Q:

Which veda deals with medicine?

A) Atharva Veda B) Yajur Veda
C) Sama Veda D) Rig Veda
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Atharva Veda

Explanation:

The Vedas are considered the earliest literary record of Indo-Aryan civilization. It is the most sacred scriptures of India.

 

There are four Vedas in Hinduism. They are:

1. The Rig Veda,

2. Sama Veda,

3. Yajur Veda and

4. Atharva Veda.


Most ailments, both physical and mental, were attributed to malevolent spirits and cures consisted of rituals, charms, mantras, medicines and surgical intervention.

The hymns in the Atharva Veda, the last of the four Vedas, and largely composed after the Aryans were well settled in the sub-continent, indicate that indigenous non-Aryan healing practices had influenced the Vedic Aryan healers.

Q:

Improve the given sentence if necessary.

We can go out whenever we choose to, isn’t it?

A) can’t we B) are we not
C) don’t we D) No improvement
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) can’t we

Explanation:

The question tag ‘isn’t it’ needs to be replaced with ‘can’t we’. This is because the sentence and the question tag must be in the same tense and the same pronoun is to be used in the question tag. Thus, the correct formation would be, ‘we can go out whenever we choose to, can’t we?’
