Q:

In the given question, a statement divided into different segments is given. The first segment is fixed, rearrange the other segments to form a coherent statement.

Introduction of the finance bill was delayed/ budget allocation for the cottage (P)/ debating over the renewal of the last year's (Q)/ by a week as the lawmakers were busy (R)/ industry which got wasted (S)

A) PQRS	B) SPQR
C) RQPS	D) QRPS

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) RQPS

Explanation:

This question can be best solved by the elimination technique. 'was delayed budget allocation', 'was delayed industry which' and 'was delayed debating over' do not make sense; hence P, Q and S can't follow the first segment. This eliminates options 1, 2 and 4. Option 5 places S after R which makes the resultant segment as 'lawmakers were busy industry' which is illogical; hence option 5 can also be eliminated. Hence, the correct sequence is RQPS.

Q:

A sentence with one blank is given, indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the word that best fits the blank appropriately.

The judge used his ___ in settling the matter.

A) Know	B) Tactics
C) Discretion	D) Brains

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Discretion

Explanation:

To settle a dispute, one needs to have a sound decision-making ability to be able to judge both the sides. Also, a judge is a free body to decide upon any issue. 'Know' is a verb which means to be aware of through observation, inquiry, or information. 'Tactics' refer to an action or strategy carefully planned to achieve a specific end. A judge doesn't need tactics to make a judgment. 'Discretion' means the freedom to decide what should be done in a particular situation. 'Brains' refer to the intellectual capacity. 'Bias' means inclination or prejudice for or against one person or group, especially in a way considered to be unfair. Hence option 3 is the correct response.
