Re: GRE Vocabulary Practice
As you requires here I am giving you sample Vocabulary practice paper for Graduate Record Examination (GRE). Sample paper : Question: 1 The women in the Vedic ages enjoyed a free and ------------ position in the society as such. Redeemed Confined Emancipated Liberated Unbound Correct Answer: A, C, D and E Explanation: The sentence has to be completed by adding a word that is synonymous to the word free used earlier. 'Redeemed' completely corresponds to this word, while 'Confined' is directly opposite to it. Similarly, 'Emancipated' and 'Liberated' are also synonymous to the word free. The word 'Unbound', means 'free from constraints'; which refers to being free so it is also one of the appropriate options. Therefore, 'Redeemed', 'Emancipated', 'Liberated' and 'Unbound' are the most obvious answers. Question: 2 There have been found animals who --------- even 3 miles under the sea level. Endure Exist Survive Outlast Sustain Correct Answer: B, C and E Explanation: The sentence is about the animals that live up to 3 miles under the sea level and we have to provide with words that convey the same meaning as the word 'live'. The first option, 'Endure' and the fourth one, 'Outlast' do mean to live, but have negative connotations, so we cannot take them as the correct answers. The words 'Exist', 'Survive' and 'Sustain' describe the meaning well and are thus the correct answer options. Question: 3 The ---------------- outlook towards women in the olden times never found them fit for independence. Untraditional Established Orthodox Conservative Doctrinal Correct Answer: B, C, D and E Explanation: The blank in this sentence has to be filled with the word that suits the description given in the later part of it. We have to choose the words that refer to not giving someone the deserved freedom or independence. While the first option, 'Untraditional' is completely opposite to it, all the rest of the words convey the same meaning and are the correct answer options to e put in the blank in the sentence. Question: 4 There is immense pressure felt by the body when one is under the sea, and it keeps on ----------- by many folds as one goes deeper. Escalating Mounting Depleting Aggravating Intensifying Correct Answer: A, B, D and E Explanation: The sentence refers to the increase in the pressure that is exerted on the body when one is under the sea's surface. The words, 'Escalating' and 'Mounting' are synonymous to the sense that is conveyed through the sentence; whereas the third option, 'Depleting' stands opposite to it, as it means 'to decrease'. The provided last two options; 'Aggravating' and 'Intensifying' also satisfy the demands of the sentence and are thus the correct answer options. Question: 5 Women have always -------- the religious and social duties of their husbands by participating in them equally. Divided Dealt Administered Yielded Partaken Correct Answer: C and E GRE Vocabulary test paper |
