(a) fighting (b) hearing (c) noise (d) bitterness Fallacy : Don’t live under the fallacy that luck will do everything for you.

(a) clear (b) impressive (c) unimpressive (d) unclear Synonym in Context Directions Choose the synonym from the four options for the underlined word in the sentence. Example 1. Cacophony : Quarrelling people created a lot of cacophony and so nobody was able to hear us. (a) fighting (b) hearing (c) noise (d) bitterness Explanation What quarrelling or fighting or arguing people produce or create that makes hearing impossible? They created what? The correct answer is (c) noise. Example 2. Fallacy : Don’t live under the fallacy that luck will do everything for you. (a) right belief (b) weakness (c) pleasure (d) wrong belief Explanation Is depending on luck for everything right or good? You can re-read the sentences as ‘Don’t live under the wrong or bad idea that …’. The correct answer is (d) wrong belief. Example 3. Desiccate : The washed and wet wheat was spread under the sun to desiccate. (a) to dry (b) to shine (c) to pack (d) to break Explanation Why do we spread washed clothes and grains under the sun? The correct answer is (a) to dry. Example 4. Exacerbate : Drinking more and more exacerbated his already poor health. (a) improved (b) worsened (c) killed (d) checked Explanation Is it advisable to drink when somebody’s health is already poor? What will it do to his health – improve or make it further bad? You can read it as ‘Drinking more and more deteriorated …’ The correct answer is (b) worsened. Example 5. Ambiguous : He changed his statement so many times that entire his message became ambiguous. (a) clear (b) impressive (c) unimpressive (d) unclear Explanation Will not change statements again and again confuse the listeners and make it unclear to them? You can re-read the sentence as ‘that entire his message became confusing’. The correct answer is (d) unclear At times you may not be able to guess the meaning in the context because of (a) unfamiliar idea or language (b) unusual usage of the word In such cases, you are advised to take help of the root of the word, prefix-suffix or other such devices that we are going to discuss further. Antonym in Context The exercise on synonyms has made this clear to you how to locate a correct answer. In case of antonyms, you have to first replace the underlined word with an easier word and then make negative of the word by adding ‘no’ or ‘not’ to it. Read the sentence again with the negative word. Then, look for the word in the choices that can fit in the sentence without changing its meaning in the negative sense. Follow the procedure explained below in finding antonyms to a word in a given context. Directions Guess the meaning of the underlined words in the context and choose the antonym for the same. Example 1. Diligent : The student’s constant and diligent efforts brought him great success. (a) lucky (b) constant (c) lazy (d) slow Explanation ‘Constant and diligent’ can be read as ‘constant and labourious’ and converted into negative as ‘constant but not labourious’. Another word for ‘not laborious’ is lazy. The correct answer is (c) lazy. Example 2. Bellicose : The bellicose countries finally stopped fighting. (a) friendly (b) fighting (c) peaceful (d) hateful Explanation ‘Finally stopped fighting’ suggests that the countries were fighting. Bellicose means fighting. Therefore, you need ‘not fighting’ as opposite and another word for the same is peaceful. The correct answer is (c) peaceful. Example 3. Audacity : Encouraged by success, the soldier moved with audacity and killed the enemy. (a) courage (b) boldness (c) timidity (d) strength Explanation Obviously, the soldier moves with confidence or courage or boldness as he was encouraged. Therefore, for ‘without courage’ there is only one option. The correct answer is (c) timidity. Example 4. Garrulous : She had to listen to her garrulous guest for hours in courtesy. (a) taciturn (b) talkative (c) funny (d) interestin Here I am attaching pdf file of Verbal Ability for MBA which is free for download |
