Key Points

• The sentence describes a situation where the hutment dweller receives a positive and unexpected surprise from the government.
• Out of all the options, Option 4 best aligns with the context of a "pleasant surprise" for the hutment dweller.
• Options 1, 2, and 3 are incorrect as they imply negative or neutral outcomes rather than a pleasant surprise.

Additional Information

• Option 1: "he had to vacate the hutment which he had been unauthorisedly occupying" contradicts the idea of a pleasant surprise as it implies a negative outcome.
• Option 2: "he would be arrested for encroaching on the pavement outside his dwelling" is incorrect as it conveys a threat rather than a surprise.
• Option 3: "they had received orders from the Court to take possession of his hutment" is incorrect as it implies a legal action against the dweller, not a pleasant surprise.

Key Points

• The statement begins with "Although initial investigations pointed towards him," which indicates a contrast or unexpected turn in the sentence.
• Among the given options, only Option 3 ("the subsequent evidence that surfaced proved that he was innocent") provides a meaningful and logical contrast to the initial clause.
• The other options either reinforce the initial suspicion (Option 1, 2, and 4), which does not align with the word "Although," or are irrelevant.

​Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 3'.

Complete Sentence: Although initial investigations pointed towards him, the subsequent evidence that surfaced proved that he was innocent.

Additional Information

• Option 1: "The preceding events corroborated his involvement in the crime" contradicts the tone set by "Although."
• Option 2: "The additional information confirmed his guilt" also does not fit with the idea of contrast implied by "Although."
• Option 4: "He gave an open confession of his involvement in the crime" is irrelevant to the sentence structure.

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2- ivory towers.

To live in an ivory tower is an idiom which means having no knowledge or experience of the practical problems of everyday life; be detached from the ground realities of life. 

Note:

The context of this sentence refers to the fact that academicians are so caught up in their academic and theoretical arguments, that they often fail to see the practical and real-life challenges that common people face. 

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Crocodile

"Crocodile tears" is a phrase that means - to put on an insincere show of sorrow. When someone feigns sadness they 'cry crocodile tears' a phrase that comes from an old myth that the animals cry while eating. 

Complete sentence: He is known for his unscrupulous ways. He always sheds Crocodile tears to deceive people.

Explanation:

Correct answer: Option 4 (convoluted)

The given sentence states that there is a common misunderstanding among existing authors that the quality of sentence structure closely resembles the thought process or even affects it.

'Convoluted' means something that is extremely complex and difficult to follow. It is generally used in the context of an argument or a story. 

The other options (especially 'simple' and 'clear') do not provide a correct meaning if placed in the blank.

Hence, convoluted is the correct answer.

NOTE: 'Detailed' can imply something that is comprehensive. It does not mean complicated. Hence, it cannot be the correct answer.

Correct answer: Option 3 (with)

The correct preposition to be used in the blank is 'with'.

Other prepositions ('on', 'about', and 'towards') do not fit the context.

NOTE: 'On' is basically used as a preposition of position. It is used to show the placement of something.

Example: He placed the lid on the cooker.

'About' is basically used to refer to something that the subject needs to talk about.

Example: Ellie is crazy about this movie.

'Towards' is basically used to refer to a position one is moving towards.

Example: They drove towards the German frontier.

Break down is a phrasal verb which means an explanatory analysis, especially of statistics.

'Break' and 'breaks' are rejected as they do not have 'down' in them, and they do not form a meaningful sentence when filled in the blank.

The sentence is in simple present tense with a singular subject, hence 'breaks down' is the correct answer. 

Hence, 'breaks down' is correct.

In the given statement, the first blank requires a verb whose subject is 'company' which is singular, hence according to the subject verb agreement, 'uses' fits correctly. 

The second blank requires a verb whose subject is 'strategies' which is plural, hence according to the subject verb agreement, 'include' fits correctly. 

Therefore, option 2 is the correct answer. The complete sentence is: The strategies that the company uses to sell its products include house-to-house marketing.

The correct answer is option 2- plunged

From the context, it is clear that we have to find out the reaction of the stock market to the news of the coup. A stock market can rise, fall or remain stable. 

Plunged: fell suddenly and uncontrollably; suffered a rapid decrease in value

Thus 'plunged' fits the blank both grammatically and contextually. 

The meaning of the other words-

Poised: been or caused to be balanced or suspended

Plugged: blocked or filled in (a hole or cavity)

Probed: physically explored or examined (something) with the hands or an instrument

The correct answer is option 2- from parking

The verb prohibit means to forbid or prevent; it is followed by the preposition from.

The presence of the preposition from necessitates the use of the verb following it to be in its present participle form. 

Thus the correct sentence is: People were prohibited from parking their vehicles near the entrance of the main administrative building. 

Note: We cannot use 'to' after prohibit.

Beside and besides both have different meaning.

CASE 1:

When s is added after beside i.e. besides, it can be used as a preposition or can be used as an adverb. While using as a preposition, its meaning is “in addition to” or “apart from” and while using as an adverb its meaning is “furthermore; as well as; also”.

CASE 2:

When beside is used without s at the end, it behaves only like a preposition which means “next to “, “at the side of”.

Here, correct answer is ‘besides money’, used as a preposition.

Correct sentence will be:

Extraneous - meaning irrelevant/ unconnected / unrelated to the requirements of the exam. It is the right answer because a students desire to focus on aceing their tests makes them avoid anything unrelated to their exams.

Related - means connected

Outside - means a place on the exterior
