81. (a); It’s given in the first paragraph that ‘’ ……. but
let us instead focus on the important aspects that
pertain to the data ecosystem’. Hence (a) is the
correct option.
82. (d); From the first and third paragraphs, we can
conclude that (i)and (ii) are true. Now it is given in
the fourth paragraph that ‘Geospatial information,
especially when so widely defined, keeps changing’.
Hence, (iii) is false. Hence (d) is the correct option.
83. (b) It is given in the fourth paragraph that ‘A
government regulator that is yet to be set up….’
Hence, (b) is the correct option.
84. (c); From the first paragraph, we can conclude that
(c) is the correct option.

85. (a); It is given in the last paragraph that ‘To
satisfactorily “vet” the complex mishmashes of data
that are bound to emerge over time will be a
challenging task’. Hence, (a) is the correct option.
86. (e); ‘A licence to kill innovation’ is the apt title.
87. (a); ‘Leverage´ means ‘use (something) to maximum
advantage’. Hence, ‘advantage’ is the word which is
most similar in meaning to it.
88. (e); ‘Trajectories´ means ‘the path followed by a
projectile’. Hence, ‘course’ is the word which is most
similar in meaning to it.
89. (c); ‘Acquiring’ means ‘buy or obtain for oneself’.
Hence, ‘Forfeit’ is the word which is most opposite
in meaning to it.
90. (b); ‘Vet’ means ‘make a careful and critical
examination of something’. Hence, ‘Overlook’ is the
word which is most opposite in meaning to it.
91. (e)

95. (a)
96. (e)
97. (d)
98. (b)
99. (c)
100. (e)
101. (b); Replace ‘were invited to cover specified events
on ‘ with ‘invited to cover specific events in’. Since
two auxiliary verbs can not be used together for the
same subject.
102. (a); Replace ‘since they are taking the threat serious’
with ‘while they were taking the threat seriously’.
103. (e); No correction required
104. (d); Replace ‘surrounded by the prisoners’ ethnic
origin and linguistic affinity’ with ‘surrounding the
prisoners’ ethnic origin or linguistic affinity’.
105. (b); Replace ‘will be proposed a mechanism to
counter’ with ‘has proposed a mechanism to
address’.
The correct order to form a meaningful paragraph
is BDFACE
106. (b); B
107. (e); E
108. (d); D
109. (e); F
110. (a); A
111. (a); ‘Not only; expanding’ is the correct option.
112. (a); ’ before; amendment’ is the correct option.
Since, the sentence is in past hence, (a), (b), (e) are
the probable answers, but ‘legislations’ are
amended (not changed). Hence, (a) is the correct
option.
113. (c); ‘While; following’ is the correct option. Since,
the word ‘reiterated’ suggests that the
pronouncements were acknowledged by the
Supreme Court. Hence, ‘following’ is the appropriate
option for second blank. Hence, (c) is the correct
option.
Reiterate: Repeat
114. (b); ‘sedate; enraptured’ is the correct option.
Sedate: Calm; dignified
Enraptured: Give intense pleasure or joy to.
Rest of the options are either paradoxical or against
the meaning of the sentence. Hence, (b) is the
correct option.
115. (e); ‘principles; essentially’ is the correct option. For
the second blank an adverb is required. So, either
(a) or (e) is the correct option. But, look at the
meaning of the following.
Eventfully: used to denote events marked by
interesting or exciting events.
Essentially: used to emphasize the basic,
fundamental, or intrinsic nature of a person or
thing.
Hence, (e) is the correct option.
