52. (B) Under following conditions the President
can dissolve Lok Sabha without Prime
Minister advice
1. End of Term: Term of Lok Sabha is five
years. When the term is over, President

2. When government formation with
Majority in Lok Sabha is not
possible: Sometimes government of the
day looses majority in the lower house.
President makes an attempt to form a
stable government. When those efforts
fail, then President can dissolve Lok
Sabha and ask Election Commission
to call for fresh elections. In 1999, after
Vajpayee lost the confidence of the
house, then President K. R. Narayanan
attempted to help form government at
centre. All attempts failed as no one
could could convince the President that
s/he had support of majority of
members in Lok Sabha. President had
no choice but to dissolve Lok Sabha and

feast on decomposing organic matter,
such as grasses and wood. Almost half of
the world’s methane comes from natural

with each of two hydrogen atoms, and
each of the two hydrogen atoms shares
it’s one and only electron with oxygen.
This is called a covalent bond. Each
hydrogen atom thinks it has two

Magsaysay Award is Asia’s highest honor
and is widely regarded as the region’s
equivalent of the Nobel Prize.
75. (B) Rupiah is the currency of Indonesia.
76. (B) ‘would like to’ must replace the
underlined part to improve the sentence.
The sentence is in past form, so, past form
of ‘will’ should be used.
77. (C) ‘refuse’ should replace the underlined part
to improve the sentence. Though ‘reject,
refuse and deny' are almost similar in
meaning, they exhibit subtleties in their
meaning and usage. ‘To deny’ is to mainly
say that something is not true, as an
allegation. To refuse something is not to
accept it. ‘Reject’ is almost similar to
‘refuse’, but is stronger, used mostly in
case of a proposal or request. So, here in
the sentence, refuse is the best suited
word.
78. (A) ‘had waited’ should replace the
underlined part, as the sentence is in
passive form and the past tense is change
into past participle tense form.
79. (B) ‘Pronunciation’ is the wrongly spelt word.
The correct spelling is ‘pronunciation’ ,
which means the act or manner of
speaking a word, which has been accepted
generally.
Meaning of other words –
 Enthusiast – One who is filled with
enthusiasm
 Vassal – A subordinate or dependent
 Marginalize – to place in a position of
marginal importance
80. (B) ‘Stricken’ should come in place of the
blank. ‘Stricken’ means ‘deeply affected,
as by grief, love etc’. The sentence talks
about ‘his’ being afflicted by the injustice
done to ‘him’.
6
 82. (D) ‘Submerged’ should replace the blank.
The word ‘submerge means to immerse
something/someone in a liquid. All the
other options are with a tinge of
negativity, while the sentence is one of a
positive note. So (D) is the best choice.
83. (B) Replace ‘will come’ with ‘comes’.
The question is an example of usage
of‘Adverb clause of time’, which is
introduced by conjunctions of time such
as when, whenever, as soon as, while,
before, after, until, by the time, since,
ever since, as long as.
When we talk about something that is yet
to take place in future, use ‘present tense’
in the adverb clause and ‘future tense’ in
the main clause.
Ex. – I will start when I am ready.
(NOT I will start when I will be ready)
84. (D) No error
85. (C) Replace ‘Instead of’ by ‘In spite of’.
86. (C) ‘Conciseness’ is the correct synonym of
Brevity.
95. (D) The idiom ‘Easy come, easy go’ is used to
express or explain the loss of something
that required only a small amount of effort
to acquire in the first place. So, (D) is the
correct choice.
For example –
“John spends his money as fast as he can
earn it. With john it’s come, easy go.”
96. (B) The idiom ‘A pig in a poke’ is used to
express something that is purchased
without having been thoroughly
inspected, often with negative
consequence. So, (B) is the correct choice.
For example –
“Purchasing a home without inspecting
it first is like buying a pig in poke.”
97. (C) The idiom ‘Beat a hasty retreat’ means
to withdraw from a place quickly. So, (C)
is the correct answer.
For example –
“The dog beat a hasty retreat to its own
yard.”
