Due to the fact that Shakespeare didn't produce an autobiography, (1)___________ is known about many parts of his life and some of it remains a (2)__________! Sometime before 1590, Shakespeare left Stratford. But where did he go? Again, it is not clear why, although one story suggests it is because he had been forced to run away from home after poaching deer! Little is known about what he did, but eventually he travelled to London, which was the biggest city in England, though much (3)_________ than it is today.

One (5)__________ writer - Robert Greene - wrote rude things about this newcomer and referred to him as an 'upstart crow'. Disaster struck in 1593 when a terrible disease called the plague hit London. Thousands of people became unwell and died and this caused the theatres to shut. Rather than giving up, Shakespeare turned to writing poems rather than plays and soon the theatres were reopened.
Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in blank no. 2.
Option 1: secret
Option 2: history
Option 3: exotic
Option 4: mystery
Correct Answer: mystery
Solution : The correct choice is the fourth option.
Mystery is a suitable choice to convey the idea that there are unknown or unclear elements, emphasising the lack of information or documentation about certain parts of Shakespeare's life due to the absence of an autobiography. It captures the sense that there are aspects that remain puzzling or undisclosed.
Therefore, the right word to fill in the blank is mystery.
Answer laterQuestion : Directions: Two statements are given, followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. Assuming the statements to be true, even if they seem to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
No actor is an engineer.
All engineers are magicians.
Conclusions:
I. No magician is an engineer.
II. Some magicians are engineers.
Option 1: Both conclusions follow
Option 2: Either conclusion I or II follows
Option 3: Only conclusion I follows
Option 4: Only conclusion II follows
Correct Answer: Only conclusion II follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram, according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyze the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): No magician is an engineer – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing magician lie inside the circle representing engineer while some lie outside. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): Some magicians are engineers – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that some parts of the circle representing magician lie inside the circle representing engineer while some lie outside. Thus, it can be concluded that magicians are engineers.
So, only conclusion II follows. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Due to the fact that Shakespeare didn't produce an autobiography, (1)___________ is known about many parts of his life and some of it remains a (2)__________! Sometime before 1590, Shakespeare left Stratford. But where did he go? Again, it is not clear why, although one story suggests it is because he had been forced to run away from home after poaching deer!

Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank no. 4.
Option 1: Primitively
Option 2: Initially
Option 3: Firstly
Option 4: First of all
Correct Answer: Initially
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
Initially is a suitable choice because it accurately conveys the idea that becoming an actor was one of the early stages or starting points in Shakespeare's career trajectory. It aligns with the chronological progression of events described in the passage, highlighting a phase in Shakespeare's life when he first ventured into acting.
Therefore, the right word to fill in the blank is initially.
Question : Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.
The famous actor, along with his close family members, were attending the annual day function at his son's school.
Option 1: has attending
Option 2: are attending
Option 3: am attending
Option 4: was attending
Correct Answer: was attending
Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.
In the original sentence, the error lies in the subject-verb agreement. When two nouns are connected by alongwith, the verb must agree with the first subject. The famous actor acts as the main subject, and when joined by along with, the subject remains singular so it should be followed by a singular verb.
For singular subjects, the correct verb form is "was" instead of "were".

Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank no. 5.
Option 1: inferior
Option 2: jealous
Option 3: bad
Option 4: rude
Correct Answer: jealous
Solution : The correct choice is the second option.
The term jealous accurately conveys the idea that Greene's comments were fueled by envy or resentment, indicating a sense of rivalry or competition. It aligns with the context of Greene's negative remarks about Shakespeare, implying that Greene might have been envious of Shakespeare's success or recognition.
Therefore, the right word to fill in the blank is jealous.
Question : Directions: Read the given statements and conclusions carefully. Assuming that the information given in the statements is true, even if it appears to be at variance with commonly known facts, decide which of the given conclusions logically follow(s) from the statements.
Statements:
1. Some dancers are singers.
2. No singer is an actor.
Conclusions:
I. Some actors are singers.
II. All singers are dancers.
Option 1: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Option 2: Only conclusion I follows
Option 3: Either conclusion I or II follows
Option 4: Only conclusion II follows
Correct Answer: Neither conclusion I nor II follows
Solution : The possible Venn diagram, according to the given statements is as follows –
Let's analyse the conclusions –
Conclusion (I): Some actors are singers – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that there is a negative relation between actors and singers. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
Conclusion (II): All singers are dancers – From the Venn diagram, it is evident that the circles representing singers and dancers overlap and have some parts of their area in common. Thus, this conclusion does not follow.
So, neither conclusion I nor II follows. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank no. 3.
Option 1: Smaller
Option 2: bigger
Option 3: younger
Option 4: larger
Correct Answer: Smaller
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
"Smaller" is the appropriate term to convey the comparative aspect, emphasising the reduced size of London in the historical context being described in the passage. The term smaller accurately conveys the idea that, at the time being referred to in the passage, London was not as large or expansive as it is in contemporary times.
Therefore, the right word to fill in the blank is smaller.
Question : Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the underlined word.
The actor was ridiculed for her nonchalant attitude towards her work.
Option 1: Boisterous
Option 2: Unconcerned
Option 3: Considerate
Option 4: Retrospective
Correct Answer: Considerate
Solution : The right option is the third option.
Nonchalant means showing a lack of concern, whereas considerate means showing concern for the feelings or needs of others. So, "considerate" is the antonym that best opposes the meaning of "nonchalant".
The meanings of other given words are:
- Boisterous: Someone who is noisy, energetic, and rowdy, often characterised by high-spirited or exuberant behaviour.
- Unconcerned: Someone who is not worried or bothered; lacking interest or involvement in a particular situation.
- Retrospective: That means looking back on or directed to the past; contemplating or reviewing past events or situations.
Therefore, the correct answer is considerate.

Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank no. 1.
Option 1: little
Option 2: insufficient
Option 3: miniscule
Option 4: ample
Correct Answer: little
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
