Q1:jipmat 2025VARC › Parts of SpeechEasyVARC · MCQ
Pick the most appropriate word to fill (v) in the given passage:
Alarge
Blargest
Clargely
Dlargly
Pick an option to attempt
The Setup: We are looking for the correct word to fill in the blank (v) to complete the phrase regarding how the Indian Bill of Rights took content from other constitutions. We need to correctly modify the verb 'borrowed.'
Step 1: Identify the grammatical requirement. The sentence describes the action of borrowing ('borrowed... from other Constitutions'). To modify a verb and describe the extent or manner of that action, we absolutely need an adverb.
Step 2: Eliminate the imposters.
'large' is a base adjective (used to modify nouns).
'largest' is a superlative adjective. Neither of these can modify a verb.
'largly' is literally just a typo-it's a misspelled, fake word.
Step 3: Secure the W. 'Largely' is a properly spelled adverb. Placing it into the sentence creates the phrase 'borrowed largely from other Constitutions,' which perfectly indicates that a significant amount of content was adopted. It's grammatically flawless.
Final Answer: largely
Q2:jipmat 2025VARC › Parts of SpeechEasyVARC · MCQ
Pick the most appropriate word to fill (ii) in the given passage:
Aon behalf
Bbehalf of
Con the behalf of
Don behalf of
Pick an option to attempt
The Setup: We need to complete the prepositional phrase that indicates who the historical demands were being made for. The sentence states demands were made '(ii) India,' meaning someone was advocating for India's interests.
Step 1: Recall the standard English idiom. When you represent someone, act as their proxy, or advocate for their interests, the standard phrase is acting 'on behalf of' them.
Step 2: Eliminate the imposters.
'on behalf' is an incomplete phrase because it lacks the 'of' required to connect it to the target noun (India).
'behalf of' is grammatically incomplete because it's missing the starting preposition 'on'.
'on the behalf of' adds an unnecessary article ('the'), making it wordy and not standard English usage.
Step 3: Secure the W. 'on behalf of' is the only complete, grammatically correct phrase in the lineup that properly indicates representation.
Final Answer: on behalf of
Q3:jipmat 2025VARC › Parts of SpeechEasyVARC · MCQ
Pick the most appropriate word to fill (iii) in the given passage:
Aaccepted
Baccepting
Cacceptable
Dacceptably
Pick an option to attempt
The Setup: We need to figure out how the 'Indian mind' viewed the British system of unwritten rules. The sentence structure is 'This was not [blank] to the Indian mind...'. We are looking for a word that describes the state of the British approach from the Indian POV.
Step 1: Identify the grammatical requirement. Following the linking verb phrase 'was not,' we need an adjective to describe the pronoun 'This' (which refers to the British tradition).
Step 2: Eliminate the verb forms.
'accepted' (past participle) would indicate a completed action rather than a descriptive state, making it a clunky fit.
'accepting' (present participle) implies the situation itself is doing the accepting, which is grammatically incorrect and makes zero sense contextually.
Step 3: Eliminate the adverb. 'acceptably' is an adverb used to modify a verb. It cannot follow 'was not' to describe a noun/pronoun.
Step 4: Lock in the adjective. 'acceptable' is a pure adjective. It correctly conveys that, based on their historical trauma from 'oppressive acts,' the Indians found the British approach of relying on unwritten practices completely unacceptable. It passes the grammar and context vibe check perfectly.
Final Answer: acceptable
Q4:jipmat 2025VARC › Parts of SpeechEasyVARC · MCQ
Pick the most appropriate word to fill (i) in the given passage:
Athe
Bin
Con
Dwith
Pick an option to attempt
The Setup: We are completing a comparative sentence contrasting the constitutional setup of India with that of Britain. The phrase is 'Unlike, [blank] Britain, the Indian Constitution...'.
Step 1: Test option A ('the'). Using 'the' before a singular proper country name like Britain (i.e., 'Unlike the Britain') is grammatically incorrect and an automatic L.
Step 2: Test options C and D ('on', 'with'). 'Unlike on Britain' makes absolutely zero sense contextually. 'Unlike with Britain' doesn't correctly establish the proper situational comparison we need here. Both formats completely fumble the bag.
Step 3: Lock in the location preposition. 'Unlike in Britain' is an established English idiom. It perfectly and naturally sets up the comparison between the constitutional situation *inside* Britain and the one *inside* India. It passes the grammar vibe check flawlessly.
Final Answer: in
