Answer / akash

The Flightless Bird

The wings of some birds are so small that they are useless
for flying. Earlier, such birds could fly. But after living
for thousands of years in places where they had no enemies,
there was no need for them to fly, and they stayed on the
ground. After a while their young ones could no longer rise
into the air.The ostrich, rhea, emu and cassowary cannot
fly, but they can run fast on their long, strong legs.
Ostriches live in Africa and are found on the grassy places
where they live along with big group of Zebras. The rhea of
South America looks rather like the Ostrich, but it is
similar and has three toes on each feet, while the ostrich
has only two.

The Kiwi about the size of a hen, hides itself in New
Zealand forests. Penguins, another group of flightless
birds, get into water and use their small wings as oars,
when there is danger.

Answer / prem prakash gupta

Hi Hemant,

I want to clear your doubts regarding some problems :-

Antonyms :-
Steadfast means "Constant" whereas Staunch means "trustworthy" and Wavering means "Movement";"Unevenness".

Now you tell me which is right ????


Synonyms :-
Squander means "to spend money wastefully" whereas Economical means "spending less" and Waste means "waste"

So you can better understand which is correct.


1st passage you are right (D) 220 & (A) on a white card
2nd passage you are right (B) To watch the people passing by
3rd passage I'm nither sure abt. yours nor mine.But regarding St, Valantine you may refer to the last paragraph of the passage....
4th passage I don't think so
6th passage I don't agree with you.


Spotting Error :-
(B) Has passed-Many a is always followed by singular verb.
(A) On the time-At the time
(C) either of the brothers which means there is selection of one between the two so the subject here is singular hence the verb agrees to the singular subject.So, singular verb "was" will be in place of "WERE"
(D) repeated the word again-Repeated And Again cannot be used together.
(A) It was me who was-It was I who am (Nominative Case)
(B) delete "why are"
(D) No Sooner is always followed by than hence the sentence is correct.
(C) Can we?-Can't we?
(B) Gone now-Go now
(C) for the last two decades-since
(C) Parade grounds-Ground
(A) concerto-concert
(B) with Guptas to a-for a
(C) pounce upon a rat-Pouncing upon a rat
(C) which invade the human body-That invade the human body
(B) has left-had left

Answer / binit

Billy: The brain behind Dudhwa park is dead
Manjari Mishra | TNN

source:- times of india

passege no -1
Billy’s fight against hunting put 26 professional shikar
companies out of job. Despite failing health, he had filed a
writ in the Allahabad high court against poaching in Dudhwa.
This is apart from a relentless battle he waged to have the
offending railway tracks running through Dudhwa shifted to
ensure its inhabitants a peaceful existence. The only regret
he had was “there was so much needed to be done for tigers
and so little time’’. The helplessness provoked him to come
up with some of the best one liners like, “If only they
could vote, tigers could have a much better chance to survive.’’
