Sample English Language questions with solutions

Written to the CISF Constable (Tradesman) pattern, with the answer key and the method behind it — a look at how the section is actually set before you drill the full topic sets.

Synonyms · solved example

Choose the word most similar in meaning to: ALERT

  • VigilantCorrect
  • Sleepy
  • Careless
  • Lazy

Solution

'Alert' means watchful and ready to act. 'Vigilant' is the closest synonym. The other options suggest inattention.

Error spotting · solved example

Find the part with an error. If none, choose D. Each of the guards (A) / were assigned (B) / a separate post (C) / for the night shift (D).

  • Each of the guards
  • were assignedCorrect
  • a separate post
  • No error

Solution

'Each' is singular, so the verb should be 'was assigned', not 'were assigned'. The plural noun 'guards' inside the prepositional phrase does not make the subject plural.

Antonyms · solved example

Choose the word opposite in meaning to: PERMIT

  • ForbidCorrect
  • Allow
  • Approve
  • Grant

Solution

'Permit' means to allow. 'Forbid' means to prohibit — the direct opposite.

Fill in the blanks · solved example

Choose the best word: The security officer ___ the entry gate until the relief guard arrived.

  • mannedCorrect
  • deserted
  • ignored
  • blocked

Solution

'Manned the entry gate' means the officer stayed on duty at the gate. The other verbs imply leaving or obstructing the post, which contradicts waiting for a relief guard.
