Sample English Language questions with solutions

Written to the Coast Guard Navik (GD) 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.

Error spotting · solved example

Identify the part that contains an error: He did not (1) / went to the office (2) / because he was (3) / feeling unwell. (4)

  • (4)
  • No error
  • (2)Correct
  • (1)
  • (3)

Solution

After the auxiliary "did", the base form is needed, so it should be "did not go", not "did not went". The error is in part (2).

Vocabulary in context · solved example

Central banks around the world increasingly rely on a framework known as inflation targeting. Under it, the bank publicly commits to keeping inflation near a stated number and adjusts interest rates to steer prices towards that goal. Supporters argue that a clear target anchors the expectations of businesses and households, so that a temporary shock does not spiral into a lasting rise in prices. Critics counter that a rigid focus on inflation can lead a bank to ignore unemployment and financial stability. In practice, most central banks treat the target as a guide rather than a strict rule, allowing themselves room to respond to a crisis.

Which word is most nearly OPPOSITE in meaning to RIGID as used in the passage?

  • strict
  • firm
  • flexibleCorrect
  • harsh
  • fixed

Solution

'Rigid' means inflexible or unbending, so its opposite is 'flexible'. Strict, firm, harsh and fixed are all close in meaning to rigid, not opposite to it.

Reading comprehension · solved example

The rapid growth of app-based work has given millions of people a flexible way to earn, letting them choose when and how much they work. Yet this flexibility often comes without the protections that traditional employment carries, such as paid leave, health cover and a guaranteed minimum wage. Policymakers now face a difficult question: how to extend basic protections to gig workers without removing the flexibility that makes such work attractive in the first place. Some countries have begun to create a new legal category that sits between employee and independent contractor, though no single model has yet proved a clear success.

Which of the following statements is NOT supported by the passage?

  • App-based work lets people choose when they work.
  • Gig work often lacks a guaranteed minimum wage.
  • A single legal model has clearly succeeded across countries.Correct
  • Policymakers are weighing protections against flexibility.
  • Some countries have created a category between employee and contractor.

Solution

The passage says explicitly that 'no single model has yet proved a clear success', so statement C is not supported. The other four statements each restate points the passage makes.

Para jumble · solved example

Rearrange the following six sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), (E) and (F) into a meaningful paragraph, then answer the question. (A) Before the container, loading a vessel was slow and back-breaking work, with cargo carried aboard piece by piece in sacks, barrels and crates. (B) The shipping container is rarely mentioned in histories of globalisation, yet few inventions did more to bring it about. (C) A plain metal box, standardised so that it could move from truck to train to ship without being opened, sounds far too dull to deserve the credit. (D) By collapsing the cost of moving goods to a fraction of what it had been, the box made it profitable to manufacture on one continent and sell on another. (E) That very dullness, however, was the source of its power. (F) A ship could therefore sit idle at the dockside for days while gangs of labourers handled its cargo by hand.

Which of the following pairs of sentences are consecutive, in the given order, in the rearranged paragraph?

  • A then FCorrect
  • E then C
  • B then A
  • D then F
  • C then A

Solution

In the order B-C-E-A-F-D, (A) is immediately followed by (F): the piece-by-piece loading in (A) leads to the ship sitting idle in (F). The other pairs are either reversed or not adjacent.
