Sample English Language questions with solutions

Written to the Coast Guard Yantrik 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

Find the part that contains an error. If there is no error, mark (e). (a) He is one of the / (b) most honest officer / (c) that this branch / (d) has ever employed.

  • (a)
  • (b)Correct
  • (c)
  • (d)
  • No error

Solution

'One of the' is followed by a plural noun, so part (b) should be 'most honest officers'. The superlative describes a group from which one is drawn.

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 sentence comes immediately AFTER sentence (C)?

  • A
  • B
  • D
  • ECorrect
  • F

Solution

(C) says the box 'sounds far too dull to deserve the credit'; (E) picks that up with 'That very dullness, however, was the source of its power.' So (E) follows (C) directly.

Reading comprehension · solved example

In recent years the Reserve Bank of India has moved to regulate digital lending, an area that grew faster than the rules meant to govern it. Its guidelines insist that loans be disbursed directly into the borrower's bank account, that every fee be disclosed before a loan is taken, and that recovery agents follow a published code of conduct. The central bank's concern is not the technology itself, which has widened access to credit, but the layer of unregulated intermediaries that had inserted themselves between the lender and the borrower, often charging hidden fees and using coercive recovery methods.

According to the passage, which of the following is a requirement laid down by the RBI's guidelines?

  • Loans must be routed through an intermediary before reaching the borrower.
  • Fees may be disclosed after the loan is disbursed.
  • Loan amounts must be paid directly into the borrower's bank account.Correct
  • Recovery agents are free to set their own methods.
  • Digital lenders must stop using technology for credit scoring.

Solution

The passage states loans must 'be disbursed directly into the borrower's bank account', which is option C. A and D are the opposite of what the guidelines require, B reverses the timing (fees must be disclosed before the loan is taken), and E is not mentioned at all.

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 sentence should be the SECOND sentence of the paragraph?

  • A
  • CCorrect
  • D
  • E
  • F

Solution

After the thesis in (B), sentence (C) introduces the box and the objection that it sounds too dull to matter, setting up the rest. The order is B-C-E-A-F-D, so (C) is second.
