Q41. The doctor advised him to go _________ several medical tests.
The doctor advised him to go through several medical tests. Correct reason: Go through means to undergo or experience tests. It is a fixed phrase used for completing or undergoing procedures. A. to is not used here; “go to tests” is unnatural. C. under would pair with undergo (not used as “go under tests”). D. into is incorrect for this meaning.
Q42. ________ her looks I could see she was in trouble.
Explanation Correct answer: from — We infer something based on appearance: “From her looks I could see she was in trouble.” Rule/usage: use from to show inference or deduction drawn from evidence. Other options are incorrect: of is not used for inference; by or with do not fit the meaning here.
Q43. I acquiesced _________ his decision.
Correct option: A Rule: Acquiesce in means to accept or agree quietly or passively to something, often a decision or situation. Usage: I acquiesced in his decision. This shows passive agreement with the decision. Why others are wrong: to: used with requests or proposals (acquiesce to his request). with: not standard for “agreeing to a decision.” by: not used to show agreement; indicates agent or means.
Q44. I am posted upto date________ your case.
Correct option: D with is the fixed collocation: “up to date with someone/something” means you are informed or current about their status or case. “in”/“into”/“upon” do not fit the idiom here. They do not express being current or informed about a case.
Q45. India differs _________________ England.
Explanation Correct choice: B. from — We use differ from to show two things are not the same or are opposite in general. “India differs from England.” A. with is incorrect here; use differ with when talking about opinions or viewpoints, not general difference. C. of and D. for do not fit the common collocation with differ.
Q46. He is blind ________ one eye.
Correct answer: A Rule/usage: The phrase "blind of one eye" is an older/less common construction indicating possession of the condition. Modern standard is "blind in one eye." Still, in some contexts, "blind of" is heard in literature or regional speech. Why others are wrong: "blind to one eye" (not idiomatic); "blind with one eye" (not standard); "blind for one eye" (not used).
Q47. A father is blind _________ the faults of his son.
Correct answer: B) to Reason: The fixed phrase “blind to” means unable to see or unaware of something. Here, the father cannot see the faults. Rule/usage: Adjective blind followed by to + noun/adjective phrase describes what is not noticed. Why others are wrong: blind of – not a standard collocation. blind with / for – do not convey inability to notice faults.
Q48. There was no cause ___________ anxiety.
Explanation Correct answer: C (for) — The standard collocation is cause for + noun, meaning the reason for something. Here, the reason for anxiety is being referred to. Options A (of), B (with), D (in) do not fit the fixed phrase cause for and sound unnatural here. Rule: use cause for to express the reason or purpose behind something.
