In each question, one sentence is given. In each sentence, certain words are in bold and numbered from A to D. Below the sentences are given five options with possible pairs of interchange of those bold words. Choose the pair(s) of words which need to be interchanged to make the sentence grammatically correct and meaningful. Women (A)access the bulk of food in Africa, and (B)such they are largely locked out of land ownership, (C)produce to credit, and productive farm inputs (d)yet as fertilizers, pesticides, and farming tools.

Women (A)access the bulk of food in Africa, and (B)such they are largely locked out of land ownership, (C)produce to credit, and productive farm inputs (d)yet as fertilizers, pesticides, and farming tools.   Correct Answer B-D, A-C

 The correct answer is option 5

  • ​In section D the phrase Yet as has been used which is grammatically incorrect there is no such a combination of yet and as.
  • in section B --such doesn't make any sense but it can grammatically fit with as; we can say that such and yet can be interchanged
  • In section, A --access to the bulk of food and in section B--are largely locked out of these two facts contradict each other which shows that access doesn't fit here.
  • By replacing access with produce, we get a clear sense, so A and C will be interchanged.

Read the following passage and answer the item that follows. Your answers to this item should be based on the passage only. Many farmers use synthetic pesticides to kill infesting insects. The consumption of pesticides in some of the developed countries is touching 3000 grams/hectare. Unfortunately, there are reports that these compounds possess inherent toxicities that endanger the health of the farm operators, consumers and the environment. Synthetic pesticides are generally persistent in environment. Entering in food chain they destroy the microbial diversity and cause ecological imbalance. Their indiscriminate use has resulted in development of resistance among insects to insecticides, upsetting of balance in nature and resources of treated populations. Natural pest control using the botanical pesticides is safer to the user and the environment because they break down into harmless compounds within hours or days in the presence of sunlight. Plants with pesticidal properties have been in nature for millions of years without any ill or adverse effects on the ecosystem. They are easily decomposed by many microbes common in most soils. They help in the maintenance of biological diversity of predators and human health hazards. Botanical pesticides formulated from plants are biodegradable and their use in crop protection is a practical sustainable alternative. On the basis of the above passage, the following assumptions have been made: 1. Synthetic pesticides should never be used in modern agriculture. 2. One of the aims of sustainable agriculture is to ensure minimal ecological imbalance. 3. Botanical pesticides are more effective as compared to synthetic pesticides. Which of the assumptions given above is/are correct?
