PASSAGE A
1.
“… to be sure, this generally happens when one
eats cake, but Alice had got so much into the way of expecting nothing but out-
of- the- way things to happen, that it seemed quite dull stupid for life to go
on in the common way.” This statement closest in meaning to this sentence is
A.
Alice’s life was going to change after eating
the cake.
B.
Alice’s life was dull and stupid.
C.
Alice expected the cake to work magic, because
she had become used to expecting the unexpected, and disliked normal results.
D.
Alice wanted the cake to work magic because her
life was dull and stupid
2.
“And she tried to fancy what the flame of a
candle is like after the candle is blown out, for she could not remember ever
having seen such a thing.” The word “fancy’ here means.
A.
Elaborate
B.
Like
C.
Imagine
D.
Inclination
3.
“Come, there’s no use in crying like that!’ said
Alice to herself, rather sharply, ‘I advise you to leave off this minute!”
Choose the most appropriate way of putting this sentence.
A.
Alice admonished herself.
B.
Alice denounced herself.
C.
Alice decried herself.
D.
Alice felicitated herself.
Answer:
1.
C Within the confines of the information the
passage gives us there is no indication that Alice found her life dull and
stupid . She just liked novelty. Hence the most probable answer is C.
2.
C
Substitute ‘ fancy’ with each of these words in the sentence. The only
word that best refains the meaning is ‘imagine’.
3.
A such a rebuke is not quite a disciplinary
measure, hence admonish is the most appropriate words here.
