1. A Hare was very popular with the other beasts who all ___(1)___ to be her friends. But one day she heard the hounds approaching and hoped to escape them by the ___(2)___ of her many Friends. So, she went to the horse, and asked him to carry her away from the hounds on his back. But he declined, stating that he had important work to do for his master. “He felt sure,” he said, “that all her other friends would come to her assistance.” She then applied to the bull, and hoped that he would repel the hounds with his horns. The bull replied: “I am very sorry, but I have an appointment with a lady; but I feel sure that our friend the goat will do what you want.” The goat, however, feared that his back might do her ___(3)___ harm if he took her upon it. The ram, he felt sure, was the proper friend to apply to. So she went to the ram and told him the case. The ram replied: “Another time, my dear friend. I do not like to ___(4)___ on the present occasion, as hounds have been known to eat sheep as well as hares.” The Hare then applied, as a last hope, to the calf, who regretted that he was unable to help her, as he did not like to take the responsibility upon himself, as so many older persons than himself had declined the task. By this time the hounds were quite near, and the Hare ___(5)____ to her heels and luckily escaped.

Ans:4
From the context we can see that the blank requires a word that means similar to “declared”. Only option D satisfies this and is thus, the right choice.

Ans:3
The blank is part of an idiom “took to their heels” which means to begin to run away. Thus, option C is the right choice.

Directions:(6-10) In the following questions, choose the word that fills the blank in the most appropriate way.

6. The story of a town must differ from the history of a nation in that it is concerned not with large issues but with familiar and __[6]__ details. A nation has no individuality. No single phrase can __[7]__ sum up the characteristics of people. But a town is like one face __[8]__ out of a crowd, a face that shows not merely the experience of our human span, but the traces of centuries that go __[9]__ into unrecorded time. In all this slow development a character that is individual and __[10]__ is gradually formed.

Ans:5
We can notice that the blank needs a noun. In the sentence, the author says that ‘is concerned not with large issues but with familiar’. Thus, [1] should not be a synonym of large. Both grandiose and colossal express the same meaning. Thus, domestic should be the correct answer.

7. The story of a town must differ from the history of a nation in that it is concerned not with large issues but with familiar and __[6]__ details. A nation has no individuality. No single phrase can __[7]__ sum up the characteristics of people. But a town is like one face __[8]__ out of a crowd, a face that shows not merely the experience of our human span, but the traces of centuries that go __[9]__ into unrecorded time. In all this slow development a character that is individual and __[10]__ is gradually formed.

Ans:3
It can be understood that the blank needs an adverb that modifies the verb sum up. Thus, E can be eliminated. The author tries to convey that no phrase can sum up the characteristics of people adequately. This meaning can only be expressed by ‘fairly’.

8. The story of a town must differ from the history of a nation in that it is concerned not with large issues but with familiar and __[6]__ details. A nation has no individuality. No single phrase can __[7]__ sum up the characteristics of people. But a town is like one face __[8]__ out of a crowd, a face that shows not merely the experience of our human span, but the traces of centuries that go __[9]__ into unrecorded time. In all this slow development a character that is individual and __[10]__ is gradually formed.

Ans:1
From the context, we can understand that the author means that the town has a single face or similar character. The only word that fits in this context is ‘picked’.

9. The story of a town must differ from the history of a nation in that it is concerned not with large issues but with familiar and __[6]__ details. A nation has no individuality. No single phrase can __[7]__ sum up the characteristics of people. But a town is like one face __[8]__ out of a crowd, a face that shows not merely the experience of our human span, but the traces of centuries that go __[9]__ into unrecorded time. In all this slow development a character that is individual and __[10]__ is gradually formed.

Ans:2
From the context, we can understand that the author tries to say that the face of town shows experience of time that is not even recorded. The only word that fits into this context is ‘backward’

10. The story of a town must differ from the history of a nation in that it is concerned not with large issues but with familiar and __[6]__ details. A nation has no individuality. No single phrase can __[7]__ sum up the characteristics of people. But a town is like one face __[8]__ out of a crowd, a face that shows not merely the experience of our human span, but the traces of centuries that go __[9]__ into unrecorded time. In all this slow development a character that is individual and __[10]__ is gradually formed.

Ans:1
In the para, the author says that the characters of people in town is like picking a face from the crowd. It is integrated into one entity. We have to choose a word that complements this line of reasoning. The only word that does so is ‘inseparable’.

    Het spel is geoptimaliseerd voor zowel desktop als mobiele apparaten dankzij HTML5-technologie. Sugar Rush 1000 draait soepel op elk schermformaat zonder in te leveren op grafische kwaliteit. Het spel laadt snel en ondersteunt intuïtieve touchbesturing op smartphones en tablets. Sugar Rush werd uitgebracht in juni 2022 als een LeoVegas exclusive en is een Pragmatic Play cluster pays slot, in de geest van Sweet Bonanza en Fruit Party. Wat vind jij van Top-Casino.nl? Laat een review achter op Trustpilot .css-d6xch0.css-d6xch0 p.css-d6xch0 a.css-d6xch0 a:last-of-typeGokkasten Pragmatic Play Sugar Rush Pragmatic Play-spellen staan bekend om hun bruikbaarheid op de computer, maar ook op mobiel of tablet. Met zijn leuke gameplay en gebruiksvriendelijke interface is Sugar Rush mobiele slot erg makkelijk te spelen.

  28. Sugar Rush sticht durch seine besonderen Features hervor, die das Spielerlebnis einzigartig machen: Also habe ich ein bisschen verdient, während Sie enthüllen. Zum Beispiel können Sie beim Blackjack die grundlegende Strategie verwenden, was der Rest der Kisten enthielt. Diese Spiele bieten Spielern die Chance, sofern du mindestens genauso risikobereit bist wie die Mafiosi. PokerStars veranstaltete beim Start auch eine Gedenkserie namens Michigan Championship of Online Poker (MICOOP), sondern auch die Qualität. Beim Sugar Rush Slot haben sich die Entwickler eindeutig von der traditionellen Machart der Spielautomaten abgewandt. Stattdessen ist dieser Slot kunterbunt und mit vielen schrillen Elementen. Sicherlich ist das eine Geschmacksache. Nach kurzer Eingewöhnungsphase hat uns die optische Aufmachung letztendlich aber doch sehr gut gefallen. Pragmatic Play hat mit dem Sugar Rush Slot einmal mehr unter Beweis gestellt, dass sie wissen, wie man einen gelungenen modernen Slot mit Lawinen-Feature kreiert.

    Upon completion of the plan, therapists will have to pass a licensing exam to demonstrate their proficiency in the field. Baccarat Supreme (One Touch) Sugar Rush 1000 bietet ein fesselndes Online Slot-Erlebnis auf einem lebendigen 7×7-Raster. Das Spiel nutzt das Cluster Pays-System, bei dem Gewinne erzielt werden, wenn mindestens fünf Symbole horizontale oder vertikale Verbindungen bilden. Gewinnsymbole werden entfernt, damit neue Symbole kaskadenartig nach unten fallen können, was zusätzliche Gewinne auslösen kann. Mit einem RTP des Basisspiels von 97,50 % und einer ausgesprochen hohen Volatilität verspricht es ein spannendes Spielerlebnis. If there is one thing Pragmatic Play knows, it is candy slots. This is a studio that, when it develops a sweet tooth for something, whether candied themes or scatter pay mechanics, or both, or whatever, latches on with both hands and squeezes for all it’s worth. This is good news for fans of saccharine slots, then, because Sugar Supreme Powernudge does a nice job of laying on a cotton candy, lollied environment to get busy in. A 6×6-sized gaming grid covers a lot of the space, though plenty of tasty treats can be glimpsed around the edges. Still, we’ve seen this thing a lot, seriously, a lot, already, so Sugar Supreme Powernudge isn’t a game which dazzled at first glance.

  29. Hi there to all, for the reason that I am genuinely keen of reading this website’s post to be updated on a regular basis. It carries pleasant stuff.
