Ans:2 What is ‘Greek’? Is it something on which someone could climb? Is it something which could be watched? Is it something which could be seen? Is it which could be invited? Or Is it something which could be read? Greek has two meanings: one denotes the name of a Language, and the other denotes the name for the citizens of the Greece. So, among the options, the two contenders for the correct answer are the options (b) and (e). Now, if ‘Greek’ is a common name attributed to a singular person, then it should be preceded by an article which is missing. The word ‘Greek’ can’t be plural because the word itself is a singular.

Storing (or throwing) three eggs into a box (or a dustbin) and mixing them together don’t make sense. So, the options (a) and (d) are also ruled out. Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.

Ans:5 Neither the options (a), (b), (c) nor (d), upon filling the blanks, makes a contextually meaningful sentence. In each of the case, either the words are irrelevant or one of the word, upon filling the blank, contradicts the other word. The correct answer is the option (e).

    The final element that absolutely link needs to be covered is the bracelet which is both strange and wonderful. Tapering from 20mm to 15mm at the dual-folding push-button clasp it doesn’t wear like a dive watch bracelet but it does really suit the watch. The links are thin less than 4mm with brushed faces polished facets and plenty of visual complexity.
