CDS English 10 April 2022 Official Paper (Previous Year Paper)

The correct answer is 'RPQS.'

Key Points 

• While arranging the parts of the passage given in options, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them, so let’s find out.  
• The first statement in the sequence should be the one that best connects with S1.
• It should be a continuation or extension of S1.
• R follows S1 because it is adding information about the consequence of the event, explained in S1.
• P follows R because it is adding more information to R.
• S is directly connected to S6 as P is talking about the undernourished people.
• Therefore, the sequence is 'S1RPQSS6.'
• ​​The correct sequence:
  

​

S1 : Hunger and malnutrition are outcomes of food insecurity or the inability to access adequate food and nutrition.

R : Hunger-related poverty remains one of the major deprivations in India.

P : In 2001-03, every fifth Indian was found to be undernourished.

Q : The rate of decline in this proportion of the undernourished through the 1990s was much slower in comparison to the decline in poverty headcount ratio.

S : In fact, the proportion of undernourished people remained stagnant at 21% in the second half of 1990s, and the number actually increased.

S6 : It is most likely that India is going to miss the Millennium Development Goal in this regard.

• ​​The correct sequence:
  

​

S1 :  The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) was established in 1975.

S : It is the natural meteorological service and the principal agency in all matters related to meteorology.

R : The IMD issued the first operational long range forecast of seasonal south-west monsoon rainfall in India in 1986.

Q : The Crop Yield Formation Unit of the department has developed statistical models using correlation and regression techniques.

P : The Meteorological Department is perhaps also burdened with the most critical form of soothsaying i.e., forecasting the monsoon.

S6 : These predictions have an effect on the Indian economy that belies any belief that the economy of our country is not solely dependent on agriculture and the rains that feed it.

The correct answer is 'what I have told him**.'**

Key Points

• The direct object of "knows" must be the information that 'he' is aware of, which can be precisely expressed with the word "what". Therefore, 'what' introduces a noun clause "what I have told him", that functions as the necessary direct object for the verb "knows". The use of 'what' here implies that the extent of his knowledge is limited to the specifics of whatever information the speaker has shared with him
• The alternative, "so far as I have told him" doesn't quite fit well in this particular context because the phrase "so far as" is typically used to discuss limits in terms of extent or degree, but isn't commonly used in the context of knowledge or information being imparted to someone. It would be more appropriate in a context like "He's successful so far as I can see."
• Thus the correct answer is 'option 4'.

Correct sentence: "He knows only what I have told him."

The correct answer is 'so you must lie on it.'

Key Points

• The word "as" would usually describe a time frame of an action, and "so" would give you the consequential event from said action or an event that occurred at the same time frame of "as."

• Example: As the cities crumbled, so did new ones arise.
• Correct sentence: As you have made your bed so you must lie on it.

• The zero conditional is used for when the time being referred to is now or always and the situation is real and possible.
• The zero conditional is often used to refer to general truths.
• The tense in both parts of the sentence is the simple present.
• In zero conditional sentences, the word "if" can usually be replaced by the word "when" without changing the meaning.
