View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

(B)

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is '(B)'.

Key Points

  • The error lies in Part (B) of the sentence.
  • The adverb 'never' is wrongly placed used in this sentence.
  • Adverbs like seldom, never, always etc are always used before the main verb.
  • So, the adverb 'never' must be used before the verb 'feed.'
  • ​Therefore, the use of 'bear never' in Part (B) of the sentence should be replaced with 'never bear' to make it grammatically correct.
  • Therefore, the correct answer is '(B)'.
  • ​Correct sentence: He spoke of the birds as his little brothers of the air, and he could never bear to see them harmed.

Additional Information  

 

  • We can use not … ever instead of never, but never is much more common.
  • Example: She has never been a friend of ours.

Hinglish  

 

  • त्रुटि वाक्य के Part (B) में निहित है।
  • इस वाक्य में adverb 'never' का गलत प्रयोग किया गया है।
  • Adverbs जैसे कि शायद ही seldom, never, always etc मुख्य क्रिया से पहले हमेशा उपयोग किए जाते हैं।
  • इसलिए, adverb 'never' का प्रयोग verb 'feed' से पहले किया जाना चाहिए।
  • इसलिए, वाक्य के Part (B) में  'bear never' का उपयोग 'never bear' के साथ प्रतिस्थापित किया जाना चाहिए, इसे व्याकरणिक रूप से सही बनाने के लिए।

Question 484

MP Forest Guard 2026• Test

In a linear race of 500 m, A can beat B by 50 m and in a race of 600 m, B can beat C by 60 m. By how many metres will A beat C in a race of 400 m?

    70

  2. BOption (b)

    68

  3. COption (c)

    76

  4. DOption (d)

    72

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

76

Why this answer is correct

Given:

A can beat B by 50 m in a race of 500m.

B can beat C by 60 m in a race of 600m.

Concept used:

If A is at 500 m then 

B = 500 - 50

B = 450m

A : B = 500 : 450

         = 10 : 9            {i}

In race of 600 m 

If B is at 600m then

C = 600 - 60

C = 540

B : C = 600 :540

         = 10 : 9            {ii}

Calculations:

 Now keeping the ratio of B constant  in both equations {i} and {ii}

  A : B = (10 : 9 ) × 40

          =  400 : 360

  B : C = (10 : 9)  × 36

           = 360 : 324

 Now,

 A : B : C = 400 : 360 : 324

 A will beats C by

 400 - 324 = 76

∴ A beat C by 76 m  in race of 400 m.

    उध्दरण चिन्ह

  4. DOption (d)

    पूर्ण विराम

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

पूर्ण विराम

Why this answer is correct

दिए गए विकल्पों में से सही उत्तर विकल्प 4 'पूर्ण विराम’ है। अन्य विकल्प इसके गलत उत्तर हैं। 

  • जहाँ वाक्य की गति अन्तिम रूप ले ले, विचार के तार टूट जाएँ, वहाँ 'पूर्ण विराम' चिह्न का प्रयोग किया जाता हैं l
  • किसी वाक्य के अंत में पूर्ण विराम चिह्न लगाने का अर्थ होता है कि वह वाक्य खत्म हो गया है।
  • पूर्ण विराम (।) का प्रयोग प्रश्नसूचक और विस्मयादि सूचक वाक्यों को छोड़कर बाकि सभी प्रकार के वाक्यों के अंत में किया जाता है।

अन्य विकल्प: 

  1. योजक - योजक चिह्न दो शब्दों के बीच मे आकर जोड़ने का काम करता है।
  2. अल्पविराम - अल्प विराम का अर्थ है थोड़े समय के लिए ठहरना। वाक्य में जहाँ बहुत ही कम ठहराव होता है, वहाँ अल्प विराम का प्रयोग होता है। इस चिह्न का प्रयोग सर्वाधिक होता है।
  3. उध्दरण चिन्ह - यह दो प्रकार के होते हैं। जहाँ किसी पुस्तक से कोई वाक्य ज्यों का त्यों उद्धरित किया जाये, वहाँ दोहरे उद्धरण चिह्न का प्रयोग होता है तथा जहाँ कोई विशेष शब्द, पद, वाक्य खण्ड इत्यादि उद्धरित किये जाये, वहाँ इकहरे उद्धरित चिह्न का प्रयोग किया जाता है।

Question 488

MP Forest Guard 2026• Test

Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select 'No improvement required'.

Not everything that happen in natures is due to global warming alone.

  1. AOption (a)

    that happening on nature

  2. BOption (b)

    which happens in natures

  3. COption (c)

    No improvement required

  4. DOption (d)

    that happens in nature

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

that happens in nature

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is: that happens in nature.

Key Points

  • The original sentence is grammatically incorrect because ""natures"" should be singular ""nature"". Option 4 corrects this error by using the singular form ""nature"" and the correct verb tense ""happens"".
  • Option 1 is incorrect because ""happening"" is a gerund and cannot be used as the subject of the sentence.
  • Option 2 is incorrect because ""natures"" is still plural and the incorrect verb tense ""happens"" is used.
  • Option 3 is incorrect because the original sentence contains a grammatical error.

Hence, the corrected form of the sentence is: Not everything that happens in nature is due to global warming alone.

Question 489

MP Forest Guard 2026• Test

Find the value of 'x' in the following 53x ÷ 54x = 5416\sqrt[4]{5}^{16}

  1. AOption (a)

    -4

  2. BOption (b)

    6

  3. COption (c)

    -2

  4. DOption (d)

    8

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

-4

Why this answer is correct

Given:

53x ÷ 54x = 5416\sqrt[4]{5}^{16}

Calculation:

53x ÷ 54x = 5416\sqrt[4]{5}^{16}

⇒ 5(3x - 4x) = (516)1/4

⇒  5(-x) = 516 × 1/4

⇒  5(-x) = 54

On equating, we get

  • x = 4

⇒ x = -4

∴ The value of x is -4.

Question 490

MP Forest Guard 2026• Test

Which are the two colors that are formed at the two extreme ends of Prism?

  1. AOption (a)

    Blue and Green

  2. BOption (b)

    Yellow and Orange

  3. COption (c)

    Red and Orange

  4. DOption (d)

    Violet and Red

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

Violet and Red

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is Violet and Red.

Key Points

  • White light comprises all colors of the VIBGYOR i.e. Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red.
  • When we optically combine these colors we get white light.
  • The wavelength of light defines the color of the light and in VIBGYOR, wavelength increases from left to right.
  • That means Violet color has minimum wavelength while Red color has a maximum wavelength.
  • Prism is a triangular slab of transparent glass through which light can pass.
  • But before going into prism we must remember that when light passes from one medium to another, it undergoes refraction.
  • Refraction is the phenomenon of bending of light when it travels from one medium to another.
  • Now the amount of bending of light depends on the wavelength of light.
  • The smaller the wavelength of light, the greater is its bending when it passes from one medium to another.
  • That is, we can say that the amount of bending of light is inversely proportional to the wavelength of light.
  • This property of light leads to the splitting of different colors of light when passed through a prism as shown in the figure.
  • Violet bends the most because it has a shorter wavelength compared to other colors and the red color bends the least and can be seen at the end opposite to the base of the prism. Hence, Option 4 is correct.
