Question 311

SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) 2025• English Comprehension• English Comprehension

Change the following from active to passive:

The team will revise the algorithms during the workshop.

  1. AOption (a)

    The algorithms were being revised during the workshop.

  2. BOption (b)

    The algorithms will be revising during the workshop.

  3. COption (c)

    The algorithms will be revised during the workshop.

  4. DOption (d)

    The algorithms will have been revised during the workshop.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

The algorithms will be revised during the workshop.

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is Option 3.

 

Key Points

  • Passive voice structure: The object of the active voice sentence becomes the subject of the passive voice sentence.
  • In the active voice, the sentence is: "The team will revise the algorithms during the workshop."
  • To convert it into passive voice, the object "the algorithms" is placed at the beginning of the sentence.
  • The verb phrase "will revise" changes into "will be revised" (future simple passive form).
  • The remaining part of the sentence "during the workshop" remains unchanged.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

 

Correct Sentence: "The algorithms will be revised during the workshop."

 

Additional Information

  • Option 1: "The algorithms were being revised during the workshop." – Incorrect because it changes the tense from future simple to past continuous passive.
  • Option 2: "The algorithms will be revising during the workshop." – Incorrect because the subject "algorithms" cannot perform the action of revising.
  • Option 4: "The algorithms will have been revised during the workshop." – Incorrect because it changes the tense to future perfect passive, which does not match the original sentence.

Question 312

SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) 2025• English Comprehension• English Comprehension

Find the part of the sentence that contains an error:

Not only the minister but also the bureaucrats (1)/ has been accused of manipulating (2)/ the data presented in the economic survey (3)/ to align with political interests. (4)

  1. AOption (a)

    1

  2. BOption (b)

    2

  3. COption (c)

    3

  4. DOption (d)

    4

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

2

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is '2' i.e. 'has been accused' contains the error .

Key Points

  • The sentence uses the correlative conjunction "Not only... but also." When this conjunction is used, the verb must agree with the subject closest to it.
  • Here, the subject closest to the verb "has been accused" is "bureaucrats," which is plural.
  • Therefore, the verb should be "have been accused" instead of "has been accused."

Correct sentence: Not only the minister but also the bureaucrats have been accused of manipulating the data presented in the economic survey to align with political interests.

Additional Information

  • Subject-Verb Agreement: The verb must always agree in number with the subject.
  • Correlative Conjunctions: When using "Not only... but also," the verb agrees with the subject closest to it.
  • Plural Subjects: Words like "bureaucrats" take plural verbs such as "have."

Question 313

SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) 2025• English Comprehension• English Comprehension

Select the sentence containing the homonym of the highlighted word:

The architect discussed the vault beneath the cathedral.

  1. AOption (a)

    The gymnast performed a perfect vault over the horse.

  2. BOption (b)

    The treasury vault was secured with biometric locks.

  3. COption (c)

    The earthquake cracked the stone vault supporting the nave.

  4. DOption (d)

    The nobles were interred in the family vault.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

The gymnast performed a perfect vault over the horse.

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is '1' i.e. The gymnast performed a perfect vault over the horse .

Key Points

  • The word "vault" is a homonym, meaning it has multiple meanings but the same spelling and pronunciation.
  • In the given sentence, "vault" refers to the arched structure beneath the cathedral.
  • Option 1 uses the word "vault" in a different context, referring to a physical leap or jump performed by the gymnast.
  • Other options (2, 3, and 4) use the word "vault" in the same or similar sense as the original sentence, referring to structures or secure spaces.

Correct sentence: The gymnast performed a perfect vault over the horse.

Additional Information

  • Homonyms:
  • Homonyms are words that have the same spelling and pronunciation but different meanings.
  • For example, the word "bat" can mean a flying mammal or a piece of equipment used in sports like baseball or cricket.
  • Contextual Usage:
  • To identify the correct homonym, it is essential to understand the context of the sentence.
  • In this case, the sentence involving the gymnast introduces a different and unrelated meaning of the word "vault" as compared to the original sentence.

Question 314

SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) 2025• English Comprehension• English Comprehension

Convert the sentence provided below from its passive voice structure to an active voice structure:

The children were made to apologize by the principal for their behavior.

  1. AOption (a)

    The principal was made to apologize to the children.

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

The principal made the children apologize for their behavior.

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is '3' i.e. The principal made the children apologize for their behavior. .

Key Points

  • The question asks for the conversion of a sentence from passive voice to active voice.
  • The given sentence, "The children were made to apologize by the principal for their behavior," is in the passive voice.
  • In the active voice, the subject (the principal) performs the action, and the sentence becomes: "The principal made the children apologize for their behavior."
  • Option 3 correctly reflects this conversion.

Correct sentence: The principal made the children apologize for their behavior.

Additional Information

  • Passive Voice:
  • Structure: Object + was/were + past participle + by + subject.
  • Example: The book was read by the student.
  • Usage: Focuses on the action rather than the doer.
  • Active Voice:
  • Structure: Subject + verb + object.
  • Example: The student read the book.
  • Usage: Focuses on the doer of the action.

Question 315

SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) 2025• English Comprehension• English Comprehension

Read the following passage and answer the questions based on the passage :

In the labyrinth of globalization, where intercontinental dialogues shape diplomacy, business, and social cohesion, the intricate terrain of cross-cultural communication remains one of the most formidable cognitive frontiers. Misunderstandings often arise not from lexical deficiencies but from semiotic dissonance—where gestures, silences, intonations, or proxemics are interpreted through incongruent cultural lenses. The assumption that language fluency equates to communicative efficacy is a pernicious fallacy; in reality, fluency may obfuscate cultural asymmetries, allowing misinterpretation to masquerade as comprehension. In high-context cultures—such as Japan or the Arab world—communication is embedded in relational nuance, tacit implications, and communal hierarchies. Conversely, low-context cultures like Germany or the United States prioritize explicitness, objectivity, and individual clarity. When interlocutors from these paradigms converge, the mismatch can generate diplomatic friction, transactional inefficiency, or interpersonal alienation. Even seemingly innocuous behaviors—eye contact, turn-taking, or humor—can catalyze discomfort when interpreted through a monocultural lens. Furthermore, the cognitive filters individuals deploy—shaped by education, tradition, and sociopolitical conditioning—often reinforce in-group validation while relegating unfamiliar communication styles to categories of deviance or incompetence. This ethnocentric predisposition exacerbates stereotyping, reduces empathetic bandwidth, and curtails the potential for collaborative synergy. Technology, while ostensibly bridging geographic divides, further complicates intercultural interaction. Emojis, for instance, are semantically fluid; a single icon may evoke warmth in one culture and sarcasm in another. Algorithmic translation, lacking context-sensitivity, risks converting diplomatic nuance into semantic absurdity. Even video conferencing flattens paralinguistic cues vital to cross-cultural understanding. Ultimately, transcending these communicative chasms demands metacognitive vigilance, cultural humility, and dialogic adaptability. Effective intercultural communicators do not merely learn linguistic syntax but cultivate cultural empathy, interrogate their own perceptual frameworks, and develop a tolerance for ambiguity. It is within this cognitive dissonance that the richest intercultural growth unfolds—not through the elimination of difference, but through its embrace.

What is the tone of the passage?

  1. AOption (a)

    Didactic

  2. BOption (b)

    Celebratory

  3. COption (c)

    Analytical

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

 

Correct Sentence: "The assumption that language fluency equates to communicative efficacy is a pernicious fallacy; in reality, fluency may obfuscate cultural asymmetries, allowing misinterpretation to masquerade as comprehension."

 

Additional Information

  • Option 1: Technology enables cross-cultural empathy – The passage suggests technology complicates communication, not simplifies it.
  • Option 2: Emojis unify people emotionally across cultures – The passage states emojis can have different meanings across cultures.
  • Option 4: Humor is universally interpreted – The passage indicates humor can cause discomfort due to cultural differences.
  • Correct Option (3) – Clearly reflects the contradiction between fluency and understanding.

  • Thus, the metaphor of a labyrinth filled with shifting doors best captures the argument.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

 

Correct Sentence: "In the labyrinth of globalization... the intricate terrain of cross-cultural communication remains one of the most formidable cognitive frontiers."

 

Additional Information

  • Option 1: A bridge that never meets the other side – Suggests complete disconnection, whereas the passage emphasizes interaction despite challenges.
  • Option 2: A mirror reflecting only half the image – Implies partial understanding, but does not capture the dynamic complexity highlighted.
  • Option 4: A ladder leading to one clear peak – Suggests linear progress, which contradicts the passage’s emphasis on complexity and ambiguity.
  • Correct Option (3) – Accurately reflects the passage’s theme of complex, evolving, and multidimensional communication challenges.

Question 320

SSC Combined Graduate Level (CGL) 2025• English Comprehension• English Comprehension

Choose the most suitable option to replace the highlighted part of the sentence:

We enjoyed very much at the party.

  1. AOption (a)

    have enjoyed very much

  2. BOption (b)

    enjoyed ourselves very much

  3. COption (c)

    enjoyed at the party

  4. DOption (d)

    were enjoyed

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

enjoyed ourselves very much

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is '2' i.e. enjoyed ourselves very much .

Key Points

  • The sentence is incorrect because the verb "enjoyed" needs a reflexive pronoun (ourselves) to make the statement grammatically correct.
  • When describing enjoyment or actions that involve the subject themselves, reflexive pronouns (e.g., ourselves, himself, herself) are used.
  • The correct phrase should be "enjoyed ourselves very much" instead of "enjoyed very much".

Correct sentence: We enjoyed ourselves very much at the party.

Additional Information

  • Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and the object of the verb are the same.
  • Examples of reflexive pronouns include: myself, yourself, himself, herself, ourselves, themselves, etc.
  • Other incorrect options:
  • Option 1: "have enjoyed very much" – Incorrect as it misses the reflexive pronoun and doesn't fit in the past tense context.
  • Option 3: "enjoyed at the party" – Incorrect as it omits the reflexive pronoun and is incomplete.
  • Option 4: "were enjoyed" – Incorrect as "were enjoyed" is in the passive voice, which is not suitable here.
