Sol. The correct word to replace the highlighted word in (1) is “tariff”. The sentence thus formed is, “Power (1) tariff hike has become par for the course in Punjab, unless elections are around the corner”.
Sol. The correct word to replace the highlighted word in (2) is “consumers”. The sentence thus formed is, “With the next Assembly elections over two years away, the state government has conveniently decided to make domestic as well as industrial (2) consumers pay even more in 2020”.
Sol. The correct word to replace the highlighted word in (3) is “brunt”. The sentence thus formed is, “Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) has been bearing the (3) brunt of successive governments’ populist commitment of providing free power to farmers, a key vote bank no political party wants to displease”.
Bearing the brunt means: to suffer the main part or force of it.
Sol. The correct word to replace the highlighted word in (4) is “subsidy”. The sentence thus formed is, “The Chief Justice had observed that (4) subsidy should be only for the needy, but its burden inevitably fell on the taxpayers”.
Sol. The correct word to replace the highlighted word in (5) is “affluent”. The sentence thus formed is, “Most of the (5) affluent farmers, which include some influential politicians, have only paid lip service to giving up subsidy on their own”.
Sol. In the last part of the sentence ‘are’ will be replaced by ‘were’. The usage of ‘used to’ clarifies that the sentence is in past tense. This makes our correct answer choice option (d) our answer.
S7. Ans. (c)
Sol. In the third part of the sentence, the word ‘run’ will be replaced by ‘running’ as the two verb have same verb form when joined with the conjunction.
Sol. In the second part of the sentence, we will use ‘as’ before ‘to’. This will make the sentence grammatically correct. The structure of the sentence is ‘so as’.
Sol. In the second part of the sentence we will use ‘on/at’ after firing. This makes the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
Sol. In the last part of the sentence, the word ‘bad’ is incorrect as it is an adjective but here we need an adverb. So we will replace ‘badly’. This makes our correct answer choice option (d).
