  Model Questions
  Directions (Q. No. 1-10): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
  A particular accelerator accelerates subatomic particles and produces collisions between them. The collisions lead to different types of nuclear radiation. The acceleration of the particles is achieved through electromagnetic waves inside the accelerator. Scientists believe that the faster and more energetic these collisions are, the more is revealed about the structure of the matter.
 
  There are two basic types of accelerators - linear and circular. In a linear accelerator the particles move in a straight path in vacuum in a long copper tube and collide with a target. The waves which accelerate the particle are generated by klystrons. Electromagnets confine the particles in a narrow beam. Detectors record the energy released by the collision. There is a famous linear accelerator in California. It is around 3 km long. Linear accelerators are also known as linacs.
 
  The circular accelerator also does the same job but the particle moves in a circular track many times and gains tremendous speed. In each circuit its speed increases. It also uses klystrons and electromagnets. When the particle reaches its highest energy or the desired level of energy, a target is placed in its path. Circular accelerators are also called cyclotrons. The first cyclotron was only four inches in diameter but the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois is situated in almost twenty five square kilometers.

 Fill in the blanks is a relatively easy section. In this section the candidate is supposed to know the meaning of the word in order to use it properly. One or two words are omitted from the sentence. Options are given below and the candidate has to choose from the five options the word or pair of words. When it is inserted into the blanks it should give a complete meaning to the sentence in such a way that it is clear logically, literally and grammatically. In terms of words that are to be filled, the candidate is expected to have knowledge in the following areas:
 1.    Preposition based- this is an important aspect- as in our earlier session we have studied in detail about the usage of prepositions, recollect them and place the right word by memorizing the tips we have studied earlier.
     Ex: We met ____ the park.
     1) in     2) at    3) on
     4) to    5) from
     The correct option is 'at', the answer is 2)

     Ex: She is ____ most intelligent of all the candidates in the class.
     1) A    2) an    3) the
     4) or    5) no article
     The definite article 'the' should be used here; article is used before the adjective in the superlative degree of comparison. The answer is 3)
 3.    Phrase/ idiom based- to have an understanding of the phrase/idiom that is given is the first task and the next task is to see that out of the five options given which option best fits aptly in the given blank/blanks to make a complete sense.

     Answer - (a) The most suitable answer option is 'Meretricious' which means 'bold'. Rest of the options does not fit in the context of dressing style or manner.
 2.    Double blank questions- Two blanks are given, these are easier to answer as you can use elimination technique- as soon as you answer one blank you can eliminate a few answer choices which makes the selection easier.
     Like any another section, to answer the questions from this section with ease, the candidate is expected to enhance their reading skills. Inculcate a general reading habit which is very useful. This helps in identifying the word/ words that are most appropriate to the sentence. Basic knowledge of grammar is however essential. Let us see a few tips to answer this section:
