English is the language of opportunities because it takes one outside one's own community to places for professional and economic growth.

The correct answer is comma. The sentence is a run-on sentence, as it combines two independent clauses without proper punctuation. Adding a comma after "Rima" helps to separate the two clauses and make the sentence grammatically correct.

In order to achieve success, it is necessary to put in effort and work hard. Without hard work, success cannot be attained.

The correct answer is "has changed". This is because the sentence is referring to a change that happened in the past and is still relevant in the present. The use of "has" indicates that the action of changing occurred at some point before now and has an ongoing impact.

The word "till" is the correct option to fill the blank. It indicates that he took care of her until the point when she was restored to health.

The correct answer is "in, at". In this sentence, "in" is used to indicate the city or location where someone lives, so it is appropriate to say "lives in Bengaluru". "At" is used to indicate a specific address or location, so it is appropriate to say "115, Richmond Road". Therefore, the correct pair of words to fill in the blanks is "in, at".

The correct answer is "You will have to take back what you have said." This idiomatic phrase means that if you say something that you later regret or that turns out to be false, you will be forced to retract or apologize for your words.

The word "likely" means probable or expected to happen. In the given sentence, it implies that it is probable or expected for all of us to be mistaken at times. This makes "likely" the most suitable option to complete the sentence.

The correct answer is inverted commas. In the given sentence, "Part of Australia is known to the natives as The Outback," inverted commas are missing. Inverted commas are used to indicate that a word or phrase is being referred to as a specific term or nickname. In this case, "The Outback" is a nickname for a specific region in Australia. Adding inverted commas would clarify that it is a term used by the natives.

The correct answer is if the second sentence is correct.

The second sentence "Recently I read in the newspaper about a unique wedding that took place" is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning clearly. The first sentence "Recently I read about a unique wedding that took place in the newspaper" is grammatically incorrect because it places the prepositional phrase "in the newspaper" in an awkward position.

The word "perturb" means to disturb or unsettle someone or something. The option "disturb greatly" is the closest in meaning to "perturb" as it conveys the idea of causing a significant disturbance or disruption. "Turn around" and "compatible" do not accurately capture the meaning of "perturb", and "stipulate" is unrelated to the concept of disturbance.

The figure of speech in the given sentence is personification. This is because death is being described as laying his icy hand on kings, which is a human-like action attributed to an abstract concept. Personification is a figure of speech in which human qualities are given to non-human things.

The correct answer is "If you had taken care you wouldn't have got typhoid." This answer is correct because it uses the correct verb tense to convey the meaning of a hypothetical past action. The phrase "had taken care" is in the past perfect tense, indicating that the action of taking care should have been done before the occurrence of getting typhoid. This construction accurately portrays the cause-and-effect relationship between not taking care and getting typhoid.

The given sentence is grammatically correct and does not contain any errors.

The given answer suggests that if error is considered as a general term for any kind of wrongdoing or incorrectness, then fault can be seen as a specific type of error that refers to a defect or flaw.

The word "veracious" means truthful or honest. Therefore, the word closest in meaning to "veracious" is "truthful".

The error in this sentence is in the segment "make the breakfast". The correct form should be "makes the breakfast" because the subject "Idli and Sambar" is treated as a singular noun and requires a singular verb.

The passage states that when we are in an emotional situation that takes us out of the present and into the past, we may find ourselves behaving like a three-year-old. This implies that we feel childish and behave childishly in such situations. Therefore, the statement "We feel childish and we behave childishly" is correct. The passage does not mention anything about the process of change needing to be traumatic, so the statement "The process of change needs to be traumatic" is incorrect.

The phrase "aurally challenged" is a euphemism for the word "deaf". A euphemism is a mild or indirect word or expression used to refer to something that may be considered too harsh or offensive. In this case, "aurally challenged" is used as a more polite and sensitive way to describe someone who is unable to hear.

The phrase "ruled his subjects with a high hand" implies that the king ruled in a harsh and authoritarian manner, exerting excessive control and suppressing the freedom and rights of his subjects. Therefore, the word that is closest in meaning to this phrase is "oppressively," as it conveys the idea of ruling with cruelty and tyranny.

The underlined word "whom" is used appropriately in the sentence "Does he know whom to call about the hotel reservations?" This is because "whom" is used as the object of the verb "to call" in this sentence.

The passage explains that in the early years of a child's life, intense emotions such as shock, violence, fear, or pain can be deeply imprinted into memory. These emotional situations can cause individuals to revert back to the past and behave in ways that are similar to their childhood selves. This suggests that the "Frozen Feelings" being talked about refer to childhood learning patterns, as these patterns can influence an individual's behavior and emotions in the present.

The correct answer is 1-8, 2-5, 3-6, 4-7. In the sentence "The fire engine came rushing down the hill," "down" is used as an adverb to describe the direction of the action. In the sentence "He has seen the ups and downs of life," "downs" is used as a noun to refer to the negative aspects or difficult times. In the sentence "Down with the tyrant!" "down" is used as a preposition to indicate opposition or hostility. In the sentence "The porter was hit by the down train," "down" is used as an adjective to describe the train as moving in a downward direction.

The man has flouted the rules of ethical conduct; he is virtually a beast.

The word "mean" is the opposite of "magnanimous" and "benevolent" as it suggests a lack of kindness, generosity, and compassion. In the given sentence, the person's magnanimity and benevolence led them to give to charity, which is the opposite of being mean.

The word "dissipate" is spelled correctly. It means to scatter or disperse, usually referring to the dissipation of energy or emotions.

The passage explains that intense emotions, such as shock, violence, fear, or pain, experienced in the early years of a child's life can be deeply imprinted into memory. These emotions can cause individuals to return to the past whenever they experience similar emotions later in life, leading them to behave and feel like a younger version of themselves. This glitch in the learning process is caused by these uneasy emotions. Therefore, the correct answer is "uneasy emotions".

The word "Dias" is spelled incorrectly. The correct spelling is "Diaz."

The words "ephemeral," "transient," and "eternal" all describe the concept of time or duration, while "temporal" refers to something related to time. Therefore, "temporal" is the odd one out as it is the only word that does not directly describe the concept of time or duration.

The correct answer is "into". The word "intra" is a prefix that means "within" or "inside," typically used in medical terminology. On the other hand, the word "inter" is a prefix that means "between" or "among." Given this information, it can be inferred that "intra" is the opposite of "inter" and would have a different meaning. Therefore, the most appropriate option that contrasts with "between" is "into," which indicates movement or transition from the outside to the inside of something.

The correct answer is 2, 3. Both sentences 2 and 3 express curiosity or uncertainty about whether or not someone checked the tickets. Sentence 2 uses the phrase "I wonder" to convey this uncertainty, while sentence 3 uses the phrase "I want to know" to express a desire for information. Both sentences imply that the speaker is questioning whether or not the tickets were checked.

The word "biannual" means occurring twice a year. Therefore, the word that is opposed to its meaning would be "every year", as it implies an event happening once a year.

Both sentences are correct. In the first sentence, "his forgetting his own birthday" is a gerund phrase acting as the direct object of the verb "imagine." In the second sentence, "him forgetting his own birthday" is a pronoun (object form) followed by a gerund phrase acting as the direct object of the verb "imagine." The difference in construction does not affect the correctness of the sentences.
