Hospitality
(A) Complaint
(B) Cordiality
(C) Coldness
(D) Wrathful
Correct Answer : C
Explanation :
The most appropriate antonym for "hospitality" is "coldness." Hospitality refers to the warm and friendly reception and treatment of guests, so "coldness," which implies a lack of warmth or friendliness, serves as the opposite. The other options— "complaint" (a statement expressing dissatisfaction or annoyance), "cordiality" (warmth and friendliness), and "wrathful" (full of or characterized by intense anger)— do not convey the opposite meaning of "hospitality" in this context.
Select the most appropriate ANTONYM of the given word.
Rebellion
(A) Uprising
(B) Loyalty
(C) Sedition
(D) Allotment
Correct Answer : B
Explanation :
The most appropriate antonym for "rebellion" is "loyalty." Rebellion involves resisting or opposing authority, while loyalty implies faithfulness and allegiance to a person, group, or cause. The other options— "uprising" (an act of resistance or rebellion), "sedition" (incitement to rebellion), and "allotment" (the action of allotting or assigning something)— are either synonyms or closely related to the concept of rebellion.

Pintu has been advised to reduce smoking by his family doctor.
(A) cut down
(B) less down
(C) lower down
(D) up down
Correct Answer : A
Explanation :
In the given sentence, "Pintu has been advised to reduce smoking by his family doctor," the word "advised" is used correctly and does not require substitution.
Explanation:
Pintu has been advised: This part of the sentence indicates that someone (in this case, Pintu's family doctor) gave advice or recommendations to Pintu. "Advised" is the past participle form of the verb "advise," used in passive voice.
to reduce smoking: This infinitive phrase clarifies the advice given to Pintu. He has been advised to reduce his smoking habit, meaning he should smoke less or quit smoking altogether.
by his family doctor: This prepositional phrase tells us who gave the advice, specifying that it was Pintu's family doctor. The preposition "by" indicates the source or origin of the advice.
The sentence conveys the idea that Pintu received advice from his family doctor to cut down on smoking, and the structure of the sentence is correct and clear.
Select the sentence with the appropriate use of adverb of manner.
(A) He done his work regularly.
(B) He has just done his work.
