Question:

DIRECTIONS: In the following passage, there are blanks, each of which has been numbered. Against each, five words/phrases are suggested, one of which fits the blank appropriately. Find out the most appropriate word in each case.


Honda is the largest producer of internal combustion engines. Last year, for example, it manufactured a colossal 29 million engines. Honda engines are light, smooth, efficient, and powerful, have bulletproof reliability …(1)… Honda also seems to be back …(2)… with its new direct-injection petrol engines, and cars like the super-efficient Accord Hybrid and the powerful NSX hybrid supercar. Diesel engines, however, are a different story. Honda only really got started with diesel recently, and its first engine …(3)…. So I’m not expecting much when I pick up the keys for a CR-V diesel. The 1.6-litre diesel engine isn’t likely to be a huge improvement over the 1.5 we have in India. The two engines share many parts, and this 1.6 is a mere 99cc larger. How much better can it be? And this new CR-V, with its larger seating capacity, it’s a huge 142kg heavier than the current car. The engine now puts out 160hp and not 120hp, as in Europe, and that’s a big step up.

Choose the correct option for …(1)….

Options:
A)

and are the happiest when spun fast   

B)

but they are happy as spun fast 

C)

is happiest when spun fast 

D)

so are happy to spun fast

E)

are being happy to spun fast

Solution:

Ans: (a) The correct answer choice is option (a). Out of the given choices, only option (a) is grammatically and contextually correct. Since the reference is to engines (plural noun), the right verb is ‘are’. Choice (b) is wrong as the sentence doesn’t indicate contrast. Option (c), (d) and (e) are grammatically incorrect and safely eliminated.
