Option 2: blast

Option 3: silence

Option 4: blackout

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: silence


Solution : The correct option is the third option.

Silence fits contextually, indicating that the loud, echoing crack disrupted the calm or quietness of the surroundings, much like a gunshot wound. The passage sets up a contrast between the quietness or calmness ('silence') of the surroundings and the sudden disruption caused by the loud, echoing crack.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Lull refers to a temporary interval of quietness or calm.
  • A blast denotes a sudden, loud sound.
  • A blackout refers to a loss of electricity or consciousness.

Therefore, the correct answer is silence.

Question:
Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank No. 4.

Option 1: heart

Option 2: china

Option 3: atrocity

Option 4: tyre

Team Careers360 25th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: china


Solution : The correct option is the second option.

China refers to fine porcelain or ceramic ware that is typically fragile and easily breakable. Given the context of a loud noise followed by breaking sounds, "china" fits well, implying that something fragile like a piece of ceramic or porcelain was broken.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Heart: The organ that pumps blood in the body.
  • Atrocity: A brutal or cruel act.
  • Tyre: The rubber covering the wheel of a vehicle.

Therefore, the correct answer is china.

Hello aspirant,

Regarding CAT admission, a personal interview is a one-on-one, in-person conversation between an interviewee and a team of staff known as the interviewer. One important instrument that colleges employ to assess applicants' ability is the CAT Personal Interview. During a face-to-face interview, the interviewer or panel closely observes not just the participants' spoken comments but also their indicated behaviour.
