Verification of Truth of the Statement Questions and Answers

Answer: D

Correct answer: Roots

The question asks what is always present, not what usually is. A tree is anchored and fed through its roots. Leaves are shed in season, many trees never flower conspicuously, and most bear no fruit.

Answer: C

Correct answer: A subject represented

The question asks what is always present, not what usually is. A picture is a visual representation of something, so a subject - whatever it depicts, even if abstract in treatment - is what makes it one. A frame is added for display and is no part of the picture; a canvas unframed is still a picture. Colours are absent from a pencil drawing or an engraving. A signature identifies the artist and is missing from a great deal of art, including almost everything anonymous or ancient.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Bat

The question asks what is always present, not what usually is. Cricket is played by striking the ball with a bat. Stumps and a marked pitch belong to the formal game, and gloves are worn by only some of the players.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Instincts

The question asks what is always present, not what usually is. Every animal has instincts - inborn patterns of behaviour that need no learning. Eyes are absent in some, four legs in most, and horns in all but a few.

Answer: A

The error lies in part (1).

As the phrase 'as much as' needs to be replaced with 'much as I'. Tis is because we use 'as much as' for comparing two qualities or things. But here in the given sentence a contrast is given in the latter part of the sentence. So we need a conjunction like 'even though' 'although' etc...

'Much as I' also serves the same purpose.

Answer: A

Correct answer: A way of indicating time

The question asks what is always present, not what usually is. A watch is a small timepiece, so a means of indicating time is its essential property. A strap is one way of carrying a watch; a pocket watch has a chain and no strap at all. A battery powers quartz watches, but mechanical watches are wound and automatic ones are driven by the wearer’s motion. A glass face protects the dial, and a digital watch may use plastic or a screen instead.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Unrest

The question asks what is always present, not what usually is. To worry is to be mentally disturbed, so unrest of mind is worry itself. One may worry over nothing difficult at all; non-cooperation and poignancy are unrelated.

Answer: D

Correct answer: Questions

The question asks what is always present, not what usually is. An examination tests knowledge or ability, and it does so by putting questions - so questions are what it cannot lack. A time limit is usual but not universal; some take-home and practical assessments have none. An invigilator supervises a formal written examination and is absent from an oral examination or a supervised practical. And written answers exclude the whole class of oral, practical and viva examinations, which are examinations nonetheless.

Answer: A

Correct answer: Lens

The question asks what is always present, not what usually is. A camera forms an image, and only a lens can do that. Reels belong to film cameras, the flash is an accessory, and the photograph is the result rather than a part.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Plants

The question asks what is always present, not what usually is. A garden is a piece of ground cultivated with growing things, so plants are what make it one. Flowers are the tempting answer, but a vegetable garden, a herb garden or a garden of shrubs and grasses has none. A fence marks a boundary but is not part of the definition; many gardens are open. And a gardener is a person who tends a garden - an abandoned garden that has run wild is still recognisably a garden, and has no gardener at all.
