• Hence from the meanings and examples given above, the 3rd option is the correct choice.
   

Correct Sentence: They are all together​ in the hall for the class.

The correct answer is 'right'.

Key Points

• The most appropriate adverb to fill in the given blank is 'right'.
• It means 'exactly; directly'. (एकदम ठीक; एकदम सीधे)
  • Example: The train was right on time.
• The phrase 'right in the eye' means 'directly in the eye'.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.
   

Correct Sentence: The cricket ball hit Pataudi right in the eye.

The correct answer is 'enthusiastically'.

 Key Points

• As in the given sentence, we are talking about the children who are displaying their exhibits enthusiastically before the parents on the Annual Day.
• Here, in the blank, we have to use the word i.e qualifying the verb displayed, and enthusiastically should be the appropriate option to be chosen for filling the blank as it is an adverb which is modifying the verb displayed.
• Enthuse is a verb which is used to express eager enjoyment, interest, or approval regarding something.
• Enthusiasm is a noun which means intense and eager enjoyment, interest, or approval.
• Enthusiast is a noun which means a person who is very interested in a particular activity or subject.

Key Points

• Let's look at the meaning of the words given in the options:

  Word	Meaning
  faultlessly	in a way that is perfect or without mistakes. (एक तरह से जो एकदम सही है या गलतियों के बिना)
  heavy	weighing a lot, and needing effort to move or lift. (अधिक वज़नदार)
  clear	certain, having no doubt, or obvious. (निश्चित, जिसमें कोई संदेह न हो)
  able	to have the necessary physical strength, mental power, skill, time, money, or opportunity to do something. (योग्य)

Complete Sentence: They supplied the required human resource faultlessly.

The correct answer is 'as'.

Key Points

• The most appropriate word for the given blank is 'as'.
• After the blank 'per' is used. Thus, 'as' can be the only coherent answer.
• The phrase 'as per' means 'in accordance with'. (के अनुसार)
  • Example: made as per instructions...
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.
   

Correct Sentence: He said the cooperative will continue to invest as per its usual yearly rate.

The correct answer is option 2) i.e. too.

Explanation

• The box is very heavy (which is a statement of fact) but we cannot say, “The box is very heavy for the boy to carry."
• Because when we add the qualifier “for the boy to carry,” we must use “too” instead of “very”.
• The box is too heavy for the boy to carry (which is a statement of opinion).
• The use of the words "enough and much" is not grammatically and contextually correct as the word 'heavy' is acting as an adjective in the sentence and therefore an adverb is to be used before the adjective 'heavy'.
• Hence, the appropriate word is 'too'.

• Too is an adverb. It is used before adjectives without nouns and before adverbs.
• Too is not normally used before adjective + noun. For example,
  • Correct: I could not lift the bag because it was too heavy. (too+adjective)
  • Incorrect: I could not lift the too heavy bag. (too+adjective+noun)
     

Correct Sentence: The box was too heavy for that little child to carry.

The correct answer is - unless.

Key Points

• ​Until is used in the context of time and roughly means before and up to the time.
• Unless is used in the context of a precondition and means if this condition is not met.
• For example:
  • You can't get a job until you have experience.
  • You can't get a job unless you have experience.
• As per the context of the given sentence, a person's intelligence would be appreciated only under a certain condition.
• Hence, in the blank part of the given question, 'unless' will be the correct choice.
   

Correct Sentence: Sometimes a person's intelligence is not fully appreciated unless he/she gets an opportunity.​​​​Additional Information  ​

• The clause followed by unless/until is always positive as unless and until are negative conjunctions.
• Example:
  • ​I shall not go to the party unless they don't invite me. (incorrect)
  • I shall not go to the party unless they invite me. (correct)

The correct answer is Option 2) i.e fast enough.

 We use the positive degree of adjective/adverb before 'enough'.

• For example:
  • ​Jaggi runs fastest enough to win the race.
  • ​​​Jaggi runs fast enough to win the race.
• ​​Hence according to the given rule, we will use 'fast enough' the blank part.

Let's look at the meaning of the vocabulary given in the sentence:

• Goods- things to be transported, as distinct from passengers.

Correct sentence- "The passenger-train was fast enough to overtake the goods train going in the same direction."

The correct answer is: quickly.

Key Points

• The correct adverb to be used here is quickly.
• Quickly is an adverb of manner.
• Adverbs of manner are used in sentences to give the listener or reader additional information about the action being performed by the sentence's subject.
• It is usually identified by asking the question 'how'.
• Example:
  • ​We are waiting eagerly for our chance.
• The sentence describes Nitha's ability to assemble the students of her class, and using the adverb "quickly" suggests that she can do so in a fast or efficient manner.
  • Example sentence: Nitha can assemble the students of her class quickly in case of an emergency drill.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.​
   

Therefore, the correct sentence will be: Nitha can assemble the students of her class quickly.

Additional Information

• Option 1 ("perfect") is an adjective and cannot be used to modify the verb "assemble" in the sentence.
• Option 2 ("distract") is also incorrect because it would suggest that Nitha is able to assemble the students in a way that distracts them, which does not fit the context of the sentence.
• Option 3 ("slow") is the opposite of what is suggested by the context of the sentence, which implies that Nitha is able to assemble the students quickly.
