Excellent job vinnet....

I have a query... For Q8, i was confused betn A and E... plz let me know why E is incorrect

8. Though he claimed the business was ..............., his irritability ............... that claim.
(A) sound . . belied
(B) expanding . . supported
(C) downsizing . . vindicated
(D) static . . contradicted
(E) booming. . affirmed

[the assasin]

The clue in the 8th one is though which indicates that you are looking for a contrast... booming and affirmed do not signify contrast...

Yaar , see ......both the words have to be opposite in meaning to each other ..In addition to that second word has to present a negative feeling .....

Hence (A) option is the only probability ....

In option(E) , both ur words are positive .....

See there is no connection between a comedian and a leading role player ...

e.g., Govinda plays leading roles in all his films ,but his role is that of comedian ..

Hence u cant assume that a comedian is always a supporting actor ....


Also comedy is one of the fields of acting ...definitely Drama is another and hence the answer .....

Hope its clear now ...!!
