Puys, I heard from a lot of people that they were unable to download the files that I have attached with my post #118. Well, for the wikipedia article, all you have to do is type "Indian English" in the search box in Wikipedia. This article is no way related to CAT but it talks about several mistakes that Indians often make and hence we should all read it, especially its later part.
As for the two word docs that I attached, I urge puys to try downloading them again. I am sure that the files are virus free and that I had attached them correctly. However, if you are still unable to download them, please pm me saying so and also send me your e-mail id. I will wait till Wednesday night and then I shall mail all those puys, sending the files as an attachment.

“Sensuous” implies ‘gratification of the senses for the sake of aesthetic pleasure’; the sensuous delights of great music. “Sensual” tends to imply ‘the gratification of the senses or the indulgence of the physical appetites as ends in themselves’. “Sensual” would be apt in the context of the sentence. Therefore, options 2 and 5 are eliminated.
“ Luxurious” suggests the ‘providing of or indulgence of sensuous pleasure inducing bodily ease and languor’; a luxurious hotel. “Voluptuous” implies ‘more strongly abandonment especially to sensual pleasure’; a voluptuous feast. Therefore, option 1 is eliminated since “voluptuous” is the apt word in this context.
“Veracious” is ‘truthful, honest or accurate’. “Voracious” means ‘ravenous or having a huge appetite’ and is the correct word in this context.
‘Ternary’ is ‘based on the number three’. ‘Tertiary’ means ‘third in place, order, degree, or rank’. Here, we want to express a number system based on the number three. Therefore, option 3 is eliminated.
“Premier” (adj) means ‘first in rank’ and is the correct word contextually. “Premiere” as a noun means ‘first performance’. “Premiere” is not an adjective.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
