1.Option 1 uses the verb run appropriately with fast as an adverb qualifying it.
The phrase, against the run of play is used in sports to describe an event or action against the flow of the
game. For example, if Soccer team A has all the possession, all the chances and dictates the game, and
team B has one chance and scores from it, then that goal is against the run of play. The term is used
correctly in option 2.
Option 3 is incorrect. A person cannot run over someone. It can be a vehicle that can run over someone.
A person can run after (chase) someone, run with, run up to or run around someone.
In option 4, a book can have a popular run, if a great number of copies of that book are getting sold.
In option 5, run-of-the-mill production is an average or mediocre or banal, commonplace
production that is not interesting. The usage here is correct.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
2.In option 1, firing a round of tear gas shells means a single discharge by one firearm and the word
round is correctly used.
The phrase, round the corner in option 2 means, nearby, a short distance away.
In option 3, the usage is correct. Merry-go-around is a carrousel in amusement parks, carnivals, etc. A
merry-go-round is a revolving, circular platform with wooden horses or other animals, benches, etc., on
which people may sit or ride, usually to the accompaniment of mechanical or recorded music.
In option 4, the usage on a hospital round is correct. This is used to signify that the doctor is surveying
the wards checking on patients. Come round in the fifth option means to change one's opinion, decision, especially to agree with another's. A better option would have been to come around to admitting it meaning to change one's
position or opinion.
Hence, the correct answer is option 5.
3.Beginning to buckle in option 1 indicates that their knees were ready to collapse or that they were
extremely tired.
Buckle is inappropriately used in option 2. The horse can break into a trot or a gallop. It may buck or it
may even break into somebodys garden, but not into a buckle.
Option 3 uses buckle in the sense of collapse or surrender.
In option 4, buckle again refers to bend or collapse, even break.
To buckle up, in option 5, means to fasten one's belt, seat belt, or buckles.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
4.File can be defined as a folder, cabinet, or other container in which papers, letters, etc., are arranged in
convenient order for storage or reference. Another definition is a collection of papers, records, etc.,
arranged in convenient order. Option 1 uses the word in this sense.
In option 2, to file means to apply. The usage is correct.
In option 3, file refers to a line of persons or things arranged one behind another. Marching in a single
file is similar to marching in a single column.
A file can even be a tool with ridges to smoothen or even out rough surfaces. Option 4 uses this
meaning.
There is no phrase or idiom broke the file as mentioned in option 5. A soldier can break rank but not a
file.
Hence, the correct answer is option 5.
