first of all, salam hai tumhari memory ko jo tumhy saray mcqs yaad hain mjhay tou test k foran baad bhi bohat yaad karnay pr bhi sirf do chaar questions hi yaad aasakay

dusraa, I also think that the test was far better than the test of spsc lectureship test, in terms of quality of questions and number of questions also. Atleast one does not feel hopeless after attempting 15 questions wrong
Now my answers:

1)Almanac: newsletter
2)Diaphanous: translucent
3)Blarney: harmless joking(forgot the correct option, but it wz something harmless)
4)Draconian: unjust (ghalat hogaya )
5)Slovenly behaviour: careless

blanks:
1. adept
2. ensure
3. creaked
4. lay
5. picqued

prepositions:
1. across
2. into
3. at
4. for
5. at



i think i have done well (atleast in subject), but the absence of negative marking has heightened "the element of chance". lets see

Well, I also managed to use my roll number slip for writing some questions with only one option each which I marked in the test. Crosschecking proved some of my answers wrong. However, I am going to share the questions but with right answers..... ...

1. How many lines are in a limerick poem? 5

2. How did Sylvia Plath die? By committing suicide

3. Who is the author of "The Little Willow", a short story? Frances Towers

4. Which play of Jane Austen was originally titled as "First Impression"? Pride and Prejudice

5. Who is the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize? Edith Warton for "The age of Innocence"

6. Name the last novel written by E. M Foster. "A Passage to India"

7. What is Epode?
Epode, in verse, is the third part of an ode, which followed the strophe and the antistrophe, and completed the movement. (See Wikipedia)

8. Molly Seagrim is a character in ____. Tome Jones by Henry Fielding

9. Pakistan is the ____ (2, 6, 9,3 )largest English speaking country in Asia. (please tell me the right answer)


There were five questions on IDIOMS.

What I can recall include

out on a limb

wither on vine

to paddle one's own canoe



I think I need not repeat the questions Farrah Zafar has already mentioned in her post.

Regards

No sir, it is not the correct answer. The link shows Pakistan's world ranking whereas the question was about Pakistan's ranking in Asia.
