11. Anam is the smartest _______ girls?

• A. among others
• B. of all others
• C. of all
• D. of

Explanation: The natural superlative construction is “the smartest of all girls,” where of all introduces the group being compared. “Of all others” is unnecessarily awkward in this sentence.

12. ______ dangerously a person lives _____ chances of his deaths in young age.

• A. the more/the more
• B. the most/the more
• C. the most/ the most
• D. None of these

Explanation: This uses the comparative correlative pattern “the more..., the more...,” showing that one increasing condition produces another. The sentence would be more natural as “the more dangerously a person lives, the greater the chance of dying young.”

13. I________my friend will die soon.

• A. Hope
• B. Fear
• C. Expect
• D. No Appropriate Option

Explanation: “Fear” expresses apprehension about an undesirable future event, so it fits the statement that the friend may die soon. “Hope” expresses a desired outcome and would conflict with the intended meaning.

14. I'm ________ sure of it as you are.

• A. Quite
• B. As
• C. Perfectly
• D. Very

Explanation: The fixed comparative structure is “as ... as”: “I’m as sure of it as you are.” “Quite,” “perfectly,” and “very” cannot complete this comparison in the same way.

15. You _______ not worry about me.

• A. would
• B. need
• C. could
• D. shall
• E. can

Explanation: Need not expresses the absence of necessity, so the sentence means that you are not required to worry. Would, could, and can do not convey this meaning here.

16. Sana! Please ______ a tea ?

• A. Taken
• B. Drank
• C. Have
• D. Put

Explanation: “Have” is used in the expression “have a tea,” meaning drink a cup or serving of tea. The other options are past-tense or unrelated verbs and cannot complete this polite suggestion or request.

17. I am looking for admission __________ in a government or private university.

• A. both
• B. until
• C. either
• D. neither

Explanation: The paired construction is “either ... or,” so “either” correctly presents the two possible types of university. “Both” would require “and,” while “neither” would indicate that neither option is suitable.

• A. The Grave
• B. Cædmon's Hymn

• B. June - December
• C. July - January
