As everybody is ____ attached to his motherland it is difficult to find a man who is ____ of love for his motherland.
Answer : Option E
Explaination / Solution:
We generally use the word 'deeply' with attached. The sentence has a tone of antagonism. Since the first half of the statement talks of deep attachment for motherland, the latter should be opposite. Corresponding to this, 'devoid' also fits in well.

It is every musician’s _____ to be appreciated by an audience that _____ its music.
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
'Wish', 'dream' and 'desire' can be used interchangeably, so the key to solve this question is understanding the grammatical sttructure of the statement. The statement seems to be presented like a generic statement and simple present is used in such places, so 'knows' fits the second blank and thus B is the correct response.

One day the boy ____ his breakfast and ate it by a purling brook which ran ____ his mother’s orchard.
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
The sentence is in past tense, (indicated by the words 'ate' and 'ran'), hence options B and C can be eliminated. Option E can be eliminated as 'taken' can't be used individually in the given sentence.
A brook is a small stream. The brook can't run within the orchard but can run through the orchard, hence option D can be eliminated as well.

TO bring out the intended meaning, 'ensure,rope' fit the blanks aptly.

More is ________ of conditions of the tribal’s in Maharashtra than _________ conditions of those in the other parts of the country.
Answer : Option E
Explaination / Solution:
The second blank is followed by 'conditions' and in the context of the passage, 'of' is the only preposition suitable for this blank. However, it puts of in a very repetitive use which makes it look superfluous. 'Aware' does not fits the first blank because it would make 'more' seem like a noun, which is incorrect. option A when put in the blank fields brings out the correct meaning. Certain means specific but not explicitly named or stated. The sentence means that the conditions of the tribals in Maharashtra are more determined or defined than that of any other tribal group.
