    Show the answer

    Answer: for. 'For' goes with a period of time such as ten years; 'since' goes with a starting point.

  2. MediumReading Comprehension

    Read the passage and answer. Passage: Many graduates worry that they lack experience. Yet internships, college projects, volunteering and even part-time jobs count as experience if they are described well. The trick is to state what you did, what problem it solved and what the result was. 'Managed the college fest budget of Rs 2 lakh and cut costs by 15 percent' says far more than 'Member of fest committee'. Question: The word 'trick' in the passage is closest in meaning to:

    • Lie
    • Technique
    • Trap
    • Joke
    Show the answer

    Answer: Technique. Here 'trick' means a clever technique, not a deception.

  3. HardAntonyms

    Choose the word most nearly opposite in meaning to OBSCURE.

    • Unknown
    • Vague
    • Hidden
    • Renowned
    Show the answer

    Answer: Renowned. Obscure means not well known; 'Renowned' is its opposite. The other options are close to it in meaning or unrelated.
