50+ English Questions For IB ACIO Exam PDF

Here are a few questions from the PDF to give you a glimpse of the content:

Q.1 Select the word which means the same as the group of words given.

An urgent need or demand

A. vindication
B. satiety
C. redress
D. exigency

Ans. D

Sol. 

  • Vindication = prove something was correct
  • Satiety = a satisfying feeling
  • Redress = a remedy
  • Exigency = urgency
  • Hence the correct option is D.

Q.2 Complete the given sentence in the most appropriate way (grammatically as well as structurally).

He talked to the nurse for few minutes and _______

A. Told a few words of warning to Colin.
B. Said a few words of warning to Colin.
C. Had told some words of warning to Colin.
D. Had told little words of warning to Colin.

Ans. B

Sol.

  • When the verb ‘told’ is used it should be immediately followed by a pronoun or the name of the person and ‘to’ is not used in such cases. Thus, clearly, B is the correct answer.
  • The correct tense to be used here is simple past and not past perfect so (iii) and (iv) get eliminated.
  • The correct adjective to be used here is ‘a few’ which means ‘some’ and ‘little’ is incorrect here as words are countable nouns.
  • Thus, B satisfies all the conditions.

Q.3 Direction: Which of the following sentences is grammatically correct?

A. There is currently no official statistics of the number of street children in India.
B. Various studies have formulated estimates of certain cities.
C. The primary reason for this is that it is difficult to obtain accurate datas.
D. There are cases of children running from home.

Ans. B
Sol.

  • Only sentence B is grammatically correct.
  • The error in A is the usage of the word ‘statistics’ in plural form (where it means the study of the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data). It must be used in the singular form ‘statistic’ to make the sentence correct.
  • The error in C is the usage of the word ‘datas’ which does not exist. Certain words are used in the same form in singular and plural form like data, furniture etc.
  • The error in D is the absence of the preposition ‘away’ after the verb ‘running’. Only the verb ‘running’ does not make any sense but ‘running away’ which means ‘escape from a place, person, or situation’ conveys the correct meaning.

Q.4 Select the word which means the same as the group of words given.

A style in which a writer makes a display of his knowledge

A. Pedantic
B. Ornate
C. Verbose
D. Pompous

Ans. A

Sol.

  • Pompous = too serious and full of importance 
  • Verbose, Ornate and Pedantic are all different styles of writing.
  • Verbose is an excessively expressive style of writing. More words are used in this style of writing.
  • Ornate, as in ornamental, is a decorative style of writing and uses more complex words.
  • While in the pedantic style of writing, the writer uses exact, precise words to write. It is generally used in technical writing.
  • Pedantic means giving too much attention to formal rules or small details and displaying one’s knowledge. So, the correct answer is pedantic.

Q.5 In the sentence ‘I turned a deaf ear to the old man’ the word ‘ear’ is:

A. Verb
B. Idiom
C. Conjunction
D. Noun

Ans. D

Sol. The word ‘ear’ is a noun here. ‘Deaf’ is an adjective which defines the noun ‘ear’. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
