The correct answer is: I could not find it anywhere.

Key Points
  • The structure of the sentence is: 
    • Subject: "I" (first-person singular pronoun)
    • Verb: "could not find" (a compound verb phrase indicating the inability to locate something)
    • Object: "it" (a pronoun representing the thing that couldn't be found)
    • Adverb: "anywhere" (modifying the verb phrase, indicating the lack of a specific location where the speaker could find the object)
  • The sentence is grammatically complete and makes sense on its own.
  • The sentence follows the English word order (subject-verb-object) and effectively communicates the idea that the speaker was unable to locate the object in any place.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.

Q3.Five jumbled up sentences, related to a topic, are given below. Four of them can be put together to form a coherent paragraph.

Q4.The passage given below is followed by four alternate summaries. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the passage. Aesthetic political representation urges us to realize that ‘the representative has autonomy with regard to the people represented’ but autonomy then is not an excuse to abandon one’s responsibility. Aesthetic autonomy requires cultivation of ‘disinterestedness’ on the part of actors which is not indifference. To have disinterestedness, that is, to have comportment towards the beautiful that is devoid of all ulterior references to use – requires a kind of aesthetic commitment; it is the liberation of ourselves for the release of what has proper worth only in itself. 
Q5.The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, 4) below, when properly sequenced would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer: 1. Complex computational elements of the CNS are organized according to a “nested” hierarchic criterion; the organization is not permanent and can change dynamically from moment to moment as they carry out a computational task. 2. Echolocation in bats exemplifies adaptation produced by natural selection; a function not produced by natural selection for its current use is exaptation -- feathers might have originally arisen in the context of selection for insulation. 3. From a structural standpoint, consistent with exaptation, the living organism is organized as a complex of “Russian Matryoshka Dolls” -- smaller structures are contained within larger ones in multiple layers. 4. The exaptation concept, and the Russian-doll organizat
Q6.The passage given below is followed by four alternate summaries. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the passage. The dominant hypotheses in modern science believe that language evolved to allow humans to exchange factual information about the physical world. But an alternative view is that language evolved, in modern humans at least, to facilitate social bonding. It increased our ancestors’ chances of survival by enabling them to hunt more successfully or to cooperate more extensively. Language meant that things could be explained and that plans and past experiences could be shared efficiently.
Q7.The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, 4) below, when properly sequenced would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer:   1. It advocated a conservative approach to antitrust enforcement that espouses faith in efficient markets and voiced suspicion regarding the merits of judicial intervention to correct anticompetitive practices. 2. Many industries have consistently gained market share, the lion’s share – without any official concern; the most successful technology companies have grown into veritable titans, on the premise that they advance ‘public interest’. 3.

Q8.The passage given below is followed by four alternate summaries. Choose the option that best captures the essence of the passage. Brown et al. (2001) suggest that ‘metabolic theory may provide a conceptual foundation for much of ecology just as genetic theory provides a foundation for much of evolutionary biology’. One of the successes of genetic theory is the diversity of theoretical approaches and models that have been developed and applied. A Web of Science (v. 5.9. Thomson Reuters) search on genetic* + theor* + evol* identifies more than 12000 publications between 2005 and 2012. Considering only the 10 most - cited papers within this 12000 publication set, genetic theory can be seen to focus on genome dynamics, phylogenetic inference, game theory and the regulation of gene expression. There is no one fundamental genetic equation, but rather a wide array of genetic models, ranging from simple to complex, with differing inputs and outputs, and divergent areas of applicat

The logic of displaying one’s inner qualities through outward appearance was based on a distinction between being a woman and being feminine. 2. 'Appearance' became a signifier of conduct - to look was to be and conformity to the feminine ideal was measured by how well women could use the tools of the fashion and beauty industries. 3. The makeover - centric media sets out subtly and not - so - subtly, ‘good’ and ‘bad’ ways to be a woman, layering these over inequalities of race and class. 4. The denigration of working - class women and women of colour often centres on their perceived failure to embody feminine beauty. 5. ‘Woman’ was considered a biological category, but femininity was a ‘process’ by which women be
