CLOZE TEST

PREPARATORY SET-49 (OLD PATTERN)

Direction (Qs.1 to 7): In the following passage, some of the words have been omitted, each of which is indicated by a number. Find the suitable word from the options given against each number and fill up the blanks with appropriate words to make the paragraph meaningful.

 

People walking, head down, brow ...(1)... in concentration as they message, scroll, swipe and ‘like’ – oblivious to the world around them. We’ve all seen them – perhaps even been them.

The Earth is us.” It follows, then, that by spending time focusing on the Earth’s riches, we are not only connecting with an essential part of ourselves, but also ...(6)... gratitude and appreciation – and by seeing ourselves as a part of the world we inhabit, rather than simply autonomous residents, it encourages us to be more judicious in our choices and more ...(7)... in our practices, too.
