24 sample cards from the English Language and Comprehension deck
Sampled from the end of the deck, so these are different cards from the ones shown on the syllabus page.
What is the common error in 'One of my friend is a lawyer,' and the correction?
'One of' must be followed by a plural noun: 'One of my friends is a lawyer.'
Identify the error type in 'He don't know the answer.'
It is a subject-verb agreement error; the correct form is 'He doesn't know the answer.'
What is wrong with the sentence 'I have visited Mumbai last year'?
Tense misuse: a definite past time ('last year') requires the simple past, so it should be 'I visited Mumbai last year.'
What is the difference between a synonym and an antonym?
A synonym is a word with the same or similar meaning to another word, while an antonym is a word with the opposite meaning.
Give a synonym and an antonym for the word 'abundant.'
Synonym: plentiful (or ample); Antonym: scarce.
What is a one-word substitution? Give an example.
It is a single word used in place of a phrase or group of words expressing the same idea; e.g., 'a person who studies the law' = a 'jurist'.
What is the one-word substitution for 'a government by the people'?
Democracy.
What is the one-word substitution for 'a person who cannot read or write'?
Illiterate.
What is an idiom?
An idiom is a fixed expression whose meaning cannot be understood from the literal meanings of its individual words (e.g., 'spill the beans' means to reveal a secret).
What does the idiom 'to take something with a pinch of salt' mean?
To regard a statement with skepticism or not to accept it as completely true.
What does the idiom 'a bone of contention' mean?
A subject or matter that causes dispute or disagreement between people.
What is the difference between the confusing pair 'principle' and 'principal'?
'Principle' is a noun meaning a rule or fundamental truth; 'principal' means chief/most important, or refers to the head of a school or a sum of money.
Distinguish between 'stationary' and 'stationery.'
'Stationary' means not moving (an adjective); 'stationery' means writing materials such as paper and pens (a noun).
Which is the correct spelling: 'accommodate' or 'accomodate'?
'Accommodate' (with double c and double m) is correct.
Distinguish between 'affect' and 'effect.'
'Affect' is usually a verb meaning to influence; 'effect' is usually a noun meaning a result (and rarely a verb meaning to bring about).
In sentence rearrangement (para jumbles), what should you identify first to order the sentences?
Identify the opening sentence (which introduces the topic and has no backward reference) and look for logical links such as pronouns, connectors, and chronological or cause-effect order.
What textual clues help link jumbled sentences in the correct sequence?
Pronoun references, transition words (however, therefore, then), repeated key nouns, articles ('a' introducing then 'the' referring back), and time or cause-effect order.
In fill-in-the-blank questions, how do you select the correct word?
Read the full sentence for context and tone, check grammatical fit (part of speech, tense, number), and choose the option that completes the intended meaning logically and idiomatically.
What is a sentence completion question testing?
It tests the ability to choose a word or phrase that logically and grammatically completes a sentence while preserving its intended meaning and coherence.
What is a cloze test?
A cloze test is a passage with multiple blanks where you choose the most suitable word for each blank based on context, grammar, and the overall coherence of the passage.
What is the key strategy for solving a cloze test accurately?
Read the whole passage first to understand its theme, then fill blanks using contextual meaning, collocations, grammar, and consistency of tone across the passage.
What does a sentence improvement question require you to do?
To identify the underlined or weak part of a sentence and replace it with the option that is grammatically correct, clearer, and more idiomatic, or to mark 'no improvement' if it is already correct.
Improve the sentence: 'The teacher gave a long lecture which lasted for two hours long.'
Remove the redundancy: 'The teacher gave a lecture which lasted two hours.' (or 'a two-hour lecture').
What grammatical improvement is needed in 'Hardly had I reached the station when the train left'?
The sentence is already correct; 'Hardly...when' with past perfect ('had reached') is the proper construction, so 'no improvement' applies.
What this deck covers
The English Language and Comprehension deck follows the MH CET Law English Language and Comprehension syllabus — 4 chapters and 16 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 12.5 cards per chapter.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 119 characters, which is long enough to carry the reasoning and short enough to say out loud.
A deck like this earns its keep on the second and third pass. Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then use the cards to find the specific facts that have not stuck.
