B

C

D

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
When you say you are allergic "to" something, it means that thing causes an allergic reaction in you. In this case, dust is the cause of the allergic reaction, so the correct preposition to use is "to." If you were allergic "with" dust, it would imply that dust is somehow accompanying or connected with your allergy, which doesn't make sense in this context.

For our Sunday lunch. Mother always cooked a .......
A
large pot of thick,spicy groundnut soup
B
large, thick,spicy pot of groundnut soup
C
large, spicy, thick groundnut pot of soup
D
large,spicy groundnut soup
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The correct order of adjectives in English follows this pattern:
Quantity → Opinion → Size → Age → Shape → Colour → Origin → Material → Purpose → Noun
In the given sentence:
"thick" (opinion)
"spicy" (opinion/taste)
"groundnut soup" (main noun)
The quantifier "a large pot of" comes before "thick, spicy, groundnut soup" because a quantifier needs to come before an uncountable noun (i.e. soup).

Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The diagram transforms into the one above:
Tan 30º = \(\frac{\text{opp}}{\text{adja}}\) = \(\frac{T_1}{100}\)
But tan 30º = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
\(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\) = \(\frac{T_1}{100}\)
T\(_1\) = \(\frac{100}{\sqrt{3}}\)N
