Answer: D

Approach: Definition application — match the option to every part of the definition.

Solution: Erratic behaviour = acting without consistency, regularity or uniformity. Sagar was a model employee for three years and now suddenly calls in sick, forgets meetings and is abusive — a clear break from his regular pattern, i.e. inconsistent behaviour.

Why the other options are wrong: A and E show a consistent reaction (always angry/emotional on one topic); B is a single reaction to one event; C is indecision, not irregular behaviour.

Cetking shortcut: Look for the option that shows a change from a stable pattern — that is what 'lacks consistency' means.

Answer: D

Forest fires feed on decades-long accumulations of debris and leap from the tops of young trees into the branches of mature trees. Fires that jump from treetop to treetop can be devastating. In old-growth forests however, the shade of mature trees keeps thickets of small trees from sprouting, and the lower branches of mature trees are too high to catch the flames.
The paragraph best support the statement.
  1. Forest fire damage is reduced in old growth forests
  2. small trees should be cut down to prevent forest fire
  3. Mature trees should be thinned out to prevent forest fires
  4. Forest fires do the most damage in old growth forests
  5. old growth forests have a larger accumulation of forest debris
Show answerHide answer

Answer: A

Approach: Inference supported by the paragraph.

Solution: The paragraph says fires become devastating when they jump from young trees into tree-tops. In old-growth forests, shade stops small trees from growing and mature branches are too high to catch fire. So fire cannot climb easily there — damage is reduced.

Why the other options are wrong: B and C are recommendations the paragraph never makes; D is the opposite of the passage; E is not stated — debris accumulation is not compared.

Cetking shortcut: 'Best supported' = the option closest to what the text directly says; drop any option that gives advice.

Answer: A
