Morphological Concepts Mapping Explained
This solution identifies the correct pairings between morphological concepts listed in Column X and their examples provided in Column Y.
Concept Analysis and Matching
We will analyze each morphological concept and its corresponding example:
- P. Suppletion: This refers to irregular plurals or verb forms derived from different roots. The example 'bad – worst' (3) fits, as 'worst' is the superlative of 'bad' but derived from a different stem. Match: P - 3.
- Q. Conversion: Also known as zero derivation, this is changing a word's grammatical class without changing its form. The example '(a) doctor – (to) doctor' (5) shows a noun ('doctor') becoming a verb ('to doctor') without any change in form. Match: Q - 5.
- R. Zero Morpheme: This is a morpheme with no phonetic realization, often indicating grammatical function. The example 'deer – deer' (2) represents a zero morpheme for the plural form, as it's identical to the singular. Match: R - 2.
- S. Hypocorism: This involves creating shortened or altered forms, often nicknames. 'bookmaker – bookie' (1) is a clear example, where 'bookie' is a hypocoristic form of 'bookmaker'. Match: S - 1.
- T. Derivation: This process forms new words by adding affixes. 'arrive – arrival' (4) shows derivation, with the suffix '-al' added to 'arrive' to form a noun. Match: T - 4.
Correct Mapping Summary
Based on the analysis, the correct sequence of matches is:
P – 3, Q – 5, R – 2, S – 1, T – 4
This mapping corresponds to Option 4.
Important Questions from Analytical Aptitude
An ant is at the bottom-left corner of a grid (point P) as shown above. It aims to move to the top-right corner of the grid. The ant moves only along the lines marked in the grid such that the current distance to the top-right corner strictly decreases.
Which one of the following is a part of a possible trajectory of the ant during the movement?A building has several rooms and doors as shown in the top view of the building given below. The doors are closed initially.
What is the minimum number of doors that need to be opened in order to go from the point P to the point Q?
An art gallery engages a security guard to ensure that the items displayed are protected. The diagram below represents the plan of the gallery where the boundary walls are opaque. The location the security guard posted is identified such that all the inner space (shaded region in the plan) of the gallery is within the line of sight of the security guard.
If the security guard does not move around the posted location and has a 360° view, which one of the following correctly represents the set of ALL possible locations among the locations P, Q, R and S, where the security guard can be posted to watch over the entire inner space of the gallery.
