Pedant (a person who puts unnecessary stress on minor or trivial points of learning, displaying a scholarship, lacking in judgment or sense of proportion) and erudition (learning acquired by reading and study, scholarship) are synonyms of each other. Similar bridge exists between prude and modesty. Hence, option (2) is the answer.

'Keeps a good table' means to entertain your guest lavishly, hence option (2) is the answer.

'A mare's nest' is something supposed to be a wonderful discovery but turning out to be a hoax or a delusion, therefore, 'false invention' in option (1) best replaces the underlined portion.

Of all the options, option (4) best complements the sentence, thereby, cogently linking it to the initial part of the sentence.

C begins the sequence as it introduces the subject of 'Revival of Brahminism in Gupta period'. C is followed by A as 'Brahminism' is the link to both the statements. 'This period' in B refers to Gupta period in C, hence, it follows CA. Thus, (1) is the answer.

A novelist writes the novel and an editor edits the play. Similarly, a playwright writes the play and a director directs the play. Hence, option (2) is the answer.

B initiates the sequence as it introduces the subject - 'no unexplored worlds remain'. B is followed by D as 'but' in D proposes another idea. 'This exploration' in C refers to 'exploration' in D, thus, we have BDC link. A is an example to C. Hence, (1) is the answer.

'Established frame of reference' in the given sentence suggests the past experience, hence, option (4) is the answer.

A trial may lead into failure, similarly, a request can be denied or refused. Hence, option (1) is the answer.

Logically, B begins the sequence as it draws parallels between ancient India and ancient Egypt. To prove this concept, E follows B, which in turn is followed by A as indicated by 'also' in it. DC link is apparent, as 'same myth' in C is a reference to D. Hence, (4) is the answer.

The second part of the sentence is in support to the first part. 'Any' implies that the blank must be characterized by a minute or bit of matter. Of all the options, 'spark' fits our prediction and hence, it is the answer.

C begins the sequence as it expresses the main thought of this para jumble. As B is an explanation to C, thus, B follows C. E and D are connected by the word 'physician', but 'then' in D provides a link to E, thus, we have ED link. Hence, (2) is the answer.

Throb is to beat strongly or fast, palpitate, as the heart under exertion and flutter is a condition of the heart in which the contractions are very rapid but generally regular, therefore, these three can be grouped together. Resuscitate means to revive or bring around, so, it would be the odd one.

The clue here is and. This tells us that the blanks are going to build on what is stated in the sentence. So, if the workers felt that newly invented farm machinery threatened their jobs, it's likely that they didn't bless the machines. 'They BLANK their fear of BLANK' helps us to predict that the workers 'expressed' or showed their fear of something along the lines of industry by smashing machines. When we look at the answer choices, we see that choice (3) is the one for us. That's because registered, in this context means 'expressed,' and technology refers to the machines mentioned in the sentence. None of the other choices make sense, although choice (1) is a little tempting. That's because we can imagine frustrated workers smashing machines in anger at the injustice they're experiencing. But there's no actual reference to injustice in the sentence.

Occult, mysterious and supernatural, all suggest one meaning i.e.unrevealed, esoteric, obscure, hence, they are grouped together. Coronary is the odd one word as it is designating or relating to either of two arteries, or their branches, coming from the aorta and supplying blood directly to the heart muscle. Hence, option (3) is the answer.

C begins the sequence as it introduces the subject - 'science that studies being'. 'It' in E refers to 'science' in C, thus, we have CE link. D follows B as D elaborates B further by providing a different view. 'These first principles' in A is the direct link to 'first principles' in D, thus, we have BDA link. Hence, (2) is the answer.

Inactive, dormant and quiescent, all suggest inactive state whereas quisling  is a traitor, hence, option (4) is the answer.

'Bigotry' is the behavior, attitude, or beliefs of a bigot, intolerance, prejudice. Therefore, option (1) best illustrates the meaning of the given word.

This para jumble shows Malaysia's vision for developed status by 2020. Out of all the statements, its only B that talks of this vision, so, it follows stationary statement. Now, we are left with A, C and D. Statement C would follow B as it gives a brief account on this vision. That leaves us with (4) as the correct option.

'Indomitableness' is an indication of the person who is not easily discouraged, defeated, or subdued, unyielding, unconquerable. Option (3) simply illustrates this, hence, it is the answer.

Looking carefully at all the statements, B starts the sequence as it introduces the subject 'an individual can be at peace through art'. This narrows down our approach to 2 options, either (1) or (4). Out of statements A or E, A follows B as it talks of value of art for the spiritual being, which is an explanation to B. This makes (1) as the correct answer. But let's check it again to be sure. E follows A as it begins with 'through art' which explains A further. Out of D and C, C marks well off as the concluding statement as it sums up the idea. Thus, (1) is the answer

This para jumble tells us about Titanium and its growing usage as clear from statement 1. Out of all the options, C and D talk about the areas that will use titanium. As statement D has 'also' in it, so it follows C. There is only one option that satisfies this condition i.e. (4). But if we have to choose between A and B, statement A would follow B as it explains further the concept of titanium alloys.
