Questions 61-63. Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow :

Forced to follow an unchanging routine, life sometimes does become dreary and
intolerably dull. At such times, having something to look forward to can dispel boredom,
tedium or gloom and reignite the spark of enthusiasm in one’s life.

It can be anything so long as it peps one up - a forthcoming family reunion, a holiday in
the hills, a crucial IPL cricket match, a much-publicized movie or the prospect of
pursuing a hobby that one’s passionate about. Even the exciting thought of reading a
book by one’s favourite author or checking out a bumper lottery ticket (irrespective of
the outcome) can be a mood enhancer.

Indeed the very act of looking forward to something exciting is one of life’s distinct,
though little appreciated and often overlooked, pleasures. The exhilarating sense of
expectancy it brings can help banish the blues.

Eagerly awaiting or anticipating something can also be an antidote to ennui and
gloominess. An avid Agatha Christie fan, I always look forward to pitting my wits
against hers while trying to spot the culprit in her whodunits — though she invariably
outsmarts me with her devilishly ingenious plots! Yet, the prospect of taking on the
renowned crime writer buoys me up even when things are bleak.

(^) avid (B)_ ingenious
(C) exhilarating (D) distinct
Which word in the passage is an antonym for the word ‘exciting’?
(^) dreary (B) passionate
(C) anticipating (1) invariably
The past participle form of the word ‘become’ is:
(A) became (B) become
(C) becomes (D) becoming
