PSG Tech 07.06.2004 - Some Verbal

(Analyticals were from 13th edition Barron’s GRE Guide, mainly from the 5 model test papers at the last. There were no alterations in the questions or the choices and was simply replicated from the book. But there were only 4 questions under each annals problem in the TCS test – there are 5 in book. Which 4 of these 5 will appear is not predictable). Some of these words are not correctly spelt. Bear with!
