Glossary of official & technical terms (with Hindi versions) MCQ - Practice Questions with Answers

The official term for supplementary matter placed after the main text is Appendix. The cue is the phrase 'supplementary material placed at the end of a report or book'. Agenda belongs to meetings, proceedings refers to records or conduct, and foreword appears before the main text. Hence Appendix is the only correct choice.

Official translation depends on the administrative context of the term. The cue is वित्तीय, which places स्वीकृति in a financial approval context. In such usage, sanction means formal approval, not punishment, so वित्तीय स्वीकृति is Financial Sanction. Therefore both A and R are true, and R correctly explains A.

The glossary rule distinguishes Gazette-related status from temporary employment. The cues are राजपत्र, राजपत्रित and अराजपत्रित. राजपत्र means Gazette, and राजपत्रित अधिकारी means Gazetted Officer, so Statements 1 and 2 are correct. अराजपत्रित means Non-gazetted, not Temporary. Therefore only Statements 1 and 2 are correct.

In official and administrative English, "sanction" means formal approval granted by a competent authority, especially for expenditure, posts, leave, or schemes. The cue in A is "formal approval given by a competent authority"; the cue in R is the absolute word "always". Permission is broader and does not carry the same technical force in phrases such as "financial sanction" or "administrative sanction". Therefore, A is true but R is false.

In official English, a "clarification" removes doubt or makes an existing rule clear without changing it. The cues are "remove doubt" and "without changing or correcting their text". An amendment would change the rule, a corrigendum would correct an error, and an agenda belongs to meeting procedure. Therefore, only "clarification" fits the sentence.
