CLAT English 2027 Mock Test Questions

The CLAT 2027 English questions are passage-based questions similar to those in the CLAT syllabus. Each question has four options: the correct answer and the explanation.

Passage 1

The adoption of the Non-Cooperation Movement by the Indian National Congress marked a significant development in India’s struggle for independence. The movement received widespread support from different sections of society, including peasants, workers and artisans. It brought ordinary Indians into the national movement and demonstrated their ability to challenge British rule. The participation of different communities and the maintenance of communal unity were important achievements. However, communal tensions later became a challenge to the national movement.

Passage 2: Prehistoric Humans and Species

For most of their history, humans were not particularly exceptional compared with other animals. Chimpanzees, baboons and elephants also displayed complex behaviours and social structures. Humans did not always recognise how their actions could affect the environment or how their species might eventually transform the world.

A common way of classifying animals into species is based on whether they can produce fertile offspring with one another. Horses and donkeys, for example, can produce mules, but mules are generally sterile. In contrast, bulldogs and spaniels may look very different, yet they belong to the same species because they can reproduce and produce fertile offspring.

(a) Humans consciously attempted to shape their environment from the beginning.

(c) They had not developed any tools.

(d) They lacked the genetic capacity to develop language.

Answer: (b) Their behaviour was not entirely unique compared with that of other animals.

(a) Ability to produce fertile offspring.

(b) Similarity in appearance and size.
