NIMCET 2015 — English PYQ

Explanation of Terms:

• Aborigines: This term refers to the people who have lived in a country or region from the earliest times, before the arrival of colonists or settlers. It is derived from the Latin phrase ab origine, meaning "from the beginning."

• Originals: While this word implies something first or primary, it is generally used for objects, documents, or creative works rather than as a formal collective noun for ethnic inhabitants.

• Abominabless: This is not a standard English word. It likely stems from a misspelling of "abominable," which means causing moral revulsion or being very bad.

• Cannibals: This refers to individuals who eat the flesh of their own species (human beings eating human flesh). This is unrelated to how long a group has inhabited a specific area.
