Question 4
1 / -0.33

In the given question, a part of the sentence is made bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at (A), (B), and (C) which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no replacement is needed, mark (D) as your answer.

Getting to hire as the assistant to a pastry chef seemed like a dream come true.

A
Get to hire

B
Getting to be hired

C
Getting hired

D
No replacement required

Solution

The sentence is starting with a gerund and implying as the narrator is feeling happy to have got the job of the assistant to a pastry chef. Therefore, instead of ‘to hire’, the past participle ‘hired’ must be used to make the sentence meaningful.

Clearly, among the given choices option (C) replaces the bold part most appropriately.

The sentence after replacement becomes:

Getting hired as the assistant to a pastry chef seemed like a dream come true.
Question 5
1 / -0.33

In the given question, a part of the sentence is made bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at (A), (B), and (C) which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no replacement is needed, mark (D) as your answer.

A
Consequences damaging arising

B

C
Consequential damage arising

D
No replacement required

Solution

The given part is grammatically as well as contextually incorrect as two nouns ‘consequences’ and ‘damage’ are coming together and making no sense. Instead of ‘consequences’ the adjective ‘consequential’ would make sense in the given context of the sentence.

Clearly, among the given choices option (C) replaces the bold part most appropriately.

The sentence after replacement becomes:

The article explores the problem and the consequential damage arising out of dumping about 5 to 13 million tonnes of plastic into the ocean each year.

D
for accept

Solution

The correct sentence will be- ''Rahul was ready "to" accept any job, even a part-time one.''

Option (D) should use 'to' instead of 'for'.

In option (A) 'was' is correct as the sentence is in the past tense.

In option (B) the article 'a' is correct as it is used with indefinite things.

Option (C) is also grammatically meaningful.

'To' is used to indicate the relation between the person and the job.

'For' is used to indicate a purpose.
Question 9
1 / -0.33

Given below is a sentence that has multiple parts. Find out the error/ no error and indicate your response accordingly.

Despite the thrill of winning the lottery last week, my neighbour still seems happily.

A
Despite the thrill of winning

B
the lottery last week,

C
my neighbour

D
still seems happily

Solution

The correct sentence is "Despite the thrill of winning the lottery last week, my neighbour still seems happy".

The error is in the fourth part of the sentence 'still seems happily'. The usage of 'happily' is incorrect in the given sentence. To make the sentence correct replace the adverb 'happily' with the adjective 'happy'.

According to the rule of grammar, seems is a linking verb and with a linking verb, we need to write an adjective (happy) and not an adverb (happily). For example: The eggs smell rotten. Here 'rotten' is an adjective.
