  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Separate the following sentence into Subject and Predicate:
    The beautiful rainbow soon faded away.
    Solution
    The subject of a complete sentence is who or what the sentence is about, and the predicate tells about that subject.
    The given sentence is about "the beautiful rainbow". Hence this is the subject.
    Also, the subject is what performs/receives an action. The action here is 'faded'. (The other words 'soon' and 'away' both modify this verb.) Thus, it constitutes the predicate which tells us about the subject.
    Hence, the subject is: The beautiful rainbow
    The predicate is: soon faded away.
    So, option C is correct.
    Option A: 'Soon' is an adverb that modifies the verb 'faded'. Hence it cannot be included in the subject.
    Options B and D: The subject can never include a verb.
    Hence these options are incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Separate the Subject and the Predicate in the following sentence:
    Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan.

    The subject is who or what the sentence is about, and the predicate tells something about the subject. Here the sentence is about Islamabad, and the sentence says that it is the capital of Pakistan. Therefore, Option D is correct. In rest of the options, either the information is taken as the subject(Option A, B) or a part of the information is included along with the object of focus,(Option C).

    Choose the option that best corrects the sentence.
    Solution
    Since "he visited ...Scotland" is qualified by "where...English", these should be placed together, hence Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not place the qualifying clauses together, hence incorrect.

    Directions For Questions

    [passage-header]
    Read the passage and consider how it might be revised to improve the expression of ideas or to correct the errors in sentence structure, usage, or punctuation.
    Accordingly, answer the question that follows:
    'Tiny Exhibit, Big Impact'
    [/passage-header]   The first time I visited the Art Institute of Chicago, I expected to be impressed by its famous large paintings. [1] On one hand, I couldn't wait to view [2] painter, Georges Seurat's, 10-foot-wide A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte in its full size. It took me by surprise, then, when my favorite exhibit at the museum was one of [3] it's tiniest; the Thorne Miniature Rooms.
       Viewing the exhibit, I was amazed by the intricate details of some of the more ornately decorated rooms. I marveled at a replica of a salon (a formal living room) dating back to the reign of French King Louis XV. [4] Built into the dark paneled walls are bookshelves stocked with leather-bound volumes. The couch and chairs, in keeping with the style of the time, are characterized by elegantly curved arms and [5] legs, they are covered in luxurious velvet. A dime-sized portrait of a French aristocratic woman hangs in a golden frame.
       This exhibit showcases sixty-eight miniature rooms inserted into a wall at eye level. Each furnished room consists of three walls; the fourth wall is a glass pane through which museumgoers observe. The rooms and their furnishings were painstakingly created to scale at 1/12th their actual size, so that one inch in the exhibit correlates with one foot in real life. A couch, for example, is seven inches long, and [6] that is based on a seven-foot-long couch. Each room represents a distinctive style of European, American, or Asian interior design from the thirteenth to twentieth centuries.
       The plainer rooms are more sparsely [7] furnished. Their architectural features, furnishings, and decorations are just as true to the periods they represent. One of my favorite rooms in the whole exhibit, in fact, is an 1885 summer kitchen. The room is simple but spacious, with a small sink and counter along one wall, a cast-iron wood stove and some hanging pots and pans against another wall, and [8] a small table under a window of the third wall. Aside from a few simple wooden chairs placed near the edges of the room, the floor is open and obviously well worn.
       As I walked through the exhibit, I overheard a [9] visitors remark, You know, that grandfather clock actually runs. Its glass door swings open, and the clock can be wound up." [10] Dotted with pin-sized knobs, another visitor noticed my fascination with a tiny writing desk and its drawers. "All of those little drawers pull out. And you see that hutch? Can you believe it has a secret compartment?" Given the exquisite craftsmanship and level of detail I'd already seen, I certainly could.

    The change required for sentence underlined at [10] is _________. 
    Solution
    The actual meaning should be that the drawers are dotted with pin-size knobs, not the visitor. Hence Option D is correct. The rest of the options do clarify this change in word order and subsequent meaning, hence these are incorrect. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    On January 15, 1991, completing the longest hot air balloon flight, was the 'Virgin Pacific Flyer,' flown by Per Lindstrand and Richard Branson from Japan to Northern Canada.

    Choose the best sequence of words for the sentence given.
    Solution
    The implied meaning is that on a particular date, a hot air balloon flown by two persons completed the longest hot air balloon flight. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not express the meaning in this sequence, hence incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the given sentence:
    The man ought to be brought before a judge who is guilty of such fraud.
    Solution
    Since "ought...judge" is qualified by "who ...fraud", these should be placed close together. Hence, Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not place the qualifying clauses close together, hence these are incorrect.
