  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    While four of them surrendered, three others (A)/ escaped under the cover of heavy firing at Handwara (B)/ in the Kupwara district, about 70 km from state capital Srinagar. (C)

    Solution

    There is no error in this sentence. The sentence is talking about some miscreants, some of who surrendered and some fled. The event is a past event. Also 'firing' here is used as a noun. So it is a Gerund.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    I am not a bit anxious about (A)/ my battles, if I am anxious I don't fight them, (B)/ I wait until I am ready. (C)

    Solution

    There is no error in this sentence. What the sentence is saying is that, the subject is not even a 'bit anxious about the battles' and that he/she doesn't fight if he at all is.' The sentence is grammatically correct. Since it is a statement that says a normal behaviour of a person, it is present indefinite tense. Like 'Raju lacks self-confidence, Rahim is fearless.' These are general nature of a person.

  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    The only thing (A)/ wealth does for (B)/ some people is to make (C)/ them worry about loosing them. (D)

    Solution

    The Error is in Part D of the sentence. The word loosing here is wrong. There are two distinct words. One is ''lose'' and other is ''loose.''

    Lose means ''become unable to find or be deprived of or cease to have or retain something.'' Loose means ''not firmly or tightly fixed in place ordetached or able to be detached.'' While lose is the opposite of find, loose is the opposite of tight.

  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    Two hours after its (A)/ take-off, the flight reached (B)/ Mumbai Airport, when (C)/ it stopped for a short interval (D)

    Solution

    The Error is in Part C of the sentence. Mumbai Airport is a place. Therefore we can't use ''when.'' When is used for time, where is used for place.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    If there was less (A)/ sympathy in the world, (B)/ there would be less (C)/ trouble in the world. (D)

    Solution

    When a sentence starts with, 'if' it is either imaginative or an assumption. In such cases, we must always use ''were.'' So it should be ''If there were less.''

  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    Look at the following sentences and choose the part which is incorrect from the options given below:

    Do the roses in your garden smell more sweetly than those in ours?

    Solution

    • The erroneous part if the sentence is option C.

    • The correct sentence would read: Do the roses in your garden smell sweeter than those in ours?

    • There is a comparison being made here therefore we must use the comparative form of the adjective.

    • The adjective here is sweet whose comparative form is sweeter.

  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    Look at the following sentences and choose the part which is incorrect from the options given below:

    Block of Residential flats are coming up near our house.

    Solution

    • Part A of the sentence has the error.

    • The correct sentence should read: Blocks of Residential flats are coming up near our house.

    • Flats is plural, therefore it will be Blocks of Residential flats and not Block of Residential flats.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    Look at the following sentences and choose the part which is incorrect from the options given below:

    You can get all the information that you want in this book.

    Solution

    • Part B of the sentence has the error in it.

    • The correct form of the sentence would be: You can get all the information you want in this book.

    • The “that” in the sentence has no use. It isn’t necessary. The sentence without the word “that” gives the complete and correct information.

  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    Look at the following sentences and choose the part which is incorrect from the options given below:

    The students were awaiting for the arrival of the chief guest.

    Solution

    • The part with the error is option B.

    • The correct sentence would read: The students were awaiting the arrival of the chief guest.

    • There is no need for the word “for” in the sentence.

    • Awaiting itself tells us that someone is being waited for so we don’t need the word “for” in the sentence at all.

  • Question 10
    1 / -0

    Look at the following sentences and choose the part which is incorrect from the options given below:

    Sixty miles are a good distance.

    Solution

    • The part with the error is part B.

    • The correct sentence should read: Sixty miles is a good distance.

    • Here sixty miles is being treated as a single distance so we will use “is” instead of “are.”
