  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Travelling at speeds of up to 431 km/hr, the Shanghai Maglev is the faster train in the world. [Basic]
    Solution
    We are comparing the Shanghai Maglev train to all the other trains in the world. So, we need to use the superlative degree of the adjective 'fast'. Hence, the correct answer is C) Fastest.
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    Some students are better at art than they are at science. [Advanced]
    Solution
    Comparative adjectives compare one person or thing with another and enable us to say whether a person or thing has more or less of a particular quality. The underlined part needs to be replaced with 'than' to make it a comparative adjective. Thus, option C is the correct answer. 
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined words.
    The length of the cupboard is greater than the room wall against which it must stand.
    Solution
    The lengths of the cupboard and the room wall are being compared. The underlined phrase does not indicate the length of the room wall. This needs to be corrected, option A is incorrect. The grammatical structure of option B is different from the phrase 'length of the cupboard', hence it's incorrect. Since the sentence mentions the length as a comparison, 'measurement' is vague according to the specified length, hence C is incorrect. The last option has the same grammatical structure as the first phrase in the sentence, it's the correct option.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Elena thought that playing with her children was more entertaining than playing board games.

    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined words.
    Solution
    Parallel structure means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more words or ideas are of equal importance. Words in the parallel structure should not only have the same structure but also tense. In the given sentence, two clauses are correctly connected with a word of comparison i.e. than. Thus, option A is the correct answer per rule. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    The ratio of flour to sugar in a pound cake is lower compared to other cakes.

    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined words.
    Solution
    A comparison is being made of 'the ratio of flour to sugar' between 'a pound cake' and 'other cakes'. We need a demonstrative to refer to this ratio in the phrase 'other cakes'. In the sentence, that demonstrative is not present, so we need to change it, so Option A is incorrect. The second option states only the flour without the mention of the ratio and sugar. so this one is incorrect. Similarly, the third option leaves out the flour and its ratio, so it's incorrect. The fourth option contains a demonstrative 'that' which refers back to the phrase 'ratio of flour to sugar'. This statement is parallel to the grammatical structure of the first part as well, hence this is the correct option.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Medieval paintings differ from Renaissance paintings in that the former have more gold paint than the latter.

    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined words.
    Solution
    Comparison of adjectives means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more words or ideas are of equal importance. In the given sentence, the paintings of two different eras are compared. Words of comparison should not only have the same structure but also tense. Thus, option A is the correct answer per rule as the given sentence is grammatically correct. 
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Harry felt that swimming in the nearby lake was more relaxing than billiards at the club.

    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined word.
    Solution
    A comparison is being made between two activities, 'swimming' is mentioned whereas the second activity isn't mentioned but the following noun 'billiards' is mentioned. We know that billiards is a game and it would be played, so we need to change the underlined noun by adding 'playing' which is in the same grammatical structure as 'swimming' both being gerunds. Option C is hence correct and option D isn't. Options A and B do not contain the required gerund and do not complete the meaning of the sentence, hence they're incorrect.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Repeating last year, this year's Wimbledon's Women's Singles trophy was won by Serena Williams.

    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined words.
    Solution
    The underlined phrase "last year's" does not tell us what of last year has been repeated this year. It sounds incomplete, so we need to change it, which makes option A incorrect. Similarly, when we replace the phrase with option B, 'the previous year' also does not specify what of the previous year is repeated, and using this also makes the sentence sound incomplete hence option B is incorrect. In option C 'that' is a demonstrative that modifies a noun that has been mentioned before, since there isn't any noun mentioned before the phrase, this option cannot be used hence it's incorrect. In option D, the phrase tells us what from the last year has been repeated this year as well, the 'results' of last year were repeated this year. Hence using this makes the sentence sound complete option D is correct.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Replace the underlined word with the most suitable option:
    Films of the 1920's were different from 1930's in the sense that there was more color in the latter period.
    Solution
    A comparison is made here between films from two decades. The underlined decade '1930's' refers to the decade and omits the noun 'films' which is the noun being compared between these two decades, the 1920's and the 1930's. Option D is incorrect since we need to change this statement. Option A correctly completes the sentence, where 'those' is a demonstrative that refers to the noun 'films'. 'Any' in option B means any single film and not all the films of the 1930's, so it's incorrect. 'That' is a demonstrative which is used for singular nouns, whereas 'films' is a plural noun, hence option C is incorrect.
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    The paint on the original statue is duller than those on the reproduction.

    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined words.
    Solution
    'Those' is a demonstrative adjective that refers to plural nouns, but 'paint' is a singular noun. Hence the statement needs to be corrected. Option D, as well as Option C, is incorrect. 'That' demonstrates singular nouns (in this case paint) and the grammatical structure of Option B is the same as that of the phrase 'paint on the original statue', option B is the correct answer. Option A has one noun, 'reproduction' and is incomplete since 'paint' is not mentioned nor is its demonstrative, making it an incorrect option.
