Directions For Questions

[passage-header]
Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows.
The Hype of Healthier Organic Food[/passage-header]Some people buy organic food because they believe organically grown crops are more nutritious and safer for consumption than [1] the people who purchase their conventionally grown counterparts, which are usually produced with pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. In the name of health, [2] spending $1.60 for every dollar they would have spent on food that is [3] grown in a manner that is considered conventional. Scientific evidence, [4] therefore, suggests that consumers do not reap significant benefits, in terms of either nutritional value or safety, from organic food. Although advocates of organic food [5] preserve that organic produce is healthier than conventionally grown produce because it has more vitamins and minerals, this assertion is not supported by scientific research. [6] For instance, one review published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition provided analysis of the results of comparative studies conducted over a span of 50 years; researchers consistently found no evidence that organic crops are more nutritious than conventionally grown ones in terms of their vitamin and mineral content. [7] Similarly, Stanford University researchers who examined almost 250 studies comparing the nutritional content of different kinds of organic foods with that of their nonorganic counterparts found very little difference between the two. Evidence also undermines the claim that organic food is safer to eat. While researchers have found lower levels of pesticide residue in organic produce than in nonorganic produce, the pesticide residue detected in conventional produce falls within acceptable safety limits. According to such organizations as the US Environmental Protection Agency, the minute amounts of residue falling within such limits [8] have no negative impact on human health. [9]
Based on scientific evidence, organic food offers neither significant nutritional nor safety benefits for consumers. Proponents of organic food, of course, are quick to add that [10] their are numerous other reasons to buy organic [11] food, such as, a desire to protect the environment from potentially damaging pesticides or a preference for the taste of organically grown foods. Research regarding these issues is less conclusive than the findings regarding nutritional content and pesticide residue safety limits. What is clear, though, is this: if a consumer's goal is to buy the healthiest and safest food to eat, the increased cost of organic food is a waste of money.

The change required for sentence underlined at [8] is _____.

A
NO CHANGE

B
is having

C
has had

D
has

Solution

Option A is the correct answer because no change is required.
This is because “have” is used in plural form answer it means to possess or own, here it means that the minute amounts possess no negative impact, hence it is correct.
Question 2
1 / -0

Fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verb to complete the following sentence:

He _______ (not have) enough money to meet the cost yet.

A
does not have

B
not have

C
not having

D
had not had

Solution

Option A Ian the correct answer because “does” is the he/she/it form of “do “, so it is correct to say that “he” does not have money.
Option B Ian incorrect because it does include a verb.
Option C is incorrect because ‘not having’ needs to be preceded by “is” for its correct usage.
Option D is incorrect because it is in past perfect tense, while the statement is in present tense.
Question 3
1 / -0

Rewrite the following sentence using the correct tense of the verbs given in the brackets:

Sanchit (standing) across the road and (wait) for me. When he (see) me, he (wave) to me. I could not understand what he (say) because the moving vehicles (make) so much noise.

A
stood, was waiting, saw, had waved, say, made

B
were standing, wasited, seen, waved, said, make

C
was standing, was waiting, saw, waved, was saying, were making

D
had stood, waited, seen, waved, was saying, were making

Solution

Option C is the correct answer because the statement is in simple past tense, which is clear because the statement is indirect speech. As “was standing” is in simple past tense, hence all the others are also correct, and as he is describing an event in the past, it is correct to use simple past.
Option A is incorrect because “stood” that means he stood only in the past, but according to the speaker, he wasn’t standing and waiting. It would be correct if all the options were like.. “Such it stood across the road and waited for me”.
Option B is incorrect because only Such it was standing, “was” is past tense of “is”, and “were” is past of “are”, we’re is used for more than one person.
Option D is incorrect because “had stood” is past perfect tense which means he was standing and is standing with respect to the past, which is incorrect
Question 4
1 / -0

Hopefully, we will be able to complete the building before the rainy season sets in

Choose the option that indicates the error in the sentence.

A
Hopefully

B
Will be

C
Before

D
In

E
No error

Solution

The correct answer is E. The sentence has no error. The subject-verb is correct and so are the tenses. Part E, no error is correct.
Question 5
1 / -0

Identify the tense used in the following sentence:
We spoke to the officer concerned.

A
Simple Past

B
Past Perfect

C
Simple Future

D
Past Continuous

Solution

To identify the tense in a sentence, we must take a look at the verb and its form.
Option A: In the given sentence, 'spoke' is a simple past tense verb. The verb indicates a completed action in the past.
The simple past tense also indicates an action that completed in the past.
Hence, option A is correct.
Option B: Past perfect tense is used when one action has completed in the past, before another action commences. (We had spoken to the teachers when the principal entered the hall.) In the given sentence, one action is mentioned 'spoke to the officer'.
Option C: Simple future indicates an action that is yet to happen (We will speak), whereas the given sentence indicates an action that has already happened.
Option D: Past continuous indicates a continuous action that took place in the past (was speaking), but here the action isn't continuous. It indicates an action that was completed.
Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.
Question 6
1 / -0

Scientific advances over the last fifty years have led to revolutionary changes in health, agriculture and communication, and generally enhancing socio-economic development and the quality of our lives.

Choose the option that indicates the error in the sentence.

A
Have led

B
And

C
Enhancing

D
Lives

E
No error

Solution

The correct option is C. The sentences is in simple past. The word 'enhancing' must be 'enhanced' The word 'enhancing' is in present continuous and is not in keeping with the tense of the sentence. Hence part C is wrong.
Question 7
1 / -0

Identify the tense used in the following sentence:
I will give him a gift.

A
Simple Present

B
Simple Past

C
Present Continuous

D
Simple Future

Solution

Option D is the correct answer as the sentence is in the simple future tense. A simple way to identify this tense is that in the future tense the helping verbs 'will' or 'shall' is used with the base form of the verb, 'give' in this case.
Option A is incorrect because of the presence of the word 'will' in the sentence, which is used only in the future tense.
Option B is incorrect because for the sentence to be in the simple past tense the verb should also be in the past form, which is not the case here.
Option C is incorrect because when a sentence is the present continuous tense, the verb will be in the -ing form, but, as we can see here, the verb is in its base form.
Question 8
1 / -0

Identify the tense used in the following sentence:
She has eaten her food.

A
Simple Present

B
Present Perfect

C
Simple Past

D
Past Perfect

Solution

Here, 'has eaten' indicates the use of present perfect as it is used to indicate an action which started in the past and has continued up untill now.
Simple present is used to indicate a future event on a designated date as part of a plan.
Simple past indicates an action that has already been completed.
Past perfect is used to indicate a completed action of the past that happened before another event took place.
Question 9
1 / -0

Identify the tense used in the following sentence:
The teacher had spoken to the parents about the matter.

A
Past Continuous

B
Past Perfect Continuous

C
Future Perfect

D
Past Perfect

Solution

Here, 'had spoken' indicates past perfect. It is used to indicate a completed action of the past that happened before another event took place.
Past Continuous (was speaking) is used to indicate uncompleted action in the past (with or without time reference).
Past Perfect Continuous (had been speaking) is used to indicate an action in the past that began before a certain point in the past and continued up untill that time.
Future Perfect (will have spoken) is used to indicate an action that will be complete before another event takes place.
Question 10
1 / -0

Identify the tense used in the following sentence:
We had been watching a movie.

A
Past Perfect

B
Future Perfect

C
Past Perfect Continuous

D
Past Continuous

Solution

Here, 'had been watching' indicates Past Perfect Continuous. It is used to indicate an action in the past that began before a certain point in the past and continued up until that time.
Past Perfect (had watched) is used to indicate a completed action of the past that happened before another event took place.
Future Perfect (will have watched) is used to indicate an action that will be complete before another event takes place.
Past Continuous (was watching) is used to indicate uncompleted action in the past (with or without time reference).
