    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with an appropriate verb.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that completes the sentence correctly.

    No member of the team ______ do it.
    Solution
    'Couldn't help' needs an object to follow it hence it cannot be used in the given sentence. Apart from that, the given sentence itself is in negative construction, and 'couldn't help' is also negative, and using two negatives in the given sentence will make it grammatically incorrect hence it does not fit in the blank. 'Stopped' followed by 'do it' is grammatically incorrect. 'Wasn't capable' has to be followed by 'of'. and it is also a negative construction hence it does not fit in the given sentence
    So, the most appropriate answer is D) saw him.

    Fill in the blank with an appropriate verb.
    Either Hari or I ______ at mistake today.

    According to subject-verb agreement, a collective noun takes a singular verb when the collection is thought of as one whole; and plural verb when the individuals of which it is composed are thought of.
    Option C is correct because the subject mentioned in the sentence is a collective noun and it takes a singular verb ( was) as the collection is thought of as whole and also the sentence is in the past tense . Therefore, the verb taken will also be in past form.
    Whereas option A and B are plural verb. Hence these options are incorrect and in option D the verb is of singular form but of past tense. Therefore option D is also incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct word(s) that correctly completes the sentence.
    The poet and the novelist ______ invited by the Prime Minister.
    Solution
    In this sentence, we would be understanding the subject verb agreement. A general rule is present, which states that there is usage of a plural verb with two or more subjects when they are connected by "and". In this sentence the two subjects are "the poet" and "the novelist". Thus, we would be using a plural verb.
    "Is" is a singular verb.
    "Are" is a plural verb. It is the correct answer.
    "Have" and "has" are root verbs that are used alongside pronouns. Both of them are used for present tense. They are the wrong choices

    In the given sentence singular verb is required as "every" is mentioned and the object mentioned is in singular form therefore demonstrative adjective will also be in singular form.
    Option A is correct because it has both singular verb and demonstrative adjective.
    Whereas, option B contains plural verb and pronoun; option C contains singular verb but has no demonstrative adjective; option D contains plural verb and possessive pronoun.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the correct word(s) that correctly completes the sentence.

    In this sentence we would be understanding the subject verb agreement. One of the rules state that two singular subjects connected by or, either/or, or neither/nor require a singular verb. This particular sentence follows the given rule. As the sentence is in past tense, we would be using a singular verb used in past tense.
    was is a singular verb used in past tense
    were is a plural verb used in past tense
    has and have are again root verbs which are used alongside pronouns. They are the wrong options.
    Option A is correct. 
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Fill the appropriate option to complete the sentence:

    Rahul and Rohan ______ zoos. They didn't come with us when we went to the National Park last month.
    Solution
    In this sentence, we would be understanding the subject verb agreement. The subjects of this sentence did not visit the national park last month which means animals and zoo is not of their liking. This proves that the option should be in negative sense. The words "don't" and "doesn't" are negative words. The words “do” and “does” mean the same, that is, “to carry out or to perform an action". “Do” is used when referring to two or more persons or things while “does” is used when referring to a single person or thing.
    This sentence has two persons thus don't is the correct option.
    Option B is the correct option.

    1 / -0
    Fill the appropriate option in the blank:

    Helen is very impatient. She                .
    Solution
    In this sentence, we would be understanding the subject verb agreement. The subject of this sentence is impatient which means waiting is not of her liking. This proves that the verb should be in negative sense when comes to waiting. The words "don't" and "doesn't" are negative words. The words “do” and “does” mean the same, that is, “to carry out or to perform an action.” “Do” is used in the first and second persons; “does” is used in the third person. This sentence is in third person thus doesn't is the correct option.
    Option C is the correct option.
