  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the statement at the underlined point:
    Jim is better at painting than he is at dancing.
    Solution
    The sentence is comparing how good Jim is at painting to how good he is at dancing. The words/phrases that are being compared should have the same grammatical form. This is called parallelism. Hence, the right answer is option D. 
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    The colour of the pendant was far brighter than the dress.
    Solution
    The sentence states a comparison between the colour of the pendant and the dress. The phrases in comparison should be parallel to each other in structure and form. The underlined phrase has omitted the main noun 'colour', on the basis of which the comparison is made. Hence option D is incorrect. Option B is correct because it is parallel in structure and context to the first phrase "colour of the pendant". Option A is incorrect because the noun is repeated and there can't be a comparison between the colour of the pendant and the pendant itself. Option C is incorrect because it's not mentioned that 'the colour of the pendant" is unoriginal, so the phrase is irrelevant to the context of the sentence.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    Those from South India claim that biryani from the south is better than the north because it contains a more delicious assortment of local spices.
    Solution
    The sentence suggests a comparison between biryani from two places, South India and North India. The part of the statement with the underlined phrase 'the north' is incorrect because biryanis from two different places are being compared, whereas this sentence compares the biryani of one place with another place and not with its biryani. Hence option D is incorrect because the underlined phrase is not parallel in structure to the first phrase "biryani from the south". Option C is correct because the phrase is parallel to the first phrase in structure and context. Option A is incorrect, by 'food' we mean food as a whole, whereas the comparison is made between a particular type of food, biryani. Option B does not specify 'what' in the north nor is it parallel in structure hence it's incorrect.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    The languages spoken in India are more numerous than other countries.
    Solution
    The nouns being compared in the given sentence are the languages of India with the languages of other countries in terms of number. The underlined phrase mentions only 'other countries' and misses out on their languages, hence option D is incorrect. In option B, we're shown the phrase 'those of other countries'. 'Those' demonstrates the phrase 'the languages' hence this is the correct option. In options A and C the phrases are incomplete. In A 'languages' is not mentioned, whereas in C 'countries' is not mentioned, so these two are incorrect.
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    Miami in the United States has a collection of Art Deco buildings larger than any other in the world.
    Solution
    The given sentence compares the 'Art Deco buildings in Miami' to 'all the Art Deco buildings in the world'. 'By using 'any other' we're replacing the phrase 'all the Art Deco buildings' hence option A is correct. Option B is incorrect because it does not contain the noun 'buildings' which is being compared in the first place. Option C does not specify what type of buildings in the world and it refers to all buildings, hence it's incorrect. Option D speaks about the collection but does not elaborate on what type of collection, hence it's ambiguous, which makes it incorrect.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    Despite living in the middle of a bustling city, Natalie would rather go on a countryside walk than viewing a film in the city center.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, the word 'than' is used, which shows a comparison. A comparison can be made between two or more things which are of the same nature or type. Here, the verb in part before than is go, which is a singular present form of the verb "go", as the noun Natalie is singular. Hence, the verb after than should also have singular present form. Thus, option B view is the right option.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Correct the sentence at the underlined point:
    In India, Coke is now more common than drinking fruit juice thanks to the liberalization of the market.
    Solution
    In the given sentence, a comparison is being made between two drinks and not the act of drinking those drinks. 'Coke' is to be compared with 'fruit juices' option B is correct and option D is incorrect. Option A is incorrect, because fruit drinks are different from fruit juices, and we can see that the sentence mentions 'fruit juices'. In option C, 'that' in 'that of fruit juices' is not clear what it refers to, so this option is wrong.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    Choose the option that best corrects the underlined words.
    Koala bears are in more danger from the threat of bushfires and pathogens than from other preying animals.

    Solution
    In the given statement, a comparison is made between what puts koala bears in more danger, 'threat of bushes and pathogens' or 'threat of other preying animals'. The underlined phrase 'other preying animals' misses out on 'threat of', hence option D is incorrect. 'That' is demonstrative of 'threat of' and hence option B is correct. 'Those' in option A is incorrect because it refers to a plural noun and over here the noun 'threat' is a singular noun. Option C also misses out on 'threat' or the demonstrative of 'threat' and is an incorrect option.
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    Correct the underlined part of the sentence (if necessary):
    America's tallest mountain is higher than Britain's.
    Solution
    By adding an apostrophe and s to Britain we are contracting the statement from 'Britain's mountain' to 'Britain's. Hence no change is required, option D is correct. The country America ends with an ''s'' which means the mountain that belongs to America, hence the other country being compared, Britain should also end the same way, with an apostrophe. The structure of both parts should run parallel since the options A and B don't have the same order as the first part of the sentence, they're both incorrect. Option C is incorrect as the absence of the apostrophe makes the sentence illogical and incomplete in its meaning (according to option C, the comparison is between America's tallest mountain and Britain).
  • Question 10
    1 / -0
    Identify the option that corrects the underlined part of the sentence:

    Neapolitan pizza is typically made with mozzarella cheese unlike other parts of the world where more diverse ingredients are used.
    Solution
    In this sentence, we are comparing pizzas. So, 'other parts of the world' and Neapolitan pizza do not make a logical comparison. The correct comparison is between 'Neapolitan pizza' and 'pizza in other parts of the world.'
