  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    The following sentence has not been edited. There is one error in the line. Pick the option with the incorrect word and its correction from the ones given below.

    The others parents were equally friendly.
    Solution
    When 'other' is used as a determiner, it does not have a plural form but when it is used to refer to more than one person, it assumes a plural form.
    If it has to be used in the plural form, others is correctly written as others'.
    This eliminates option D). Option B) may be ruled out since using 'are' instead of 'were' would change the tense of the original statement. Option C) is incorrect because if we use the word 'parent', which is singular, the sentence becomes grammatically incorrect.
    So, the most appropriate answer is A) incorrect= others, correct= other
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    The sentence given has one error. Choose the option that has the incorrect word with the correction against it.

    They tried there best to persuade their fathers.
    Solution
    Here, words like 'they', 'their fathers' indicate that there is more than one subject involved. So, option B) is incorrect. Option D) the does not fit correctly into the sentence. 'Theirs' is incorrect because it refers to something belonging to them. 'Best' is not a possession. So, option C) is also incorrect. Hence, the correct answer is option A) incorrect= there, correct= their.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    The following sentence has not been edited. There is one error in the line. Select the option that has the incorrect word and the correction against it.

    There are no hope for the future. 
    Solution
    Here, 'future' is the subject and it is used in singular form. So, the verb also needs to be in the singular form. The incorrect word in this sentence is 'are' because the noun 'hope' is not plural. This eliminates options B) and C). Option A) is incorrect because 'has being' is grammatically incorrect in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is option D) incorrect= are, correct= is.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    In the following sentence, one word has been omitted. Pick the option that has the missing word along with the words that come after it and before it. Remember the conjunction we use should highlight result.

    I went to buy a magnifying glass I wanted to study palmistry.
    Solution
    'As' and 'since' are used when we want to focus more on the result than on the reason and 'because' is used when we want to focus more on the reason than on the result. In the given sentence, the subject went to buy a magnifying glass (result) as he wanted to learn palmistry (reason). This means that in 'as' and 'since' usage, we already know the reason unlike in a 'because' usage sentence. Between 'since' and 'as' , 'as ' is used to indicate a simultaneous occurrence. So, the most appropriate snwer is option C) Glass as I. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    The following sentence has not been edited. There is one error in the line. Pick the option that has the incorrect word and the correction against it. 

    It was a difficult subject as they saw no point of working on it.
    Solution
    'As' is used to connect the reason with the result in a sentence. However, in the given sentence, 'not seeing the point of working on it' is not the reason for 'the subject being difficult'.  This eliminates option C). 'Because' is used as a coordinating conjunction to join two parts of a sentence when the reason is very important. 'Since' is used when the reason is already known. This eliminates options B) and D). 'So' is used to show the consequence of something and is the most appropriate word to use in place of 'as' in the sentence. The correct answer, therefore, is option A).
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    In the sentence given below, one word has been omitted. Select the option that has the missing word and the words that come before it and after it.

    They are quick get away when we come too close.
    Solution
    'To' is the apt choice as a preposition in the given sentence, as the verb 'get' is in the simple present form and should be preceded by to-infinitive to convey the meaning in the sentence.

    Options A, B and D are not relevant in the given context, and do not add meaning to the sentence.

    Therefore option C is the correct answer.
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    The following sentence has not been edited. There is one error in the line. Pick the option that has the incorrect word and its correction.

    When Vijay entered the cinema hall, the film had start.
    Solution
    Here, the word 'entered' indicates that the sentence is in the past tense. So, the entire sentence should maintain the past tense. However, the word 'start' is in the present tense so, it should be changed to its past participle form, 'started'. Hence, the most appropriate answer is option A) incorrect= start, correct= started. The other options do not make grammatically correct sentences.
