The sentence as such requires no change, except the demarcation of the clauses by commas, for the word" stunts" is qualified by "which ...him" and placed together. Hence, Option B is correct. The rest of the options do not completely adhere to the goal, hence incorrect.

Shipwrecked qualifies the sailors. Hence, these should be placed together. Therefore, Option A is correct, as the word shipwrecked is place in the wrong part of the clause. The rest of the options do not contain any errors in the sentence, hence these are not suitable.

The reason why I left is confidential.

A
Adverb Clause of Purpose or Reason

B
Adverb Clause of Manner

Question 8
1 / -0

Select the most appropriate word which can substitute the given description:
Matter written by hand.

A
Manuscript

B
Sculpture

C

Solution

A 'manuscript' is a book, document, or piece of music written by hand rather than typed or printed. Hence, option A is correct.

'Sculpture' is the art of making two- or three-dimensional representation of something. It is done by carving stone or wood or by casting metal or plaster. 'Inscription' means 'engraving'. It refers to words that are written or cut in something (like stone). 'Monument' is a statue, building, or other structure erected to commemorate a notable person or event.
As the meanings of the above three words, do not mean the same as 'matter written by hand', options B, C and D are incorrect.

D
Daniel's lost keys were found by his child in a drawer in the desk on which the dog biscuits lay eaten.

Solution

The clause "Daniel's...found" qualifies "his child" and "the desk...eaten" qualifies "drawer". Hence these should be grouped together. Therefore Option D is correct. The rest of the options do not adhere to the goal, hence incorrect.
