Question 1
1 / -0.25

Sheetal as well as (a) some of her friends (b) have fallen in love with a hunky fellow who (c) is the eldest son of an I.A.S. officer (d) .

A
Sheetal as well as

B
some of her friends

C
have fallen in love with a hunky fellow, who

D
is the eldest son of an I.A.S. officer

Solution

- Sheetal as well as some of her friends: This part of the sentence introduces the main subjects, which are Sheetal and her friends.
- Have fallen in love with a hunky fellow, who: This part of the sentence describes the action or situation that the subjects (Sheetal and her friends) are experiencing. They have all fallen in love with a particular person, who has some specific characteristics.
- Is the eldest son of an I.A.S. officer: This part of the sentence provides additional information about the person Sheetal and her friends have fallen in love with. It tells us that he is the eldest son of an Indian Administrative Service (I.A.S.) officer. This detail helps to create a more complete picture of the person they are attracted to.
Question 2
1 / -0.25

Agnes never loses a single possession.(a)/ Everyone knows what belongs to her(b)/, for each pen, pencil, and paperclip have a tiny flag attached (c)/with Agnes 'full name on it. (d)/

A
Agnes never loses a single possession.

B
Everyone knows what belongs to her

C
for each pen, pencil, and paperclip have a tiny flag attached

D
with Agnes 'full name on it.
Solution
Answer Explanation:
Option A is incorrect because it simply states that Agnes never loses any of her possessions. It does not explain the reason behind it.
Option B is also incorrect as it only tells us that everyone knows which items belong to Agnes, but it doesn't mention how they know.
Option C is the correct answer because it reveals the reason Agnes never loses her belongings and how everyone knows what belongs to her. She attaches tiny flags to each pen, pencil, and paperclip, making them easily identifiable as hers.
Option D is not the correct answer since it only provides additional information about the flags mentioned in option C. It does not directly answer the question.
Question 3
1 / -0.25

Where was the earrings that (a)/ I left by the bathroom sink? Oh no!(b)/ That stupid cat has swatted them(c)/ down the drain again! (d)

A
Where was the earrings that

B
I left by the bathroom sink? Oh no!

C
That stupid cat has swatted them

D
down the drain again!

Solution

The sentence with a grammatical error is:
A: Where was the earrings that
- The subject "earrings "is plural, so the verb should also be plural.
- The correct sentence should be: "Where were the earrings that "
Question 4
1 / -0.25

Someone —perhaps Emmanuel(a)/ or Paul —know the right(b)/ wine to serve with (c)/earthworm lasagna.(d)/

A
Someone —perhaps Emmanuel

B
or Paul —know the right

C
wine to serve with

D
earthworm lasagna.

Solution

Explanation:

The given sentence is a combination of different phrases, and the question asks to identify the correct part of the sentence. In this case, the correct answer is:

- b. or Paul —know the right

In Part b, "or Paul —know the right,"there is a grammatical error. The verb "know "should be "knows "to agree with the singular subject (either Emmanuel or Paul). The corrected sentence would be:
Someone —perhaps Emmanuel, or Paul —knows the right wine to serve with earthworm lasagna.
Question 5
1 / -0.25

These scissors (a)/ is so dull that I 'm(b)/ not sure you could (c)/slice butter with them! (d)

A
These scissors

B
is so dull that I 'm

C
not sure you could

D
slice butter with them!

Solution

The correct answer is: B: is so dull that I 'm

Explanation:

The error in this sentence is related to subject-verb agreement. In the given sentence, "These scissors "is the subject and "is "is the verb. Since "scissors "is a plural noun, the verb should also be in the plural form. Therefore, the correct verb to use is "are "instead of "is ".

The corrected sentence should be:

- These scissors (a) / are so dull that I 'm (b) / not sure you could (c) / slice butter with them! (d)
Question 6
1 / -0.25

The good jewellery Dad (a)/gave Sara for graduation cost more (b)/than the cheap leather wallet that David (c)/got as his reward for finishing high school. (d)/

A
The good jewellery Dad

B
gave Sara for graduation cost more

C
than the cheap leather wallet that David

D
got as his reward for finishing high school.

Solution

The correct answer to this question is B . The reason for this is because:
- This part of the sentence indicates the comparison between the two gifts.
- It states that the good jewelry Dad gave to Sara for her graduation was more expensive than the cheap leather wallet that David received.
- The focus of the sentence is on the cost difference between the two gifts.
Question 7
1 / -0.25

Physics have proven (a)/to be Jerry 's easiest subject this semester. He(b)/ brings Carol, the lab assistant, an oatmeal-raisin cookie, and,(c)/ as his reward, she finishes his report. (d)/

A
Physics have proven

B
to be Jerry 's easiest subject this semester. He

C
brings Carol, the lab assistant, an oatmeal-raisin cookie, and,

D
as his reward, she finishes his report.
Solution
Explanation:
The error in this sentence is in part (a), where it says "Physics have proven." The correct form should be:
Corrected (a): Physics has proven
The subject "Physics" is considered singular, so the verb should also be in its singular form "has" instead of "have." The corrected sentence should read:
Physics has proven to be Jerry's easiest subject this semester. He brings Carol, the lab assistant, an oatmeal-raisin cookie, and, as his reward, she finishes his report.
Question 8
1 / -0.25

At Wendy 's, all of the dryers (a)/gobbles six quarters (b)/ before spinning (c)/wet clothes dry. (d)

A
At Wendy 's, all of the dryers

B
gobbles six quarters

C
before spinning

D
wet clothes dry.

Solution

The correct answer is B: gobbles six quarters Explanation:- The verb "gobbles" is incorrect in this context as it refers to eating quickly or greedily, which is not relevant to the functioning of a dryer.- Instead, the verb should be "takes" or "requires," which would better describe the action of the dryer accepting the quarters to start its operation.A better sentence would be:At Wendy's, all of the dryers- take six quarters- before spinning- wet clothes dry.
Question 9
1 / -0.25

At Wendy 's, each of the industrial washing machines (a)/rock so forcefully during the spin cycle (b)/that new patrons dash outside, (c)/convinced that an earthquake is shaking the building. (d)

A
At Wendy 's, each of the industrial washing machines

B
rock so forcefully during the spin cycle

C
that new patrons dash outside,

D
convinced that an earthquake is shaking the building

Solution

Answer Explanation: The sentence is divided into four parts:A: At Wendy's, each of the industrial washing machines - This part introduces the subject of the sentence, which is the industrial washing machines at Wendy's.B: rock so forcefully during the spin cycle - This part describes the action of the washing machines during the spin cycle, and it is the part of the sentence that requires correction.- The verb "rock" should be replaced with "rocks" because the subject "each" refers to a singular noun, and the verb should agree with it in number.- The corrected sentence part should be: "rocks so forcefully during the spin cycle."C: that new patrons dash outside, - This part of the sentence explains the consequence of the washing machines rocking forcefully and is grammatically correct.D: convinced that an earthquake is shaking the building - This part of the sentence further explains the patrons' reaction to the washing machines and is also grammatically correct.In conclusion, the part of the sentence that needs correction is part B. The verb "rock" should be replaced with "rocks" to agree with the singular subject "each."
Question 10
1 / -0.25

Everyone at Wendy 's, even Myra and old Mrs. Webster(a)/, wish that she could (b)/afford her own washer and dryer (c)/at home(d)/

A
Everyone at Wendy 's, even Myra and old Mrs. Webster,

B
wish that she could

C
none of these

D
at home

Solution

In the given sentence, the correct sequence of parts would be:- A: Everyone at Wendy's, even Myra and old Mrs. Webster,- B: wish that she could- E: afford her own washer and dryer- D: at homeThe sentence can be rephrased as:Everyone at Wendy's, even Myra and old Mrs. Webster, - wish that she could- afford her own washer and dryer- at homeThe correct answer is C because none of the options fit between 'wish that she could' and 'at home'. The sentence is complete with 'afford her own washer and dryer' as a part of it.
