A
When you have good health, one should feel fortunate.

B
When you have good health, you should feel fortunate.

C
When one have good health, you should feel fortunate.

D
When one has good health, he should feel fortunate.

Solution

If "one" is used to refer a person in the dependent clause, the same word must also be used in the independent clause. Options A, C and D violate this rule.

Question 2
1 / -0

Choose the option that conforms most closely to Standard English usage.

A
The running of large businesses consist of getting somebody to make something that somebody else sold to somebody else for more than its cost.

B
The running of a large business consists of getting somebody to make something that somebody else will sell to somebody else for more than it costs.

C
The running of a large business consists of getting somebody to sell something that somebody else made for more than it cost.

D
The running of large businesses consist of getting somebody to make something else that somebody else will sell to somebody else for more than it costs.

Solution

Option a and d are gramatically incorrect as "The running of large business" is singular and hence should be followed by "consists." Option c doesn't make any sense as it is contextually incorrect. Option b is the most appropriate.
Question 3
1 / -0

In India the talent is prodigious, and it increases ___.

A
each year

B
year by year

C
annually

D
progressively

Solution

Talent cannot be measured. So the talent cannot be measured annually or each year. Between progressively and year by year, the latter one is a good fit.
Question 4
1 / -0

Choose the option that conforms most closely to Standard English usage.

A
Creativity in any field is regarded not only as valuable for itself but also as a service to the nation.

B
Creativity in any field is not regarded only as valuable on its own, but also as a service to the nation.

C
Creativity, in any field, is not only regarded as valuable, but also as a service to the nation.

D
Creativity in any field is regarded not only as valuable in itself but also as a service to the nation.

Solution

The correct usage would be "The creativity is regarded not only as"

Or in order to infer the correct usage we would break the sentence into 2 parts "Creativity in any field is regarded as valuable in itself and also regarded as a service to the nation".
Question 5
1 / -0

Choose the option which contains a mistake.

A
A feasibility survey has now

B
been completed in India to establish

C
a network of felicitate contacts

D
between small and medium enterprises.

Solution

The word "felicitate" in the third sentence is used as a verb. But, the word that describes a noun "contacts", must be an adjective.

The word used must be "felicitated".
Question 6
1 / -0

Choose the option which contains a mistake.

A
This has slowed the progress

B
of reforms in many countries

C
because the choice of either of the extreme

D
positions inevitably invite criticism.

Solution

The verb "invite" does not agree with the singular noun "choice". Hence, the correct usage of the verb is "invites".
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the statement that expresses the idea most correctly.

A
Either you or he have to be here.

B
Either you or he has to be here.

C
Neither you nor he have to be here.

D
Neither you nor they has to be here.

Solution

"Either ... or" and "Neither .... nor" are followed by the verb that agrees with the noun nearest to it.

In sentences A, C and D, the verbs do not agree with the nound nearest to it. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

There is no need of the word 'to' between 'returned' and 'home' in sentence A.

In statement B, the correct use of the phrase is 'hands on' and not 'hand on'.

In statement D, there should be a hyphen or comma after the word Shaliach ( a Shaliach - a sort of recruiter to Minneapolis.).
