Question 1
1 / -0

Since the advent of cable television, at the beginning of this decade, the entertainment industry took a giant stride forward in our country.

A
this decade saw the entertainment industry taking

B
this decade, the entertainment industry has taken

C
this decade, the entertainment industry had taken

D
this decade, the entertainment industry took

Solution

The context indicates that the action has taken place over a period of time from some time in the past to the present. Thus, we need to use present perfect tense.

The appropriate form of the verb would be "has taken". Thus, option B.
Question 2
1 / -0

The MP rose up to say that, in her opinion, she thought the Women's Reservation Bill should be passed on unanimously.

A
rose to say that she thought the Women's Reservation Bill should be passed

B
rose up to say that, the Women's Reservation Bill should be passed on

C
rose to say that, in her opinion, she thought that the Women's Reservation Bill should be passed

D
rose to say that, in her opinion, the Women's Reservation Bill should be passed on

Solution

To pass on means to die or expire. Hence, it would be incorrect in the given context. Hence, we need to use the verb "passed". Thus, we can eliminate option B and D.

"In her opinion" and "she thought" mean the same thing. Hence, we can eliminate option C as it contains repetition.

Thus, option A is the grammatically correct option.
Question 3
1 / -0

I am always the first to admit that I have not accomplished anything that I ___ achieve five years ago.

A
set out to

B
went to

C
thought to

D
thought of

Solution

The things which we want to accomplish are set out. So the correct usage is "I am always the first to admit that I have not accomplished anything that I set out to achieve five years ago."
Question 4
1 / -0

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

A
From the sixteenth century onwards, people started feeling disdainful and self-conscious about their body and its products that led to a heightened focus on emotional and bodily regulations.

B
The heightened focus on controlling the body and emotions comes from disdain and selfconsciousness about the body and its products, found in the sixteenth century.

C
From the sixteenth century onwards, a growing disdain for and self-consciousness about the body and its products took hold, leading to a heightened focus on emotional and bodily regulation.

D
The heightened focus on emotional and bodily regulations started from the sixteenth century onwards, when people felt disdain and self-consciousness about the body and its products.

Solution

Option a is incorrect as the usage of "feeling disdainful" is incorrect. Option d is also incorrect due to the usage of "felt disdain." Option b is having a tense error as there is a present form used in the sentence.
Question 5
1 / -0

Some sentences are grammatically incorrect or inappropriate. Select the option that indicates the grammatically correct and appropriate sentence(s).

A. Large reductions in the ozone layer, which sits about 15-30 km above the Earth, take place each winter over the polar regions, especially the Antarctic, as low temperatures allow the formation of stratospheric clouds that assist chemical reactions breaking down ozone.

Question 6
1 / -0

Choose the best way of writing the sentence.

A. The main problem with the notion of price discrimination is that it is not always a bad thing, but that it is the monopolist who has the power to decide who is charged what price.

B. The main problem with the notion of price discrimination is not that it is always a bad thing, it is the monopolist who has the power to decide who is charged what price.

C. The main problem with the notion of price discrimination is not that it is always a bad thing, but that it is the monopolist who has the power to decide who is charged what price.

D. The main problem with the notion of price discrimination is not it is always a bad thing, but that it is the monopolist who has the power to decide who is charged what price.

A
A

B

C

D

Solution

The idiom used in these sentences is “not __, but __”. So, the two phrases that follow ‘not’ and ‘but’ must be parallel.

In sentence A, the phrase after ‘but’ starts with the subject but the phrase after ‘not’ doesn’t. Hence, sentence A has a parallelism error. There are no other errors in sentence A. Option A is wrong.

All the options that have the same error can be eliminated. In sentence B, “not that it is” and “but it is” are not parallel. Hence, option B is wrong.

Similarly, option D is also wrong because the phrases “not it is” and “but that it is” are not parallel.

This error is corrected in option C. “Not that it is” and “but that it is” are parallel and hence option C is the correct answer.
Question 7
1 / -0

Which amongst the four alternatives given below, is the most concise and clear?

A
His definition of reality has first to be made coincident with the point of view adopted by the author whom he is discussing.

B
His definition of reality has first to be made coincident with the point of view adopted by the author who he is discussing.

C
His definition has to first agree with the point of view adopted by the author he is discussing.

D
His definition of reality has first to coincide with the point of view adopted by the author he is discussing.

Solution

The correct option is C. The agreement of someone else's point of view is correct rather than the coincidence or coincide with the point of view.
Question 8
1 / -0

Which amongst the four alternatives given below, is the most concise and clear?

A
Finally, there will be unexpected, unanticipated implicational consequences of this development concerning human life.

B
This development concerning human life will finally have unanticipated consequences.

C
This development concerning human life will finally have unexpected and unanticipated implications.

D
This development concerning human life will finally have unexpected implications.

Solution

The use of the word unexpected in option c) is redundant. Similarly, the use of the word in the sentence in option a) is also redundant. Between b) and d), option b) is better. The development will lead to unexpected/unanticipated results i.e., consequences and not implications. Option b) is the correct answer.
Question 9
1 / -0

Which amongst the four alternatives given below, is the most concise and clear?

A
There is no question of it not being possible to freeze you to death and wake you up as and when you want.

B
There is no question of it not being possible to freeze you to death and wake you up whenever you want.

C
Undoubtedly, it should be possible to freeze you to death and wake you up whenever you want.

D
Undoubtedly, it should be possible to freeze you to death and wake you up when you want.

Solution

Options a) and b) are verbose and can be ruled out in comparison with options c) and d). In d), the mistake is the usage of the word 'when'. It should be 'whenever' as used correctly in c). The use of 'whenever' conveys the meaning that the process is repetitive. So, option c) is the correct answer.
Question 10
1 / -0

Which of the following four sentence is grammatically correct?

A
Cannot one do what one likes with one's own?

B
Cannot one do that one likes to do with his own?

C
Cannot one do that one likes with his own?

D
Cannot one do what he likes with his own?

Solution

Since 'one' is used in the sentence, it's pronoun form should be one's. So, the correct sentence is "Cannot one do what one likes with one's own?". Option a) is the correct answer.
