B
the outer limits that

C

Solution

This sentence tells the outer limits of sociological analysis can penetrate. The correct option is B. Option C and Option D are grammatically incorrect. "About" and "just" cannot be written simultaneously. Option A is incorrect as it does not make any sense. The best alternative is Option B.

A
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.

B
Children begin by loving their parents, as they grow older they judge them, sometimes they forgive them.

C

D

There are three independent clauses in the sentence. Indepenent clauses can be joined by a conjunction or by using a semicolon.

Only option A satisfies this rule.
Question 5
1 / -0

Choose the option which contains a mistake.

A
Privatization generally represents

B
an ideological response

C
to the perceived problem

D
in the public sector

Solution

"To the perceived problems" is the correct phrase to be used in the sentence since there are multiple problems. Option c) is the correct answer.
Question 6
1 / -0

Which of the following four sentence is grammatically correct?

A
Neither the king nor his ministers desires war.

B
Neither king nor his ministers desires war.

C
Neither the king nor his ministers desire war.

D
Neither king nor his ministers desire war.

Solution

When the construct 'neither...nor' is used, the verb should be in agreement with the subject that is placed after 'nor'. In this case, it is 'ministers', which is a plural subject. So, the verb should be singular - 'desire'. Also, the definite article 'the' should be used before 'king'. Option c) is the correct answer.
Question 7
1 / -0

Choose the best way of writing the sentence.

A. Any action of government to reduce the systemic risk inherent in financial markets will also reduce the risks that private operators perceive and thereby encourage excessive hedging.

B. Any action by government to reduce the systemic risk inherent in financial markets will also reduce the risks that private operators perceive and thereby encourage excessive gambling.

C. Any action by government to reduce the systemic risk inherent in financial markets will also reduce the risks that private operators perceive and thereby encourages excessive gambling.

D. Any action of government to reduce the systemic risk inherent in financial markets will also reduce the risks that private operators perceive and thereby encourages excessive gambling.

A
A

B
B

C
C

D
D

Solution

The correct preposition to be used before government is 'by' and not 'of'. So, options a) and d) are incorrect.

In the second part of the sentence, which is in simple future tense, the grammatically correct form is "thereby encourage" and not "thereby encourages". So, option b) is the correct answer.
Question 8
1 / -0

Choose the statement that expresses the idea most correctly.

A
The best part of the programme is the dances.

B
The best part of the programme are the dances.

C
The best part of the programme are the dance.

D
The best parts of the programme is the dances.

Solution

The verb is/are refers to the noun "best part". As the phrase "best part" is singular, 'is' must be used here.

Hence, option A is correct.
Question 9
1 / -0

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

A
Looking back, our inability to confirm speakers gave us the maximum headaches.

B
Looking at it with hindsight our inability to confirm speakers gave us the maximum headaches.

C
On hindsight we find that our inability to confirm speakers gave us the maximum headaches.

D
On hindsight, our inability to confirm speakers gave us the maximum headaches.

Solution

The proper usage is 'in hindsight...'. Also, 'looking with hindsight' is incorrect usage. We can rule out options b), c) and d). The sentence in option a) is the most concise and clear construction of the sentence.
Question 10
1 / -0

Which of the following four sentence is grammatically correct?

A
The Excel Company has greatly enhanced it's advertising expense.

B
The Excel Company has greatly increased its advertising expense.

C
The Excel Company has greatly enhanced its advertising expense.

D
The Excel Company has greatly increased it's advertising expense.

Solution

It's is a concise way of writing 'it is'. We can rule out options a) and d) because of this. The meaning of 'enhance' is 'increase the quality of'. However, in this sentence, there is only an increase in expense. So, 'increase' is a more suitable word in this context. Option b) is the correct answer.
