  • Question 9
    4 / -1

    Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.

    He loses his tempers on the slightest provocation.

    Solution

    The correct answer is- his tempers on.

    There are some uncountable nouns that don't take the articles 'a/an', many, few, and plural form:​

    • Furniture, scenery, luggage, temper, hair, knowledge, equipment, pottery, music, jewellery, etc.​

    Example:

    ​The sceneries at my friend's house enchanted me. (incorrect)

    The pieces of scenery at my friend's house enchanted me. (correct)

  • Question 10
    4 / -1

    Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.

    We must plan how can we cope with the present situation.

    Solution

    The correct answer is how can we.

    Let's look at some conjunctions that contain the inverted form of the verb apart from the interrogative sentences: 

    'No sooner...than', 'Hardly/scarcely...when', etc.

    For example:

    Hardly had I left the cinema hall than I saw the actor himself. (incorrect)

    Hardly had I left the cinema hall when I saw the actor himself. (correct)

    Since the given sentence is assertive and doesn't contain any of the above-mentioned conjunctions, the use of the inverted form of the verb is wrong in the sentence.
