  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    Direction: Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (E). Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.

    The chairman had not taken (A)/ any decision until (B)/ he had studied (C)/ the case thoroughly. (D)/ No error(E)

    Solution

    In this sentence, there are two action verbs. The action verb tells us what the subject of our clause or sentence is doing-physically or mentally.

    E.g. - Marie walked to school. (Walked tells us what Marie was doing.)

    E.g. - Louis thought about the math problem. (Thought tells us what Louis was doing (mentally).)

    First action verb – “he had studied” is the past perfect tense. Second action verb – “The chairman had not taken” 

    Since the first action word is in past perfect tense, the second action word should also be in simple past tense to maintain it's past perfect sense meaning i.e. to indicate something that has occurred in the simple past contrary to past perfect, which shows the past of the past (he had studied).

    The correct sentence is:

    The chairman did not take any decision until he had studied the case thoroughly.

    If I would have realised (A)/ what a bad driver you were, (B)/ I would not have (C)/ come with you. (D)/ No error (E)

    Solution

    In this sentence, it is important to understand the properties of conditionals (if-clause statements). Now, the correct construction says that if ‘would + have + 3rd form of the verb is used in the main clause, which in this case is ‘would not have come’. Then, the if clause should contain had + 3rd form of verb, which is not the case in this sentence. So, ‘would have realised’ shall be replaced by ‘had realised’. 

     The correct sentence is :-

     If I had realized what a bad driver you were, I would not have come with you.

    None of the seven (A) contenders who have been given (B) the chance to join the (C) league plays confidently. (D) No error (E)

    Solution

    No improvement is required here. 

    This is because both plays and play in the (D) part are correct.

    None of the seven contenders who have been given the chance to join the league here, who is a relative pronoun for 7 contenders and after that the verb plays reflect the subject none which can take both singular and plural in any case. The single rule for none: In pure form, None takes only singular e.g., None likes him.

    Within two years, (A)/ the sisters had (B)/ losted their parents in (C) a tragic accident. (D)/ No error (E)

    Solution

    The error lies in the third part of the sentence. 

    In the given sentence, the usage of tenses is inappropriate. Here, verbs are discussed here, i.e. lost. Remember that, 'lost' remains same in all the tenses. Thus, replace 'losted' with 'lost'.

    Correct Sentence- Within two years, the sister had lost their parents in a tragic accident.

    I would rather (A) / pay for my (B)/ education than financial (C) / aid. (D) / No error (E)

    Solution

    On analysing the sentence, we find that it is based on the parallel structure problem. Parallel structure means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more words or ideas are of equal importance.

    When analyse part (A) and (B) of the sentence we find that a noun (education) and a verb (pay), but in part (C) and (D) of the sentence, there is only a noun (financial aid). We can’t find any verb out there.

    The correct sentence is:-

    I would rather pay for my education than receive/get financial aid.

  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    Direction: Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given five alternatives.

    With remote working becoming a norm, the insurance industry is likely to see a spurt in demand for cyber insurance, according to a senior IRDAI official. "In the long term, the transition to virtual workspaces resulting from COVID 19 may increase the demand for cyber insurance and further the evolution of cyber insurance products," Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) Executive Director Suresh Mathur said. He was speaking at a virtual seminar organized by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII). Mathur said the demand for cyber insurance coverage will come from the government entities and large organizations that are operating in higher hazard sectors. He said with a business interruption at the center of property and casualty losses, there will be pressure on insurers to cover claims. "The impact of COVID 19 on business interruptions claims will largely depend on the policy wordings," he noted. He said the evolving situation may also force a review of the pricing of the existing insurance products in the light of changing claim experience in each segment. Insurers are confronting a new reality in the COVID-19 situation as a long-term disruption to the customers, employees, investors, and suppliers. The impact of the pandemic on insurance products will vary according to the cover insurers offer, Mathur said. "While health (insurance) products are likely to bear a direct impact, property and casualty (insurance) products, covering business interruptions, will witness different degrees of impact as the result of lockdowns," he mentioned. Mathur believes that the Covid19 outbreak is unlikely to have an adverse impact on the financial results of insurance companies. The only two segments affected in the country are health and travel, he said. "Despite the increased possibility of claims under health and travel segments, most of the general insurers will remain unaffected because of the improved loss ratio in the automobile segment," he said. Mathur said going forward, insurers can adopt a phased approach to identify and address themes that are disrupting their existing business. "There is a need for them (insurers) to evolve long-term strategies with business models fostering virtual interactions across the value chain, a lean and agile technology architecture and enterprise and cyber resilience," he suggested.
