His father, not his brothers, _______ there to attend the wedding.

A
has

B
have been

C

D

E

Solution

The subject of the sentence is 'father', which is singular. So, 'is' (singular verb) is to be used.
Question 6
1 / -0

Select the correct option to complete a grammatical and idiomatic sentence.

Send the letter ____ post ____ my Mumbai address.

A
in, at

B

C

D
in, for

E
in, at

Solution

A letter is 'addressed to' someone but is sent 'at' an address. 'Post' (the official service or system that delivers letters and parcels) is used as a means for sending or transporting the letters; so 'by' will be used in the first blank.
Question 7
1 / -0

The Chairman is ill and we’ll have to ________ the meeting for a few days.

A
put on

B
put up

C
put away

D
put off

E
None of these

Solution

Let's understand the meanings of the given phrasal verbs:

Put off = to change the time or date of something so that it happens later than originally planned, especially because of a problem

Put on = to cover a part of your body with a piece of clothing or jewellery so that you are wearing it

Put up = to increase the value or price of something; to let someone stay in your house

Put away = to put something in the place where you usually keep it when you are not using it; to eat or drink a lot of something

The sentence talks about shifting the date of a meeting due to the illness of the chairmen. So, the correct phrasal verb here is "put off".
Question 8
1 / -0

Select the correct word or phrase to complete a grammatical and idiomatic sentence.

As soon as the visitors' dishonest purpose was discovered, he was ___ the door.

A
show with

B
shown to

C
shown

D

E

Solution

'Show the door' means 'to tell someone to leave'. No preposition is required with 'shown'.
Question 9
1 / -0

Select the best option to fill up the blank.

Occupying about 75 percent of dry air, ___________ in the protoplasm of all living matter.

A
the colourless gas nitrogen is also present

B
which are colourless gases present such as nitrogen

C
the colourless gas nitrogen also being present

D
also since the colourless gas nitrogen is present

E
none of these

Solution

The modifier phrase need a noun to refer to, i.e. 'nitrogen'. The words 'which' and 'also since' make options 2 and 4 incorrect. 'Being' makes option 3 ungrammatical. Option 1 is the correct answer - 'Occupying about 75 percent of dry air, the colourless gas nitrogen is also present in the protoplasm of all living matter.'
Question 10
1 / -0

Read the sentence to find out whether there is an error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number corresponding to that part will be your answer. If the given sentence is correct as it is, mark the answer as ‘No error’. Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any.

The road widening exercise (1)/ who aims to make National Highway a four-lane highway, (2)/ poses a threat to the (3)/ fragile environment of the Himalayas. (4) /No error (5)

A
(1)

B
(2)

C
(3)

D
(4)

E
(5)

Solution

The error lies in the second part of the sentence. The subject is 'exercise' that should be followed by 'which' and not 'who'. 'Who' is used to refer to living things.
