ENGLISH
17 C should be “is anxious”. Remember, in case words are joined to a singular subject
by with, as well as, etc; the verb should be put in the singular
18 B B Should “be gone now”
19 A A Should be “Two lakh people”
20 C C should be “at 6 this evening.”
21 B B Should be and “lie down to rest”
22 B B Should be “the Guptas to a movie”
23 D --------
24 D --------
25 A A should be “When I started my school”
26 B B Should be “left”
27 C C Should be “as you did my brother”
28 B A should be “he will get distinction”. This is a conditional that tells us that
something will happen if a certain condition is fulfilled. Here is another example;
“if you hit the dog, it will bite you.”
29 A A should be “I contributed only Rs. 500” {Placing “only” before “contributed” gives
the sense that “I only contributed, didn't do anything else”. That is absurd. You can
only “contribute” money towards a fund. What else can you do with it?}
30 C C should be “hanged himself”. Remember, . Pictures are hung. People are
hanged. ‘Hung is used only in the context of inanimate objects.
