Dear Students,

In these times of immense competition, success is not something that’s easier to

achieve. You have to excel your preparation and perform exceptionally well at various
stages. And to achieve this you need the best material present out there.

With an initiative to provide you with the best, Vishal Parihar has come with this new
book ‘1000+ Common Errors’ for all competitive exams. The 1000+ Common Errors in this
series are the most useful errors in English. They were found by analysis of a collection of
different previous year papers from different competitive examinations like SBI, IBPS, CAT,
MAT, and various insurance examinations. Each question in this book is a high-frequency
error detection question. This means that the effort in solving the errors is well repaid by
the number of times learners have a chance to encounter or solve them. You can rely on this
book to improve your error detection that will help you to achieve better scores in the
examinations.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank our team (Bhavesh Patni, Aanchal
Singh, Rishika Jain) for their relentless efforts towards the design and the quality content of
the book.

Good Luck!

Vishal Parihar

Answers and Soluions

Q19.Ans. (a) Replace ‘declaring’ with ‘declaration’
Q20.Ans. (c) Replace ‘reviewing’ with ‘review’
Q21.Ans. (b) The noun ‘woman’ in the part (B) should be plural i.e. ‘women’ because the expression ‘among those’ indicates that there is more than one
woman. So, there is an error in the part (B) of the sentence, and hence, option (b) is the correct Solution.
Q22.Ans. (d) The use of article ‘an’ before the adjective ‘intelligent’ is incorrect. When two adjectives are used for the same person, then the article is used
before the first adjective only.
Hence, there is an error in (D), and option (d) is the correct answer.
Q23.Ans. (c) When ‘one of’ is followed by two nouns, then we don’t tell the possession or ownership with the use of ‘s but with the help of ‘ of’. The reason
is that after ‘one of’ noun is plural, and thus, if two nouns are used, then it becomes more difficult to determine which of the noun is plural. In
such cases, the expression starts giving double-meaning. The correct phrase would be ‘the farmhouse of one of the CBI officers’.
Q24.Ans. (b)
An article would be used before the noun ‘rich’.
Hence, there is an error in the part (B), and option (b) is the correct answer.
Q25.Ans. (b) Instead of ‘lived’, ‘has lived’ or ‘has been living’ would be used because the tense of the sentence is present tensewhich is evident from the
phrases ‘is sitting’ present in the part (A) and ‘has never created’ in the part (C).
So, there is an error in the part (B) of the sentence, and option (b) is the correct answer.
Q26.Ans. (c) A present tense is used to convey ‘present habit’. So, instead of ‘she is getting up’ in the part (C), ‘she gets up’ would be used. Hence, there is an
error in the part (C) of the sentence and option (c) is the correct answer.
Q27.Ans. (c) Instead of ‘have’, ‘has’ would be used because the principle subject of the sentence is ‘Seema’ which is a singular noun. When two subjects are
connected through ‘as well as, in addition to, like, unlike, accompanied by, with, together with, along with’ etc. Then, the noun or noun-equivalent
which appears before such words is the principle noun and the form of the verb would be decided by the principle subject. Hence, there is an error
in the part (C), and option (c) is the correct answer.
Q28.Ans. (b) ‘were’ would be used instead of ‘was’ in the part (B) because the subject of the verb phrase ‘was seen’ is ‘Five kilometres’ which is a plural noun.
So, there is an error in the part (B) and option 2 is the correct answer.
Q29.Ans. (a) Instead of ‘Suresh will find’ in the part (A), ‘Suresh finds’ would be used because when in future, two events are mentioned, then simple present
tense is used in the conditional clause or subordinate clause (the ones which start with when, if, before, after, until etc.), and the future tense is
used in the principal clause.
So, there is an error in the part (A) of the sentence. Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
Q30.Ans. (a) Instead of the singular ‘conversation’, the noun ‘conversation’ should be plural i.e. ‘conversations’. So, there is an error in the part (A) of the
sentence, and option 1 is the correct answer.

Q31.Ans. (e) There is no error in the given statement.

Q32.Ans. (a) ‘she had been offered’ will be used in place of ‘she had offered’ as passive voice will be used in sentence (a) of the sentence.

Q33.Ans. (e) The sentence is grammatically correct.

Q34.Ans. (b) ‘to’ will be used in place of ‘in’ as preposition ‘to’ is used after ‘junior, senior, inferior, superior, prior, anterior etc.

She is junior to me.

Q35.Ans. (a) ‘what we should do’ will be used in place of ‘what should we do’ as the sentence is ‘affirmative’ not interrogative.

Q36.Ans. (c) ‘unless you’ will be used in place of ‘unless you do not’ as clauses starting with ‘unless/ until/ lest’, ‘not’ is not used for making them ‘negative’.

I cannot do anything for her unless she comes here.

Q37.Ans. (d) ‘was’ will be used in place of ‘were’ as the subject of the sentence ‘the colour’ is singular.

Q38.Ans. (d) Use ‘his’ in place of ‘their’ as after ‘everyone, everybody, anyone, anybody’, ‘his’ is used as possessive form.

Ex. Everybody should do his duty.

Q39.Ans. (d) Use ‘was’ in place of ‘were’ because if two subjects get connected ‘with, along with, together with’, then verb is used according to the subject

close to it.

Ex. Mohini together with her parents is…

Q40.Ans. (a) ‘at’ is the correct use in place of ‘upon’ as ‘look at’ means to glance or gaze in a manner specified.

Q40.Ans. (d) ‘a’ will be used in place of ‘its’.

to that.

Answers and Solutions

Q41.Ans. (c) The Use of ‘near’ is superfluous as ‘approach’ itself means ‘to come close’.
Q42.Ans. (a) ‘swum’ will be used in place of ‘swam’ as the past form of ‘swim’ is ‘swam’ and its past participle form is ‘swum’ and moreover after have/ has/
had/ having, past participle form of verb means V3 is used.
Q43.Ans. (c) Use ‘am’ in place of ‘are’ as with ‘neither… nor’, ‘either… or’, ‘not only… but also’, the verb is used according to the subject close to it.
Ex. Either you or he has committed a blunder.

subordinate clause (if, till, until, before, after).
Ex. If it rains, we shall not go out.
Q46.Ans. (a) ‘You may be rest assured’ will be used in place of ‘you may rest assured’ as ‘may+ V1’ is used in active voice whereas ‘may +be + V3’ is used
in passive voice.
Ex. I may assure you that you will succeed. (Active)
You may be assured that you will succeed. (Passive)
Q47.Ans. (d) Use ‘to’ in place of ‘than’ as after ‘prefer’, preposition ‘to’ is used not ‘than’.
Q48.Ans. (b) Use ‘for’ in place of ‘with’.
Q49.Ans. (e) The sentence is grammatically correct.

Q52.Ans. (e) The sentence is grammatically correct.
Q53.Ans. (b) The use of ‘that’ before ‘where’ is superfluous.

Q56.Ans. (c) ‘had’ will be used in place of ‘has’ as the sentence is in past tense.
Q57.Ans. d) ‘go’ will be used in place of ‘goes’ as the subject of ‘that- clause’ is plural, therefore plural verb is used.
Ex. Oil and water do not mix
Q58.Ans. (a) ‘who’ should be replaced by to ‘whom’
Q59.Ans. (a) ‘was’ will be used in place of ‘were’ as the subject of ‘that- clause’ is ‘one’

He will return in (= at a close of) a week’s time.
He will return within (= in less than) a fortnight.

Answers and Solutions

Ex. He asked me who had come.
103Ans.(d) ‘among’ will be used in place of ‘between’ as ‘between’ is used for two persons while ‘among’ is used for more than two persons.

by train’

110Ans. (e) The sentence is grammatically correct.
111Ans. (b) In place of ‘should’, ‘may’ will be used. If the clause used in a sentence telling purpose is in future tense or present tense then ‘may’ is used in

baggage’.

Ex. He is not so good as I expected.
119Ans. (a) ‘recovered’ will be used in place of ‘recover’ as ‘were’ indicates that the incident happened in past tense. Hence ‘recovered’ is used.
120Ans. (d) Use ‘well- drawn’ in place of ‘well- drawned’ as the past form of ‘draw’ is ‘drew’ and past
121Ans.: There is no error in the given statement.
122Ans. The error lies in part (C) of the sentence. To make the sentence correct, replace “area “with “ areas” as ‘areas’ should be used due to the
determiner “some”. Since “area” is a countable noun thus “areas” should be used. All the other parts of the sentence are grammatically
correct, option (2) becomes the most viable answer choice.
123Ans. (a) The error lies in part (D) of the sentence. To make the sentence correct, “effected” should be replaced with “affected” as a transitive verb is
required In part D. All the other parts of the sentence are grammatically correct, option (1) becomes the most viable answer choice.

Answers And Solutions

124Ans.(c) The error lies in part (B) of the sentence. To make the sentence correct, “its” should be replaced with “it is” as a temporary subject is required In
part D. All the other parts of the sentence are grammatically correct, option (3) becomes the most viable answer choice.
125Ans. (e) The sentence is grammatically correct.
126Ans. (d) ‘vivid reason’ will be used in place of ‘vividly reason’ because ‘vividly’ is an adverb while ‘vivid’ is an adjective and ‘reason’ is a noun for which
adjective is used to express its qualities

127Ans. (d) ‘had told’ will be used in place of ‘would have told’ as for unreal situation of past, ‘Subject + would/ could/ might/ should + have + V3’ is used in
main clause and ‘Subject + had + V3’ is used in conditional clause.

Ex. I would have helped you if you had come earlier.

128Ans.(b) ‘what makes/ what has made/ what made’ will be used in place of ‘what to make’.
129Ans. (b) Use ‘live’ in place of ‘have been lived’ as simple present tense is used for work done for some permanent work of present.
130Ans. (a) Part (C)of the sentence contains error in it. It is to be noted that the given sentence is not a question rather it is a statement. When WH-word is
used to introduce a clause, the position of the auxiliary verb and the subject gets inverted. The difference in the sentence structure of an
interrogative sentence and a clause with an interrogative word is “interrogative word + Auxiliary verb+ subject + main verb”; “interrogative
word + subject + verb (clause)”respectively. To make the sentence grammatically feasible replace “what are my parents” with“what my parents
are”. Since, all the other parts of the sentence are grammatically correct, option (a) becomes the most viable answer choice.
131Ans. (c) The error lies in part (A) of the sentence. In order to correct the sentence, omit “that” from part (A) of the sentence since, in the reported speech
the “yes/no” type of questions is reported using the “if/whether” clause. All the other parts of the sentence are grammatically correct, option
(c) becomes the most viable answer choice.

132Ans.(e) The error lies in part (D) of the sentence. It is to be noted that the word “ return”itself means ‘come or go back to a place or person’. Thus, to
make the sentence grammatically correct, omit “back” from part (D) of the sentence as it is redundant. All the other parts of the sentence are
grammatically correct, option (e) becomes the most viable answer choice.

133Ans. (e) All the parts of sentence are grammatically correct and contextually meaningful and therefore, it does not require any correction. Hence, option (e)
becomes the most viable answer choice.
134Ans.(b) The error lies in part (A) of the sentence. It is to be noted that to make the part of the sentence correct, replace ‘sign’ with ‘signature’ as ‘sign’ is
used as a verb form while ‘signature’ is the noun. Here, to adhere the context of the sentence the more appropriate word is ‘signature’. Moreover,
all the other parts are grammatically correct, thus the option that depicts the sequence of correct parts is option (b).
135Ans.(c) The error lies in part (B) of the sentence. It is to be noted that the adverb “universally” itself means ‘by everyone; in every case’. Thus,
the usage of ‘by all’ becomes superfluous in the sentence, since the meaning is already conveyed by ‘universally’. Moreover, all the other
parts are grammatically correct, therefore, the option that depicts the sequence of correct parts is option (c).

Answers And Solutions

136Ans.(e) All the parts of sentence are grammatically correct and contextually meaningful and therefore, it does not require any correction. Hence, option
(e) becomes the most viable answer choice.

137Ans.: The error lies in part (D) of the sentence. It is to be noted that when ‘as well as’ is part of the subject, the verb must agree with the noun before as
well as. Therefore, ‘were’ should be replaced with ‘was’ to adhere to the correct grammatical syntax of the sentence. However, all the options
reflect part (D) as correct, therefore, option (e) becomes the most viable answer choice as the correct sequence should be ABCE.

138Ans.(d) The error lies in part (C) of the sentence. It is to be noted that the noun following the phrase "one of the" is always a plural noun, whereas use of
verbs as singular or plural will entirely depend upon the subject of the statement, i.e. singular verb for singular subject and plural verb for plural
subject. Therefore, to make the sentence correct, replace ‘university’ with its plural form ‘universities’. Since, all the other parts of the sentence
are grammatically correct, the option that depicts the sequence of correct parts is option (d).
139Ans. (d) 'to' should not be used since, 'worth listening' is not followed by any preposition.

140Ans. (c) 'But also' is used together with 'not only'. Add 'also' to 'but'.

141Ans. (c) 'Neither' is followed by 'helping verb' and then the subject. 'Neither has my brother' is the correct sentence form.

142Ans. (a) Remove 'if’ from the sentence. 'Suppose' and ‘if’ mean the same. When used together, they make the sentence superfluous.
143Ans. (a) Change 'she will not understand' into 'she understands'. 'Not' and 'will' do not come after 'unless'.

144Ans. (d) ‘If it rained’ should be used in place of ‘If it rains’ because Reporting verb in Indirect narration is in past Tense.

145Ans. (e) No Error

146Ans. (a) In place of ‘she will have’, ‘she would have been’ will be used.
With Had+ subject + been + V3, Subject + would + have + been + V3 is used.
Ex. Had he been taken to hospital, he would have been saved.
147Ans. (c) ‘who’ should be used in place of ‘that’ Since, Relative pronoun ‘who’ is used as a subject in subordinate clause.

148Ans. (a) 'Refrain' should be followed by 'from'. Hence 'to' should be replaced with 'from'.
149Ans. (c) as the entire context of the passage is in present thus “did not” should be changed to “do not” to make sentence meaningfully and contextually
correct.

150Ans. (c) Both the sentences (II) and (III) are grammatically correct. However, there is an error in the first sentence. The preposition “ for ” should be
replaced with “ since ” to make the sentence grammatically correct. It is to be noted that for is used in cases when we refer to a period of
time, since is used to refer a point of time. Hence option (c) is the correct choice.

Answers And Solutions

151Ans. (b) Among all the statements, sentences (I) and (III) are grammatically correct and contextually meaningful, while there is an error in sentence (II).
To make sentence (II) contextually correct replace ‘effect’ with ‘affect’ as affect can either mean "to influence" or "to act in a way that you don't
feel." Effect typically means "a result." Since, sentence (I) and (III) are correct, option (b) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

152Ans. (c) Both the statements (I) and (II) are grammatically correct. However, there is a grammatical error in the third sentence; the use of “again ” is
superfluous because the word “ repeat”itself means ‘to say or do again’. So, the correct sentence would be, Ankita requested the
examiner to repeat the question.

153Ans. (d) The error lies in part (C) of the sentence. To make the sentence grammatically correct replace “than” with “when”. It is to be noted that with
‘Hardly’ or ‘scarcely’, the conjunction ‘when’ or ‘before’ is used. Moreover, ‘than’ is used with ‘no sooner’.

154Ans. (b) Since the error is in part (A) therefore any sequence with part A is incorrect. 'Whose' should be replaced by 'which’ to make the syntax correct.

155Ans. (e) All the given sentences are grammatically correct and contextually meaningful; thus, they do not require any corrections. Hence, option (e)
becomes the most feasible answer choice.

156Ans. (d) Of all the statements provided, Statement (II) and statement (III) are devoid of any errors. In case of statement (I) ‘then’ should be replaced with
‘that’. This type of construction [It is when…that] is known as a CLEFT SENTENCE, whose purpose is to place emphasis on the main clause
complement. Hence, option (d) is the most suitable answer choice.
157Ans. (c) Statements (I) and (II) contains error in them. Tomake statement (I) grammatically correct replace “through” with “for”, as “through” is
used when moving in one side and out of the other side of (an opening, channel, or location), while ‘for’ is used to indicate time or duration.
Moreover, in statement (II) the subject [construct of Indian nationalism] is singular, therefore, to comply with the rule of subject-verb
agreement the verb associated with it should also be singular. Thus, “consist” should be replaced with its singular form i.e., “consists”. Sentence
(III) is grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Hence, option (c) becomes the most viable answer choice.

158Ans. (a) Statements (II) and (III) contains errors in them. It is to be noted that the statement (II) is describing an incident of past, thus ‘will’ should be
replaced with ‘would’. Moreover, in statement (III) while using the phrase “as well as”, the verb must be complied with the noun previous to the
phrase. Therefore, to make the sentence grammatically correct, replace ‘are primates’ with ‘is a primate’. Statement (I) is grammatically and
contextually correct. Hence, option (a) is the most viable answer choice.

159Ans. (d) The error lies in part (C) of the sentence. It is to be noted that the phrases like ‘a series of’, ‘a body of’, ‘a crowd of’, ‘a bunch of’ are always
associated with a plural noun. However, the verb is singular, since it depicts a singular series. Therefore, to make the sentence grammatically
correct, replace ‘meeting’ with ‘meetings’. Moreover, all the other parts of the sentence are correct, option (d) reflects the precise sequence of the
correct parts. Thus, it becomes the most suitable answer choice

Answers And Solutions

Ans.160(d) Both the statements (I) and (II) are grammatically correct. However, there is an error in the third sentence. In the case of the third sentence,

replace “ than ” by “ to ” because whenever prefer is used to compare two nouns or gerunds, then prefer is always followed by to .

e.g. Ritesh prefers cricket to football .

Hence option (d) is the correct choice.

Ans.161: 5 Since the error is in part (A) but all the sequence contains A.

'Whose' should be replaced by 'which’ to make the syntax correct.

Since, all the other parts of the sentence are grammatically correct, the option that depicts the sequence of correct parts is option (d).

Ans.162:3 In the third part of the sentence, “when” will be replaced by “than” because ‘No sooner’ is always followed by ‘than’ and ‘Hardly/Scarcely’ is

followed by ‘when/before’. Hence, option (c) will be the correct answer.

Ans.163:5 All the parts of the given sentence are grammatically correct. Hence, option (5) will be the correct answer.

Ans.164:4 Among the given sentences, sentence (4) contains a grammatical error. It is to be noted When plural nouns do not end in s, the possessiveness of
it can be denoted by simply adding apostrophe and an ‘s’ [‘s] after the noun; however, if the plural noun already ends in s, a mere addition of an
apostrophe signifies its possessiveness. Therefore, teacher’s should be replaced by teachers’. Hence, option (4) is the most suitable answer
choice.

166Ans.: To make the sentence grammatically correct, replace the phrase given in bold with [has already begun]. Here, “already” is an adverb which should
be placed in the mid position in the sentence i.e., after the first auxiliary verb or after a modal verb when more than one verb is present. Moreover,
the subject [The banking industry] is singular, therefore, the verb associated with the subject should also be in its singular form. Hence, option (b)
becomes the most suitable answer choice.

only (II) sentence is grammatically and contextually correct, sentence (I) and (III) are contextually wrong so the best answer choice is option(b).
Among the given sentences, sentence (II) stands incorrect as the phrases “all over the world” and “all around the world” provide similar meaning.

some cases where as second part is discussing about some problem in banking system where there might be difficulties to construct a plan for that.
170Ans. (d)
only (II) sentence is contextually incorrect, sentence (I) and (III) are contextually and grammatically correct so the best answer choice here is
option(d). In first part of sentence (II) it is talking about the midsummer and winter situations whereas in second part of the sentence it has started
talking about seven councils so the sentence (II) is contextually wrong.

event taking place over two days, the correct word to be used here should be ‘decorum’. So the only sentence (I) here is grammatically and
contextually correct so the best answer choice here is option (a).

(II) sentence is grammatically incorrect, ‘adequate’ should be replaced by ‘inadequate’. In sentence (II) ‘denigrated’ means criticize unfairly so the
corresponding word used should give a negative sense as well thus inadequate is the proper word to be used here, sentence (I) and (III) here are

Answers And Solutions

173.Ans. (e) All the three sentences are grammatically correct and do not require any correction. Hence option (e) is the correct choice.

174Ans.:(b) The correct choice for the grammatically and contextually viable sentence would be option (b).

The first and the third sentence contains an error. In the first sentence, there should be an addition of a reflexive pronoun (which is itself in this

case) after reveals as the subject and the object of the sentence is the kathua mindset.

In case of the third sentence, ‘Placed’ will be replaced with places as the sentence is in present tense.

175Ans.: 1 The first sentence and the second sentence contains an error. In this sentence Prime Minister Office should be replaced with Prime Minister’s

office.

In the second sentence the grammatical syntax followed is incorrect. With any form of Do i.e., do/does/did we use first form of verb. Therefore,

understood should be replaced with understand to make the sentence grammatically correct.

Third sentence bears no error.

176Ans.(a) Out of the given statements, statement (I) and (II) contains an error. In case of (I) statement, there is a prepositional error which makes the

sentence grammatically incorrect. Preposition ‘on’ should be replaced with ‘in’ as ‘in’ is used to signify the position or place and thus it fits into

the context of the sentence.

In case of (II) statement, ‘upheld’ will replace ‘uphold’ as the sentence is in past tense which can be seen from the phrase ‘mandated in our

constitution’.

(III) statement bears no error.

177Ans.: (a) Clause (A) has error in it. The usage of ‘if’ is incorrect. ‘if’ should be replaced by ‘whether’ as ‘or’ is used in the part (D) of the sentence.

‘whether… or’ is used in the sentence to introduce alternative possibilities.

Hence option (a) is the correct choice.

178Ans.(b) Ans.: Clause (B) has error in it. The usage of ‘to’ is incorrect. ‘to’ should be omitted. Rule: HELP + V1 (without ‘to’)

Hence option (b) is the correct choice.

Answers And Solution

179Ans.(b)
Ans.: Clause (B) has error in it. The use of ‘yet’ is incorrect here.
‘although’ will be used in place of ‘yet’.
‘Although or though’ is a conjunction that means ‘in spite of the fact that’ and is used to tell the condition whereas we use ‘yet’ in a negative or
interrogative clause, usually with perfective aspect, to show that something has not happened by a particular time.
Here, in the sentence, the condition is she could learn mechanically. Hence ‘although’ will be used.
Hence option (b) is the correct choice.
Answer180: 3
Ans.: Clause (D) has error in it. In place of take in it should be take down. Take in means to allow admittance while take down means the removal of
a website, web page, or file from the Internet, hence option (c) is the correct choice.
Answer181: 1
Ans.: The third sentence is grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Therefore, option (a) is the most viable choice.
The first and second sentences are grammatically incorrect. In case of first sentence, the phrase ‘over the heels’ should be replaced with ‘over
the hills’ which is used for someone who is too old to be of much use. In case of second sentence, setting aside will replace setting beside.
Setting aside means to declare something invalid or overrule something which fits in the context of the sentence and makes it grammatically and
contextually correct. Setting beside does not fit in the context of the sentence as it means to place something near or next to something.
Answer182: 2
Ans.: The second sentence is grammatically correct. However, there are errors in the first and the third sentence. In the first sentence, it should be
India has in place of India have since India is a singular noun and with it singular verb will be used. In the third sentence, it should be one of the
striking features in place of one of the striking feature. It is to be noted that one of is followed by plural noun and singular verb.
Answer183: 3
Ans.: Clause (C) is incorrect in the sentence.
‘when’ should be replaced by ‘than’ as syntax of the sentence starting with ‘No sooner’ is ‘No sooner …. than’ whereas in sentence starting
with ‘hardly/ scarcely’ is ‘hardly/ scarcely… when/ before’.
Ex. (i) No sooner had I eaten the fish than I started feeling sick.
(ii) Hardly/ Scarcely had he left for Chennai when his father died.
Hence option (c) is the correct choice.
184Ans. (a)
The error lies in the first part i.e., part (A) of the sentence. It is to be noted that certain words require specific preposition. We seem to use
"suitable for" when referring to a person or to an "ing" verb, and "suitable to" when referring to a thing or a "to" verb. Therefore, to make the
sentence grammatically correct and contextually meaningful replace “to” with “for”. Hence, option (a) is the most suitable answer choice.
185. Ans. (a)
The error lies in the second part of the sentence i.e., part (B). Replace ‘talk’ with ‘talking’ to make the syntax of the sentence grammatically
correct. It is to be noted that in part (A) ‘visiting’ is a gerund while the other word in part (B) ‘talk’ is a bare infinitive i.e., infinitive without
‘to’. Moreover, a gerund and a bare infinitive cannot be joined using the conjunction ‘and’. If the first word is a gerund the other word to be
connected using ‘and must be a gerund as well. Hence, option (a) is the most suitable answer choice.
186. Ans. (d)
The error lies in the last part i.e., part (E) of the sentence, ‘in’ should be replaced with ‘within’ to provide the precise contextual meaning to the
sentence. ‘In’ is specifically defined as being inside while ‘within’ implies being inside of a given set of parameters relative to the object it’s
linking to and not actually inside of it. Therefore, option (d) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

204 Ans. (b)

There is a grammatical error in the second part of the sentence; the phrase “has been still plying to some urban centers” should be replaced by “still
ply in some urban centers” as it is the correct expression in the context of the sentence structure. The other two parts of the sentence are
grammatically and contextually correct and do not require any correction. Hence option (b) is the correct choice.
205. Ans. (c)
The first bold part of the sentence is absolutely correct and does not require any replacement. However, there are errors in the second and the third
parts of the sentence. In the second bold part, the expression “they are very vulnerable in accentuation” should be replaced “
by and so are very vulnerable to the accentuation” to follow the correct sentence structure. Similarly, in the third part of the sentence, the expression
“for pollution-crisis situation” should be replaced by “in pollution-crisis situations” to make the sentence grammatically correct. Hence option (c) is
the correct choice.

206. Ans. (c)

In the first part of the sentence, the expression “one of the most influential work” should be replaced by “one of the most influential works” as the
noun/pronoun following the phrase "one of the" is always a plural noun. So, the singular noun “work” should be replaced by its plural form “works”
to make the statement grammatically correct. The second part of the sentence does not require any correction as it is grammatically correct.
However, in the third part of the sentence, the correct expression should be “never with some other end in view” as the phrase “end in view” is the
correct form. The phrase “end in view” means purpose, use. Thus, the highlighted portions of both the first and the third parts of the sentence require
the correction to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Hence (c) is the correct choice.
207. Ans. (e)
The given sentence is grammatically correct and at the same time it is contextually meaningful. So, none of the bold parts requires correction or
replacement. Hence option (e) is the correct choice.
208. Ans. (c)
In the first part of the sentence, the expression “essential of an ethical value system” should be replaced by “essentials of an ethical value system” as
the verb used in the first part “include” is in plural form; so, the subject it refers should be in plural as well. Thus, the subject “essential” should be
replaced by its plural number “essentials” to make the required correction. The second part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not
require any correction. However, in the third part of the sentence there is a similar error as the first one. The expression “that manifest in deep
commitment” should be replaced by “which manifests in deep commitment” as the verb “manifests” correctly follows the subject-verb agreement. It
is to be noted that the subject of the verb “manifest” is “respect” which is in singular form; so, the verb that it follows should also be in singular
form to comply with the subject-verb agreement. Thus, the highlighted portions of both the first and the third parts of the sentence require the
correction to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Hence (c) is the correct choice.
209. Ans. (a)In the first part of the sentence, it is to be noted that the expression “it is imperative that” suggests that the second part of the sentence should be
dependent on the first, but the highlighted part of the sentence gives an indication that it carries some errors. Thus, the expression “an overwhelming
uncertainty” should be replaced by “Given the overwhelming uncertainty” to make the sentence logically and grammatically feasible. The use of the
preposition “Given” implies “taking into account, or considering”. However, both the highlighted portions of the second and the third parts of the
sentence are grammatically correct and do not require any correction. They already provide a coherent meaning to the sentence. Hence the option (a)
is the correct choice.
210. Ans. (e) The given sentence is grammatically correct and at the same time it is contextually meaningful. So, none of the bold parts requires correction or
replacement. Hence option (e) is the correct choice.

Answers And Solutions

211. Ans. (c)
The error lies in Part (I) as well as in part (IV) of the sentence. It is to be noted to make the first part of sentence grammatically correct, replace
“begun” with “began” as the sentence is in the past tense. This can be understood from the highlighted part (III) […said]. Moreover, the usage
of “since” in part (V) of the sentence indicates the intervening period between (the time mentioned) and the time under consideration, typically
the present. Therefore, it implies that the company would reopen ports which are still closed from past June, hence “were” should be replaced
with “had been” as “Had been” means something began in the past [June], lasted for some time, then ended [present]. Hence, option (c) is the
most viable answer choice.
212. Ans. (a)
The error lies in part (II) of the sentence. It is to be noted that the verb “advised” given in the first part of the sentence will always be followed
by “to + V1” structure, rather than “for +ing”. Therefore, “for cutting” should be replaced by “to cut” in order to make the sentence
grammatically correct. All the other parts of the sentence are in absolute grammatical syntax. Hence, option (a) is the most viable answer choice
213Ans.:(a) Statement II is grammatically correct. Other statements contain errors. In case of Statement I, ‘mile’ should be replaced with ‘miles’ to make the
sentence grammatically correct. The number of units of distance travelled by the lava is more than the unity and hence, the units will be
depicted in plural form. For instance, five miles, six miles etc. In case of Statement III,
two-third will be replaced with two-thirds as it depicts a plural subject or 2 parts out of the three parts of the whole and this can be verified with
the use of plural verb ‘are’ in the latter half of the sentence. In case of Statement IV, it should be ‘ ’to compare ourselves with’’ in place of‘’to
compare ourselves to’’. As ‘compared to’ is used when resemblance to something is made. For example, ‘He compared the children to flowers
in the spring’, whereas compared with is used to show contrast or difference between objects regarded as essentially of the same order. Hence,
option(a) is the most suitable choice.
214Ans.:(a) Of all the statements provided, Statement I and statement IV are devoid of any errors. In case of statement II, it should be ‘sync with’ in place of
‘sync to.’ As ‘sync with’ shows synchronization with the environment or its functioning. In case of Statement III, in place of ‘comply on’ it
should be ‘comply with.’ The correct phrasal verb is ‘Comply with’ which implies to follow or adhere to a particular rule or regulation. Hence,
option (c) is the most suitable choice.
215Ans.:(d) All the statements except for the statement II are incorrect. In case of statement I, “moving to” should be replaced with “moving towards”. As
towards is used to imply ‘in the direction of’.
In case of statement III, ‘’Between’’ should be replaced with ‘’Among’’ as the sentence is talking about developing countries. ‘Among’ is used
for more than two things whereas ‘ between’ is used for two things. In case of statement IV, it should be “to suggest” in place of “to suggests”
as infinitive takes first form of the verb after it (to+ v1). Hence, option (d) is the most suitable choice.

216Ans.:(d) Out of all the statements provided, only Statement (I) is grammatically correct. In case of statement II, there is an omission of preposition ‘on'
after embarked. The correct statement will have ‘embarked on’ as part of the sentence which is used to denote the new journey or new initiative
taken by the India. In case of Statement III, the preposition ‘on’ will be substituted by ‘under’. ‘Under’ is used to denote who or what controls,
governs or manages somebody/something. For example-The country is now under martial law. Here it is showing that it is governed or
controlled by same brand.
In case of statement IV, “rouse” will be substituted by “roused” as the sentence is in past tense. Therefore, it should take the past tense of rouse
which means to awaken or rise to. Hence, option (d) is the most suitable choice.

Ans217: 4

Ans.: All the sentences, except for (d), are grammatically correct and contextually similar. However, in the case of sentence (d), the use of the verb “ will

not ” changes the meaning of the sentence. In the case of other three sentences, there is no surety of change; whereas in the sentence (d), the

sentence gives the sense of a change which definitely will not take place. Thus, the sentence is incorrect contextually. Hence option (d) is the correct

choice.

Ans218: 5

Ans.: All the given statements are grammatically correct and at the same time, they convey the similar meaning. Hence option (e) is the correct choice.

Ans219: 3

Ans.: Read all the sentences carefully. All the sentences, except for (c), are grammatically correct as well as contextually similar. However, in the case of

statement (c), the conjunction “ since ” upfront changes the meaning of the sentence. The rest of the three sentences are using the conjunctions “

while ”, “ though ” and “ but ” to bring a contrasting relation between the two statements which isn’t the case if we connect these statements using

the conjunction “ since ”. It is to be noted that the conjunction “ since ” is used as the meaning “ for the reason that; because ”. Hence option (c) is

the correct choice.

An220: 1

Ans.: Read all the sentences carefully. All the sentences, except for (a), are grammatically correct as well as contextually similar. However, in the case of

statement (a), there is a grammatical error. The verb “ are” is not supporting its subject which is singular [ The level of… ]. It should be replaced by

a singular helping verb “ is ” to make the sentence grammatically correct. Hence option (a) is the correct choice.

Ans221: 5

Ans.: All the given statements are grammatically correct and at the same time, they convey the similar meaning. Hence option (e) is the correct choice.

Answers And Solutions

222. Ans. (c)
There are some grammatical errors in the sentences (II) and (IV). In the case of sentence (II), the plural verb “represent” should be replaced by its
singular form “represents” as the subject it refers is in singular form [“Every individual”]. Moreover, when “every” refers to the subject of the
clause, we use a singular verb. In the case of sentence (IV), there is a similar case of mistake, the singular verb “states” should be replaced by its
plural form “state” as the subject it refers is in plural form [“our traditional ayurvedic texts”]. The other two sentences are grammatically correct.
Hence option (c) is the correct choice.
223. Ans. (d)
There is a grammatical error in the sentence (d); the plural verb “have” should be replaced by its singular form “has” as the subject in this case is
singular [“China”]. The subject is "China." That is the entire subject. "Along with Russia" is a prepositional phrase. A prepositional phrase is never a
part of the subject. It does not affect the count of the subject. Whatever is said in a prepositional phrase, no matter how plural it may be, does not
make a singular subject plural. The only thing that can make an otherwise singular subject plural is the conjunction "and." If the word "and" were
used instead of "along with," then the verb would be "have." Other sentences are grammatically correct. Hence option (d) is the correct choice.
224. Ans. (d)
“appears to be” is the correct phrase to be replaced making the sentence meaningful and correct.
Here in the sentence the subject of the sentence, ‘…gun system’ is singular.
Sigh- emit a long, deep audible breath expressing sadness, relief, tiredness, or similar.
Hence option (d) is the correct choice.
225. Ans. (b)
“renders” should be replaced by “render” to make it grammatically and contextually correct. In the given sentence “the India Meteorological
Department and the erratic nature of rainfall” together make a plural subject so the verb followed should be according to the subject.
Hence option (b) is the correct choice.
226. Ans. (d)
“recommended me” is the incorrect phrase here.
Example:
Correct: My manager requested that I use my vacation days before the end of the month.
Incorrect: My manager requested me that I use my vacation days before the end of the month.
Hence option (d) is the correct choice.

Answers And Solutions

227. Ans. (b)
“spoke in” should be replaced by “spoke on” to make it grammatically and contextually correct.
We say speak on someone’s behalf.
Hence option (b) is the correct choice.
228. Ans. (b)
The error lies in sentence (b). A demonstrative pronoun points to a specific thing or things to indicate whether they are close or far, in space
and/or time. For far in distance or time we use ‘that’ instead of ‘it’. Therefore, in sentence (b), ‘this’ should be replaced by ‘that’ to frame a
meaningful sentence.
Disgorged- pour (something) out.
Slink- move smoothly and quietly with gliding steps, in a stealthy or sensuous manner.
Hence option (b) is the correct choice.
229. Ans. (b)
Sentence (b) contains an error of subject-verb agreement. These nouns [statistics] appear to be plural (end in s), but generally refer to only one
thing and are, therefore, generally considered singular.
Hence option (b) is the correct choice.
230. Ans. (c)
In the second part of the sentence, the word “lived” will be replaced by “has lived” or “has been living” because “is watching” used in first part
of the sentence and “has never created” used in the third part of the sentence signify that the sentence is in present tense. Hence, option (b) will
be the correct answer.
231. Ans. (c)
In the third sentence, the word “pragmatisim (noun)” will be replaced by “pragmatic (adj.)”, as approach here is a noun and respectively we
have to use an adjective here.
Hence, option (c) will be the correct answer.
232. Ans. (d) Among the given sentences, sentence (d) contains a grammatical error. According to usage rules, fewer is only to be used when discussing
countable things, while less is used for singular mass nouns. For example, you can have fewer ingredients, dollars, people, or puppies, but less
salt, money, honesty, or love. If you can count it, go for fewer. The correct sentence here will be, “They have got fewer problems than their
neighbours.”
Hence, option (d) is the most suitable answer choice.
233. (d). In the option (d), the presence of ‘a’ after the phrase ‘type of’ (and before the word ‘doctor’) is incorrect. Nouns which follow phrases like
‘type of’, ‘kind of’, ‘sort of’ etc. don’t precede with any article.
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

Answers And Solutions

Ans.234(e)
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Ans.235(b)
The use of ‘a’ is superfluous.
Ans.236(d)
‘beside’ will be used in place of ‘besides’ as ‘besides’ means ‘in addition to’ whereas ‘beside’ means ‘at the side of’.
Ex. Ram was sitting beside Sita.
Ans.237(a)
‘my’ will be used in place of ‘me’.
Ans.238(e)
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Ans.239(b)
‘many/ a lot of/ lots of’ will be used in place of ‘the more’ as the sentence is in positive degree.
Ans.240(c)
The use of ‘about’ is superfluous.
Ans.241(c)
‘is’ will be used in place of ‘are’ as plural noun or pronoun and singular verb is used after ‘neither of/ either of/ each of/ anyone of/ every one
of/ one of’.
Ex. Neither of the girls is beautiful.
Each of them was happy there.
Ans. 242(d)
Use ‘were’ in place of ‘was’ as plural verb is used after ‘you’.
Ans.243(d)
‘one another’s’ will be used in place of ‘one another’ as comparison is between ‘their tastes’ and ‘one another’s tastes’.
Ex. Their ideas vary from
Ans.244 (b)
There is an error in the part (b). Instead of ‘much’, ‘more’ would be used. ‘More’ is the comparative adjective for the positive degree of the
quantitative adjective ‘much’ and of the numerical adjective ‘more’. Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
Ans.245 (a)
There is an error in the part (a). Instead of ‘shall’, ‘will’ be used because generally ‘shall’ is not used with SECOND and THIRD persons.
Jaunt- a short excursion or journey made for pleasure.
Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
Ans.246(d)
There is an error in the part (d) of the sentence. Instead of ‘his wife does’, ‘does his wife’ should come.
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
Ans.247 (c)
The part (d) is erroneous. The usage of ‘yet’ is incorrect for ‘yet’ illustrates result while the context of the sentence requires the word to signify
a condition which can be fulfilled by words like ‘although’ or ‘though’.
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
Ans.248 (c)
The part (c) is erroneous for instead of ‘was’, ‘had’ should be used. To understand the context, kindly look at the following sentences:
(i) Rosy married a poor boy.
(ii) Sridhar told me that Rosy had married a poor girl.
When a simple past tense is written in indirect form, past perfect tense is used to reflect the essence of the sentence.
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
Ans.249 (b)
Option (b) is the correct choice as there is error in only part (III) and the correct explanation of it is : “In standard English, when you use the
phrase "not only" in a sentence, it should be followed by the phrase "but also." So, the correct answer is "When she went to the zoo, Lindsay got
to see not only tigers, but also polar bears, iguanas, and toucans."
Ans.250 (c)
Option (c) is the correct choice. The part (III) must be replaced as such given. This is according to the explanation, “The correlative
conjunctions “neither” and “nor” belong together. In "neither . . . nor" sentences, the two options (“pleased with their poor work” and “willing
to accept their rowdy behavior”) must be presented in a grammatically parallel way so that the words following “neither” and the words
following “nor” are parallel phrases.”

Answers And Solutions

251Ans. (b)
Option (b) is the most appropriate choice to be selected as the answer of the question as correction is required in part (III) of the sentence. This
question requires you to correct a correlative conjunction error. Since the end of the sentence—"but not both"—indicates that Emmie will have to
take one or the other, we know that the correlative conjunction "neither . . . nor" will not be used here, as it is used in situations when both options
are rejected. Therefore, the correlative conjunction "either . . . or" has to be used, making the corrected sentence "When selecting her classes for the
next semester, Emmie knew she would have to take either Introduction to Literary Analysis or Neuroscience, but not both."
252Ans. (a)
Option (a) is the correct option as (I) and (III) are the correct replacement of the parts given in the question. As the statement is talking about Emily
Bronte’s novel, so adverb of place ‘in’ will be used rather than the article ‘a’ given in the beginning of the sentence. Furthermore, "the heroine,
Catherine, must choose between true love or social pre-eminence," contain an incorrect idiomatic expression. When we have "between," we
typically need the word "and"—rather than "or"—to separate the entities that follow.
253Ans. (e)
Option (e) is the most apt choice. There is no correction required in the sentence given. The sentence is trying to explain that in spite of the giant
squid's elusiveness, scientists are finding new ways of studying it. The sentence therefore is trying to contrast two ideas. Hence (e) is the correct
answer.
254.Ans: (e) No error.

255.Ans: (d) We use aim at and not aim before. Aim agrees with at (Prep.)

256.Ans: (b) by → from know follows from when the source is recognised. know from
(Id.) : to know about something
257.Ans: (d) look much nice → look very nice. It should be noted that very is used to modify Adj.s and Past Participles used as Adj.s.

258.Ans: (d) another is an Indefinite Determiner which means an additional person or thing. The use of one after it is superfluous.
259.(b) : A and B
‘Produced’ and ‘Is little’
260.(a) Sol: A
Pair should be replaced with pairing.
Sol: ‘Visit’ instead of ‘have visit’.
‘ have been’ instead of ‘had been’.
261.(a) Sol: ‘Hold’ instead of ‘holding’.
‘Brought’ instead of ‘bought’.

Answers And Solutions

Ans.263(a)

Sol: A and D

‘Moving’ and ‘Overcrowding’.

Ans.264(b)

There is an error in the parts (I) and (III).

In (I), the erroneous phrase is ‘has caution’. The sentence is in present-perfect tense. The correct phrase should be ‘has cautioned’. It

should be noted that, here “caution” is used as a verb instead of a noun to complement with the syntax of the other parts.

In (III), the erroneous phrase is ‘extended over the’, and the error is the usage of an incorrect preposition.

The correct phrase should be ‘extended through the’.

Ans.265(c)

There are errors in all the parts, i.e., (I) and (II).

The correct sentence structure should be, “When two or three different systems claim that they contain the revelation of the very core and centre

of truth and the acceptance of it is the exclusive pathway to heaven, conflicts are inevitable.”

Ans.266(b)

There is an error in the part (I) and part (III).

The correct sentence structure should be, “Chauvinist groups have repeatedly called for boycott of Muslim businesses and trade, even though

Muslim communities have unequivocally condemned the Easter blasts attributed to a local hard-line Islamist group.”

Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

Ans.266(c)
Only (II) part of the sentence is erroneous. The correct sentence structure should be, “The description “backward” to define communities is yet
another colonial relic which we, as a collective, embraces with such enthusiasm, that we almost forget what it is supposed to mean.”
Hence option (c) is the correct answer choice.

Answers And Solutions

267Ans.( e) The given sentence is correct and doesn’t require any correction.
268Ans(a) The given sentence is grammatically correct. Hence it doesn’t require any correction.
269Ans(a)
The first part of the sentence is grammatically correct and connects well with the other two parts to generate a coherent sentence. In the second
part of the sentence, “would have gone long way” should be replaced by “would go a long way” as the phrase “gone long way” is not paired
with the correct article. Moreover, there are many set expressions that require the definite article (the point is), the indefinite article (keep an eye
on), or no article (head over heels). These expressions are idiomatic, so they don’t follow a particular pattern. The third part of the sentence is
grammatically correct as there will be a use of the dependent clause “if” to make the sentence meaningful. Hence (c) is the correct option.
270Ans(a)
In the first part of the sentence, the phrase “India’s biggest tax reform through date” should be replaced by “India’s biggest tax reform till date”
as “till” is the correct preposition in this case. The second and the third parts of the sentence are grammatically correct and don’t require any
correction. Hence (a) is the correct option.
271Ans(a)
The first part of the sentence is grammatically correct and hence it doesn’t require any correction. In the second part of the sentence, the
pronoun “its” should be replaced by “their” as the noun it signifies is in plural form, i.e. “Researchers.” In the third part of the sentence, the
phrase “reduce in smoking” should be replaced by “to reduce smoking” to make the sentence grammatically correct. Hence (c) is the correct
choice.
272Ans. (a) The error lies in part (II) of the sentence. To make the sentence grammatically correct, replace “also” by ‘either’. It is to be noted that
‘either…or’ is used to refer a situation in which there is a choice between two different plans of action; while ‘also’ is used to refer in addition;
too. Since, all the other parts of the sentence are grammatically correct, option (a) is the most viable answer choice.
S2. Ans.(b) The third part of the sentence contains an error. It is to be noted that ‘vividly’ is an adverb while ‘vivid’ is an adjective. Therefore, to describe
the quality of a noun [picture], an adjective must be used rather than an adverb. The parts of the sentence are in precise grammatical syntax
hence, option (b) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

Answers And Solutions

273. Ans. (e)

All the parts of the given sentence are grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Therefore, they do not need any replacements.

Hence, option (e) is most suitable answer choice.

274. Ans. (c)

There are errors in part (I) and part (III) of the sentence. To form a grammatically correct sentence, replace these parts with the expression (I)

and (III) respectively. It is to be noted that the adverb ‘fairly’ is always accompanied with the positive degree. However, “rather” can be used

with either the positive degree or the comparative degree. Therefore, to make the part of the sentence grammatically correct “fairly better”

should be replaced with “rather good”. Moreover, in part (III) replace ‘left of’ with ‘left off’ since if something continues from where it ‘left

off’, it starts happening again at the point where it had previously stopped. Since part (II) of the sentence is devoid of all grammatical errors,

therefore, option (c) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

275. Ans. (c)

The third part of the sentence contains an error. To make part (III) of the sentence free from errors, replace ‘politics’ with ‘political’, since the

word required here is an adjective to describe the quality of the “will”; whereas, ‘politics’ is a noun which means ‘the activities associated with

the governance of a country or area, especially the debate between parties having power’. Although, part (I) and (II) of the sentence is

absolutely correct, therefore, option (c) becomes the most viable answer choice.

276. Ans. (e)

All the parts of the given sentence are grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Therefore, they do not need any replacements.

Hence, option (e) is most suitable answer choice.

Answers And Solutions

280. Ans. (d)
The first and the third part of the sentence contain errors. To make the first part grammatically correct, replace ‘reform’ with ‘reforms’. It is to be
noted that the general rule for the phrase ‘one of the’ is “One of the + PLURAL NOUN + that/who etc. + SINGULAR/PLURAL VERB”. Moreover,
in the third part of the sentence, “had been” should be replaced with “has been” since, “Had been” means something began in the past, lasted for
some time, then ended. This is entirely in the past while, both “Has been” and “Have been” mean something began in the past and has lasted into the
present time. Drawing a hint from the phrase “the government in recent years”, it can be understood that a reform undertaken by the government has
been beneficial for (DBT) from past few years and still continues to be beneficial. However, part (II) of the sentence is from all grammatical errors.
Hence, option (d) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

281. Ans. (b)

There is an error in the second part of the sentence. To make the sentence grammatically correct, replace, the auxiliary verb ‘were’ with ‘was’, as the
subject [money] associated with verb is an uncountable noun. 'Money' is an uncountable noun. This is because we cannot say, "1 money, 2 money,
etc." It's true, that money can be counted in the sense as, "1 rupee, 2 rupees, etc." But we are counting 'rupees', not 'money'. Therefore, 'rupees'
makes money countable, so 'rupees' is a countable noun while ‘money’ is uncountable. Moreover, it is to be noted that with an uncountable noun the
verb associated is always singular. However, part (I) and (III) are devoid of all errors, hence, option (b) becomes the most viable answer choice.
282. Ans.(c)
The error lies in the third part of the sentence. It is to be noted that (a) little and (a) few are quantifiers meaning ‘some’. Little and few have negative
meanings. They are used to mean ‘not as much as may be expected or wished for’. ‘a little’ is used with singular uncountable nouns while ‘a few’
with plural countable nouns. Since the noun associated with the quantifier is an uncountable noun [extra spring in our step and sparkle in our eye],
the quantifier to be used should be ‘a little’. However, part (I) and (II) are grammatically correct therefore, option (c) becomes the most viable
answer choice.
283. Ans. (d)
The error lies in part (I) and part (II) of the sentence. It is to be noted that if the noun is modified by an adjective, an article is placed before the
adjective. Here the article which is used is “the” which should be replaced by “a”. Moreover, to make the second part of the sentence contextually
correct, replace ‘to’ with ‘about’. As part (III) of the sentence is error free, option (d) becomes the most suitable answer choice
284. Ans. (e)
All the parts of the given sentence are grammatically correct and contextually meaningful hence, do not require any corrections. Therefore, option
(e) becomes the most viable answer choice.
285. Ans. (c)
The error lies in parts (I) and (II) of the sentence. It is to be noted that to make the first part of the sentence grammatically correct, replace “dark blue
long” by “long dark blue”, since while describing a noun with adjective of size and adjective of colour, then the chronological order of the adjectives
should be size and then colour. In addition to, if more adjectives are used to describe the noun, then they should follow the following order:
adjective of size, adjective of general description, adjective of age, adjective of shape, adjective of colour, adjective of general origin, adjective of
material and lastly adjective of purpose. Moreover, part (II) of the sentence is in past continuous tense, while the activity of repainting the coaches is
of future, therefore, ‘had been’ should be replaced with ‘would’. Hence, option (c) is the most suitable answer choice.
286. Ans. (e)
All the given parts of the sentence are grammatically correct and do not require any replacement, hence, option (e) becomes the most suitable
answer choice.

Answers and Solutions

287. Ans (c)
In the first part of the sentence, the word trot means run at a moderate pace with short steps, so the preposition ‘to’ should be replaced by ‘at’
because someone will run at a moderate pace not to a moderate pace. In the second sentence, the word ‘fire’ should be replaced by ‘fires’ because if
two subjects are joined using “Either…or”, the verb agrees with its nearest subject, which in this case is ‘enemy’. The third part of the sentence is
grammatically correct as given in the question, so, it does not need any replacement. Hence (c) is the correct option.
288. Ans. (c)
In the first part of the sentence, ‘is’ should be replaced by ‘are’ because after “a number of” the verb is always plural. The second part of the
sentence is grammatically incorrect as “a” should not be used before people. In the third part of the sentence, ‘into’ should be replaced by ‘to’
because into means to indicate movement towards the inside of a place. For example, The children jumped into the lake for a swim. Here, Napoleon
is turning to Caulaincourt; he is not turning into Caulaincourt. Hence (c) is the correct option.

289. Ans. (a)

The first part of the sentence is grammatically correct as given in the question, so, it does not need any replacement. In the second part of the
sentence, ‘though’ should be replaced with ‘through’. Though means despite the fact that; although and through means as a result of. Here use of the
word ‘though’ will not make any sense and the sentence will become contextually incorrect. The third part of the sentence is grammatically correct
as given in the question, so, it does not need any replacement. Hence (a) is the correct option.
290. Ans. (c)
In the first part of the sentence, there is a minor error in the use of preposition “in” which should be replace by “from” to make the sentence
grammatically correct. In the second part of the sentence, the connector “while” should be replaced by “but also” as the use of “not only” in the first
part of the sentence indicates that it should be followed by “but also.” However, the third part of the sentence is grammatically correct and doesn’t
require any correction. Hence (c) is the correct choice.
291. Ans. (c)
Here, 'a' will not be used with 'by car'. In case of any mention about a specific car, we will use article but as the sentence mentions a general mode
of transport, we will omit any article before car. Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
292. Ans.(d)
Here, we will replace 'it is appearing' with 'it appears'. When we use 'appear' to convey the meaning similar to 'seem', we will use it as present
indefinite tense. Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

Answers And Solutions

293. Ans. (a)
The first part of the sentence is grammatically correct as given in the question, so, it does not need any replacement. In the second part of the
sentence, ‘though’ should be replaced with ‘through’. Though means despite the fact that; although and through means as a result of. Here use of the
word ‘though’ will not make any sense and the sentence will become contextually incorrect. The third part of the sentence is grammatically correct
as given in the question, so, it does not need any replacement. Hence (a) is the correct option.
294. Ans. (c)
In the first part of the sentence, there is a minor error in the use of preposition “in” which should be replace by “from” to make the sentence
grammatically correct. In the second part of the sentence, the connector “while” should be replaced by “but also” as the use of “not only” in the first
part of the sentence indicates that it should be followed by “but also.” However, the third part of the sentence is grammatically correct and doesn’t
require any correction. Hence (c) is the correct choice.
295. Ans. (c)
Here, 'a' will not be used with 'by car'. In case of any mention about a specific car, we will use article but as the sentence mentions a general mode of
transport, we will omit any article before car. Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
296. Ans.(d)
Here, we will replace 'it is appearing' with 'it appears'. When we use 'appear' to convey the meaning similar to 'seem', we will use it as present
indefinite tense. Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

297. Ans.(d)
Here, 'me' will be replaced by 'I' because in case of comparison between two subjects, 'than' will be followed by pronoun of normative case. Hence,
option (d) is the correct answer.
298. Ans.(b)
Here, we will omit 'almost' because using any adverb before 'quite' makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. Hence, option (b) is the correct
choice.
299. Ans. (e)
All the given statements are grammatically correct and require no correction. Hence, option (e) is correct answer.
300. Ans. (b)
Phrase (III) of the sentence contains an error. It is to be noted that the sentence is making a comparison between the peace generated through
information [noun- facts provided or learned about something or someone] and ignorant [adjective- lacking knowledge or awareness in general;
uneducated or unsophisticated]; thus, this comparison is vague as the subjects are of different parts of speech. Therefore, to make phrase (III)
grammatically correct, replace “ignorant” by “ignorance”. Hence, option (b) is the most suitable answer choice.
297. Ans. (a)
The first phrase of the sentence contains an error. It is to be noted that the sentence requires a subject to frame it into an appropriate grammatical
syntax. Here, “to remove” is an infinitive which cannot act as a subject to the sentence, therefore, it should be replaced by “Removing” which will
be a gerund and thus can be the subject of the sentence. All the other phrases are correct, hence, option (a) is the most suitable answer choice.
298. Ans. (e)
In the given sentence, along with the highlighted phrases the non-highlighted phrases are grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Since,
they do not require any corrections, option (e) is the most suitable answer choice.

Answers And Solutions

313Ans.: (d)

314Ans.: (a)

315Ans.: (a)

316Ans.:

The error lies in the part I which uses past tense with "was" and that does not fit in grammatically with the meaning of the sentence. The correct

tense is simple present.

Therefore, error lies in part 1 of the sentence, therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.

Corrected sentence:

Violence is all around us spreading and clawing on forward with each new manifestation while non-violence struggles to be heard from the

shadows.

317Ans.:

The error lies in the part II of the sentence. Firstly, when relative pronoun is used in the sentence, then verb is used according to number of the

subject used just before the relative pronoun. Here, relative pronoun is which. The subject used just before it "testing programme", it is a

singular noun. Hence, verb should also be singular. Thus, replace have with has. Now, deepen is a main verb, hence its past participle(V3) is

deepened. So, replace deepen with deepened. Thus, the correct form is "has deepened". So, option 2 is the correct answer.

318Ans.:

The error lies in part III because of preposition "from" which generally expresses the beginning of some duration and this meaning does not fit

in with the sentence. Whereas, "for" expresses present point of duration and better fit the meaning in the sentence.

Therefore, error lies in part 3 of the sentence, therefore, option 5 is the correct answer.

319Ans.:

The error lies in part II of the sentence. It would be 'people who might'.

320Ans.(e)
There is no error in the given statement.
321Ans.(c)
The error is in part (c) of the sentence.
Remove ‘had’ as we need to use only simple past.
The work which is completed first must be written in Past Perfect i.e., (subject +had + v3 ) which becomes THE PLANE HAD LEFT.
The work which is completed after must be written in SIMPLE PAST i.e., (subject+ v2 + object ) which becomes HE REACHED THE
AIRPORT.
322Ans: (c) The Past Perfect refers to a time earlier than before now. It is used to make it clear that one event happened before another in the Past. Event
one is written in Simple Past and the event two in Past Perfect.
323Ans: (b) In place of forbearance to, we should use forbearance towards. forbearance (Noun): patient self-control; tolerance show forbearance towards
somebody : exercise forbearance in dealing with people.
324Ans: (b) In place of abounding with we should use abounded with. abound with/ abound in : contained, full of.
325Ans: (e) No error.
326Ans: (d) just law is in Third Person, Singular Number. So, interfere → interferes. The sentence is in Simple Present Tense. Therefore, which a just law
interferes with is the right usage.
327. Ans. (c)
Substitute ‘into’ in place of ‘with’.
328. Ans. (b)
Remove ‘who’ from the sentence.
329. Ans. (a)
Use article ‘a’ before ‘successful person’ because person is a countable noun and ‘successful persons’ can also be used to make the sentence
correct.
330. Ans. (d)
Remove ‘back’ after ‘revert’.
331. Ans. (e)
No error.
332Ans: (b) almost a hour → almost an hour because h of hour is pronounced with Vowel sound. an (In def. Art.) is used before a Vowel sound.
333Ans: (b) you stay → you on staying, because insist is always followed by Prep.on.
334Ans: (d) so bad should be replaced with so badly. Bad is an Adj. and its Adv.ial form is badly.
Q335 At my arrival(a)/ in Del hi(b)/ I went straight(c)/ to the nearest hospital.(d)/ No error(e) Ans: (a) on/upon my arrival will replace at my arrival

Answers And Solutions

447. Ans. (e)

There is no error in any part of the sentence as the sentence is grammatically correct. Hence (e) is the correct choice.

448. Ans. (d)

There is an error in the part (d) of the sentence. The verb “paid” in the expression “and paid more attention to corporate governance issues” is

incorrectly matched. It should follow the same form as in the highlighted part i.e. present participle form of the verb so used “rejecting”; thus,

the correct replacement of the verb

“paid” should be “paying” to make the sentence grammatically correct. Hence (d) is the correct choice.

448. Ans. (b)

There is an error in the part (b) of the sentence. There should be the inclusion of pronoun “who” that would add meaning to the sentence. The

correct expression should be “say scientists who analysed”; “who” in this case refers to the scientists. Hence option (b) is the correct choice.

449Ans.(a)

There is an error in part (a) of the sentence. The subject “Silicon Valley’s social media giant” should be replaced by its plural form “Silicon

Valley’s social media giants” , it can be verified from the latter or the bold parts of the sentence that the subject they are referring should be in

plural form [themselves]. Other parts of the sentence are grammatically correct. Hence (a) is the correct choice.

450Ans. (e)

There is no error in any part of the sentence as the sentence is grammatically correct. Hence (e) is the correct choice.

451. Ans. (b)

The verb “condemned” in part (b) of the sentence should be replaced by “condemning” as the use of the verb “acknowledging” in the

highlighted part of the sentence suggests that both the verbs refer to the same subject and thus they should follow the same form to validate the

subject-verb agreement. Other parts of the sentence are grammatically correct to provide a contextual meaning to the sentence. Hence option (b)

is the correct choice.

452. Ans. (b)

Answers And Solutions

453. Ans. (c)
There is an error in part (c) of the sentence. The phrase “has somehow had a scarce” should be replaced by “has somehow been a scarce” as
the former part of the sentence suggests that the sentence follows the Present Perfect Continuous Tense, though in the passive form. Moreover,
the use of the verb “has had” is incorrect in the context of the meaning of the sentence. Other parts of the sentence do not require any
correction. Hence option (c) is the correct choice.
454. Ans. (d)
There is an error in the part (d) of the sentence. The verb “excludes” should be replaced by its plural form “exclude” to comply with the subject-
verb agreement. It is to be noted that the subject of the verb “exclude” is in plural “absurd calculations” which should be followed by the
similar form of the verb. Hence option (d) is the correct choice.
455. Ans. (a)
There is an error in the part (a) of the sentence. The use of “been” is incorrectly matched with the structure of the sentence. The sentence simply
follows the Present Perfect Tense with “The National Health Policy 2017” as the subject. The correct expression should be “The National
Health Policy 2017 has proposed” to make the sentence grammatically correct. Hence option (a) is the correct choice.
456. Ans. (c)
There is an error in the part (c) of the sentence. The adjective “forbidden” doesn’t fit into the theme of the sentence as it means not allowed;
banned. It should be replaced by the correct adjective “forbidding” which means unfriendly or threatening in appearance. The expression
“the forbidding challenge of the ISIS” gives a contextual meaning to the sentence. Hence option (c) is the correct choice.

457. Ans. (e)

There is no error in any part of the sentence as the sentence is grammatically correct. Hence (e) is the correct choice.
458. Ans. (b)
There is an error in the part (b) of the sentence. The correct form of the verb should be “has” instead of “having” to make the sentence
structurally correct. Other parts would correctly follow this change to form a coherent sentence. Hence option (b) is the correct choice.
459. Ans. (b)
There is a grammatical error in only the part (II) of the sentence, the verb “are” should be replaced by “is” as the subject of the verb is singular
[the entire idea]. The other two parts are both grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Hence option (b) is the correct choice.

Answers And Solutions

460. Ans. (c)
There are grammatical errors in both the parts (I) and (II). In the part (I), the determiner “much” should be replaced by “many” as the noun it
signifies is countable [city dwellers]. It is to be noted that both ‘much’ and ‘many’ are determiners, and have the same or similar meaning i.e.,
‘a lot of’, or ‘in great quantities’, or ‘a great amount’, but their usage differs. If a noun is an uncountable noun (which is often in singular
form), the ‘much’ determiner should be used, while the determiner ‘many’ should be used with countable nouns, or plural nouns. In the part (II)
of the sentence, the preposition “along” should be replaced by
“with” as “to have some links with their rural homes” is the correct expression in the context of the sentence. The part (III) of the sentence doesn’t
require any correction. Hence option (c) is the correct expression.

461. Ans. (a)

There is an error in only the part (I) of the sentence, the singular form of the word “group” should be replaced by its plural “groups” as the
word is used for all three: women, youth and elderly citizens i.e., group of women, group of youth and group of elderly citizens. The other
parts of the sentence are both grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Hence option (a) is the correct choice.
462. Ans. (e)
The given sentence is both grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Hence option (e) is the correct choice.
463. Ans. (b)
There is an error in the part (III) of the sentence, the verb “support” should be replaced by “supports” as the subject of the verb is singular
[MSP]. The other parts of the sentence are both grammatically and contextually correct. Hence option (b) is the correct choice.
464Ans.(a)
The sentence (a) is grammatically correct. Hence, the option (a) is the correct answer.
In sentence (b), when the verb ‘found’ is followed by an adjective, ‘to be’ is not used before the adjective. E.g. They were found safe and well.
The error in (c) is the incorrect usage of the preposition in ‘with cheating’. The correct phrase to be used is ‘of cheating’.
The error in (d) is the incorrect usage of the infinitive phrase ‘to helped’. The correct infinitive phrase to be used is ‘to help’.
465Ans.(d)
The sentence (d) is grammatically correct. Hence, the option (d) is the correct answer.
In sentence (a), “have” should be replaced by “has” as the noun associated to it is singular.
In sentence (b), “what” should be replaced by “how” to frame a contextually meaningful sentence.
In sentence (c), “had” should be replaced by “will” since the beginning of the sentence “With growing automation” indicates that the sentence
should follow the syntax of future continuous tense.

Answers And Solutions

484. Ans. (b)
Only sentence (I) is grammatically incorrect. In order to correct the sentence, replace “this incident” by “those incidents” as phrases like “one of”,
“either of”, “neither of”, “every one of” etc. take plural noun or pronoun with them to frame a precise grammatical structure for the sentence.
Sentence (II) and (III) are grammatically correct. Hence, option (b) is the most suitable answer choice.
485. Ans. (a)
Sentences (II) and (III) are grammatically incorrect. It is to be noted in sentence (II) who should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence; while
Whom should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition. Therefore, to correct sentence (II), replace “who” by “whom” as the pronoun is
required to refer the object “Rajapaksa”. Moreover, in sentence (III) the correct phrase should be “No sooner did we get the news…” as in the cases,
where a sentence begins with “no sooner”, the auxiliary verb is placed before the subject. Sentence (I) is grammatically correct. Hence, option (a) is
the most suitable answer choice.
486. Ans. (c)
Sentence (III) is grammatically incorrect. In this sentence, the verb you’re considering is inside a relative clause—“that have made a mark in my
life.” It’s called relative clauses because it begins with one of the relative pronouns: “that.” “That” is the subject of the relative clause, and it takes
its number from the plural noun to which it refers. In this case, that word is “novels,” so you use a plural verb: “one of the novels that have made a
mark” is the correct sentence. Sentences (I) and (II) are
grammatically and contextually viable. Hence, option (c) is the most suitable answer choice.
487. Ans. (e)
All the given sentences are grammatically and contextually meaningful. It is to be noted that when only after, only if, only in this way etc. are
placed at the beginning of the sentence for rhetorical effect, the subject and auxiliary are inverted. We use inversion in several different
situations in English. Inversion just means putting the verb before the subject. Since, all the three sentences are devoid of any grammatical errors,
option (e) becomes the most suitable answer choice.
Sentence (II) and (III) contain errors in them. In sentence (II) replace the clause “we always honor our veterans” by “we should always honor our
veterans”, In addition to this, the conjunction lest has a negative meaning itself therefore, it should not be used with not. The only auxiliary verb that
can follow lest is “should”. Next, in sentence (III), “lesser” should be replaced by “fewer” as fewer means “not as many.” We use fewer with
countable nouns like cookies; while less means “not as much.” We use less with uncountable nouns like milk. Since, only sentence (I) is
grammatically and contextually correct, option (c) becomes the most suitable answer choice.
488. Ans. (b)
There is an error in the statement (II). Instead of ‘came’, ‘come’ would come because after ‘do, does, did’, first form of verb is used.
The statements (I) and (III) are grammatically correct.
Hence, the option (b) is the correct answer.
489. Ans. (d)
There is an error in the statement (III). ‘to’ needs to be removed because if after any form of ‘do’ ‘but’ is used to mean ‘except’, then verb is used
without ‘to’.
The other statements (I) and (III) are grammatically correct.
Hence, the option (d) is the correct answer.

Answers And Solutions

491. Ans. (b)
There is an error in the statements (I) & (II).
In the statement (I), instead of ‘fell’, ‘felled’ would be used. Here, ‘fell’ is not the second-form of verb of ‘fall’, but, here, ‘fell’ means ‘cut
down (a tree)’. The context of the sentence demands a simple past form of ‘fell’ which is ‘felled’. In the statement (II), instead of ‘obtain’,
‘obtaining’ would be used.
The statement (III) is grammatically correct.
Hence, the option (b) is the correct answer.
492. Ans. (e)
All of the three sentences are grammatically correct.
Hence, the option (e) is the correct answer.
493. Ans. (d)
There is a grammatical error in the sentence (I).
In the sentence (I), ‘were’ needs to be removed because the sentence is in ‘active voice’.
The sentences (II) and (III) are grammatically correct.
Hence, the option (d) is the correct answer.
494.Ans. (c)
The correction must be in the part (C) of the sentence .Instead of ‘my life have been’ it must be ‘my life has been’. The subject and verb of a
sentence must agree with one another in number whether they are singular or plural. If the subject of the sentence is singular, its verb must also
be singular; and if the subject is plural, the verb must also be plural.
495.Ans. (a)
The correction is in part (D) of the sentence .The past perfect tense is formed with had + the past participle. Examples of past perfect verbs
include "had talked," "had danced," and "had grown."
The seven hours of watching were completed before George's mom came home, so we use the past perfect for the verb "to watch." The action
that comes first should be in the past perfect tense.
496.Ans. (b)
The correction must be in part (C) of the sentence. Costly must be before enough. The function of an adverb in a sentence is to modify a verb,
an adjective or another adverb. An adverb of quantity is an adverb that concerns itself with how many. Adverb of quantity must always be used
after that adjective
or adverb whose quality it is mentioning. For example, intelligent enough, kind enough, helpful enough, fast enough.
497.Ans. (c)
The correction is in the part (C) of the sentence. ’Until’ must be used instead of ‘unless’. This is because ‘until’ signifies the usage of time
while ‘unless’ defines the usage of condition.
For example,
You will not succeed unless you work hard.
Condition
I will not go out until he comes.

Time
498.Ans. (c)
Error is in part (A) of the sentence. ’Don’t’ will not be used. Word hardly itself is negative. Negative words like
don’t/doesn’t/didn’t/hasn’t/haven’t are not used in these types of sentences.
For example, He hardly comes.
499. Ans. (b)
Sentence (b) is incorrect. ‘he can’ should be used in place of ‘could’ as the sentence is in present tense.

Answers And Solutions

506. Ans. (e)
‘has’ will be used in place of ‘is having’ as verbs telling about possession or ownership is used in simple tense, not in continuous tense.
507.16: 4
Write ‘speaking with’ in place of ‘to speak to’.
508Ans.17: 5
No error.
509Ans.18: 1
“Men” should be replaced with “man” and “were” should be changed to “was”.
510Ans.19: 1
Replace ‘agenda” by ‘agendas’.
511Ans.20: 2
Replace ‘among’ by ‘between’
512. Ans. (c)
The correct sequence is ‘EBCAD’.
Instead of ‘came’, ‘come’ should be present because only first-form of verb is used after the helping verb ‘did’.
Hence, the correct option is the option (c).
Ravi and Sheela did not came out victorious in a tennis mix-double match, yet they were not sad rather happy for they had given their best in
the match.
513. Ans. (d)
The correct sequence for the sentence is ‘DCEBA’.
The usage of the word ‘only’ in the place where it is used is wrong. It should come before ‘six hundred rupees’.
Rule: Kindly keep in mind that ‘only’, ‘almost’, ‘even’ etc. are generally used before the very word which they qualify.
For example, Only Rihana went there.
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
In spite of the fact that Ajit only earns six hundred rupees a month he manages to support his family.
514. Ans. (c)
The correct sequence is ‘ADBEC’.
The given sentence, upon rearrangement, has no error in it.
Hence, the correct answer is the option (c).
Hardly had Sita bought the train ticket when the guard showed the flag and the train started moving.
515. Ans. (a)
The correct sequence is ‘DACEB’.
The usage of ‘kindly’ is wrong in the part (D) because words like ‘kindly’, ‘please’ used in the active voice are replaced in the passive voice
with ‘you (/ he and she, they etc…) are requested’. Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
Kamla and Kamili were kindly requested to attend the conference in which speeches on the evils of communalism were to be delivered.
516. Ans. (b)
The correct sequence for the sentence would be DBEAC.
There is an error in the part (A). Instead of ‘she left’, ‘she had left’ would come because ‘Shalini found’ is an event of the Past tense and
‘leaving her passport’ is the Past event of the Past event, and for a Past event of the Past event, ‘Past Perfect’ is used. So, ‘she had left’ would be
used.
Hence, the correct answer is the option (b).
On reaching the port Shalini found that she left her passport in the drawing room.

Answers And Solutions

517. Ans. (a)
The correct sequence for the given sentence is ECABD.
There is an error in the part (A) of the sentence. The usage of the preposition ‘with’ is wrong, and instead, the preposition ‘from’ should have
been used because ‘free somebody from something’ or ‘free from something’ are used.
Hence, the correct answer is option (a).
Sarita became able to relieve herself with her debts by working hard.
518. Ans. (b)
The correct sequence is ECADB.
There is an error in the part (D). The usage of ‘it’ is superfluous because the object of ‘bought’ is ‘which’.
Hence, the option (b) is the correct answer.
This is the new novel which my father bought it for my sister.
519. Ans. (e)
Even though the correct sequence for the sentence is ADBCE, the error does not contain in part (D). The error is in part (B) of the sentence.
The words another and other mean the same thing, except that another is used with a singular noun and other is used with uncountable and
plural nouns. Therefore, ‘another’ should be replaced by ‘other’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Scientific papers are for sharing your own original research work with another scientists or for reviewing the research conducted by others.
Since, none of the options aptly reflect the correct sequence and the correct erroneous part, option (e) becomes the most suitable answer choice.
520. Ans. (b)
The correct sequence for the sentence is BDAEC.
There is an error in the part (D). Instead of ‘I will be thirty-five’, ‘I am thirty-five’ should be used because Simple present tense is used in the
‘Dependent Clauses’ which start with ‘when’ and Future Tense is used in the ‘Main clause’.
For example,
‘When you are forty-five, your sister will be fifty-four.’
Hence, the option (b) is the correct answer.
When I will be thirty-five most of my teachers will be above fifty-five, be sure.
521. Ans. (d)
The correct sequence for the sentence is CAEDB.
The given sentence is grammatically correct and contextually meaningful and doesn’t require any correction.
Hence, the option (d) is the correct answer.
One of the biggest factories in Kolkata is on the verge of declaring a lock-out.

522. Ans. (d)
The first part of the sentence is grammatically correct. However, there are certain grammatical errors in both the fourth and the fifth parts of the
sentence. In the fourth part, the expression “implementation” lacks the use of preposition; so, it should be replaced by “in implementing” to
make the sentence grammatically feasible. Similarly, in the fifth part of the sentence, the preposition “to” should be replaced by “by” to make
the sentence grammatically correct. At the end, the correct expression should be “by providing them financial support”. Hence among the
given alternatives, option (d) is the correct choice.
523. Ans. (e)
The given sentence is grammatically correct and doesn’t require any correction. Hence option (e) is the correct choice.
524. Ans. (a)
There is a grammatical error in only the third part of the sentence. The verb “announced” should be replaced by “announcing” to make the
sentence grammatically feasible. It can well be guessed from the verb used in the highlighted part of the sentence. Hence the option (a) is the
correct choice.
525. Ans. (c)
There are certain grammatical errors in both the fourth and the fifth parts of the sentence. In the fourth part of the sentence, the preposition
“along” should be replaced by “over” as the correct preposition to replace the word should be “over” which means expressing duration.
Similarly, in the fifth part of the sentence, the preposition “in” should be replaced by “from” as the correct expression should be “higher
temperatures from increased greenhouse gases in the air” to make the sentence
grammatically correct. Hence the option (c) is the correct choice.
526. Ans. (e)
The given sentence is grammatically correct and doesn’t require any correction. Hence the option (e) is the correct choice.

527. Ans. (a)

There is a minor mistake in the second part of the sentence. The expression “a convenient planks” should be replaced by “a convenient plank”
as the article “a” in the sentence suggests that the noun it refers should be in the singular number to make the sentence grammatically correct.
The other parts of the sentence are grammatically correct. Hence option (a) is the correct choice.

Answers And solutions

528. Ans. (e)
The given sentence is grammatically correct and doesn’t require any correction. Hence the option (e) is the correct choice.
529. Ans. (c)
The sentence can be corrected by replacing the phrases (A) and (B) with (I) and (II) respectively. Phrase (A) creates a contextual error, “have”
should be replaced by “are”. Moreover, in phrase (B) “Which” should be replaced by “who” as Who" (or whom) is a pronoun, and is used as the
subject or object of a verb to show which person you are referring to, or to add information about a person just mentioned. It is used for people,
not things while "which" is a pronoun, and is used as the subject or object of a verb to show what thing or things you are referring to, or to add
information about the thing just mentioned. It is used for things, not people. All the other highlighted phrases are correct. Hence, option (c) is
the most suitable answer choice.
530. Ans. (b)
Phrases (B) and (C) of the sentence contain errors in them. In phrase (B) “strength” should be replaced by “strong” as ‘strength’ is a noun while
‘strong’ is an adjective. Therefore to describe the quality of the noun ‘position’, an adjective must be used. Moreover in phrase (C), there is an
idiomatic error. The idiom ‘to and fro’ means in a constant movement backwards and forwards or from side to side while ‘pro and cons’ means
advantages and disadvantages of something which are considered carefully so as to make a sensible decision. Therefore, to frame a contextually
meaningful sentence the phrases (B) and (C) should be replaced by (II) and (III). Hence, option (b) is the most suitable answer choice.
531. Ans. (a)
The sentence can be corrected by replacing the phrases (C) and (D) with (III) and (IV) respectively. In phrase (C), “has” should be replaced by
“have” as here the subject of sentence is " Rs. 91,000 in grants" which shows that this amount is spent in different grants(schemes), so it being
plural will take plural verb "have" with it. In phrase (D), there is a prepositional error. “to” should be replaced by “at” as preposition “at” is used
while describing a specific place. All the other highlighted phrases are correct. Hence, option (a) is the most suitable answer choice.
532. Ans. (c)
The sentence can be corrected by replacing the phrases (A) and (B) with (I) and (II) respectively. In phrase (A) the infinitive “to make” should
be replaced by the gerund “making” as a gerund is the –ing form of a verb that functions the same as a noun while the infinitive form of a verb
appears either as the basic form (with no marking) or with the word “to” and cannot take place of a noun. In the given sentence the activity of
making the connection and distinction is a noun phrase, hence instead of an infinitive, a gerund must be used. Moreover in phrase (B) ‘among’
should be replaced by ‘between’ as between is used when naming distinct, individual items (can be 2, 3, or more)
while among is used when the items are part of a group, or are not specifically named (MUST be 3 or more). All the other highlighted phrases
are correct. Hence, option (c) is the most suitable answer choice.

Answers And Solutions

533. Ans. (e)
All the highlighted phrases of the given sentence are correct and do not require any corrections or replacements. Hence, option (e) is the most
suitable answer choice.
534. Ans. (c)
The expressions given in bold in both the parts (I) and (III) require some changes to make the sentence contextually meaningful. In the part (I),
“conveys that the army in specific” is the correct expression. We cannot use “in specifically” as the word adverb “specifically” itself means in a
way that is exact and clear; precisely. The second part of the sentence is absolutely correct. However, in the part (III), the expression “take the
battle for enemy territory” should be replaced by “taking the battle into enemy territory” to make the sentence both grammatically correct and
contextually meaningful. Hence option (c) is the correct choice.
535. Ans. (a)
The expression given in bold in only the first part requires the correction. It is to be noted that since the verb “costs” is used in the singular form, the
subject should also be in the similar form to comply with the subject-verb agreement. Thus, the expression “Considering average-sized nuclear
plants” should be replaced by “Seeing that an average-sized nuclear plant” to make it grammatically feasible. The other two parts are both
grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Hence option (a) is the correct choice.
536. Ans. (d)
There are errors in both the highlighted parts (II) and (III) of the sentence. In the part (II), the expression “does not existed in many” should be
replaced by “does not exist in many” as the verb following do/does/did should be in its base form. In the part (III), the verb “treat” should be
replaced by “treated” as the two verbs “seen” and “treated” should be in the same form. The first part is both grammatically and contextually
correct. Hence option (d) is the correct choice.
537. Ans. (e)
The given sentence is grammatically correct and at the same time it is contextually meaningful. So, none of the bold parts requires correction or
replacement. Hence option (e) is the correct choice.
538. Ans. (b)
There is an error in only the second part of the sentence; the plural verb “have” should be replaced by its singular “has” as the subject of the verb is
singular [South Korea]. The other two expressions given in bold are both grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Hence option (b) is
the correct choice.

Q539. [I] The global economy is likely to expand at its fastest pace since 2011, according to new estimates from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Answers And solutions

539. Ans. (b)
Among the given sentences only sentence (III) contains a grammatical error in it. To make the sentence grammatically correct replace
‘recovering’ with ‘to recover’ as if the main verb has an object [The global economy] that is a noun or a pronoun, it is almost always followed
by an infinitive verb instead of a gerund. Therefore, option (b) becomes the most suitable answer choice.
540. Ans. (c)
Both the sentences (II) and (III) are grammatically incorrect.
In sentence [II] the expression “No method” should be replaced by “No other method” to make the
sentence grammatically correct. It is to be noted that to express a comparison between one method with the other methods the correct phrase
that should provide the precise contextual meaning to the sentence is “no other method”. Moreover, in sentence [III] replace “not only equipped
with” with “equipped not only with” as “not only…but also” is used to connect two prepositional phrases [with all state of the art instruments]
and [with outstanding physicists]. Hence option (c) becomes the most suitable answer choice
541Ans. (a)
Sentence [I] and [III] are absolutely correct and do not require any corrections. However, sentence [II] contains a grammatical error. Thus, to
make the sentence grammatically correct replace the verb “reside” with “resides” as the subject [this decision] of the verb is singular therefore
to comply with the rule of subject-verb agreement the verb of the subject should also be in its singular form. Hence, option (a) becomes the
most suitable answer choice.
542. Ans. (d)
Sentence (I) and (III) are grammatically incorrect. In sentence (I), the preposition ‘at’ should be added after the verb firing to make the sentence
contextually correct. Moreover, sentences (III) can be corrected with the omission of “all” as it is superfluous in the sentence; ‘monthly
expense’ itself means all the kinds of expenses in the month. Hence, option (d) becomes the most suitable answer choice.
543. Ans. (a)
Among all the given sentences, sentence (II) does not follow the correct grammatical syntax of the sentence. Thus, to make the sentence
grammatically correct replace the verb “need” with “needs” as the subject [our country] of the verb is singular therefore to comply with the rule
of subject-verb agreement the verb of the subject should also be in its singular form [needs]. Hence, option (a) becomes the most suitable
answer choice.
544. Ans. (d)
Both the sentences (II) and (III) are grammatically and contextually correct. However, there is an error in the first sentence; It is to be noted that
in this case the subject is singular [The science of course] therefore, the plural verb “play” should be replaced by its singular “plays” to comply
with the subject-verb agreement. Hence option (d) is the correct choice.

545. Ans. (e)

All the given sentences are both grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Hence option (e) is the correct choice.
546. Ans. (c)
Both the sentences (I) and (II) are grammatically and contextually correct. However, the third statement carries a grammatical mistake; the
conjunction “but” should be removed as it is superfluous to the sentence. It is to be noted that the sentence is already connected by another
conjunction “though” which means despite the fact that; although. So, the use of another conjunction in the same context is incorrect. Hence
option (c) is the correct choice.

Answers And Solutions

547. Ans. (a)
Only the first sentence is grammatically correct. There are errors in both the second and the third statements. In the second case, the noun
‘territory” should be replaced by the adjective “territorial” to make the sentence grammatically correct. In the third statement, the plural subject
“views” should be replaced by its singular “view” to follow the rule of subject-verb agreement. Hence option (a) is the correct choice.
548. Ans. (e)
All the given sentences are both grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Hence option (e) is the correct choice.
549. Ans. (c)
Reparation- the action of making amends for a wrong one has done, by providing payment or other assistance to those who have been wronged.
The given statement states that how some measures are taken by the government under the transitional justice, where the compensation in any
form is provided to the accused person.
In part (III), ‘of’ needs to be replaced by ‘to’ because some compensation is being provided by government to the victims under ‘transitional
justice’.
Both the given part (I) and (III) need to be replaced so as to make the given statement correct.
550. Ans. (b)
There is an error only in the second part of the sentence. The given sentence suggests the idea that the classical economists nowadays believe
that prolonged unemployment while recession will not satisfy the conditions of prices and wages returning to equilibrium in the economy.
In (II) part of the sentence, ‘the persistence of unemployment’ is singular so it will be followed by ‘does’ instead of ‘do’. The given part (II)
needs to be replaced so as to make the given statement correct.
Hence, the option (b) is the correct answer.
551. Ans. (c)
There is error in both (I) and (II) parts of the sentence.
In (I) part of the sentence; ‘has been a member of’ is a present perfect continuous tense, it should be followed either by ‘since’ or ‘from’, here in
the sentence 1961 is a definite point in the timeline so the sentence should be followed by ‘since’ instead of ‘from’.
The given part (II), ‘pull over’ which means (of a vehicle) move to the side of or off the road; which is incorrectly used here needs to be replace
by ‘pull out’ which means withdraw from an undertaking.
Hence, the option (c) is the correct answer.

Answers And Solutions

552. Ans. (d)
There is error in both (I) and (III) parts of the sentence.
The grammatically correct structure of the (I) part of the sentence would be “The history of IVF shows that there was no demonstrable case
made for the necessity of test-tube babies”
The grammatically correct structure of the (III) part of the sentence would be “conclude that IVF babies would be as healthy or no more at risk
from infections than naturally conceived babies”
Since we can’t find any given option suitable to replace the given grammatically incorrect parts of the sentence.
Hence, the option (d) is the correct answer.
553. Ans. (b)
There is error in both (II) and (III) parts of the sentence.
The grammatically correct structure of the (II) part of the sentence would be “their greenhouse gas emissions within the next decade, UN
Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told”
The grammatically correct structure of the (III) part of the sentence would be “delegates at the opening of a UN climate summit: “We are still
not doing enough, nor moving fast enough”
Since we can’t find any grammatically correct given option suitable to replace the (III) part of the given sentence.
Hence, the option (b) is the correct answer.
554. Ans. (c)
Option (c) is the correct answer. ‘Their’ will be replaced by ‘there’ as it is an adverb which is used
in, at, or to that place or position or used in attracting someone's attention or calling attention to someone or something. On the other hand
‘their’ is a determiner for belonging to or associated with the people or things previously mentioned or easily identified.
In part III , since the whole of it is a universal statement ,’were’ will not be used , ‘are’ will be used .
555. Ans. (b)
Option (b) is the most appropriate choice to be selected as the answer of the question. The parts (I) and (II) are correct grammatically. In part
(III) , instead of ‘have for anticipation’ , ‘having to anticipate’ must be used. Rather than usually occurs between two things which are being
compared. However, we can also
use it at the beginning of a sentence .When we use rather than with a verb, we use the base form or (less commonly) the -ing form of a verb.
556. Ans. (c)
Option (c) is the correct choice as the answer of the question. Part (I) must have changes in which instead of ‘concerning’, ‘concerns’ must be
used .This is in relevance to the context of the statement. In part (II), instead of ‘machinery’, ‘machines’ must be used. Furthermore the sentence
is in past tense so the form of the verb that will be used after the word they will be ‘carried’ instead of ‘carry’. Hence option (c) is the
appropriate answer.
557. Ans. (b)
Option (b) is the most appropriate choice among all the choices. In part (I),the preposition ‘of’ must be replaced by the preposition ‘for’ after
‘the power’ as of means ‘away or away from’. The preposition ‘for’, on the other hand came from ‘before’, which
Also means ‘on the account of’. Part (II) is correct as given in the question. In part (III) , ‘oppressing’ is the wrong form of verb used , here
what is needed in a sentence is noun i.e. “oppression and chauvinism”.

Answers And Solutions

558. Ans. (c)
Option (c) is the correct choice. Instead of ‘packing’, ‘package’ must be used. Furthermore, it will take the form of the verb that is plural that is
‘forms’ and not ‘form’. Part (II) is correct as it is. In part (III) , after the preposition ‘for’ , exemption must be used and not exempting from
paying rates.
559. Ans. (d)
“appears to be” is the correct phrase to be replaced making the sentence meaningful and correct.
Here in the sentence the subject of the sentence, ‘…gun system’ is singular.
Hence option (d) is the correct choice.
560. Ans. (b)
“renders” should be replaced by “render” to make it grammatically and contextually correct. In the given sentence “the India Meteorological
Department and the erratic nature of rainfall” together make a plural subject so the verb followed should be according to the subject.
Hence option (b) is the correct choice
561. Ans. (b)
Sentence (b) contains an error of subject-verb agreement. These nouns [statistics] appear to be plural (end in s), but generally refer to only one
thing and are, therefore, generally considered singular.
Hence option (b) is the correct choice.
562. (d)
Option (d) is given in the passive form, but the syntax is incorrect. ‘Been’ should follow the helping verb ‘has’.
So, the correct sentence is ‘A science book has been bought by Ramesh to prepare for his class 12th exams.’
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
563. (a)
In the option (a), the use of ‘always’ is incorrect because always, seldom, never etc are primarily used before the main verb.
Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

Answers And Solutions

564. Ans. (d)
While the quantifier ‘a little’ means something that is not much in quantity, ‘little’ means something that is almost nil. In the case of sentence
(IV), there is almost no knowledge of a certain fact.
Hence except (IV), all sentences are grammatically correct.
565. Ans. (c)
“A good deal” is used as a quantifier with uncountable nouns, like work, writing, etc. The phrase, when not used as a quantifier, can simply
mean a deal that is good, like in sentence (III). But the phrase cannot be used as a quantifier with countable nouns as in sentence (II). Hence all
sentences except (II) are grammatically correct.
566. Ans. (c)
In case of sentence (I), replace ‘were’ by ‘was’ as “The Secretary and Treasurer” denotes the same person. However, if “The Secretary and the
Treasurer” were used, then the verb “were” would have been correct as it denotes two different persons and in such cases, it takes plural verb.
e.g. The Secretary and Principal has come.
The Secretary and the Principal have come.
In sentence (III), remove ‘to’ after ‘resembles’ to make the sentence grammatically correct. “Resemble” is a Transitive Verb and thus it is
always followed by Object and not ‘to’, ‘with’, etc.
e.g. She resembles her mother.
Hence only sentences (II) and (IV) are grammatically correct.
567. Ans. (a)
In sentence (II), replace ‘take’ by ‘takes’ to make the sentence grammatically correct as “One of” is followed by a Plural Noun or Pronoun but
it always takes Singular verb.
e.g. One of the volcanic eruptions takes place.
In sentence (III), ‘you’ should be followed by ‘are’ as “you” is such a Pronoun which acts the same way in both Nominative Case and Objective
Case.
In sentence (IV), replace ‘his’ by “one’s” as when the subject of the sentence is “One” and it refers to ‘anybody’ then the possessive of ‘one’ is
“one’s”.
Hence only sentence (I) is grammatically correct.
568. Ans. (e)
All the given sentences are grammatically correct
569. Ans. (b)
The sentence given in option (b) is erroneous. The article ‘an’ shouldn’t be used prior to the adjective ‘intelligent’. When two adjectives are
used for a single noun, then article is used only for the first adjective.
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

Answers And Solutions

570. Ans. (c)
The sentence given in the option (b) is erroneous. Instead of ‘questions’’, ‘questions’ should be used.
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
571. Ans. (a)
The sentence given in the option (a) is erroneous. Instead of ‘hairs’, ‘hair’ should be used and instead of ‘are’, ‘is’ should be used. ‘Hair’ is a
collective noun and an uncountable noun but when it is counted, it becomes countable noun, and, in such situations, it is said ‘a hair, two hairs’
etc.
Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
572. Ans. (d)
The sentence given in the option (b) is erroneous.
Instead of ‘was’, ‘were’ should be used because there is an imagination in the sentence.
Please note that the sentences starting with ‘if’ uses ‘were’ after Subject but if ‘if’ is removed, then ‘were’ would appear before Subject.
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.
573. Ans. (b)
The sentence given in option (b) is erroneous. The error is in phrase ‘If I was Rajesh’. Instead ‘was’, ‘were’ should be used because while
giving advice, ‘If I were You/Rajesh’ is used.
All the other sentences are grammatically correct.
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
574. Ans. (b)
Option (b) is the only choice among all the given options which is grammatically correct. In option (a) ‘see’ will be used instead of ‘seen’. In
option (d) ‘usually’ will be used instead of ‘usual’.
575. Ans. (a)
Only option (a) is the one which is grammatically correct among all the given options. In option (b) , ‘confined’ will be used instead of
‘confine’ as the sentence is referring about the event happened in past. Option (c) will also take the past form of ‘come’ that is ‘came’. In option
(d), this is another kind of sign behavior is an appropriate usage and not ‘signing’ behavior.
576. Ans.(c)
Option (c) is the most appropriate answer as it is the choice which is grammatically correct. In option (a) , it must be “India’s national pastime is
cricket.” Option (b) will take a past form of verb ‘confirm’. So it will be ‘confirmed’. The correction for option (d) will be ‘He himself didn’t
have much hope of recovery”.

577. Ans.(a)
Option (a) is the best answer choice which is grammatically correct. In option (b), ’years’ will be used instead of ‘year’. The correction for
option (c) is “The decline in writing skills can be stopped”. In option (d) as financial services is used and not financial service, ‘are’ will be used
and not ‘is’.
578. Ans. (d)
Option (d) is the only option which is grammatically correct. In option (a), article ‘an’ will not be used before important, so it will be learning

579. Ans. (d)
The grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentences are sentence (I) and sentence (III). However, there are certain errors of
subject verb agreement in sentences (II) and (IV). To
make sentence (II) grammatically correct, replace the verb “requires” by “require” since the subject of the sentence is plural [Adventure sports]. It is to
be noted that the verb after the phrase “such as” is structured according to the subject preceding the phrase. Moreover, in sentence (IV), “these”
should be replaced by “this” as latter part of the sentence indicates the singularity of the subject [airline business is a risky one]. Since, sentence
(I) and (III) are grammatically correct, option (d) becomes the most viable answer choice.
580. Ans. (c)
The grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentences are sentence (III) and sentence (IV). However, there are certain grammatical
errors in sentences (I) and (II). When we use fewer or less before articles (a/an, the), demonstratives (this, that), possessives (my, your) or
pronouns (him, them), we need to use of. We use less of with singular nouns and fewer of with plural nouns.
Therefore, to make sentence (I) correct, replace “fewer in” by “fewer of”. Moreover, in sentence (II) “whether” is used which indicates a choice
between the two. Thus, to correct sentence (II), replace “and” by “or” so as to reflect alternatives. Since, sentence (III) and (IV) are correct,
option (c) becomes the most viable answer choice.
581. Ans. (d)
Among the given sentences, sentences (I) (II) and (III) are grammatically correct. However, there is a grammatical error in sentence (IV). It is to
be noted that the usage of “if” in sentence (IV) is redundant as “in case” itself means ‘if it is true that’. Hence to make the sentence (IV)
grammatical viable, “if” should be omitted. Therefore, option (d) is the most appropriate answer choice.
582. Ans. (c)
Among the given sentences, sentences (I) (III) and (IV) are grammatically correct. However, there is an error of phrasal verb in sentence (II). It
is to be noted that “run into” means ‘collide with’ which is contextually incorrect in the sentence. Therefore, the phrasal verb “run out of” which
means use up one's supply of something should replace the phrase “run into” to make the sentence contextually correct. Since all the other
sentences are correct, option (c) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

Answers And Solutions

583Ans. (e)
All the given sentences are grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Therefore, option (e) is the most suitable answer choice.
584. Ans. (d)
Among the given sentences, sentence (d) contains a grammatical error. It is to be noted When plural nouns do not end in s, the possessiveness of
it can be denoted by simply adding apostrophe and an ‘s’ [‘s] after the noun; however, if the plural noun already ends in s, a mere addition of an
apostrophe signifies its possessiveness. Therefore, farmer’s should be replaced by farmers’. Hence, option (d) is the most suitable answer choice.

585. (e)
All the sentences given are grammatically correct and free from all errors. Therefore, option (e) becomes the most feasible answer choice.

586. Ans. (c)

The error lies in statement (c), where “lesser” will be replaced with “fewer”. It is to be noted that ‘fewer’ is only to be used when discussing
countable things, while ‘lesser’ is used for singular mass nouns. Hence, option (c) is the most suitable answer choice.
587. Ans. (d)
The error lies in statement given in option (d). To frame a meaningfully correct sentence, replace “peace” with “peaceful” as the former is a
noun and later one is an adjective hence when used as adjective phrase “peaceful slumber” will be the correct use. Hence, option (d) is the most
suitable answer choice.
588. Ans. (b)
The error lies in statement given in option (b). In the statement “renders” should be replaced by “render” to make it grammatically and
contextually correct. In the given sentence “The cell-walls of plants” is a plural subject so the verb followed should be according to the subject.
Hence, option (b) is the most suitable answer choice.

Answers And Solutions

588. Ans. (d)
Statements (a), (b) and (c) imply the following:
(i) Two months are left for the State Assembly elections;
(ii) Extensive inconsistencies or widespread discrepancies have been detected in the electoral rolls of Rajasthan.
(iii) There are doubts that the names of many legitimate voters have been struck off the lists.
But first of all, there is a grammatical error in the statement (d) which is the following:
The subject of the sentence of the statement (d) is ‘removal of names of a few legitimate voters from the voter lists’ which is singular. The
subject, having singular noun, of the sentence is followed by the auxiliary verb ‘have’, which is used for a subject having plural noun.
Also, there are following contextual errors in the statement (d):
(i) Removal of the names of a few legitimate voters;
(ii) widespread consistencies in the electoral rolls of Rajasthan.
(iii) No mention of the phrase ‘two months ahead of the State Assembly elections’ or an equivalent to convey when would the Assembly
elections would be held in Rajasthan.
Hence, option (d) is the correct answer because it is the only incorrect sentence.
589. Ans. (b)
The two events happening are:
(i) The Shiromani Akali Dal-BJP combine has decided to meet the Governor over the ‘deteriorating law and order’ situation in the state of
Punjab.
(ii) Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh emphasized on Monday that nobody involved in sacrilege cases would be spared.
The statements (a), (c) and (d) starts with a conjunction or conjunction-phrase which are synonyms i.e., While, ‘At the time as’ and ‘During the
time that’ are synonyms. They convey the same meaning that two events are occurring simultaneously.
But, the usage of the conjunction ‘because’ in the statement (b) implies that one event is causing another event to occur.
So, while the statements (a), (c) and (d) suggest that the events (i) and (ii) are occurring simultaneously and a sort of independently, the
statement (b) suggests that the event (ii) has caused the event (i) to occur. So, contextually, statement (b) conveys a different meaning as
compared to that conveyed by the statements (a), (c) and (d).
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
590. Ans. (a) The sentences (b), (c) and (d) are conveying the following:
(i) The AAP has reached out to ex-Punjab convener Sucha Singh Chhotepur.
(ii) The AAP wishes to make peace with “rebels” and “former leaders”.
(iii) Mr. Sucha Singh Chhotepur was being approached by AAP two years after he was sacked on charges of taking bribe for allotting party
tickets.
The above sentences (sentences (b), (c) and (d)) are suggesting that meeting with Sucha Singh Chhotepur was a part of an effort to make peace
with “rebels” and “former leaders”, but the sentence (a) suggests that AAP has already made (and completed) efforts to make peace with
“rebels” and “former leaders”, or the AAP has reached out to ex-Punjab convener Sucha Singh Chootepur after making (all) the efforts to make
peace with “rebels” and “former leaders”.
The meaning conveyed by the statement (a) is different from that conveyed by the statements (b), (c) and (d).
Moreover, the sentence (a) has a grammatical error. The subject of the sentence is a singular noun ‘The AAP’ which is followed by an auxiliary
verb ‘have’ which is used for plural noun.
Hence, the correct answer is the option (a).
591. Ans. (d) The grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentence is sentence (II). However, there is certain error of subject verb agreement in
sentences (I). To make sentence (I) grammatically correct, replace the verb “increases” by “increase” since the subject of the sentence is plural
[The natural and synthetic metabolites]. Moreover, in sentence (IV), “eye for eye” should be replaced by “eye to eye” as ‘saw eye to eye’ is an
idiom which means “agreeing with someone.” Since, sentence (II) is grammatically correct, option (d) becomes the most viable answer choice.

Answers And Solutions

592. Ans. (c)
The grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentences are sentence (III) and sentence (IV). However, there are certain grammatical
errors in sentences (I) and (II). It is to be noted that will + plain form of the verb is used to express the future [As it will rain tomorrow, we need
to go shopping tonight.] whereas will + be + the -ing form of the verb expresses the future in the progressive form [As it will be raining
tomorrow, we need to go shopping tonight]. Therefore, to make sentence (I) correct, replace “will” by “will be”. In sentence (II) ‘till’ is
incorrectly used, we use ‘till’ to talk about something that will happen before a particular time or deadline. Thus, to correct sentence (II), replace
“till” by “for”. Since, sentence (III) and (IV) are correct, option (c) becomes the most viable answer choice.
593. Ans. (d)
Among the given sentences, sentences (I) (II) and (III) are grammatically correct. However, there is a grammatical error in sentence (IV). It is to
be noted that the usage of “if” in sentence (IV) is redundant as “in case” itself means ‘if it is true that’. Hence to make the sentence (IV)
grammatical viable, “if” should be omitted. Therefore, option (d) is the most appropriate answer choice.
594. Ans. (c)
Among the given sentences, sentences (I) (III) and (IV) are grammatically correct. However, there is an error of phrasal verb in sentence (II). It
is to be noted that the phrasal verb “ran out of” means use up one's supply of something. Therefore “run into” which means ‘collide with’ which
is contextually incorrect in the sentence, should replace the phrase “ran out of” to make the sentence contextually correct. Since all the other
sentences are correct, option (c) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

595. Ans. (e)

All the given sentences are grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Therefore, option (e) is the most suitable answer choice.
596. Ans. (b)
‘Summons’ is a Singular countable noun and should be preceded by an article ‘a’. So, the erroneous part is (B).
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.
597. Ans. (a)
Apostrophe s (‘s) is not used with two consecutive nouns. So, the erroneous part is (A). The correct form should be ‘the career of Ram’s son’.
Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.
598. Ans. (b)
The erroneous part is (B). The word ‘luggage’ is an uncountable noun. It is not preceded by ‘a/an’.
The correct part (B) should be ‘luggage’.
Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

Answers And Solutions

599. Ans. (c)
The erroneous part is (C). Instead of ‘have’, ‘has’ should be used. Whenever two singular nouns are connected through ‘and’ and if each are
preceded by ‘each’ or ‘every’, then Verb in its singular form is used.
Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
600. Ans. (e)
The given sentence is grammatically correct and has no error in it.
Hence, option (e) is the correct answer.
601. Ans. (d)
The grammatically correct and contextually meaningful sentence is sentence (II). To cut corners is an idiom which means to do something badly
or cheaply. To make sentence (I) grammatically correct, ‘off’ should be removed from the sentence. Moreover, in sentence (III), “affects”
should be replaced by “effects”. Effect means the outcome or result of something so affect won’t work here. Since, sentence (II) is
grammatically correct, option (d) becomes the most viable answer choice.
602. Ans. (b)
Among the given sentences, sentences (I) and (III) are grammatically correct. However, there is a grammatical error in sentence (II).
‘To hit the nail on the head’ is an idiom which means to describe exactly what is causing a situation or problem. Hence to make the sentence (II)
grammatical viable, “hand” should be replaced by “head”. Hence option (d) is the most appropriate answer choice.
603. Ans. (c)
Among the given sentences, sentences (II) and (III) are grammatically correct. However, there is a grammatical error in sentence (I). Hence to
make the sentence (I) grammatically viable, “begin” should be replaced by “began”. Hence option (c) is the most appropriate answer choice.
604. Ans. (b)
Among the given sentences, sentences (I) and (III) are grammatically correct. However, there is a grammatical error in sentence (II). Hence to
make the sentence (II) grammatical viable, “are” should be replaced by “have been”. Hence option (b) is the most appropriate answer choice
605. Ans. (b)
Among the given sentences, sentences (I) and (III) are grammatically correct. However, there is a grammatical error in sentence (II). Hence to
make the sentence (II) grammatical viable, “nations after nations” should be replaced by “nation after nation”. Hence option (b) is the most

614Ans.:
Correct option - 5
There is no error in above given sentence
615Ans.:
Correct option - 5
There is no error in the sentence given above. All the elements of grammar have been used appropriately and make complete sense. Hence,
option 5 is the correct answer.
616Ans.:
The error lies in the part I which uses past tense with "was" and that does not fit in grammatically with the meaning of the sentence. The correct
tense is simple present.
Therefore, error lies in part 1 of the sentence, therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.
Corrected sentence:
Violence is all around us spreading and clawing on forward with each new manifestation while non-violence struggles to be heard from the
shadows.
617Ans.:
The error lies in part III because of preposition "from" which generally expresses the beginning of some duration and this meaning does not fit
in with the sentence. Whereas, "for" expresses present point of duration and better fit the meaning in the sentence.
Therefore, error lies in part 3 of the sentence, therefore, option 5 is the correct answer.
Corrected sentence:
Change is a natural process of life yet, some welcome it and some shun it away and both have strong arguments for their standpoints.
618Ans.:
The error lies in part II with the use of "some" when it should instead be "few". Some is used for both countable and uncountable nouns
as well as for indefinite, large number whereas few is used to modify countable nouns and for small indefinite number.
Therefore, error lies in part 2 of the sentence, therefore, option 3 is the correct answer.
Corrected sentence:
Social media networking has truly connected the whole wide world with a few clicks and people are increasingly emerged into it now,
reproducing both good and bad impacts
619Ans.:

does not imply the right meaning with the given sentence.
Therefore, error lies in part 1 of the sentence, therefore, option 2 is the correct answer.
Corrected sentence:
Worry creeps up on us in various ways that makes us take on drastic steps to either conceal it or act against it, and the results are never
predictable.

Answers And Solutions

620Ans.:
The error lies in part III with the use of past tense in "strengthened" when the sentence clearly is in the present tense. The correction thus, given
is "strengthens".
Therefore, the error lies in part 3 of the sentence, hence, option 5 is the correct answer.
Corrected sentence:
Festivals may seem extravagant and over-hyped however, to each culture their festival brings together their own people and strengthens bonds
among them all.
621Ans.:
Correct option - 4
Firstly, adjective progress takes preposition of with it. So, options 2 & 3 are eliminated. Also, "progress of community" is dependent upon
achievements of women. Hence, work is being done by women here. Thus, by preposition should be used in context of passive voice. So, option
1 is eliminated. Also, the relative pronoun depends upon the nearest noun/pronoun it has. Since, "the degree of progress" is a non-living thing.
So, who shouldn't be used. Hence, option 5 is eliminated
Thus, option 4 is the correct answer.
622Ans.:
Correct option - 2
Here, concept of preposition is brought under consideration. Following are the certain uses of prepositions when used with verb "die":-
Die of - disease, hunger.
Die from - over-eating, obesity, heart attack.
Die in - accident, poverty.
Die for - country.
So, clearly, option 2 is the correct answer
623Ans.:
Correct option - 4
Here, concept of conjunctions is highlighted. There are certain conjunctions which are always used in pairs. For e.g.:-
though...yet; hardly/scarcely...when; no sooner...than; lest...should; both..and; etc. Clearly, options 1 & 2 are eliminated. When, "hardly...when"
is used to join two phrases. If hardly is used at the beginning of a sentence before an auxiliary to say that one thing happens very soon after
another thing. Then, following pattern is followed:-
'Hardly' clause - past perfect tense + 'when' clause - simple past tense.
So, option 4 is the correct answer.
624Ans.:
Correct option - 3
Here, concept of 'too much' and 'much too' is brought under consideration. Too much modifies a noun and a verb, and much too modifies an
adjective or adverb.
For e.g.:- There is too much water during rainy season.
This box is much too heavy, you can't lift it.
Since, expensive is an adjective, so options 1 & 4 are eliminated. Now, conjunction so comes with either 'to or and'. Hence, option 2 is
eliminated. Now, looking at option 5, here a particular 'bike' is being focused, it is not mentioned with 'this bike' that it is subject's habit to buy
expensive bikes. Hence, option 5 is eliminated. Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.
625Ans.:
Correct option - 3
First of all, two contradictory clauses are used in the sentence. Hence, they should be joined with conjunction but. Hence, options 1, 2 & 5 are
eliminated. And, 'game of the Olympics' does not make a meaningful phrase. Hence, option 4 is eliminated.
Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.

Answers And Solutions

634Ans.:
Correct option - 3
Firstly, word "major" is an adjective, so in order to use it, it should be placed with either noun/pronoun or verb. But, it is directly followed by a
preposition. And, preposition is used to define a noun/pronoun. Thus, replace major with noun majority.
Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
Correct sentence:
Without any sort of government safety net, a majority of India's population has no cover for old age or unforeseen contingencies.
635Ans.:
Correct option - 3
When two clauses are connected with a conjunction. Then, similar tense is followed throughout the sentence. Since, "are targeting" shows it's a
present continuous tense. Hence, replace tailor with tailoring. Helping verb is not required in each clause.
Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.
Correct sentence:
It is no surprise that many companies are targeting the rural population and tailoring their policies to meet the requirements of this segment.
636Ans.:
Correct option - 5
There is no grammatical error in the given sentence.
637Ans.:
The given sentence has one error which lies in part B.
Part B uses the simple present tense verb form 'besiege', which means to surround and harass. This is incorrect.
Since the sentence uses the future perfect form 'will have been', which means the corresponding verb must be in its past participle form, viz,
besieged.
So, the errorless combination is ACD.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
Correct sentence:
We will have been besieged by the enemy if we had stayed in the castle.
638Ans.:
The given sentence has one error, which lies in part C.
Part C uses the past tense form of the verb, viz, 'spoke'. This is incorrect, given the context.

Since the tense used before the verb is simple future tense 'will', the correct form of the verb used here becomes the simple present tense of the
verb, viz, 'speak'.
So, the errorless combination is ABD.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
Correct sentence:
If pressured by the committee, won't he speak the truth about the cheating team?
639Ans.:
The given sentence has no grammatical errors.
The form 'shan't' is the condensed form of 'shall not'.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 5.
640Ans.:
The given sentence has one error, which lies in part B.
Part B uses the form 'had been tilled', which is passive, and hence is incorrect here.
The correct form here should be 'had been tilling', which makes the sentence meaningful.
So, the errorless combination is ACD.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
Correct sentence:
The peasants had been tilling the land since the independence era.
641Ans.:
The given sentence has one error, which lies in part D.
Part D uses the form 'since before', which is grammatically incorrect, given the context of the sentence.
The correct form here would be to omit the word 'since' and use just 'before', making the sentence meaningful.
So, the errorless combination is ABC.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
Correct sentence:
I could have done the sum from my maths homework before he returned

Answers And Solutions

642Ans.:
The sentence that is correct must use past tense to imply the right answer. Option 1 uses "could be" which implies possibilities which does not fit in
with the meaning. Option 2 is incorrect because "its" is not the right term as it means belonging to something and "it's" means it is. Option 5 uses
"will be" which again, is not present tense.
Thus, option 3 is the right answer.
643Ans.:
The correct tense for the given sentence is present progressive tense, signifying actions that began in the past, continues in the present and may
continue into the future. This is observed in the fifth option with "has declined".
Thus, option 5 is the right answer.
644Ans.:
The sentence should be in present tense because it describes musicals which never ceased to be famous since its birth. Besides option 4, the other
options uses "as its", "being its" and "at its" and its meaning something's belonging. Songs are not a belonging of musicals rather a part of it.
Thus, the right answer is option 4.
645Ans.:
The meaning of the given sentence is implied in past tense, that is, the glue dried off and already ruined the painting in the past. In that view, beside
option 2, the other options do not have correct grammar usage. "Had been" is past prefect progressive and does not fit in, "drying off" is present
tense and "made" is past tense, making both invalid and disagreed in one sentence. The fourth and fifth options are not well framed.
Thus, option 2 is the right answer.
646Ans.:
The correct tense of the sentence should be present tense because it is something that is happening in the present, that is, she is thinking now that her
previous belief of taking on a job to help her get away from trouble is not enough. First option uses "might" which indicates a possibility and not
something certain making it incorrect. Second option has wrong tense with "having taken". Third option also uses wrong grammar of "were only".
The fifth option uses while which does not fit in as well as when.
647Ans.:
The error lies in parts I and III, with the use of "focused" because it does not match with the present tense followed in the remaining parts of the
sentence and the omission of the base verb "be" in the last part.
Thus, option 4 is the correct answer.
Correct sentence:
Education today is focusing on improving the grades of the students when it should really be about teaching them valuable life lessons and virtues,
and hope for them to be the best versions of themselves.

Answers And Solutions

648Ans.:
The error lies in part II with the use of "any", when it should be "some". Any is generally used in negative sentences and in questions whereas
some is used in positive sentences and with both countable and uncountable nouns.
Thus, option 2 is the answer.
Correct sentence:
Children need to be taught that gender is not some rigid concept with only two categories that is, male and female and that gender is also
androgynous, which means there is fluidity between both male and female.
649Ans.:
The error lies in part I with the use of "upon" when it instead should be "on". Some instances are present when both the words can be used
interchangeably. Although, in the given context, the right word is "on".
Thus, option 1 is the correct answer.
Correct sentence:
Sometimes deciding on a determined action can never be fully known which makes it difficult to follow them through and it is then that we
need to seek help of our trusted others.
650Ans.:
The error lies in parts II and III because of the use "at" which points at specific location and the correction is "in"which points at a general
location in part II and the use of "could be" which implies a or some possibility and "ought to be" implies an assured possibility in part III.
Correct sentence:
The media houses hold immense power of influence in any society with the ability to structure any story or content to fit their agenda and this
power ought to be used to cater the truth and serve the weak.
651Ans.:
The error lies in part III of the sentence because it incorrectly uses "being" as it is a continuous form of verb and is not used after "to". It is
corrected replacing "being" with "be" which is a base verb and used after "to".
Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.
Correct answer:
Being told what she could do and what she could have, instilled a sense of great will to break down these boundaries and be able to prove their
conventional beliefs as mere myths.
652Ans.:
The error is in parts A and C of the sentence. In part A whatever is the wrong word. Whatever means 'regardless of what.' It doesn't make any
sense here. The correct word should be 'whether.' It is used to mean 'expressing a doubt or choice between alternatives.' As we can see we have
two alternatives. In part C, there is no phrase called 'against one's head. It should be 'over one's head.' It means 'beyond someone's ability to
understand.' So option 1 is the correct answer.
Correct Sentence:
It was hard to tell whether the sarcasm had gone over his head or he simply wasn't amused.
653Ans.:
There are two events in this sentence. The finding of the note in the kitchen and Sarah and Tammy going or shopping. Important thing to note
here is that 'they went for shopping first and then the note was found. In such cases, we must use 'had' with the first event. So part C is wrong,
because she and Tammy had gone should be the correct formation, Also, we already know that ''she'' in part C is referring to 'Sarah.' Because
there is no one else involved here. So Sarah had gone shopping with Tammy. So it doesn't make sense to say 'a note to Sarah.' It should be 'note
from Sarah.'
Correct Sentence:
No one was in the kitchen, but a note from Sarah explained that she and Tammy had gone to town for shopping again.

Answers And Solutions
654Ans.:
There is no error in this sentence.
655Ans.:
The error is in part A and C of the sentence. While in part A, the sentence formation is wrong, in part C a word us wrongly used. We must use
V3 after 'has/have/had.' 'Went' is V2. So 'had never gone' should be the correct formation. On the other hand, 'over' is preposition which means
'above so as to cover or protect.' This can't be used here. The word surrounded itself means, that something is around something. Surrounded
can never mean over. We need not use the preposition 'over' at all.
Correct Sentence:
He had never gone beyond the beautiful gardens that surrounded around his father's palace.
656Ans.:
There is error in the first part and the last part of the sentence. So A and D. In part A, artists is a plural noun. So the noun 'kind' should also be
plural. Kinds is a noun and it means 'mean 'A group of individuals or instances sharing common traits; a category or sort.' On the other hand
'the' means 'at that time.' But the sentence already says that ''they were popular in their time, so it doesn't make sense to write 'forgotten then.' It
should be 'forgotten now.' So option 4 is correct.
Correct Sentence:
All kinds of artists have come and gone in the last four centuries, popular in their time but forgotten now.
657Ans. :
All the sentences labelled a, b, c & d are meaningfully and grammatically correct. Hence, option e) is the right answer.
658Ans. :
a)- usage of 'sit' is incorrect; past participle form of sit should be used. b)- correct; has no error. c) use of 'unknowingly' is incorrect; the correct
usage could be 'unknown of the danger that lay ahead'. d)- the determiner 'which' should be omitted in order to make the sentence correct.
Hence, the answer is option b).
In each of the questions below, four statements are given which may or may not contain error. Choose the one that is grammatically and
meaningfully correct
659Ans. :
a)- usage of plural noun (chairmen) for a single person, makes the statement incorrect; b)- The word 'emeritus' is treated as a noun in this
statement, while it is an adjective which means- having retired but allowed to retain their title as an honour; c)- usage of plural verb(were)
makes the sentence incorrect; d)- no error. Hence, the answer is option d).

Answers And Solutions

660Ans. :
a)- The phrase 'posed threatening' is incorrect grammatically and renders the sentence without any meaning; b)- no error; c)- the usage of

preposition 'behind' is incorrect; 'of' would be appropriate preposition. Hence, the answer is option (b).

661Ans. :

A - The sentence begins with the participle 'being'. The syntax for such a sentence should be: Participial clause + subject + verb stem. The

sentence does not follow this construction. B - The base form of the verb 'be' should be used with the modal verb 'will'. C - no error. D - The

subject of the sentence, 'companies', should begin the sentence. C is the right answer.

662Ans. :

A - The sentence construction makes it incoherent; it is unclear what is a legal right for its citizens. B - no error. C - The subject of the sentence

'The United Kingdom' should begin the sentence. D - The possessive pronoun 'its' should be used in place of the contraction 'it's' (it is). B is the

right answer.

663Ans. : The error is in part (a) of the sentence. As a rule, when we start the sentence with 'not only', we use an auxiliary verb or any main verb (if

given), before the subject. Since, here the subject(she) is used before the verb- the sentence becomes incorrect. Introduction of the auxiliary verb

'did' before the subject will make the sentence correct; the corrected part would be- 'not only did she fail'. The answer is option (a).

664Ans. : The error is in part (c) of the sentence. When the nouns separated by neither..nor are both singular, the verb should also be singular. But in the

sentence, plural form of verb is used- 'were', which should be replaced by a singular verb (was) to make the sentence correct. The answer is

option (c).

665Ans. : The error is in part d of the sentence. The correct sentence structure would be 'neither....nor...'. Hence the right answer is option d. Also, the

correct sentence structure would be "While she was a political science major, she got a job with an organization that developed policy for youth

and children."

666.Ans. : The error is in the part d) of the given sentence. The error is the incorrect usage of the preposition 'to' in the fourth part of the sentence; instead

of using 'to', 'on' should be used to make it correct (influence of television violence on young children). Hence, the answer is option d).

Answers And Solutions

667Ans. :
The sentence is grammatically correct but there is an incorrect usage of the word 'wondered'. Wonder- desire to know something; feel curious;
wander- walk or move in a leisurely or aimless way; 'wandered' would be the appropriate word to be used. Hence, (b) is the correct answer.
668Ans. :
'Peace', as mentioned in the statement, is contextually incorrect; instead 'piece' (a written, musical, or artistic creation) would be the appropriate
word usage here; hence, (b) is the right answer
669Ans. :
There is no error in any part of the sentence; hence, (e) is the right answer.
670Ans. :
(b)- the usage of 'to' is incorrect. Either the sentence construction would be 'when artificial intelligence hurts people' or 'when artificial
intelligence is used to hurt people'. Hence, (b) is the right answer.
671Ans. :
The sentence is grammatically correct but the usage of the word 'familial' (relating to or occurring in a family or its members) is incorrect.
Instead, the sentence is talking about patterns, so, an appropriate word usage in place of 'familial' would be 'familiar'; hence, (d) is the right
answer.
672Ans. :
A - Nouns with superlative adjectives normally have the article 'the' which is missing in the sentence. B - 'News' is a mass noun and it has no
plural form. A mass noun is a noun (such as advice, bread, knowledge, luck, and work) that cannot usually be counted. A mass noun is
generally used only in the singular form. C - Replace "victims" with "victim".
D is grammatically correct and meaningful. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
673Ans. :
All the given options are grammatically correct and meaningful, which makes E the right answer.

Answers And Solutions

674Ans. :
A - As the sentence is in past, 'granted' will be used. B - 'Was' will be used here as the subject 'middleman' is singular. D - As the sentence is in
past, we have to use the past form of the verb 'arrest'. Hence, 'arrest' must be replaced with 'arrested'.
C is grammatically correct and meaningful. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
675Ans.:
The correct preposition is "parted with" not parted from. It means he abandoned or left his possessions, which also fits in the context of the
sentence.
676Ans.:
The plural form or passerby is not passer bys but passersby. Similarly when we pluralize words such as brother-in-law, we pluralize the title of
the relation. Thus brothers-in-law not brother-in-laws
677Ans. :
The error is in part (a) of the given sentence. The part does not follow the subject verb agreement rule- when a sentence starts with 'here' or
'there', the verb comes before the subject - 'Here comes Nisha' would have been correct; but in part (a) the subject 'Nisha' is placed before the
verb 'comes', thereby making the sentence incorrect. The corrected form would be- 'here comes Nisha'. Hence, the answer is option (a)
678Ans. :
The error lies in part (c) of the given sentence. The noun 'dollars' requires a singular verb when talking in terms of money, but it takes plural
verb when referring to the dollars themselves (subject-verb-agreement). Here, the sentence talks about money; hence, the verb should be
singular - 'was'. Here, in part (c) of the sentence, a plural verb(were) is used which makes it incorrect. Hence, the answer is option (c).
679Ans. :
The error is in the part b) of the given sentence. The usage of the word 'quiet' is incorrect; it gives sentence, no meaning; the word that should be
used in place of 'quiet' is 'quite'(absolutely). Hence, the answer is option b).
680Ans. :
A is incorrect - As we need an adjective, 'former' should be used. B is incorrect - The article 'an' should be used before 'absolute'. C is incorrect-
An adjective is needed to modify 'peace', hence 'absolute' should be used. D is grammatically correct and meaningful. Hence, option D is the
correct answer.
681Ans. :
A is wrong - 'Wide violence' doesn't make any sense; 'widespread violence' is the correct term as it means - found or distributed over a large
area. B is wrong - an adverb is needed; 'accurately' should be used. D is wrong - 'in' should be used in place of 'at'. C is grammatically correct
and meaningful. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Answers And Solutions

682Ans. :
B is wrong - the singular noun 'means' is the correct word to be used. C is wrong - here the adjective 'most' is the correct word to be used in

order to modify the noun 'people'. D is wrong - to modify the noun 'control', an adjective is needed hence 'social' is the correct form of the word.

A is grammatically correct and meaningful. Hence, option A is the correct answer.

683Ans. : B is incorrect - 'Rather than' is the correct term which is used to contrast two things or situations. C is incorrect - singular verb 'was' should be

used for singular subject 'she'. D is incorrect - The correct grammatical structure is "Subject + have/has + main verb (past participle form)", thus

"have been implicated" is the correct usage. A is grammatically correct and meaningful; hence, option A is the answer

684Ans. : The entire statement is in past tense while in the part (c), the verb 'influence' is used in its present tense form; 'influenced' would have been

correct, which will keep the tense consistency of the sentence intact. Hence, (c) is the right answer.

685Ans. : The sentence is correct both grammatically and contextually.

686Ans. : The correct phrase construction would be: 'from ... to', while in part (b) of the sentence, the 'since ... to' construction is used, which is incorrect

form of construction; hence, (b) is the right answer.

687Ans. : (a)- the usage of the word 'exciting' (adjective) would be incorrect. The sentence is structured in such a way that 'excitement of starting own

business' would be correct - the feeling of doing something. Excitement, being an abstract noun, is a feeling which perfectly captures what the

writer is trying to convey. 'Exciting' would have been correct had the sentence been structured like 'starting own business is exciting'. Hence, (a)

is the right answer.

Answers And Solutions

688Ans. :
(a)- the usage of the word 'exciting' (adjective) would be incorrect. The sentence is structured in such a way that 'excitement of starting own
business' would be correct - the feeling of doing something. Excitement, being an abstract noun, is a feeling which perfectly captures what the
writer is trying to convey. 'Exciting' would have been correct had the sentence been structured like 'starting own business is exciting'. Hence, (a)
is the right answer.
689Ans. :
Replace 'faced' with 'facing'. Sentence is not talking about mothers who have faced difficulties but who are facing it and often do not come out
to their families about it due to stigma. If we have to use 'faced' then the whole structure of the sentence would change together with the
meaning it conveys. The answer is option a).
690Ans. :
In part C, 'as' should replace 'and', to complete the phrase 'as much as', to compare the reasons 'succession planning' and 'avoiding estate tax and
fending off hostile takeovers' responsible for the
promotors transferring their stakes to trusts. Option B is the right answer

691Ans. :
The error is in part D - the pronoun 'more' should replace the pronoun 'much', as the states want to know what additional effort they can make
towards climate action. So, 'more' is the suitable pronoun here. Option D is the right answer.
692Ans. :
The sentence is grammatically correct and meaningful. So, option E is the right answer.
693Ans. :
'Ages', the singular form of the verb, is the correct usage in part D, as the noun 'population' is used in a singular sense. Option D is the right
answer.
694Ans. :
The error is in part C - the noun 'finance' should be replaced by the adjective 'financial', to qualify the noun 'incentives' that follows. Option A is
the right answer.

702Ans. :

In sentence B, the root form of the verb 'begin' should have been used as it is preceded by the modal verb 'will'. In sentence C, the preposition

'around' should replace 'in', as a range of decibels is specified. In sentence D, the possessive pronoun 'their' needs to be used instead of the adverb

'there'. A is the right answer.

703Ans. :

A is wrong - the plural of 'child' is 'children'; 'childrens' is incorrect. B is wrong - the adjective 'endless' will be correct here. An adjective is needed

for the noun 'sequence'. C is wrong - the plural verb 'parent' is the correct word to be used here. D is grammatically correct and meaningful. Hence,

option D is the correct answer.

704Ans. :

All the given options are grammatically and meaningfully correct, which makes E the right answer.

705Ans. :

A is wrong - base form of the verb is needed hence 'increase' will be used. C is wrong - the past form of the verb will be used as the first clause is in

past; 'saw' will be used. D is wrong - present participle 'growing' will be used. B is grammatically correct and meaningful. Hence, option B is the

correct answer.

In sentence A, the adverb 'urgently' should have been used after the phrasal verb 'looked at' in place of the adjective 'urgent'. In sentence B, the

adjective 'comprehensive' should have been used in place of the adverb 'comprehensively', to qualify the noun 'model'. In sentence C, the plural form

'have' should have been used, as the noun 'issues' is in plural form. Sentence D is grammatically correct and meaningful. D is the right answer.

707Ans. :

There is an error of subject-verb mismatch in (b) in the use of 'have', since the subject is a company and is therefore in singular; hence the right word

in place of 'have' is 'has.'

708Ans. :

There is no error in the sentence; hence, (e) is the right answer.

709Ans. :

'..calling India to be ..' does not make any grammatical sense. There should be a 'for' between 'calling' and 'India'. Hence, (b) is the right answer.

710Ans. :

The error lies in part A of the sentence. Instead of 'was', 'were' should have been used for the collective noun 'team'. Collective nouns like 'team' take

singular verbs when the whole team acts as one unit, but when the members act individually or the team is divided into two or more groups, a plural

verb is used; here the team is divided in their opinions about the tournament; so, a plural verb should be used to follow the subject-verb-agreement

rule. Hence, the answer is option a).

Answers And solutions

711Ans. :

The error lies in part C of the sentence. Usage of the preposition 'between' in part C is incorrect; instead of 'between', 'among' should be used. The

rule says: 'between' is used when naming distinct, individual items (can be 2, 3, or more); 'among' is used when the items are part of a group, or are

not specifically named (MUST be 3 or more). So, here the sentence talks of employees, not naming anyone; 'among' is the right choice. Hence, the

answer is option (c).

712Ans. :

The error lies in part A of the sentence. Usage of preposition 'to' after asked is incorrect; we never use a preposition between "ask" and the person

you are asking in English. Hence, the answer is option (a).

713Ans. :

The given sentence is error free; hence, the answer is option e).

714Ans. :

The error lies in part A of the sentence. The subject-verb-agreement rule is not followed in part A of the sentence. 'Crisis' is singular, and verb 'were'

indicate that the plural form 'crises' should have been used in order to make the sentence correct. Hence, the answer is option a).

715Ans. :

The sentence is grammatically and contextually correct. Hence, the answer is option e). Here, 'dispose of' is the correct phrase as its an adverb which

means deal with or settle.

716Ans. :

The error lies in part C of the sentence. 'Although' means 'even though'; it indicates contrast; the usage of 'but' to show contrast in the sentence is

incorrect when 'although' is already used. So, omitting 'but' in part C will make the sentence correct. Hence, the answer is option b).

Answers And Solutions

717Ans. :
The error lies in part C of the sentence. The phrase 'a number of' is always followed by a plural noun, but in part C, singular noun 'occasion' is used
which makes the sentence incorrect; it should be replaced with the plural form 'occasion'. Hence, the answer is option a).
718Ans. :
The error lies in part B of the sentence. 'Measles' is a name of a disease; hence, is singular and will always take a singular verb. Usage of 'are' in part
B is incorrect; should be replaced with 'is an' ('an' is required because 'infectious' starts with a vowel sound). Hence, the answer is option c).
719Ans. :
The sentence is grammatically and contextually correct. 'The number of' is always followed by a plural noun and a singular verb (reason for this is
that we are referring to a singular number in this case). Hence, the answer is option e).
720Ans. :
In part (A) - No error
In part (B) - The correct preposition to be used here is 'for'. 'in the discovery' should be replaced with 'for the discovery'
In part (C) - No error
In part (D) - No error
In part (E) - No error
Correct sentence-
The 2017 Nobel prize for medicine was awarded for the discovery of how our circadian rhythms are controlled, but what light does it shed on the
cycle of life?
721Ans. :
In part (A) - The subject (scientists) is plural, hence, 'has been' (singular) should be replaced by 'have been' (plural).
In part (B) - No error
In part (C) - No error
In part (D) - No error
In part (E) - No error
Correct sentence-
French scientists have been criticised for concealing the death of the patient at the centre of a breakthrough in which consciousness was restored to a
man in a persistent vegetative state.
722Ans. :
The sentence is correct and free of error.
723Ans. :
The plural form of the verb 'are' should be used in place of 'is' in E, as it is being used to refer to a plural subject (students). A is the right answer, as
the other parts contain no error.

Answers And Solutions

724Ans. :

The sentence is grammatically correct and contains no error. (e) is the right answer.

725Ans. :

A - incorrect; we need the past participle form of the verb 'list'; have/has been + the past participle.

C - We need an adjective here which will describe the noun 'mothers'. 'New' is the correct word to be used here.

D - There are two ways we can make this sentence correct. Either by using 'for stemming' or by using 'to stem'.

B is grammatically correct and meaningful. Hence, option B is the correct answer.

726Ans. :

In sentence A, either the adjective 'increased' should have been used or the preposition 'in' should have been used after 'increase' to make the

sentence grammatically correct. In sentence B, the plural form 'firms' should have been used, due to the usage of 'they' and 'were', which are plural

forms. In sentence C, since 'Ashok Leyland' is a proper noun and is treated as singular, 'was' should have been used. D is the right answer.

727Ans. :

In sentence A, 'experience' should have been used as the root form of verb is required to follow 'would'. In sentence B, the preposition 'against'

should have been used instead of the adverb 'again', as two numbers are being compared. In sentence D, the adverb 'newly' should have been used,

as it is followed by the adjective 'discovered'. C is the right answer.

728Ans. :

In sentence A, the adverb 'solely' should be used instead of the adjective 'sole', due to the use of the verb 'powered'. In sentence C, 'to come' is the

right phrase, which means 'in the future'. It usually follows a noun, like 'years' or 'generations'. In sentence D, the adjective 'original' should replace

the adverb 'originally', to qualify the noun 'experience'. B is the right answer.

Answers And Solutions

729.Ans.
In the sentence, the use of preposition ‘upon’ is incorrect. The correct preposition to be used here is ‘in’. Hem means surrounded by. So, the idea

that ‘two ranges are surrounded upon the valley’ makes no sense. Upon is used when something is on the top of other thing.

730.Ans.

The subject of the sentence is ‘none of the detectives’ which is singular. Thus, the use of plural verb ‘are’ in part 2 is incorrect.

731Ans.

The sentence is grammatically correct and requires no further amendments.

732Ans.

This sentence contains a subject-verb disagreement error. ‘Achievements’ is a ‘plural’ noun and thus, the verb ‘are’ should be used in part 2.

733Ans.

The first part of the sentence should be “they are” or they’re”.

734Ans.

No error in the sentence.

735Ans.

The fourth part of the sentence should be “the prey of robber armies of barbarians” as the word at prey is grammatically incorrect.

736Ans.

In part 3 instead of “in varying angles”, it should be “in varying degrees” which means “not all the same”.
738Ans.
Although each and every, both the words refer to something that is singular, each refers to an individual object or person, while the term every refers
to a group of objects. Here conceivable subject refers to the group of subjects. So every should be used instead of each.

Answers And Solutions

748Ans.
The usage of the article “the” before “King James” is incorrect. The correct form of part 3 is: England with King James, and whose name.

The preposition 'the' is used with plural nouns. King James is a singular noun, hence usage of 'the' is incorrect.

749Ans.

There is a preposition error in the fourth part of the sentence. The correct preposition to be used is “over” instead of “to”. 'Presided over' is a phrasal

verb which is used to refer to someone who is occupying a place of authority or who is on control of something.

750Ans. The given sentence is grammatically correct in all respects. Hence the correct answer is option E, i.e No error.

751Ans.

There is a tense error in the second part of the sentence. 'begin' is the present form of the verb. The sentence is in past tense, hence the verb which is

used should also be in past tense. Hence, 'began' should be used instead of 'begin' in the second part of the sentence.

752Ans.

The subject in the given sentence is 'huge decayed trunk'. It is singular in nature. Therefore, the verb used should also be singular in nature. Hence,
the usage of plural verb 'have' in the part 2 of the sentence is incorrect. The correct verb to be used is 'has'. This is needed to maintain the subject
verb agreement
753Ans.

The correct representation would be "Alex was not only the first journalist"

754Ans.

The Court has dismissed the appeal of the prosecutor and has granted the bail to the accused.

755Ans.

There are no errors in the sentence.

756Ans.

The sentence refers to an incident in the past. There is an error in the usage of tense. It should be "has decimated"

757Ans.

There is a tense error. It should be "has been living"

Answers And Solutions

758Ans.
Option B is incorrect because instead of ‘new to the world of’ it should have been ‘new in the world of’. We do not discover anything new to any
field we discover anything new in the field.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
759Ans.
Option d is incorrect because the definite article ‘the’ is missing in front of mind of man.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
760Ans.
In this sentence, the verb is 'are'.
The subject of the sentence is 'one' and not 'cousins'.
'one' is singular subject and 'are' is plural verb.
Hence, there is a subject-verb disagreement.
The correct verb to be used is 'is'.
The correct sentence is "One of my cousins is going on a trip to Singapore."
761Ans.
The conjunction 'as well as' does not compound the two subjects.
The subject here is Tarak and it is singular. Hence, the subject remains singular.
The verb used is "have", which is a plural verb.
Hence, there is a subject verb disagreement.
The correct verb to be used is 'has'.
The correct sentence is "Tarak, as well as Swapna, has not come to the movie."
762Ans.
Here the subject is 'None', which may be singular or plural according to the context.
The verb is 'was', which is singular.
In the sentence, we are talking about each specific cousin and not all the cousins at a time.
As we are talking about one person at a time, the verb to be used must be singular.
Hence, the correct verb is 'was'.
=> There is no error in the sentence.
763Ans.
It is important to not be confused because of the modifier in this sentence.
The phrase "who was one amongst the highest run-scorers" is a modifier.
Remove the modifier and look at the sentence "Rahul were not playing in the tournament because of an injury" to check for the subject-verb
agreement.
Rahul is the subject and "were" is the verb.
The subject is singular but the verb is plural => Subject-Verb disagreement.
=> The correct verb to be used is "was"
764Ans.
The article 'the' is erroneously put in front of "last week". Hence, part 4 has an error. The correct sentence would be
"Abhi and his cousin had gone for a movie last week."
765Ans.

766Ans.
767Ans.

Answers And Solutions

768Ans.
'Everyone' takes a singular verb. Thus, ‘everyone want’ should be replaced with ‘everyone wants’.
Hence, C is the answer.
769Ans.
The correct word to be used here is 'effects' not 'affects. Thus, ‘adverse affects’ has to be replaced with ‘adverse effects’.
Hence, B is the answer
770Ans.
Since, 'running' and 'cycling' are used in the sentence, to maintain the parallel structure, ‘to swim’ has to be replaced with ‘swimming’.
Hence, D is the answer.
771Ans.
The sentence is correct.
Hence, E is the answer.
772Ans.
The sentence is in past-tense, thus, ‘start playing’ has to be replaced with the past-tense ‘started playing’.

773Ans.
The correct phrasal verb is 'looking forward to'. Thus, ‘for rains’ has to be replaced with ‘to rains’.

774Ans.
'Advice' is a noun. The verb 'advised' has to be used here. Thus, ‘adviced’ has to be replaced with ‘advised’.
Hence, A is the answer.
775Ans.
When a regular action is described, it should be in present tense. Thus, ‘he ate’ has to be replaced with ‘he eats’.

Answers And solutions

803Ans.
Option c is incorrect as instead of ‘new system’ it should be ‘the new system’ or ‘new systems’.

Hence, option C is the correct answer

804Ans.

Option c is incorrect because instead of ‘it’s’, ‘its’ should have been used.

’s is used to show belonging which is not the case here.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.

805Ans.

Metaphysics, or an attempt is incorrect because instead of ‘an’ ‘the’ should have been used. Here the author is talking about a particular attempt I.e.

Metaphysics and thus, a definite article(the) should be used.

Hence, option A is the correct answer.

806Ans.

Option d is incorrect because instead of ‘advices’, ‘advises’ should have been used. Advice is a noun whereas advise is a verb. Here

advice is used in it’s verb form.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

807Ans.

There is no error in the question. Hence, option E is the correct answer.

808Ans.

This sentence contains a pronoun error. ‘Their’ is incorrectly used in the place of ‘there’. There is used when we need to show possession. There

means in or at a place.

The correct sentence should read ‘For the 2016 election, THERE were many competing election forecast approaches including Nate Silver's

FiveThirtyEight, The Upshot at The New York Times and Princeton Election Consortium.’

Answers And solutions

809Ans.
The sentence is grammatically correct.
810Ans.
In this sentence, the placement of adverb ‘simply’ is incorrect. The correct sentence should read ‘Common cold, also known simply as a cold, is a
viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract that primarily affects the nose.’
811Ans.
The use of article ‘an’ before universal is incorrect. The sound, that ‘universal’ produces, starts with ‘yu’ which resembles that of a consonant. Thus,
the correct article that should be used here is ‘a’.
812Ans.
This sentence has an error of subject-verb agreement. The group of dancers is a singular noun. Thus, the singular verb ‘was’ should be used.
The correct sentence should read ‘The group of dancers, who performed at this year’s National meet, was nowhere nearly as good as the group of
dancers who performed last year at the same event.’
813Ans.
There is an error in the part ‘c’ of the sentence. It should be ‘needs’ in place of need. Thus option c is correct choice.
814Ans.
There is an error in part ‘c’ of the sentence. It should be “to probe” instead of ‘probing’. So the correct answer is option A.
815Ans.
The given sentence is grammatically correct. Hence option e is the correct answer.
816Ans.
The sentence is grammatically correct. Hence the correct answer is option
817Ans.
There is an error in the third part of the sentence. It should be ‘have played’. Thus option ‘a’ is the correct answer.
818Ans.
The sentence is in simple past tense. So, the correct grammatical construction would be “…it was separated into two different parties”.
819Ans.
Before the names of rivers, the use of article ‘the’ is necessary. The correct sentence should read “Some portion of the World Trade Center site was
originally under THE Hudson River, with the shoreline in the vicinity of Manhattan Street.”

820Ans.
‘Works’ is a plural noun. Thus, the use of singular form of the verb ‘contains’ is incorrect. The correct sentence should read “The works of Aristotle
CONTAIN the earliest known formal study of logic, which was incorporated in the late 19th century into modern formal logic.”
821Ans.
The sentence is grammatically correct and requires no correction
822Ans.
In part 3 of the sentence, the verb ‘was’ is missing. The correct sentence should read “The HDI was developed by the Pakistani economist Mahbub
ul Haq working alongside Indian economist Amartya Sen and WAS published by the United Nations Development Programme.”
823Ans.
No one is singular and hence requires a singular pronoun for agreement. The correct sentence should read “Since no one completed HIS/HER
homework, the museum trip was cancelled.”
824Ans.
The first and second parts of the sentence are in the same vein. So, the conjunction ‘and’ should be used instead of ‘but’. The correct sentence is
“Every year, about one lakh people appear for the examination, and ten thousand clear it by securing pass marks.”
825Ans.
No error.
826Ans.
Universal truths should always be in the simple present. Thus, it should be ‘the sun always rises in the east’. Option D is the correct answer.
827Ans.
Since he is referred to as ‘the greatest formula one driver of all time’, ‘is’ should be used in place of ‘was’. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
828Ans.
In B, there is a misplaced modifier. It should be ‘child’s dirty shirt’. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
829Ans.
The sentence is grammatically correct.
830Ans.
In D, the subject is ‘the number’. Hence, singular ‘was’ has to be used. Option D is the correct answer.

Answers And Solutions

831Ans.
The author conveys that if the adults do not have real problems, they will be as happy as the child. The author is talking about a hypothetical case.
Since the sentence is in subjunctive mood, ‘were’ should have been used instead of ‘was’. ‘If the adult ‘were’ intouched’ is the correct expression
and hence, option A is the right answer.
832Ans.
We can infer from the given paragraph that the sound of steam in the exhaust made communicating by voice impossible. ‘Steam’ is a singular noun.
Therefore, ‘thunders’ should have been used
instead of ‘thunder’. The sentence given in option D contains an error and hence, option D is the right answer.
833Ans.
‘Each man’ acts as a singular noun. Thus, in part(d) use of ‘their’ must be replaced with ‘his’ for the sentence to be grammatically correct. Hence,
there is an error in part (d).
Hence, option D is the correct option.
834Ans.
‘It’ in part C refers to ‘expeditions’ in part A. Since ‘expeditions’ is plural, usage of ‘it’ incorrect and instead ‘they’ must be used.
Hence, option B is the correct option.
835Ans.
The correct idiom is ‘on the horizon’ and usage of ‘in the horizon’ is incorrect. Thus, there’s an error in part (d)
Hence, option B is the correct option

836Ans.
The sentence is in past tense. Hence, the usage of ‘arrive’ is incorrect and must be replaced with ‘arrived’. Thus, there’s an error in part (b).
Hence, option D is the correct option.
837Ans.
The sentence is error free and grammatically correct.
Hence, option E is the correct option.

Answers And Solutions

838Ans.

In the statement given in option A, the term ‘a rare but precious insights’ has been used. ‘A’ is an article used before a singular subject. Therefore,

‘a’ and ‘insights’ cannot go together. The sentence should have been ‘a rare but precious insight’ or ‘rare but precious insights’. Therefore, option A

is the right answer

839Ans.

In a sentence, if a person is referring to something situated near the end, ‘latter’ should be used. ‘Later’ is a term used to describe that something will

be done after some time. Therefore, the sentence in part C contains an error and hence, option C is the right answer.

840Ans.

The given paragraph is error free. Therefore, option E is the right answer

Choose the part of the sentence that has a grammatical error in it. If the sentence is grammatically correct, choose option 5. Ignore punctuation

errors.

841Ans.

‘Except’ has been incorrectly used in the given context. The right word would have been ‘accept’. Hence, option C.

842Ans.

The correct tense for the verb ‘cleaned’ is simple past. Hence, the word ‘have’ has been incorrectly added to the sentence. The sentence should have

been “Don’t accuse me of not doing my fair share as I cleaned the car inside out yesterday”.

843Ans.

The question should have been formed “Where can I . . .?”. Hence, option A.

844Ans.

The sentence does not have a grammatical error.

Answers And Solutions
846Ans. :
The second sentence is incorrect because it contains an adverb “ahead” which means further forward to some object and to connect it with the

object, preposition “of” must be used. Hence, option B is the correct option.

847Ans. :

In option A, since the sentence is in past tense, the past form of 'restrict' .i.e. ‘restricted’ should be used.

848Ans. :

Statement C is incorrect. An article should not be used before positions that are held at one time by one person only. Also, we have no article before

occupational titles when it is accompanied by a name such as General Eisenhower, Headmaster Gulab Ramchandani, and President Abraham

Lincoln. Here, the occupational titles are General, Headmaster and President which are followed by names (Eisenhower, Gulab Ramchandani,

Abraham Lincoln).

Therefore, option C is the apt answer.

849Ans. :

‘Countries’ must be replaced with ‘country’s’ since it shows possession. In this case, the air disaster being mentioned here happened in Indonesia.

Hence the correct answer is option B.

850Ans. :

In option A, the wrong degree of adjective has been used. ‘Bigger’ is a comparative degree of adjective and used when the comparison

occurs between two subjects. The correct adjective here is ‘biggest’.

In option B, instead of the preposition ‘on’ the correct preposition should be ‘in’.

In option C, ‘Osaka’ is a city and considered a singular noun and hence should be followed by the singular verb 'is’ instead of the plural verb 'are'.

In option D, ‘land’ is singular and hence instead of ‘these’, the determiner ‘this’ should be used.

Thus, all the options are incorrect making option E the correct answer.

Answers And Solutions
851Ans. :
In the 2nd segment of the above sentence, “expel” is a verb that expresses some movement. When we talk about a movement from within
somewhere or something, “out of” preposition should be used. Hence, the correction in the given segment is “helping to expel old stale air out of the
lungs”.
852Ans. :
In the given sentence, “people” is a plural common noun used in stating a general fact and with such nouns, articles shouldn’t be used
Hence, the correction in the 1st segment is “The problem with people nowadays is that”.
853Ans. :
The error in part I of the sentence is the absence of the preposition ‘to’ after 'up'. Only the preposition ‘up’ is incorrect here. The preposition ‘upto’
means ‘till a particular level.’
The error in part III is the usage of the preposition ‘of’ after the word ‘mere’ and it needs to be omitted. The preposition ‘of’ is not required here.
'mere' is used to emphasize the insignificant amount of time taken to travel now. 'Of' expresses the relationship between a part and a whole and is
not needed here.
854Ans. :
In the above sentence, “discharged” is an adjective which describes a state, while the main verb is missing. Since “will” is used (which is a first
form of verb), main verb “be” should be used. The correction in the 3rd segment is “and everyone’s responsibilities be properly discharged”.
855Ans. :
Statement (A) Statement A has no errors.
Statement (B) Replace ‘pushed’ with ‘push’, given sentence is in present tense. Statement C. Replace ‘in spite’ with ‘besides'. Statement D. Replace
‘website’ with ‘websites’ several is used for plural. Statement E. Replace ‘hold’ with ‘holds’. This is in accordance with 'the idea'.
Only Statement A is grammatically correct.
856Ans. :
Option B: Replace ‘have’ with ‘had’ because we use the past perfect or past perfect progressive to give background information for a past tense
event.
Option C: Replace ‘cried’ with ‘had been crying’ because we use the past perfect or past perfect progressive to give a reason for a past event.
Option D: Instead of ‘been arranging’, use ‘arranged’ because we use the past perfect (not the past perfect progressive) for a completed earlier event.
Option E: Instead of ‘dug’, use ‘been digging’ because we use the past perfect progressive (not past perfect). After you describe
complete event that happened, then after because you give the reason in past perfect progressive.
857Ans. :
Option A is grammatically correct.
In option B “he behaved” will come instead of “had been behaved”.
In option C “Associated to" should be replaced by “associated with”. The error of preposition is there.
In option D “condemnated “should be replaced by “condemned”, as the former is not a correct word.
In option E “innocent” should be replaced by “innocence” as we need a noun as "guilt" is.
858Ans. :
Good preparation is needed from both the manager and the employee.
In sentence B the tense of the part of the sentence written after "that" does not agree with the one written before it. In sentence C, "so" should be

replaced by "too". In sentence D, the plural noun "employees" should carry plural pronouns with it. However the relative pronoun "his" is singular.
So it should be replaced by "their". In sentence E, the word "realise" acts as infinitive and should carry "to" before it instead of "in".

Answers And Solutions

859Ans. :
Sometimes other factors make it hard for human institutions to take intervening action to lessen food scarcity.
In sentence A, there is incorrect use of conjunction. The conjunction used with " though " is "yet". Replace " but" with "yet". In sentence B, the
entire sentence is written in present tense so the word "failed" should be written as "fail". In sentence C, "yet" should be replaced by "but also", as
the preceding conjunction in the same sentence is "not only". The word "lesser" is an adjective and "lessen" is a noun. Sentence D is incorrect and
sentence E is the correct sentence.
860(b): The stative verbs (agree, believe, consider, doubt, differ etc,) are used to denote permanent mental state. It is why these verbs are generally not used in
Progressive / Imperfect Tense. Hence, ‘are believing’ should be replaced by ‘believe’
861.(4): The word interval is a Noun. To qualify a Noun, we use an Adjective, not an Adverb. Hence, ‘at regularly intervals’

should be replaced by ‘at regular intervals’. The word ‘regularly’ is an Adverb whereas ‘regular’ is an Adjective.
862(5): No error
863(3): The sense of the sentence is advisory. In such sentence we generally use Simple Present Tense. Hence, group of words ‘encountered such a situation’
should be replaced by ‘encounter such a situation’.
864(2): The sentence shows cause. Hence, ‘results into’ should be replaced by ‘result from’. Look at the sentences: The failure of the company results from
bad management. The cyclone has resulted into many thousands of deaths.
865(4): When Interrogative sentences are written in Indirect Speech, conjunction ‘that’ is not used with Wh-questions.
Look at the sentences: He said to me, “Where do you live?” (Direct) He asked me where I lived. (Indirect) Hence ‘he asked me what my ...’ is the
correct sentence.
866(1): Here Passive Voice (Simple Past) should be used. Hence , ‘the institution was founded.....’ is the correct sentence.
867(5): No error
868(3): The word quickly (Adverb) should be replaced by the word quick (Adjective).
869(4): As soon as is the correct form of correlative. Hence ‘as quick as’ should be replaced by ‘as soon as’.
870(3): Replace ‘because of poor’ by ‘because of poorly’, because the word poorly is an Adverb which modifies the word ‘maintained’ (Adjective).
871(5): No error
872(2): Here, in the group of words ‘consultants to help them’, the word ‘them’ has been wrongly used for the company. It is correct to use Objective Case ‘it’
(Pronoun) instead.
873(3): As ....... as....is used when comparing two people or things. Therefore, ‘be so high as ten’ should be replaced by ‘be as high as ten’.
874.(5): No error.
875(1): The possessive pronoun of ‘he’ is ‘his’. Hence , replace ‘He reports’ by ‘His reports’
876(1): The sentence express past time. Hence use ‘He was great leader...........
877(1): An estimated forty..... will be a correct sentence. It is better to use Adjective form of the word ‘estimate’.
878(4): When we express a truth or habit, it is correct to use Simple Present. Hence, ‘they learn something new’ will be correct usage.

879(4): Replace ‘was established from 1950’ by ‘was established in 1950’. Preposition ‘from’ is generally used to express the start of time.

Q925. The principle that (1) / a pen is mightier (2) / then a sword (3) / was known to early Greeks (4) / No error (5)

Answers And Solutions

903Ans (1): ‘One of’ is followed by Plural Noun/Pronoun. Hence, ‘One of the disadvantages’ will be a correct usage.
904Ans (2): The word necessarily is an Adverb while Adjective ‘necessary’ should be used.
905Ans (3): Replace ‘Customer letter asking’ by ‘Customer’s letter asking’.
905Ans (4): Here, a particular date has been mentioned. Hence, replace ‘only in April 1,1935’ by ‘only on April 1,1935’.
906Ans (3): Here infinite –to + V1 –should be used. Hence, replace ‘companies submitting their’ by ‘companies to submit their’.
907Ans (3): The structure of sentence in Present Perfect is: Subject + has / have + V3 Hence, replace ‘has spend his entire’ by ‘has spent his entire’.
908Ans (2): For living Noun/Pronoun Reflexive Pronoun ‘who’ should be used. Hence, ‘of Chinese workers who’ should be used.
909Ans (4): Here, five kilometers from beach should be used. Here, indicative of distance should be used
910Ans (1): Second person agrees with a Plural Verb. Hence, ‘ if you break the law ......’ should be used here.
911Ans (3): Here, infinitive i.e. and shop ... should be used because to come has been used as infinitive.
912Ans (2): Here, so difficult should be used. Look at the sentences: He is too weak to walk. He is so weak that he is unable to walk.
913Ans (2): Here, Past Simple should be used.
914Ans (4): ‘About a man appearance’ will be replaced by ‘about a man’s appearance’.
915Ans (2): ‘Besides her’ is replaced by ‘beside her’.
916Ans (5): When two Subjects are joined by Either ....or / Neither ... Nor then Verb should be according to the second Subject. For example, Either you or
your friend is guilty.( √) Either you or your friend are guilty. (X)
917Ans (3): Use ‘that are’ in place of ‘who are’. There remains a close relation between Relative Pronoun and its Antecedent in a

sentence. The Noun and Pronoun that are used before who/which/that are called Antecedents. When Antecedent refers to human being, then
who or that are used. On the other hand, if Antecedent refers to non-livings, small animals or plants. Then we use which or that. The student,
who are playing there with my children, is Sarika’s son. (√) The student, which are playing there with my children, is Sarika’s son. (X) The
watch who is on the table is mine. (X) The watch that / which is on the table is mine. (√)
918Ans (2): Use ‘a few instructions’ in the place of ‘a little instruction’. ‘A little’ is used with a Uncountable Nouns while ‘a few’ is used with Countable
Noun.
919Ans (5): No error.
920Ans (3): Use ‘offers salutation’ in the place of ‘offers salute’. ‘Salute’ is a Verb while ‘salutation’ is a Noun.

921Ans (2): Use ‘heart and soul’ in the place of ‘with heart and soul’. ‘Heart and soul’ is an idiom which means ‘wholly or devotedly’. Therefore, no
Preposition will be used before it. The sentence would be: He served the country heart and soul but he got only a few rewards.
922Ans (5): No error
923Ans (3): The word ‘more’ should not be used. ‘Prefer’ is itself a comparative Degree.
924Ans (3): The group of words ‘then a sword’ be replaced by ‘than a sword’. In comparative degree we use ‘than’, not ‘then’.
