A.A
B.B
C.C
D.D
E.E Ans. A
6) Answer: A
Here in the given question, preposition “to” is
missing before the definite article, it should
be “led to” and hence (A) is the correct option.
Preposition: A preposition is a word which
precedes a noun (or a pronoun) to show the
noun's (or the pronoun's) relationship to
another word in the sentence.
7) Flights between cities that are under (A)/ 40

minutes has been classified under section one
(B)/, while those under 40-60 minutes (C)/ are
under section two (D)/ No error (E).
A.A
B.B
C.C
D.D
E.E Ans. B
7) Answer: B
The given sentence is in present perfect tense.
It is a verb tense which is used to show that an
action has taken place once or many times
before now.
The plural noun “flights” is used here which
indicates that a plural verb must be used in
the same and hence, “have” should be used in
part B
8) "Steps are being taken by subsidiaries (A)/ of
CDEL for recovery of dues from MACEL,” (B)/ the
company said in a regulatory filing (C)/ that
disclosed the findings of the investigation (D)/ No
error (E).

seats in an aircraft at less than the mid-point price between
the highest (C)/ and lowest fares, aviation secretary Pradeep
Singh Kharola earlier said (D)/ No error (E).
A. A
B. B
C. C
D. D
E. E Ans. A
9) Answer: A
Here in the given sentence, the preposition “at” is
inappropriately used here which is used to
indicate place. “From” indicates the point in time at
which a particular process, event, or activity starts,
it should be “ranges from” in part A.
Preposition: A preposition is a word which
precedes a noun (or a pronoun) to show the noun's
(or the pronoun's) relationship to another word in
the sentence.
10) We have not been provided any documentary
evidence (A)/ to draw an interference (B)/ that
there may have been any adverting or inadvertent

Direction (11-14): In the following questions,

a sentence has been divided into five parts.
Choose the part that contains error from the
given alternatives.
11) There is a lot of discussion in (A)/ the United
States about how to (B)/ help people to come
together (C)/ to solve the complex problems (D)/
facing the nation and the world. (E)
A.C
B.E
C.A
D.D
E.B Ans. A
11) Answer: A
The error lies in part C. A few verbs like ‘help,
bid, make, etc.’ are followed by the bare
infinitive (without ‘to’).
Therefore, the correct sentence is:
There is a lot of discussion in (A)/ the United
States about how to (B)/ help people come
together (C)/ to solve the complex problems
(D)/ facing the nation and the world. (E)
12) The concept that armed strength could (A)/

matters including economic (C)/ questions have
greatly declined (D)/ and seems to decline further.
(E)
A.A
B.D
C.B
D.E
Ans. B
E.C
12) Answer: B
The error lies in part D. In the given sentence,
the subject is ‘concept’. So, it should be followed
by the singular verb ‘has’.
The concept that armed strength could (A)/
evoke in the dealings of governments (B)/ over
all matters including economic (C)/ questions
has greatly declined (D)/ and seems to decline
further. (E)
13) Economic warfare was applied (A)/ both in
periods of peace and war (B)/ against countries to
weaken (C)/ their economy and thereby reduced
(D)/ their political and military power. (E)
A.A
B.B
C.C
D.D
E.E
Ans. D
13) Answer: D
The error lies in part D. ‘to’ is followed by the base
form of the verb. So, both the verbs before and
after the conjunction should be in the base form of
the verb.
Economic warfare was applied (A)/ both in
periods of peace and war (B)/ against countries to
weaken (C)/ their economy and thereby reduce
(D)/ their political and military power. (E)
14) Unless China cooperates, (A)/ the truth will
never be (B)/ known but for as longer as (C)/ it
prevaricates, a suspicion will (D)/ fester that it
has something to hide. (E)
A.D
B.E
C.B
D.A
E.C Ans. E
14) Answer: E
The error lies in part C. The adjectives used between the
structure ‘as…..as’ should always be in the positive degree
(not comparative or superlative).
For example,
He is as smart as his brother. (correct)
He is as smarter as his brother. (wrong)
He is as smartest as his brother. (wrong)
Unless China cooperates, (A)/ the truth will never be (B)/
known but for as long as (C)/ it prevaricates, a suspicion
will (D)/ fester that it has something to hide. (E)
Direction (15-16): In each question given

below, there is a sentence which has been
divided into five parts. One of these parts is
not grammatically correct and needs a
correction. Read the sentence carefully and
mark the option with the part of the sentence
that contains an error
15) The finance minister made it clear that (a)/ the
plan only involves brownfield projects (b)/ and not
land and also promised to (c)/ give incentives to states
for undertaking (d)/ disinvestment and asset
monetisation (e)/.

The correct answer is option (e).

16) Ownership of assets remain with the (a)/
government and there will be a (b)/ mandatory
handback, which means (c)/ they will have to give
back (d)/ after a specified time (e)/.
A. a
B. b
C. c
D. d
E. e Ans. A
16) Answer: A
The subject in part (a) is ‘ownership’, which is

singular; therefore, the verb ‘remain’ must be
singular. So the correct usage should be
‘ownership of assets remains’.
The correct answer is option (a).

Direction (17-20): Here, in each of the

questions below, you will find that a sentence
has been divided into five parts (A), (B), (C),
(D) and (E). Two parts have an error in them
and three parts are grammatically correct.
The option containing the pair of letters with
the wrong part of the sentence will be your
answer.
17) The extent of the ban, which comes just two
weeks (A)/before the pandemic-postpone Olympics
open, (B)/will be announced later on Thursday
(C)/in the International Olympic Committee and
Japanese organizers.(D)/No error (E)/
A.BD
B.AC
C.CD
D.AD
Ans. A
E.No error
17) Answer: A
In part B that before the pandemic ‘postponed’ and
not ‘postpone’ a simple verb. Also, in part D, ‘by
the’ will be the correct usage instead of ‘in the’.
We have these usages;
1) Postpone verb
2) ‘by the’ preposition
and in this sentence we go with the 2nd one.
Therefore option A is the correct answer choice.
18) With Covid-19 infections risings, (A)/the
Japanese government has (B)/announce a state of
emergency (C)/in the country to contain the
spread.(D)/No error (E)/
A.BD
B.AC
C.CD
D.AD
E.No error Ans. B
18) Answer: B
In part A that Covid-19 infections ‘rising’ and not
‘risings.’ Also, in part C, ‘announced’ will be the
correct usage ie; ‘past participle form’
We have these usages;
1) risings plural noun
2) announced past participle and in this sentence
we go with the second one or the 3rd form of the
verb .
Therefore option B is the correct answer choice.
19) It has also been announced by the
(A)/International Olympic Committee and Japanese
organizers(B)/ that fans will be barred from the Tokyo
Olympics (C)/as the administration look to contain the
virus. (D)/ No error (E)/
A.BD

C.CD

choice.
