  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0.25

    In each of the given question four sentences are given in which only one is correct. Choose the correct statement as your answer choice. If all the statements are grammatically correct, choose “No Error” as your answer choice.

    Solutions

    The correct statement is (d). In (a), ‘of’ must be removed after ‘despite’ as despite does not take ‘of’ after it. Despite is a preposition meaning “regardless of,” “even though,” or “notwithstanding.” Thus, it is incorrect to use both prepositions (despite, of) together. In (b), ‘have’ must be changed into its singular verb ‘has’ for the singular pronoun ‘each’. Each, Every, None, Nobody, Anybody, Everybody- all of these are singular pronoun. In (c), ‘leisurely’ should be the correct form of ‘leisure’ as the required form is adverb for modifying the verb ‘stroll’.

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.25

    In each of the given question four sentences are given in which only one is correct. Choose the correct statement as your answer choice. If all the statements are grammatically correct, choose “No Error” as your answer choice.

    Solutions

    The correct statement is (a). In (b), ‘good’ must be changed to ‘well’, as well is the adverbial form of good(adjective). ‘well’ is modifying ‘did’, which is the past form of do(verb). In (c), ‘don’t’ must be changed to ‘doesn’t’ as ‘he’ is singular pronoun and needs singular verb. Become is the past participle form of become. Thus in (d), the correct form should be ‘become’ not became(past).

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0.25

    In each of the given question four sentences are given in which only one is correct. Choose the correct statement as your answer choice. If all the statements are grammatically correct, choose “No Error” as your answer choice.

    Solutions

    The correct statement is (d). In (a). ‘start’ and ‘finish’ must be in same form, i.e., either in past tense or simple present tense. Past tense refers an event happened in past, whereas simple present tense here will refer a daily occurrence. In (b), ‘like’ is used as a preposition. Like is used as a preposition to ask for a description of a person, place or thing. The sentence should be “What’s your English teacher like?” In (c), the sentence must be in present perfect continuous tense, which refers to an event that stated in past and still continuing. The structure of it is “subject + been + v-ing”. Thus, ‘watched’ must be changed to ‘watching’.

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0.25

    In each of the given question four sentences are given in which only one is correct. Choose the correct statement as your answer choice. If all the statements are grammatically correct, choose “No Error” as your answer choice.

    Solutions

    The correct statement is (c). In (a), ‘but’ must be removed. ‘although’ and ‘but’ both suggest contrasting view and using both of them in the same statement will negate each other. In (b), ‘neither’ must be changed to ‘either’, ‘neither……nor’ is used to suggests ‘not both of these’, whereas ‘either……or’ suggests one of these. In (d), ‘buildings’ should be the correct form instead of ‘building’. After ‘one of..’ we used plural form.
