  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0

    Below a statement has been divided in five parts. The part in bold is fixed and contains no error. Among the other parts find the erroneous part. If it contains no error choose the 5th option. (No error)

    March organizers called on the (A)/  Internal Revenue Service to revoke from the (B)/ NRA’s tax-exempt status and to stop accessing (C)/ to downloadable blueprints for 3D-printed guns. (D) 

    Solutions

    The error in part B is the preposition 'from' and it needs to be eliminated as with 'revoke' we do not use 'from.'

    The error in C is the verb 'accessing' which needs to be replaced with the noun 'access'. The structure of the sentence needs a noun here and not verb.

    Thus option 2 is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0

    Below a statement has been divided in five parts. The part in bold is fixed and contains no error. Among the other parts find the erroneous part. If it contains no error choose the 5th option (No error).

    All two but of these ten cities are in (A)/ the Northeast or Midwest, parts of the country (B)/ that has historically lost population to places (C)/ with warmer climates and better economic opportunities. (D)

    Solutions

    The error lies in A and C.

    The word 'but' has been incorrectly placed in A and should be placed before the word 'two.' It means except the two cities.'

    The error in C is the subject-verb disagreement. The subject here is plural which is 'parts of the country' thus the verb should be 'have' and not 'has.'

    Thus option 1 is the correct answer.

     

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0

    Below a statement has been divided in five parts. The part in bold is fixed and contains no error. Among the other parts find the erroneous part. If it contains no error choose the 5th option (No error).

    Oppo and Vivo have prioritized the rural China, (A)/ setting a huge network of brick-and-mortar stores (B)/ that get their devices out to consumers (C)/ who might not yet have access to the internet. (D)

    Solutions

    The error in part A is the article 'the' which needs to be eliminated. There is no need of any article before the words 'rural China.' It is not something specific.

    The error in B is the absence of the preposition 'up' after the word 'setting'. 'Setting up' means 'constructing' which makes a proper meaning here thus 'up' needs to be introduced.

    Option 3 is thus the correct answer.

     

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0

    Below a statement has been divided in five parts. The part in bold is fixed and contains no error. Among the other parts find the erroneous part. If it contains no error choose the 5th option (No error).

    The Silk Road not only served as a (A)/ major trade route between India and China, (B)/ but also credited for facilitating (C)/ the spread of Buddhism from India to East Asia. (D)

    Solutions

    The error lies in part C as the verb 'is' is missing after 'but.' To make the sentence correct the verb must be used here and should read as:'but is also credited for facilitating..' Thus option 3 is the correct answer.
