  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0

    Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow the passage. Your answers to these items should be based on the passage only.

    In May 1966, ‘the Wold Health Organisation was authorised to initiate a global campaign to eradicate smallpox. The goal was to eradicate the disease in one decade. Because similar projects for malaria and yellow fever had failed, few believed that smallpox could actually be eradicated, but eleven years after the initial organisation of the campaign, no cases were reported in the field. 
    The strategy was not only to provide mass vaccinations, but also to isolate patients with active small-pox in order to contain the spread of the disease and to break the chain of human transmission. Rewards for reporting small-pox assisted in motivating the public to aid health workers. One by one, each smallpox victim was sought out, removed from contact with others and treated. At the same time, the entire, village where the victim had lived was vaccinated. 
    Today small-pox is no longer a threat to humanity. Routine vaccinations have been stopped worldwide.

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0

    In the following question, a sentence is divided into some parts. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is your answer. If there is no error, then choose (D) as your answer.

    You can eat (A)/ as much as you like (B)/ at the newly lunch bar (C)/ No Error (D)

    Solutions

    Replace 'newly' with 'new' (adjective). As 'newly' is an adverb and here we need an adjective to qualify noun 'lunch'.
    An adverb is used to qualify a verb.

     

  • Question 8/10

    In the following question, a sentence is divided into some parts. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is your answer. If there is no error, then choose (D) as your answer.

    The teahcer, as well as the students (A)/ have gone on an excursion (B)/ to Ooty during their summer vacation (C)/ No Error. (D)

    Solutions

    When a singular noun or pronoun is connected with another noun or pronoun by using words like with, as well as, besides, together with, no less than and other similar expressions, the verb is singular. 
    Here 'the teacher' is a singular noun and it is connected with 'the students' by using 'as well as' thus we use a singular verb, therefore, replace 'have' with 'has'.

     

  • Question 9/10

    In the following question, a sentence is divided into some parts. Find out which part of the sentence has an error. The number of that part is your answer. If there is no error, then choose (D) as your answer.

    The US (A)/ don't want (B)/ Indian in the Security Council (C)/ No Error (D)

    Solutions

    "The US" is a singular subject thus it takes a singular verb.
    Hence, replace 'don't' with 'doesn't'.

     

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0

    In the following question, a sentence is given with blank(s) to be filled in with appropriate word(s). Some alternatives are suggested for each question. Choose the correct alternative from the given alternatives.

    I realized that my pocket _____ picked.

    Solutions

    when two events are given in past tense, one of them must be in simple past tense and the other one is in past perfect.
    Here first event (I realized) given in simple past tense, therefore, the second event must be in past perfect. And the given second clause is in passive voice thus we use 'had been'. As passive voice in past perfect is  --> O + had + been + V3 + other agent.
    Note - The active voice is preferred when the agent (i.e. the person who performs the action) is to be made prominent. The passive voice is preferred when the agent is unknown or when we do not care to mention the agent and the passive form is preferred in the given sentence because the agent is either unknown or unimportant.
