  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0.25

    The following sentence has been divided into four parts, only one of which is correct. The other three parts carry errors. Find the correct part and mark the relevant option as your answer. If all the parts are correct, mark option E, i.e., “All are correct” as the answer.

    As soon as he came through a former (A)/ acquaintance or anyone from the staff, (B)/ he bristled up immediate and (C)/ grow spiteful, ironical, and contemptuous. (D)

    Solutions

    The correct part is ‘B’. The errors in the remaining parts are as follows:

    Part A: The preposition ‘through’ is incorrect. The phrase ‘come across’ means ‘to meet someone’. Therefore, ‘through’ must be replaced with ‘across’.

    Part C: An adverb (immediately) is required in the part C while an adjective (immediate) has been used.

    Part D: The sentence is in the past tense while ‘grow’ signifies present tense. Hence, it should be ‘grew’ to maintain the parallelism.

    Therefore, the correct sentence is: As soon as he came across a former acquaintance or anyone from the staff, he bristled up immediately and grew spiteful, ironical, and contemptuous.

    The following sentence has been divided into four parts, only one of which is correct. The other three parts carry errors. Find the correct part and mark the relevant option as your answer. If all the parts are correct, mark option E, i.e., “All are correct” as the answer.

    As the people (A)/ was generally poor (B)/ he seldom or ever (C)/ had some trouble with them. (D)

    Solutions

    The correct part is ‘A’. The errors in the remaining parts are as follows:

    Part B: People is a plural noun therefore, verb must be plural i.e. were.

    Part C: ‘Seldom or ever’ is incorrect. It should be ‘seldom or never’ (The correct expressions are ‘seldom or never’ and ‘seldom if ever’).

    Part D: ‘Seldom or never’ is used to refer to the things that almost never happen. ‘Some’ is used in positive statements. However, the sentence implies that since people were poor, he hardly had any problem with them. Therefore, ‘some’ must be replaced with ‘any’.

    Solutions

    The correct part is ‘A’. The errors in the remaining parts are as follows:

    Part B: ‘These’ is erroneous. ‘Work’ is singular hence, ‘this’ must be used.

    Part C: ‘Until’ must be replaced with ‘yet’ as the time frame according to the sentence is up until the present time.

    Part D: We always use the base form of the verb after ‘to’. However, past tense of the verb is used after ‘to’. Therefore, it must be replaced with ‘get’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.

    Hence, the correct sentence is: We only have people doing this work because we have not yet developed the technology to get machines to do it.
