Question 4:
Direction :- The following sentence has been divided into parts. that contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
The research fellow defended / his thesis scholarly / and obtained the degree.
The research fellow defended
and obtained the degree
No error
his thesis scholarly
The given sentence needs an adverb and not an adjective(scholarly).
Hence, 'his thesis in a scholarly manner' is the most appropriate answer.
Question 5:
Direction :- The following sentence has been divided into parts. that contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
He could not / get a job / despite of his best efforts.
his best efforts
get a job
He could not
despite of
We can either use the phrase 'in spite of' or 'despite' in a sentence to show that something happened although you did not expect it. However, both the phrases are grammatically correct.
Hence, 'despite' is the most appropriate structure.
Question 6:
Direction :- The following sentence has been divided into parts. that contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
She speaks / very highly / of both her / daughter-in-laws.
of both her
daughter-in-laws
very highly
She speaks
We can never write '-in-laws' because adding 's' in the suffix(in-law) is wrong. However, we write daughter-in-law for a single female and daughters-in-law for more than two females. Similarly, the given sentence talks about two daughters-in-law.
Hence, 'daughters-in-law' is the most appropriate structure.
Question 7:
Direction :- The following sentence has been divided into parts. that contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
She has been working tirelessly since hours.
She has
been working
since hours
tirelessly
"Since" is used to denote a point of time and for depicting an activity that is happening from a long time like since time immemorial/since ancient times. "For" is used for a fixed period of time(countable) like 2 years/3 months/4days/8 hours and for an activity that happened in a recent time. However, in the given question, we can count the working hours.
Hence, for hours will be the correct sentence structure.
Question 8:
Direction :- Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underline/Bold segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to improve it, select 'no improvement required'.
She asked from me that I had seen the movie or not.
me whether I had seen
No substitution
from me if I have
to me that I saw
If an interrogative sentence (in which a question is asked) is written in the indirect form(speech), then it is incorrect to write 'asked' and 'that' together. However, in this type of sentence, the Subject follows the reporting verb(asked), and 'If/Whether' follows the Subject.
Hence, 'asked (reporting verb) me whether I had seen' is the most appropriate answer.
Question 9:
Direction :- Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underline/Bold segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to improve it, select 'no improvement required'.
None other beside you are knowing the truth.
beside you is knowing
than you knows
but you are knowing
No substitution
The phrase 'none other than' is used for a single person. However, according to the "Subject-Verb Agreement Rule", a singular subject always takes a singular verb and a plural subject always takes a plural verb. In the given sentence, the phrase 'None other than' refers to a singular subject that will take 'knows' as a singular verb.
Hence, 'than you knows' is the most appropriate answer.
Question 10:
Direction :- Select the most appropriate option to substitute the underline/Bold segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to improve it, select 'no improvement required'.
Accordingly to my opinion your essay is the best.
According to me
In mine opinion
No substitution
According to mine opinion
'Accordingly' is an adverb and we can never begin a sentence with it. So, accordingly' will be replaced with 'according'.
Hence, 'According to me' is the most appropriate answer.
