The shopkeeper would have fined her if he come to know that she damaged the toy on exhibit.
he came to knew
No substitution
he came to know
he comes to knew

Hence, 'he came to know' is the most appropriate answer.
Question 3:
In the given sentence identify the segment which contains a grammatical error.
All newly hired employees must submitted to a background check.
All newly hired employees
to a
must submitted
background check.
The erroneous part is "must submitted"
• In Option 2, the usage of 'Submitted' is incorrect instead of this we need to use "Submit"
• According to grammar, whenever the sentence has an auxiliary then, we need to use a base form of the verb.
Let's see some examples-
。 You must submit your application before 1 January.
• He doesn't submit the task yet.
So the correct sentence is- All newly hired employees must submit to a background check.
Question 4:
The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Ultimately it turned / out to be a fight / between an elephant / and a ant.
and a ant.
between an elephant
Ultimately it turned
out to be a fight
The correct answer is "and a ant".
• The error in this segment is in the use of the indefinite article "a" before the word "ant".
• Since "ant" begins with a vowel sound, the correct article to use is "an", making the correct phrase "and an ant".
Therefore, the correct answer is "option 1".
