Direction :- Select the most appropriate option to fill in the blank.
He was _________ at his brother's refusal to help him financially.
indignant
enamoured
enchanted
indicted
indignant
'Indignant' means shocked or angry & 'angry / indignant at something' will be the correct grammatical structure. However, the given sentence states that he was indignant (angry) at his brother's refusal to help him financially. Hence, 'indignant' is the most appropriate answer.
Question 2:
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'.
I asked Rahul that how far was his office from his home.

"Wh- family (Who, When, How, What, Where) + Subject + Verb" is grammatically the correct structure for an Interrogative sentence (in which a question is asked) written in Indirect speech. For example, Sam asked me where I was going. Similarly, the given sentence is also an interrogative statement.
Hence, 'how far his office (Subject) was (verb)' is the most appropriate answer.
Question 3:
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'.
It was too an interesting movie.
so
No improvement required
enough
such
Such
'Too' is used in the sentences with a negative sense. But, the given sentence has a positive sense as the movie was interesting. However, 'such' is used for emphasizing the degree of something like such a nice play, such a bad boy, etc.
Hence, we will replace 'too' with 'such' to grammatically correct the sentence.
Question 4:
The following sentence has been divided into parts, which contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
Parul is / ten years / elder than / her sibling.
elder than
ten years
Parul is
her sibling
The comparative degree 'elder' will not be used with 'than' because it will become a case of superfluousness (not necessary).
Hence, 'than' will be replaced with 'to' and 'elder to' is the most appropriate structure.
Question 5:
The following sentence has been divided into parts, which contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.
They will be ready leaving for the airport in an hour.
for the airport
They will be
ready leaving
in an hour
"Ready to leave" is the most appropriate structure, because if we are ready for something that means it is a futuristic action and for it, we will use infinitive(to) and not the gerund (ing).
Question 6:
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'.
These shoes are cheap as well durable.
both cheap and durable
more cheaper than durable
neither cheaper nor durable
No improvement required
both cheap and durable
The phrase 'as well as' is incomplete in the given sentence and we are discussing two qualities (low price & durability) of the shoes.
Hence, 'both' which means 'the one as well as the other' will be used for the two qualities & 'both cheap and durable becomes the most appropriate answer.

The following sentence has been divided into parts, which contains an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options.

Hence, 'it would be better if' is the most appropriate structure.
