  • Question 3/10
    2 / -0.5

    Given below are four jumbled sentences. Select the option that gives their correct order.

    A. But the rest of the students were rushing past her for a break like she didn't exist.

    B. She slowly pushed open the library door and took a seat at one of the tables in the corner.

    C. And today, Jessica really felt like maybe she didn't exist.

    D. When the bell rang for lunch, Jessica took her lunch box and started moving towards the library

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 2, i.e. DACB.

    The first sentence always introduces a topic and is independent in its meaning.

    Sentence D introduces the girl Jessica who is the topic of discussion and hence the 1st sentence

    AC forms a mandatory pair here as what is said in statement A i.e. ‘like she didn’t exist’ is supported in statement C.

    Only option 2 has this pair AC.

    Hence, DACB is the correct sequence.

  • Question 4/10
    2 / -0.5

    Given below are six sentences 4 of which are jumbled. The first and the last sentences are given. Pick the option that gives the logically correct order of the four sentences.

    S-1: One night Mulla Nasruddin Hodja had a dream.

    A: At the mention of ten gold coins, Hodja agreed and showed him to his room.

    B: The next morning, the man thanked Hodja and began taking out the gold coins from his purse.

    C: He said he would pay ten gold coins to Hodja if he was allowed the privilege.

    D: A man knocked at his door and asked if he could spend the night in his house.

    S-6: But he took out only nine from it and stopped.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 2, i.e. DCAB.

    1. Sentence D gives us an introduction to the dream that Nasruddin had. It talks about how the dream started so it appears in the first place.
    2. Sentence C talks about a condition given by the man who appeared in his dream.
    3. Sentence A talks about what Nasruddin did after hearing the condition of the man so this statement will appear as the following one.
    4. Sentence B talks about what the man in the dream did after having been granted the privilege to stay. So, it will follow sentence A.
  • Question 5/10
    2 / -0.5

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.

    Rohan verbally insulted Stephen in front of his parents.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Stephen was verbally insulted by Rohan in front of his parents.

    • In passive voice, the subject of the active voice sentence ("Rohan" in this case) becomes the agent of the action ("by Rohan").
    • The object of the active voice sentence ("Stephen" in this case) becomes the subject of the passive voice sentence.
    • The verb "was verbally insulted" is in the correct past tense passive form, indicating that Stephen received the action (was insulted) rather than Rohan performing the action.

    Hence, the correct answer would be Stephen was verbally insulted by Rohan in front of his parents.

  • Question 6/10
    2 / -0.5

    Identify the segment in the sentence which contains the grammatical error from the given options.

    My friend has started a restaurant in a wooden big building in Manali.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 2 i.e. in a wooden big building.

    Error Concept: Incorrect adjective order.

    What is wrong: The adjectives 'wooden' and 'big' are not in the correct order.

    Grammar Concept: In English, the usual adjective order is opinion-size-age-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose + noun. So, 'big' (size) comes before 'wooden' (material).

    Incorrectness of the concept in context: 'wooden big' violates this rule.

    Correction: Change the order to 'big wooden'.

    Corrected phrase: in a big wooden building.

    Final sentence: My friend has started a restaurant in a big wooden building in Manali.

    Hence, the chosen option is correct.

  • Question 7/10
    2 / -0.5

    Identify the segment in the sentence which contains the grammatical error from the given options.

    Organizing World Cup matches in England imply that rains can be a constant threat.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 2 i.e. in England imply.

    Error Concept: Subject-verb agreement.

    What is wrong: The verb 'imply' is used with a singular subject 'Organizing', which is incorrect.

    Grammar Concept: A gerund (verb + ing used as a noun) like 'Organizing' is singular and takes a singular verb.

    Incorrectness of the concept in context: 'imply' is plural; it should be 'implies'.

    Correction: Replace 'imply' with 'implies'.

    Corrected phrase: in England implies.

    Final sentence: Organizing World Cup matches in England implies that rains can be a constant threat.

    Hence, the chosen option is correct.

  • Question 8/10
    2 / -0.5

    Select the option that expresses the given sentence in passive voice.

    Sara was bringing the cake for the party.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 3 i.e. The cake for the party was being brought by Sara.

    • In the passive voice, the subject of the active sentence "Sara" becomes the agent of the passive sentence "by Sara".
    • The object of the active sentence "the cake" becomes the subject of the passive sentence "The cake").
    • The verb "was bringing" is changed to "was being brought" in the passive voice construction.

    Hence, the correct sentence would be The cake for the party was being brought by Sara.

  • Question 9/10
    2 / -0.5

    In the sentence identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.

    Recently, I came through a person who loves to help the people in need.

    Solutions

    1. The error lies in part 1 of the statement because of the wrong use of the "Phrasal verb".
    2. We need to replace "Through" with "Across" to make the statement grammatically correct.

    Grammatical concept:- 

    • Come acrossYou find them or meet them by chance.
    • As in, I came across a group of children playing.
    • Meaningfully we need to replace "came through" with "came across".
