  • Question 2/10
    2 / -0.5

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

    A. A tortoise was resting under a tree, on which a bird had built its nest. 

    B. The tortoise spoke to the bird mockingly, “What a shabby home you have! It is made of broken twigs, it has no roof, and looks crude.

    C. I think my house, which is my shell, is much better than your pathetic nest”.

    D. What’s worse is that you had to build it yourself.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 3 i.e. ABDC.

    • Sentence ‘A’ is clearly the opening sentence, since it tells about the beginning of the paragraph “A tortoise was resting under a tree, on which a bird had built its nest.”
    • Sentence B will follow it which talks about “The tortoise spoke to the bird mockingly,”
    • Sentence D will follow it as in it tortoise is asking question to bird. The pronoun “you” in the sentence refers to the bird. 
    • The last sentence is sentence C as pronoun ‘I’ in it refers to the tortoise. 

    So, we have got the sequence ‘ABDC’ which is option 3.

  • Question 3/10

    Sentences of a paragraph are given below in jumbled order. Arrange the sentences in the correct order to form a meaningful and coherent paragraph.

    B. As this is a service-oriented profession and those who want to make money should not enter politics.

    C. These political leaders should study the lives of true democratic leaders who left the world without possessing even a single bedroom house after holding high offices.

    D. Politics has become a profit yielding business and some millionaires are entering politics for making more and more money.

    Solutions

    C - provides an example of true democratic leaders who remained selfless.

  • Question 5/10
    2 / -0.5

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

    If you’re among them who dream of making their mark in the field of space, you’re in luck.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 3 i.e. If you’re among them.

    Error concept: Incorrect use of “them” before a relative clause.

    What is wrong: The segment “among them who” is incorrect.

    Grammatical concept: When a relative clause like “who dream…” is used, it must refer back to a subject or demonstrative pronoun such as “those,” not “them.”

    Incorrectness of the concept in context: “Them who dream” is ungrammatical. The relative clause “who dream…” should refer to “those” — the correct subject form.

    How to correct: Replace “them” with “those”

    Correction: If you’re among those who dream

    Final sentence: If you’re among those who dream of making their mark in the field of space, you’re in luck.

    Hence, the chosen option is the correct one.

    Type of sentence: Interrogative

    Tense: Present continuous

  • Question 9/10
    2 / -0.5

    Identify the best way to improve the underlined part of the given sentence. If there is no improvement required, select ‘no improvement’.

    The more they earn, more they spend on luxury.

    Solutions

    The correct answer is option 3 i.e. the more they spend.

    Error concept: Improper use of the comparative correlative

    What is wrong: The sentence is missing a second “the” which breaks the grammatical parallelism.

    Grammatical concept: In comparative correlative constructions, both clauses should follow the structure:

    "The more X, the more Y""The less X, the less Y", etc.

    Incorrectness of the concept in context: Saying "The more they earn, more they spend..." is ungrammatical because it omits the second "the."

    How to correct: Add “the” before “more they spend.”

    Correction: the more they spend

    Final sentence: The more they earn, the more they spend on luxury.

    Hence, the chosen option is the correct one.
