    Education is (1)/ a important institution (2)/ in any modern or (3)/ modernizing society. (4)/ No error. (5)

    Solutions

    The article used in the second part of the sentence is wrong. ‘An’ is used before the sound of the vowels a,e,i,o,u and as the word here is ‘important’, ‘an’ should be used here.

    Solutions

    The word ‘apply’ makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. Here ‘she’ is being used to describe any woman. The present tense third person form of ‘apply’ for singular subject ‘she’ is ‘applies’. So, the sentence will be ‘she applies herself’.

    Neither of the two candidates(1)/ who had applied for(2)/ admission into(3)/ the USA MBA course were eligible for scholarship.(4)/ No error.(5)

    Solutions

    "Neither of" means that given two choices, both are to be individually rejected. Therefore a singular verb is required. Therefore, "was" instead of "were" should be used in part 4.

  • Question 22/25
    1 / -0

    Which of the idioms 1, 2, 3, and 4 given below each sentence should replace the idiom printed in bold in the following sentences to make sentence correct? If the sentence is correct mark answer 5, which is No correction required.

    A true friend is always ready to stand by you even in difficult times.

    Solutions

    To 'stand by' someone means to support that person. ‘To be standing’ is to actually stand physically. This does not go with ‘difficult times’. To ‘stand for’ something is to represent something. 'Stand up’ is used to mean that that you put your support behind an idea or cause. ‘Be standing’ implies that someone is standing continuously. E.g.: I have to stand by my friend even if he goes to jail.

     

  • Question 23/25
    1 / -0

    In the following sentence there are two blank spaces. Below, in each sentence there are five pairs of words. Find out which pair of words can be filled up in the blanks in the sentence in the same sequence to make the sentence grammatically correct and meaningfully complete.

    He ……… to the audience in a soft but confident tone all ……… had happened.

    Solutions

    The second blank can only be filled by 'that'. It is incorrect to use "all what happened" or "all whatever happened". Moreover, ‘briefed’ is used for a project that is about to take place. ‘Showed’ and ‘demonstrated’ are not possible as he is explaining some event that has already taken place.

  • Question 24/25
    1 / -0

    Read below sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is 5. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any)

    The media has played(1)/ a key role in(2)/ the success of LOC Kargil which(3)/ reflecting a real picture of the Kargil war.(4)/ No error.(5)

    Solutions

    The word 'reflecting' should be 'reflected' in the sentence, the verb should be in the past tense. We also know the tense is incorrect as it is mentioned that 'media has played'. The use of the present perfect tense here indicates that the next verb must be in simple past tense. So 'reflecting' should also be changed so that there is no inconsistency in the tense in the sentence.

     

  • Question 25/25
    1 / -0

    Read below sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is 5. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any)

    The central thesis of Ranade(1)/ were that we should introduce reform in such(2)/ a way that no violence(3)/ is done to ancient customs and traditions.(4)/ No error.(5)

    Solutions

    The use of 'were' is incorrect as the subject, 'central thesis of Ranade' is singular, and 'were' is used with plural subjects. Therefore, 'were' needs to be replaced with 'was' which is used with a singular subjects in order for the sentence to be grammatically correct.
