  • Question 1/10

    The capital's potential in the emerging service sector has opened the doors of capital inflows that are yet not available to traditional industries. 

    Solutions

    Correct option - 3

    The adverb 'yet' is not used in the middle of the sentence. In that case, use adverb 'still'. Also, a direction is shown towards capital inflows. So, it is better to use preposition to in place of of. Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

    1 / -0

    Below a statement has been divided into five parts. The part in bold is fixed and contains no error. Among the other parts, find the erroneous part. If it contains no error, choose option 5 (no error).

    A great number of (A)/ venture capitalists is actively seeking (B)/ to fund budding (C)/ knowledgeable entrepreneurs. (D)

    Solutions

    Correct option - 4

    Firstly, 'A number' always follows plural verb. It means replace is with are in B part. 

    Since, 'budding' is used as an adjective in C part. Here, it is not needed to use another adjective 'knowledgeable' because it is understood that both are used for noun 'entrepreneurs'. So, replace knowledgeable with knowledge. 

    Thus, option 4 i.e. both B & D is the most suitable answer. 

    Correct sentence - A great number of venture capitalists are actively seeking to fund budding knowledge entrepreneurs.

    Nowadays, Chandra has been teaching English because the teacher of English has been absenting him since a month. 

    Solutions

    Correct option - 3

    If we use 'has been teaching', this needs a time expressing word for this particular clause. But, here, no time expressing word is mentioned. Hence, option 5 is eliminated.

    Also, 'since' is used for a particular time. Here, 'a month' is given, this is a time-period. Hence, use for in place of since. 

    Thus, options 1 & 4 are eliminated. 

    If we use 'would teach', it shows past tense. But 'nowadays' shows present tense. Hence, option 2 is eliminated.

    Thus, option 3 i.e. teaches, himself for is the correct answer.
