  • Question 1/10
    1 / -0

    Direction: Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. If the given sentence is correct as it is, mark the answer as No error. Ignore the errors of punctuation if any.

    He was successful in (1)/ winning the support of many (2)/ of the younger princes, and in (3)/ establish a new court of justice. (4)/ No error (5)

    Solutions

    After a preposition only gerund form (V-ing) is used and in part 4 V1 form (establish) is used which is incorrect here. It should be replaced by ‘establishing’. Hence there is an error part 4 and option D is the answer.

     

  • Question 2/10
    1 / -0

    Direction: In the following question, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is free from error, select ‘No Error’.

    Scarcely had he returned to Germany (1)/ and the Lateran disavowed all (2)/ that the pope had done, (3)/ on the score that it had been extorted by force. (4)/ No error (5)

    Solutions

    Hardly, scarcely and barely are followed by “when” but here in the given sentence when is missing. So the word ‘and’ in part 2 should be replaced by when to make the sentence correct. Hence there is an error part 2 and option B is the answer.

     

  • Question 3/10
    1 / -0

    Direction: Read the 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 corresponding to that part will be your answer.

    You may came to America (1)/ and be poor, but if you work hard, (2)/ your children will have (3)/ a better life and a better opportunity. (4)

    Solutions

    After the modal verbs, only V1 form of verb should be used but in part 1, V2 form of 'come' (came) is used and that is incorrect. It should be replaced with come. Hence, there is an error in part 1 and option A is the  correct answer.

     

  • Question 4/10
    1 / -0

    Direction: Read the 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 corresponding to that part will be your answer.

    In the industrial regions of northern France cattle (1)/ is stall-fed with the waste (2)/ products of the beet-sugar factories, (3)/ oil-works and distilleries. (4)

    Solutions

    "Cattle" can only be used in the plural, not in the singular but in part 2, a singular verb is used for it. So, "is" in part 2 should be replaced by "are". Hence, option B is the answer.

     

  • Question 5/10
    1 / -0

    Pierre, accompanied by the soldiers, (1)/ was advancing to the spot where (2)/ the general stood, but the (3)/ French soldiers stopped him. (4)

    Solutions

    There is no error in the sentence. 'Pierre' is the subject here and the verb is agreeing with it here. Words like ‘with, together with, along with, besides, as well as, including, in addition to', etc. do not affect the number of the verb. If the main subject is singular, the verb has to be singular; if the subject is plural, the verb has to be plural. Hence, option E is correct.

     

  • Question 6/10

    Solutions

    Between is used for two things and among for more than two. When more than two entities are specified, 'among' should always be used. Here there are more than two parties that signed the partnership. Here the ‘among’ is correct. 

     

  • Question 7/10

    Interestingly, political cartoons of the era, (1)/ both for as well as against (2)/ FDR, showed him (3)/ unaffected by the disease. (4)

    Solutions

    'Both' can’t be followed by ‘as well as’ as it is not a substitution for ‘and’. So, ‘as well as’ should be replaced by 'and' here. Hence, there is an error part 2 and option B is the answer.

     

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0

    In 1815, he represented himself (1)/ at the congress of Vienna, and succeeded in (2)/ obtaining for Netherlands (3)/ a considerable augmentation of territory. (4)

    Solutions

    There should be ‘the’ before Netherlands because we include the before countries with plural names (the Philippines, the Maldives and the Netherlands). So, error is in part 3 and option C is correct.

    Alluring brooks of crystal water flowed sparkling between (1)/ their flower-strewn banks, while scattered over (2)/ the valley were dozens of the quaintest and the most (3)/ picturesque cottages our travellers had ever beheld. (4)/ No Error (5)

    Solutions

    When we use the article 'the' twice in a sentence, we indicate that there are two separate nouns. But there is only one noun in the given sentence (cottages). So, there should be only one article and that should in front of the first adjective used (quaintest). Hence, the correct answer is C

     

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0

    The state of the Count's affairs became quite (1)/ obvious after a month his death, surprising everyone by (2)/ the immense total of small debts the existence (3)/ of which no one had suspected. (4)

    Solutions

    'After' is used tell about sequences. Part (2) is trying to tell that the time that is being spoken about is a month after the person's death. So, the position of 'after' is wrong. Or if 'after' is left unchanged, we should use 'from' before 'his death' so as to give a time-frame relating his death to the month after that. Hence, the correct answer is B.
