  • Question 6/10
    1 / -0

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

    He learnt the alphabets at the age of four.

    Solutions

    Option B has the grammatically incorrect part. The word ‘alphabets’ does not exist. Alphabet, as we know, is a set of letters or symbols in a fixed order used to represent the basic set of speech sounds of a language, in English, they are the set of letters from A to Z. Adding an ’s’ making it alphabets is like adding ’s’ to audience. There is no singular to either of these words.

    Therefore, replace "alphabets" with "alphabet".

     

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0

    Identify the segment in the sentence which contains the grammatical error.

    She enquired from the stranger who was he and what he wanted from her. 

    Solutions

    The sentence indicates the indirect speech where reported speech is kept in an assertive form and not in question form. It means that the question words like what, why, where, etc. works only as conjunction and the remaining sentence is written in normal form (subject + verb). This means part B must be written as "who he was and".

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.

    1 / -0

    In the sentence, identify the segment which contains the grammatical error. If the sentence has no error, then select 'No error'.

    The heavy-weight fighter was knocking out in one punch.

    Solutions

    The error is in option B. The sentence is in passive voice as it mentions the fighter getting beaten by the opponent. In passive voice, the third form of main verb is used. So, the use of progressive form of verb "knocking" is incorrect here. It needs to be replaced by "knocked"

     

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0

    In the sentence, identify the segment which contains the grammatical error. If the sentence has no error, then select 'No error'.

    What make people angry or tense is actually a mystery which is difficult to explain.

    Solutions

    The error is in option A. Here, the adverb "what" is referring to a single entity or factor and therefore, it should be treated as a singular noun. This means that the verb should also be of singular form. Therefore, replace "make" with "makes" as the sentence is of simple present tense.
