    An emerging contemporary example of (1)/ radical change are in the (2)/ businesses which to date have been (3)/ concerned with the defence industries. (4)

    Solutions

    The error is in the second part of the sentence. We use singular verb after singular noun. Here the subject ‘radical change’ is singular. Hence, in place of ‘are’, ‘is’ must be used.

    Hence, option B is correct.

    When the petrol situation (1)/ started to worse earlier this week (2)/ the site saw (3)/ a 300 per cent increase in traffic.
    Solutions

    The error is in the second part. The use of the adjective ‘worse’ is incorrect and we need the verb ‘worsen’ which means to make or become worse.

    Hence, option B is correct.

    Directions For Questions

    Direction: Read the following sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence.

    There is many a boy (1)/ here today who look on (2)/ war as all glory, but (3)/ boys, it is all hell. (4)
    Solutions

    The error is in the second part. Both ‘many’ and ‘many a’ convey the same meaning that is "a large number of". The only difference is that ‘many’ is used with countable plural nouns followed by plural verb while ‘many a’ is followed by a singular countable noun and takes a singular verb with it. So, in place of ‘look’, ‘looks’ should be used in part two.

    Hence, option B is correct.

  • Question 4/10

    Nations must insure that relief and (1)/ stimulus packages reach the most vulnerable, (2)/ including meeting the liquidity needs of (3)/ small-scale food producers and rural businesses.(4)
    Solutions

    The error is in the first part of the sentence. Proper verb is not used here. ‘Insure’ means ‘arrange for compensation in the event of damage to or loss of (property), or injury to or the death of (someone), in exchange for regular payments to a company or to the state’. It is wrong in this context and should be replaced by the verb ‘ensure’. It means ‘make certain of obtaining or providing (something)’.

    Hence, option A is correct.

    The CIA did not realized that (1)/ the infamous Vault 7 hacking tools (2)/ had been stolen until WikiLeaks (3)/ published the cache in March 2017. (4)
    Solutions

    The error is in the first part of the sentence. Note that, when “did not” is used in a sentence, the verb must be in its base form. So, the verb “realized” should be replaced by “realize” in the first part.

    Hence, option A is correct.

  • Question 6/10

    A Winchester photographer has been (1)/ honoured by having one (2)/ of her images chose (3)/ for a national collection. (4)
    Solutions

    The error is in the third part of the sentence. The sentence is of passive voice, so, third form of verb should be used in the sentence. So, in the third part of the sentence ‘chosen’ should be used instead of ‘chose’.

    Hence, option C is correct.

  • Question 7/10
    1 / -0.25

    Directions For Questions

    The fame of great men are (1)/ ought to be judged (2)/ always by the means (3)/ they used to acquired it. (4)
    Solutions

    The error is in the first part of the sentence. Note that, we should not use an auxiliary verb and a modal verb together in a sentence. In order to make the sentence correct, remove “are” from the first part of the sentence. ‘Ought’ is ‘used to indicate something that is probable’.

    Hence, option A is correct.

  • Question 8/10

    If you expect to finish (1)/ the work this morning (2)/ you had better to (3)/ dig in and get started. (4)
    Solutions

    The error is in the third part of the sentence. We use had better plus the bare infinitive to give strong advice about the present or future. When had is used to refer to present and future events, it is sometimes called the unreal past. So, preposition “to” should be removed from the third part of the sentence.

    Hence, option C is correct.

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0.25

    Directions For Questions

    Direction: Read the following 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. If the given sentence is correct as it is, mark the answer as ‘No error’. Ignore the errors of punctuation if any.

    Later the same day, (1)/ she wrote, “He did nothing (2)/ but to sit in his dark room (3)/ staring at nothing.” (4)
    Solutions

    The error is in the third part of the sentence. When “but” is used as a preposition in a sentence then it is followed by a bare infinitive. So “to” must be removed from the third part to make the sentence correct.

    Hence, option C is correct.

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0.25

    Directions For Questions

    Direction: Read the following sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence.

    The story of how he (1)/ arrived at this conclusion is (2)/ so fascinating that I dare (3)/ not to spoil it for you. (4)
    Solutions

    The error is in the fourth part of the sentence. “Need” and “dare” are two verbs which can act as modal verbs as well as auxiliary verbs. When we use “not” with them, they act as modal verbs. We cannot use preposition “to” with them. So, “to” should be removed from the fourth part.

    Hence, option D is correct.
