    The government is determined to create a skill workforce capable of preparing the country for a fast-paced global economy.
    Solutions

    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect. 

    • Before the noun "workforce", we need an adjective. 

    • Thus, in place of the noun "skill", use "skilled". 

    • The use of the preposition "of" with the adjective "capable" is correct. 
    The correct sentence will be: The government is determined to create a skilled workforce capable of preparing the country for a fast-paced global economy.

    Hence, option A is the correct answer.

    Indirect questions will be used while seeking information about an embarrassing subject.

    Solutions

    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect.

    * We use the future tense to predict something that will happen in the future.

    * The given sentence talks about a general situation that happens with everyone.

    * Thus, we will use the simple present tense in the underlined part.

    * For the plural subject “indirect questions”, we will use the verb “are”, followed by V3.

    * After the conjunction “while”, we will use the gerund “seeking”.

    The correct sentence will be: Indirect questions are used while seeking information about an embarrassing subject.

    Hence, option D is the correct answer.

    Last Sunday I returning home late at night.

    Solutions
     The underlined part is grammatically incorrect.

    * The use of the time phrase “last Sunday”, we can conclude that the given sentence is of the simple past tense.

    * Thus, we will use the verb in the V2 form in the underlined part.

    * Replace “I returning home” with “I returned home”.

    The correct sentence will be: Last Sunday I returned home late at night.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.

    1 / -0.25

    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution required’.

    It was such a funny story that we cannot help laughed.

    Solutions
    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect.

    * The sentence is in the simple past tense (as suggested by the use of “was”).

    * Thus, the use of the modal “cannot” is erroneous. It should be replaced with “could not” (the past form).

    * Also, the phrase “cannot help something” is used for saying that someone cannot stop themselves doing something

    e.g. She couldn’t help laughing when she saw it.

    * Thus, after “help”, use the present participle “laughing”.

    The correct sentence will be: It was such a funny story that we couldn’t help laughing.

    Hence, option D is the correct answer.

  • Question 8/10
    1 / -0.25

    Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select ‘No improvement required’.

    My teacher said me that I would be famous one day.

    Solutions
    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect.

    * The verb “say” or “said” is followed by the preposition “to” and “object”.

    * In the underlined part, the preposition “to” is missing.

    * The use of “would” in the latter part of the sentence suggests that the given sentence is in the past tense.

    * Also, the part “I would be famous one day” is an assertive sentence. Thus, we will not use “asked” here.

    The correct sentence will be: My teacher told me that I would be famous one day.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.

  • Question 9/10
    1 / -0.25

    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined word in the given sentence.

    When you give away a secret or an advantage, you reveal a secret or suspension that you should have kept to yourself.

    Solutions
     Let’s first see the meanings of the given words:

    Suspension = the act of stopping something happening, operating, etc. for a period of time

    Information = facts about a situation, person, event, etc.

    Dereliction = (a) failure to do what you should do

    Revolution = a very important change in the way that people do things

    Benediction = a prayer asking God for help and protection for someone

    * In the context of the given sentence, “suspension” doesn’t fit here.

    * We can reveal a secret or “some information” only.

    * Thus, the underlined part will be replaced with “information”.

    Hence, option A is the correct answer.

  • Question 10/10
    1 / -0.25

    Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution required’.

    My brother and Raj are good friends. They are knowing each other for at least 10 years.

    Solutions
    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect part.

    * The part “for atleast 10 years” shows that the sentence is in the present perfect tense.

    * This tense represents an action or situation that started in the past and continues in the present.

    * With the plural subject “they”, we will use the plural auxiliary “have” followed by V3 (known).

    The correct sentence will be: My brother and Raj are good friends. They have known each other for at least 10 years.

    Hence, option C is the correct answer.
