Directions (1-5): In each of the questions given below a sentence is divided into five parts. You must find the part which contains an error and then choose accordingly the sequence of correct parts (exclude the part which is grammatically and contextually incorrect). That sequence will be your answer. If there is no error in the sentence OR if all the given sequences contain the part in which there is an error then choose option (e) as your choice.

When I was a very little (A)/ child I used to sit (B)/ in my mother’s lap all the time, (C)/ because I was very timid, (D)/ and does not like to be left by myself. (E)

(a) ABCD

(b) BCDE

(d) ABCE

(e) None of these

Answer & Explanation

Ans. a

Exp. The error lies in part (E) of the sentence. To make the sentence grammatically correct, replace “does” with “did” in the erroneous part. It is to be noted that “used to” in part (B) is used to indicate a past activity of a person. Therefore, to maintain the sequence of tense in the sentence, “does” should be replaced with “did” which is the past form of ‘does’. Since all the other parts are correct, option (a) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

Walking so fastly that (A)/ it created a breeze that caught (B)/ the loose hair hanging down (C)/ her back, she turned her ankle (D)/ slipping off her sandals. (E)

(a) ABCD

(b) BCDE

(d) ABCE

(e) None of these

Answer & Explanation

Ans. b

Exp. The error lies in part (A) of the sentence. There is no need for “fastly” because “fast” is both an adjective and an adverb. The existence of “fast” as an adverb does not preclude the future development of a word “fastly”, but it does hinder it. Therefore, to make the sentence grammatically correct replace “fastly” with “fast”. Hence, option (b) is the most suitable answer choice.

It is perplexing and exasperating (A)/ that just at the moment when (B)/ you need your memory (C)/ and a nicely sense of discrimination, (D)/ these faculties take to themselves wings and fly away. (E)

(a) ABCD

(b) BCDE

(d) ABCE

(e) None of these

Answer & Explanation

Ans. d
Exp. The error lies in part (D) of the sentence. To make the sentence grammatically correct replace “nice” with “nicely”. Since the word required here is an adjective to describe the quality of “sense of discrimination”, therefore option (d) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

Could your MPs joined the protest (A)/ and submitted their resignations to the Speaker, (B)/ the Central government (C)/ would have given in to the (D)/ State’s demand for SCS by now. (E)

(a) ABCD

(b) ACDE

(d) ABDE

(e) None of these

Answer & Explanation

Ans. e

Exp. The error lies in part (A) of the sentence. To make the sentence grammatically correct replace “could” with “had” as the correct grammatical syntax of the conditional clause “had…would” is “had + subject + V3” while in main clause it is “Subject + would + have +V3”. Since, all the other parts are grammatically correct, option (e) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

Now he is hoping other people (A)/ will also take delight with (B)/ seeing historic photographs (C)/ of buildings which are long gone (D)/ but they have heard of or remember seeing. (E)

(a) ABCD

(b) ACDE

(d) ABDE

(e) None of these

Answer & Explanation

Ans. b

Exp. The error lies in part (B) of the sentence. To make the sentence grammatically correct replace, “with” by “in” as the phrase “takes delight” always take the preposition “in” to form a meaningful sentence. Since, all the other parts of the sentence is grammatically correct, option (b) becomes the most suitable answer choice.
