Directions (1-5): In the following questions, a sentence is divided into five parts with one of the parts highlighted in bold suggesting the grammatically correct part of the sentence. Out of the four other parts, choose the part of the sentence which contains grammatical or contextual error in it. If the given sentence is both grammatically correct and contextually meaningful, choose option (e) i.e., “No error” as your answer.

 

  1. Mr. Saxena told me that (A)/ though her son had worked (B)/ hard but he failed to make (C)/ any mark in the (D)/ last examination. (E)

 

(a) Mr. Saxena told me that
(b) though her son had worked
(c) hard but he failed to make
(d) any mark in the
(e) No error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. c

Exp. Part (C) of the sentence is incorrect.

‘yet’ will be used in place of ‘but’ as ‘yet’ is used after ‘although/ though’.

Ex. Although he is rich yet he is dishonest.

Although he is rich, he is dishonest. (If comma is used, ‘yet’ can be eliminated)

Hence option (c) is the correct choice.

 

  1. On reaching a large oak tree (A)/ that had not yet shed (B)/ its leaves, he stopped (C)/ and beckoned mysteriously (D)/ to them with his hand. (E)

 

(a) On reaching a large oak tree
(b) that had not yet shed
(c) and beckoned mysteriously
(d) to them with his hand.
(e) No error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. e

Exp. The sentence has no incorrect part in it. They are all grammatically correct.

Hence option (e) is the right choice.

 

  1. The bed has (A)/ been arranged (B)/ for the newly (C)/ born baby but it (D)/ has not been slept. (E)

 

(a) been arranged
(b) for the newly
(c) born baby but it
(d) has not been slept
(e) No error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. d

Exp. Phrase (D) is incorrect in the sentence.

‘on’ will be used after ‘slept’ as in the passive sentence having the form like ‘Subject+ Verb + preposition + object’, preposition is used with the verb.

Ex. (i) Nobody has slept on this bed (Active)

(ii) This bed has not been slept on (Passive)

Hence option (d) is the correct choice.

 

  1. The watchmen (A)/ who were on duty (B)/ in this area (C)/ were discovered (D)/ two drug addicts. (E)

 

(a) who were on duty
(b) in this area
(c) were discovered

(d) two drug addicts.
(e) No error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. d

Exp. Phrase (D) is wrong.

The use of ‘were’ is superfluous as ‘watchmen were discovered’ and ‘watchmen discovered’ have two different meanings.

In the sentence, the watchmen discovered two drug addicts while the error in the sentence tells that watchmen were discovered.

Hence option (d) is the correct choice.

 

  1. After a big fight (A)/ broken out at the (B)/nightclub, the (C)/ police closed the (D)/ joint for a few days. (E)

 

(a) After a big fight
(b) broken out at the
(c) police closed the
(d) joint for a few days
(e) No error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b

Exp. Phrase (B) has error in it.

‘broken out’ should be replaced by ‘broke out’.

‘broken out’ is the wrong usage as it is an adjective and adjective cannot come after the subject of the sentence (Big fight) whereas ‘broke out’ is a verb that can come after the subject.

Broke out is a phrasal verb which means if something such as war, fighting, or disease breaks out, it begins suddenly.

Hence option (b) is the most suitable option.

 

Direction (6-10): In each of the questions given below a sentence is given with two blanks. The sentence is then followed by five options. One of the pairs of words will fit the given blanks and make it both grammatically and contextually correct.
