Directions (1-5): In the following questions, a sentence is divided into five parts with last part of each sentence is 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.

Frederick found suitable clothing to (A)/ his guests and in turn, (B)/ they each retired to the (C)/one bedchamber of the (D)/ cottage to wash and change (E)

(a) Frederick found suitable clothing to

(b) his guests and in turn,

(d) cottage to wash and change

(e) no error

Answer & Explanation

Ans. a

Exp. The error lies in the first part i.e., part (A) of the sentence. It is to be noted that certain words require specific preposition. We seem to use “suitable for” when referring to a person or to an “ing” verb, and “suitable to” when referring to a thing or a “to” verb. Therefore, to make the sentence grammatically correct and contextually meaningful replace “to” with “for”. Hence, option (a) is the most suitable answer choice.

I started visiting schools (A)/ and talk to kids (B)/about bullying and (C)/ what to do and (D)/ how to deal with it (E)

(a) and talk to kids

(b) about bullying and

(d) how to deal with it

(e) no error

Answer & Explanation

Ans. a

Exp. The error lies in the second part of the sentence i.e., part (B). Replace ‘talk’ with ‘talking’ to make the syntax of the sentence grammatically correct. It is to be noted that in part (A) ‘visiting’ is a gerund while the other word in part (B) ‘talk’ is a bare infinitive i.e., infinitive without ‘to’. Moreover, a gerund and a bare infinitive cannot be joined using the conjunction ‘and’. If the first word is a gerund the other word to be connected using ‘and must be a gerund as well. Hence, option (a) is the most suitable answer choice.

Work with team members (A)/ to ensure timelines are realistic (B)/ and deliverables are scoped to (C)/ allow for confident delivery of the (D)/highest possible quality in the time allotted. (E)

(a) Work with team members

(b) to ensure timelines are realistic

(d) highest possible quality in the time allotted

(e) no error

Answer & Explanation

Ans. d

Exp. The error lies in the last part i.e., part (E) of the sentence, ‘in’ should be replaced with ‘within’ to provide the precise contextual meaning to the sentence. ‘In’ is specifically defined as being inside while ‘within’ implies being inside of a given set of parameters relative to the object it’s linking to and not actually inside of it. Therefore, option (d) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

A Rs 2,000 crore hike in (A)/ budgetary allocation to the (B)/ water resource ministry towards (C)/ revival of Ganga is a welcome move (D)/ by this year’s Union Budget. (E)

(a) A Rs 2,000 crore hike in

(b) budgetary allocation to the

(d) revival of Ganga is a welcome move

(e) no error

Answer & Explanation

Ans. e

Exp. The given sentence is grammatically correct and contextually meaningful and hence, does not require any corrections. Therefore, option (e) is the most suitable answer choice.

Ganesh and his (A)/ friend were (B)/ walking towards the (C)/ station when they (D)/ met his common friend. (E)

(a) Ganesh and his

(b) friend were

(d) met his common friend.

(e) no error

Answer & Explanation

Ans. d

Exp. The error lies in the last part i.e., part (D) of the sentence. To make the sentence grammatically correct and contextually meaningful replace ‘his’ with ‘their’. It is to be noted that the subject of the sentence [Ganesh and his friend] is plural therefore it’s possessive adjective should also be plural [their]. Hence, option (d) becomes the most suitable answer choice.
