(a) Only (I) is correct

(b) Only (II) is correct

(d) Both (I) and (III) are correct

(e) No correction required

Answer & Explanation

Ans. d

Exp. Only first and the third expression can be used to replace the phrase given in bold so as to make the sentence grammatically correct and comprehensible. If the sentence is in future tense the main clause of the sentence which is “all these evil things will happen to you” should consist the verb “will”. However, the subordinate clause of the sentence which is “If you will disobey the Lord” containing the grammatical error as when two events of future are described in a single sentence only the main clause shall be in future tense, while the subordinate clause shall be in simple present tense. Hence, option (d) is the correct choice.

[II] be entrust not with

[III] not be entrust with

(a) Only (I) is correct

(b) Only (II) is correct

(d) All are correct

(e) No correction required

Answer & Explanation

Ans. a

Exp. The correct phrase to make the sentence grammatically correct is “not to be entrusted with”. It should be noted that in the given sentence before “not entrusted” “should” has been mentioned. If a sentence is in active voice, the first form of verb (V1) is used after “should”. However, if a sentence is in the passive voice, after “should” be+V3 (third form of verb) is used to make the sentence grammatically correct. Here, the sentence is in the passive voice therefore the appropriate grammatical syntax required is “be+V3” form. Thus, the correct answer choice is option (a).

[I] could be increased by

[II] might be increased by

[III] were increased by

(a) Only (I) is correct

(b) Only (II) is correct

(d) All are correct

(e) No correction required

Answer & Explanation

Ans. d

Exp. All three expressions can be used to substitute the phrase given in bold. It is to be noted that the phrase given in bold comprise of an error of subject verb agreement. As the subject “transportation fees” is in plural form the verb associated to it should also be plural i.e., instead of “was”, “were” should be used. In addition to “were increased by” other two expressions also make the sentence grammatically correct. Hence, option (d) is the correct choice.

[II] I do not understand is

[III] is I don’t understand

(a) Only (I) is correct

(b) Only (II) is correct

(d) All are correct

(e) No correction required

Answer & Explanation

Ans. b

Exp. Read the sentence carefully, it can be well verified that the given sentence is grammatically incorrect

as there is an error in the highlighted part of the sentence which needs to be replaced by a correct and

meaningful expression. Among the given three expressions only second expression provides the correct contextual and grammatical meaning to the sentence. “is I don’t understand is” should be replaced with “I don’t understand is” because the verb for “what” here is “understand” and the “is” present after “understand” is auxiliary verb. Therefore, the “is” present after “what” is superfluous and thus creating an error in the syntax of the sentence. Hence, option (b) is the correct choice.

(d) All are correct

(e) No correction required

Answer & Explanation

Ans. e

Exp. The given phrase in bold is already correct and doesn’t require any further corrections. The phrase perfectly fits into the grammatical syntax of the sentence. However, all the given expressions fail to make the sentence correct. Therefore, option (e) is the most suitable choice.
