Directions (1-5): Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is ‘No error’, the answer is (e). (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.)

Vijay worked very (a)/ hard so that he (b)/ might not keep the others (c)/ wait too long. (d)/ No error. (e)

(a) A

(b) B

(d) D

(e) E

Answer & Explanation

Ans. d

Exp. Replace ‘wait’ by ‘waiting’ as Gerund (Verb+ ing) is used after ‘keep, mind, can’t help’.

Example. Will you mind my coming late?

They can’t help laughing at him when they see him.

(Note: A Gerund is a verb form which functions as a noun and it ends in ‘ing’)

The Short boy (a)/ has seven rupees (b)/ and the fat boy (c)/ has only a rupee. (d)/ No error. (e)

(a) A

(b) B

(d) D

(e) E

Answer & Explanation

Ans. d

Exp. Use ‘one’ in place of ‘a’. ‘Seven rupees’ has been used in the sentence in which ‘seven’ is a numerical adjective therefore ‘one’ will be used with ‘rupee’, not ‘a’.

(Note: Adjective are the words use to describe the noun)

The teacher drew (a)/ an attention of the (b)/ boys to the importance (c)/ of regular practice. (d)/ No error. (e)

(a) A

(b) B

(d) D

(e) E

Answer & Explanation

Ans. b

Exp. ‘the attention’ will be used in place of ‘an attention’ as here ‘attention’ is certain. Remember that in the construction ‘Noun+ of+ Noun’, ‘the’ is used before ‘Noun’ which is before ‘of’.

Example. The attention of the boys. (attention and boys are noun)

The life of this man. (Life and man are noun)

(Note: Article ‘The’ is used to refer to specific or particular nouns whereas ‘a/ an’ is used to modify non- specific or non- particular noun.)

Whatever his intentions may be (a)/ he should consider them carefully (b)/ before he comes (c)/ to a decision. (d)/ No error. (e)

(a) A

(b) B

(d) D

(e) E

Answer & Explanation

Ans. e

Exp. The sentence is grammatically correct.

The Policemen started (a)/ firing the crowd (b)/ when the striking (c)/ workers became violent. (d)/ No error. (e)

(a) A

(b) B

(d) D

(e) E

Answer & Explanation

Ans. b

Exp. ‘at’ or ‘on’ will be used after ‘firing’ because ‘fire+ at/on + somebody/ something’ is the correct use.

Example. Raghu fired at/ on the tiger.

The Police started firing at/ on the crowd.

Answer & Explanation

Ans. d

Exp. (iii) ‘was prepared to’ will be used in place of ‘has prepared to’ as the given sentence is an indirect narration whose reporting verb ‘declared’ is in past tense and therefore the reported speech will also be in past tense.

(ii) Use ‘brought him’ in place of ‘brought with him’.

Bring, buy, give + Indirect Object + Direct Object.
