Directions (1-5): The following questions consists of a sentence, whose certain parts are highlighted in bold. The highlighted portions are grammatically correct. Each sentence is followed by the three expressions which may or may not contain grammatical errors. Choose the most appropriate alternative among the five options which states the incorrect part(s) of the sentence. If the given sentence is grammatically correct and contextually meaningful, choose option (e) i.e., “No error” as your answer.

It is hard when you work in a city far away from family and friends, and home excursions is alwaysmuch awaited.

(I)It is hard when you work

(II)in a city far away from

(III)and home excursions is always

(a)Only (I)

(b)Only (III)

(c)Both (I) and (II)

(d)Both (II) and (III)

(e)No error

Answer & Explanation

Ans. b

Exp. There is a grammatical error in the third part of the sentence; there is an issue of subject-verb agreement. The verb “is” should be replaced by its plural “are” to make the sentence grammatically correct as the subject of the verb is plural [home excursions]. The other two parts are grammatically feasible. Hence option (b) is the correct choice.

The recently concluded ‘informal’ summit meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Wuhan is more about optics than substance.

(I) ‘informal’ summit meeting between

(II) Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Wuhan is

(III) than substance

(a)Only (I)

(b)Only (II)

(c)Both (I) and (II)

(d)Both (II) and (III)

(e)No error

Answer & Explanation

Ans. b

Exp. There is a grammatical error in the second part of the sentence. It is to be noted that the verb [concluded] in the highlighted part of the sentence indicates that the event [‘informal’ summit meeting] held in the past thus, the sentence should be in the past tense. Therefore, the helping verb in the second part of the sentence “is” should be replaced by “was” to make the sentence in accord with the appropriate grammatical syntax of the sentence. Hence, option (b) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

PM Modi had urged the people to be more conscious about preventive health care because not only prevention was beneficial for a person but also for his or her family and society.

(I) PM Modi had urged

(II) about preventive health care

(III) because not only prevention was beneficial

(a)Only (III)

(b)Only (II)

(c)Both (I) and (II)

(d)Both (II) and (III)

(e)No error

Answer & Explanation

Ans. a

Exp. Expression (I) and (II) are correct and do not require any correction. While expression (III) comprises, a grammatical error making the sentence incorrect. It is to be noted that “not only…but also” is a correlative conjunction which is used to connect two clauses. Moreover, while using not only . . . but also in a sentence, parallelism should be the goal. It means that the words following both parts of this correlative conjunction (i.e., not only and but also) should belong to the same parts of speech. Moreover, contextually the noun ‘prevention’ should have been used for both the clauses of “not only…but also”. Therefore, the correct phrase should have been […because prevention was not only beneficial for a person but also for his or her family and society]. Hence, option (a) is the correct choice.

The poor state of conservation of our monuments is that needs a major overhaul, and outsourcing without proper and right monitoring will not solve the problem.

(I) of our monuments is that needs

(II) and outsourcing without proper and right

(III) monitoring will not solve the problem

(a)Only (III)

(b)Only (II)

(c)Both (I) and (III)

(d)Both (I) and (II)

(e)No error

Answer & Explanation

Ans. d

Exp. Expression (I) and (II) do not comply with the grammatical syntax of the syntax. To make expression (I) correct replace the determiner “that” with the relative pronoun “what” as ‘that’ is used to refer a specific thing previously mentioned, known, or understood while; ‘what’ is used for the thing or things that are used in specifying something. Moreover, expression (II) contains a contextual error as the use of the adjectives “proper” and “right” together is redundant. Therefore, omitting ‘right’ from the sentence makes it coherent and grammatically viable. Hence, option (d) becomes the most feasible answer choice.

No sooner the summit ended than significant differences emerged on how India and China interpret even the understandings reached at Wuhan.

(I) No sooner the summit

(II) differences emerged on how

(III) the understandings reached at Wuhan

(a)Only (III)

(b)Only (I)

(c)Both (I) and (III)

(d)Both (I) and (II)

(e)No error

Answer & Explanation

Ans. b

Exp. The error lies in the first part of the sentence. To make the sentence in accord with the grammatical syntax of the sentence ‘had’ should be added after ‘no sooner’. It is to be noted that in all the cases where the sentence begins with ‘no sooner’, helping verb takes place before the subject of the sentence; Ex. No sooner had he reached the office than his friend arrived. Thus, the correct phrase of the sentence should be “No sooner had the summit”. Hence, option (b) becomes the most suitable answer choice.
