Directions (1-5): There are three sentences given in the following question. Find the

sentence(s) which is/are grammatically incorrect and contextually meaningless and then mark your answer choosing the best possible alternative among the five options given below each question. If all sentences are incorrect, choose option (e) i.e., “none is correct” as your answer.

[I] The global economy is likely to expand at its fastest pace since 2011, according to new estimates from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

[II] Private sector debt has doubled in the last decade in emerging markets.

[III] The global economy has added more debt recovering from the 2008 financial crisis, which was essentially caused by higher leverage.

(a)Only (I)

(b)Only (III)

(c)Both (II) and (III)

(d)Both (I) and (III)

(e) None is correct

Answer & Explanation

Ans. b

Exp. Among the given sentences only sentence (III) contains a grammatical error in it. To make the sentence grammatically correct replace ‘recovering’ with ‘to recover’ as if the main verb has an object [The global economy] that is a noun or a pronoun, it is almost always followed by an infinitive verb instead of a gerund. Therefore, option (b) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

[I] Monisha was about to tell her teacher the truth when her friend interrupted her.

[II] No method of making other people agree to your viewpoint is as effective as this method.

[III] The laboratory of physics is not only equipped with all state of the art instruments but also with outstanding physicists.

(a)Only (I)

(b)Only (III)

(c)Both (II) and (III)

(d)Both (I) and (III)

(e) None is correct

Answer & Explanation

Ans. c

Exp. Both the sentences (II) and (III) are grammatically incorrect.

In sentence [II] the expression “No method” should be replaced by “No other method” to make the

sentence grammatically correct. It is to be noted that to express a comparison between one method with the other methods the correct phrase that should provide the precise contextual meaning to the sentence is “no other method”. Moreover, in sentence [III] replace “not only equipped with” with “equipped not only with” as “not only…but also” is used to connect two prepositional phrases [with all state of the art instruments] and [with outstanding physicists]. Hence option (c) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

[I] Strengthening the capacity of the police force to investigate crimes and prosecute the guilty is one of those complex challenges that get neglected.

[II] The importance of this decision reside in the fact that it relates to people across the country.

[III] The more we deviate from simplicity, greater is the difficulty to get back to the short and straightforward route.

(a)Only (II)

(b)Only (I)

(c)Both (II) and (III)

(d)Both (I) and (III)

(e) None is correct

Answer & Explanation

Ans. a

Exp. Sentence [I] and [III] are absolutely correct and do not require any corrections. However, sentence [II] contains a grammatical error. Thus, to make the sentence grammatically correct replace the verb “reside” with “resides” as the subject [this decision] of the verb is singular therefore to comply with the rule of subject-verb agreement the verb of the subject should also be in its singular form. Hence, option (a) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

[I] Finding that, in spite of his orders, the firing the front continued increasing in intensity, Steinmetz at length rode to the front himself.

[II] Whether it is the beauty of sound, colour or rhythm, it is indeed a manifestation of divinity.

[III] I am sure that all my monthly expenses would exceed the income if I don’t economize.

(a)Only (II)

(b)Only (I)

(c)Both (II) and (III)

(d)Both (I) and (III)

(e) None is correct

Answer & Explanation

Ans. d

Exp. Sentence (I) and (III) are grammatically incorrect. In sentence (I), the preposition ‘at’ should be added after the verb firing to make the sentence contextually correct. Moreover, sentences (III) can be corrected with the omission of “all” as it is superfluous in the sentence; ‘monthly expense’ itself means all the kinds of expenses in the month. Hence, option (d) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

[I] I don’t know how many times he came to you and talked to you over this problem.

[II] Our country need a number of self-sacrificing and devoted political leaders.

[III] Namami Gange lays much emphasis on pollution abatement through improvement of sewage infrastructure.

(a)Only (II)

(b)Only (I)

(c)Both (I) and (II)

(d)Both (I) and (III)

(e) None is correct

Answer & Explanation

Ans. a

Exp. Among all the given sentences, sentence (II) does not follow the correct grammatical syntax of the sentence. Thus, to make the sentence grammatically correct replace the verb “need” with “needs” as the subject [our country] of the verb is singular therefore to comply with the rule of subject-verb agreement the verb of the subject should also be in its singular form [needs]. Hence, option (a) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

Directions (6-5): The following question consists of a sentence which is divided into five parts which contain grammatical errors in one or more than one parts of the sentence. The portions specified in bold suggest that they are grammatically correct and do not require any correction or replacement. If there is an error in any rest parts of the sentence, find the correct alternatives to replace those parts from the three options given below each question to make the sentence grammatically correct. If the given sentence is grammatically correct or does not require any correction, choose (e), i.e., “No correction required” as your answer.

The recent decision of the J and K government(I)/to condone stone throwers, many of whom were habitual offenders, (II)/while charging army personnel who were victims of stone throwing (III)/and opened fire in self-defence in an FIR(IV)/was the latest confused news emanates from the valley. (V)

(II)condoned stone throwers, many of who were habitual offenders

(III)but charging army personnel were victims of stone throwing

(V)is the latest confused news emanating from the valley

(a)Only (III)

(b)Only (V)

(c)Both (II) and (III)

(d)All (II), (III) and (V)

(e)No correction required

Answer & Explanation

Ans. b

Exp. Apart from the first and the fourth parts of the sentence, the second and the third parts of the sentence are also correct. These two parts do not require any correction as they are in the context of the correct grammar structure and thus following the syntax and adding proper meaning to the sentence. However, in the fifth part of the sentence, the expression “was the latest confused news emanates from the valley” should be replaced by “is the latest confused news emanating from the valley” to make the sentence grammatically and meaningfully feasible. The phrase “latest confused news” indicates that the expression would take the present form of the verb. Moreover, in terms of the sentence structure, the word “emanating” is the correct usage instead of “emanates”. Hence option (b) is the correct choice.

The desires for political stability (I)/has become important(II)/precisely because of the perpetual political instability(III)/that Nepal has undergoing (IV)/from more than half a century. (V)

(I)The desire for political stability

(IV)that Nepal has been undergoing

(V)for more than half a century

(a)Only (I)

(b)Both (I) and (IV)

(c)Both (I) and (V)

(d)All (I), (IV) and (V)

(e)No correction required

Answer & Explanation

Ans. d

Exp. All the three parts of the sentence require the correction. In the first part, the word “desires” should be replaced by its singular “desire” as the singular verb “has” in the next part indicates that the subject it is referring to should be in the same form. In the fourth part, the verb “has undergoing” is incorrect which should be replaced by “has been undergoing” to make the sentence grammatically coherent. In the fifth part, the word “from” should be replaced by “for” as We use “For” when we measure the duration-when we say how long something lasts. Hence option (d) is the correct choice.

Political stability also depends (I)/on the state of mind of the people(II)/residing in a certain geographical location, (III)/and its capacity to resist (IV)/various internal and external shocks. (V)

(I)Political stability also depend

(III)who resides in a certain geographical location

(IV)and their capacity to resist

(a)Only (I)

(b)Only (IV)

(c)Both (I) and (III)

(d)Both (III) and (IV)

(e)No correction required

Answer & Explanation

Ans. b

Exp. Apart from the second and the fifth parts of the sentence, the first and the third parts of the sentence are also correct and they follow the correct grammar structure adding meaning to the sentence. Thus, they do not require any correction or replacement. However, in the case of the fourth part of the sentence, there is a minor error of determiner; the singular determiner “its” should be replaced by its plural “their” as the subject they are referring is in the plural form [people]. Hence option (b) is the correct choice.

(I)The endless chattering on GDP growth

(d)All (I), (II) and (III)

(IV)on Vietnam would have possible short

(a)Only (II)

(b)Only (IV)

(c)Both (II) and (III)

(d)All (II), (III) and (IV)

(e)No correction required

Answer & Explanation

Ans. c

Exp. There are errors in both the second and the third parts of the sentence which can be rectified by replacing them by the given expressions. The expression, “in Tet distract us” should be replaced by “at Tet distracts us” as the subject is in singular form [The myth]; it should be followed by the singular verb “distracts”. Similarly, in the case of the part (III), the word “where” should be replaced by “that” to make the sentence grammatically viable. The other parts of the sentence are grammatically correct and do not require any correction. Hence option (c) is the correct choice.
