Directions (6-10): In the following questions, a part of the sentence is highlighted which is then followed by three expressions which may or may not replace the existing highlighted part. Choose the best alternative among the five options which does not derive the grammatically correct expression or does not fit into the sentence contextually.

  1. Employers have to realizethat mere paper qualification is no guarantee for successful job performance.

(b)Both (II) and (I)

(c)Both (II) and (III)

(d)Both (III) and (I)

(e) None of the three

Answer & Explanation
Ans. a

Exp. Among the given alternatives both (I) and (II) give the similar meaning without changing the given required meaning of the sentence.  Both the expressions are grammatically correct. However, third expression cannot be used in the sentence as the third option does not emphasize on “realization” which is the intended meaning of the bold part of the sentence and the option (I) and (II). Hence option (a) is the correct choice.

  1. During holidays, I like visiting friends than staying indoors.

(I) I like to visit friends than to stay indoors.

(II) I like visiting friends than to stay indoors.

(III) I like to visiting friends than staying indoors

(a) Both (II) and (I)

(b) Both (III) and (II)

(c) Both (III) and (I)

(d) only (I)

(e) None of the three

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b

Exp. Among the given alternatives only (I) is grammatically correct although meaning given by all of them is same. “than” is a conjunction of comparison and it should have same parts of speech on both the sides of it, if it is joining any sentence or comparing anything. Thus, either both sides of than should have a gerund “v+ing” or “an infinitive”. In part (II) one side of the “than” is gerund and other side have “infinitive” after it, which is incorrect. In option (III) “like” is a verb which takes either an “infinitive” after it or a “gerund” but here “to + visiting” have been used, it should be “to visit” and after “than” it should be “to stay” or in other way “to” can be taken off, by this way the sentence can be corrected as well.

  1. Having acquired some experience, she is no longer one of those who believe every explanation.

(I) she does not believe every explanation easily.

(II) she is not one of those who believes any explanation anymore.

(III) some people believe every explanation but this is not the case now for her.

(a) only (I)

(b) only (II)

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

(d) Both (I) and (III)

(e) None of the three.

Answer & Explanation
Ans. c

Exp. Among the given alternatives expression (I) is grammatically correct but the meaning is not same as of the bold part of the sentence. In expression (III), both the meaning and grammatical structure is correct but we can’t replace expression (III) with the bold part because in expression (III) subject is “some people” which cannot be the subject of “Having acquired some experience”. In Expression (II), the meaning of the sentence is same however grammatically it is incorrect as “those” is a plural pronoun which takes plural verb with it, thus “believe” should be used after the relative pronoun “who”. Thus none of the expressions is correct.

  1. The university has not spent enough money to maintain its valuable library.

(c)all of the three

Exp. Only (I) is correct others are contextually incorrect as because they are talking about the interest.

(II) he would rather die than to failing in the examination.

(a)both (I) and (II)

(b)both (II) and (III)

(c)both (III) and (I)

(d)only (I)

(e)none of the three

Answer & Explanation
Ans. d

Exp. among the given alternatives expression (ii) is grammatically correct but meaning is not same.

Expression (III) have the same meaning but grammatically it is incorrect because after “than” “to copy”
