1). The Mumbai police have found2). who they believe to be3). the prime suspect in a murder case.4). No error. |
|
Answer» There has been an incorrect use of verb in the sentence. The action of ‘believing’ PRECEDED the action of ‘finding the body’. Thus, the verb ‘believe’ should be in the past tense and must be ‘believed’. Thus the error is in the second part. Students might get confused with the use of the PRONOUN ‘who’ and ERRONEOUSLY SAY that the correction has to be by using the pronoun ‘whom’. However, it must be noted that ‘whom’ is used to denote the object of the verb. Here, though, the man is the object of the verb, ‘who’ is being used as the part of a relative clause describing the man. Hence it has been correctly used. |

Answer» Part B of the sentence CONTAINS error. ‘its’ must be replaced with ‘it’. ‘its’ is a ‘determiner’ which DENOTES ‘association with a previously mentioned thing’, while ‘it’ is a ‘pronoun’ which ‘refers to a thing already mentioned’. In the given sentence, since seats contested by BJP are under consideration, therefore ‘it’ must be used as BJP is being referred to. Correct sentence- ‘In the 2009 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP won just ONE of the 141 seats it contested in these five states.’ |

Thus, the correct sentence is: Varanasi is about 7 hours from Patna. |

Leadership is the key to any country (1)/ to effectively combating (2)/ the scourge of terrorism. (3)/ No Error (4)1). 12). 23). 34). 4 |

Answer» ‘For’ is used to indicate the use of something, time or duration or used to MEAN ‘because of’. On the other hand, ‘to’ is used to indicate the place, person or thing that SOMEONE or something moves towards or a relationship or a time period. Hence the correct word to be used here must be ‘for’. ANOTHER way to correct this sentence would be to change the form of the verb ‘combating’ to ‘combat’ so that the sentence reads ‘…. To effectively combat’. In any CASE, error is in the third part. |
