|
Answer» Correct option - 3 Here, concept of INDIRECT SPEECH is brought under consideration. Since, indirect speech converts interrogative sentences into affirmative. Thus, following form is followed - sub + verb + REST of the sentence. It means verb does/did will come after he. Hence, options 1 & 5 are eliminated. Now, when an indirect speech has relative pronoun(wh-word) in it, conjunction 'that, if or WHETHER' are not used in the sentence. Hence, option 2 is eliminated. Since, the sentence has past verb was, so similar tense to to be followed throughout the sentence. Hence, tells should be replaced with told. So, option 4 is eliminated. Hence, option 3 is the correct answer. |

1). Will be working2). Has been working3). Worked4). Will work |
|
Answer» The APPROPRIATE fit for the blank is ‘will have been working’ which is in the future perfect tense. The future perfect tense indicates that an action will have been COMPLETED (finished or "perfected") at some point in the future.

1). Only C2). Only A3). AC4). AB |
|
Answer» The error lies in parts A and C. The verb 'adds' in singular FORM is incorrect and must be replaced with 'add' as with 'can' we always use the verb in plural form. 'Delta, with the acquisition, can add more'.$ The verb 'bolsters' $in singular form is incorrect and must be replaced with 'BOLSTER' as with 'can' we always use the verb in plural form. The verb here is actually a continuation after 'can' thus should read as:'brought about by the global trade war, bolster'$ Thus option 3 is the CORRECT answer.$ Correct sentence:$ Delta, with the acquisition, can add more manufacturing bases, REDUCE risks brought about by the global trade war, bolster its sales $NETWORK and get closer to its customers. |

Which of the following is not captured in rankings?1). The out-of-the process issues related to the daily running of a business2). A whole range of aspects required the entrepreneurs.3). Input costs, demand factors and infrastructure issues.4). All of the above |
|
Answer» The correct answer is option 4, i.e. all of the above. $ As mentioned in the passage, all of these are not captured in rankings. $ The excerpt in which the answer can be found is: $ But we must recognise that there is much that this ranking does not capture. First, they do not capture the out-of-the process issues related to the daily running of a business, the various investigations conducted by the revenue department, or company LAW matters, or labour-related issues, or, for that matter, the various demands of the inspectors of quality and processes. Second, the reality of business in India requires the ENTREPRENEUR to focus on a whole range of aspects not covered adequately in such ratings. Third, input COSTS, demand factors and infrastructure issues are another class of factors that ease of doing business does not intend to capture. While that enables it to retain its focus, these are important factors that impact both global and domestic INVESTMENT. |

Answer» When we read the given statements, we get a fair idea of the context being conveyed. Then, we need to form a single compound sentence which is grammatically CORRECT conveying a similar meaning. Let us check the options one by one. Option 1 : This seems to be SENSIBLE and grammatically correct. The context has not been distorted and the use of conjunction despite has been used correctly to introduce the fact which MAKES the other part of the sentence unexpected and unusual. Option 2 : The flow of the sentence is bumpy – there is no smooth logical connections between the parts and the use of yet is incorrect. Instead, ‘there were repeated reminders and yet (still) they did not receive a response’ makes more sense. So, this option is eliminated. Option 3 :The last part of the sentence is grammatically incorrect as the correct conjunction is despite and not despite of. We do not use of after despite. As a matter of fact, despite is same as in spite of. So, this option is eliminated. Option 4 : The conjunction although is used to provide contradiction or contrast. The word has not been PROPERLY placed in the sentence because of which, the meaning gets twisted. In fact, ‘The investigators sent a questionnaire to Citibank India and asked for details on the nature of non-compliance; Althoughthere were repeated reminders, they did not receive a response’ could have been correct. Thus, the correct answer is option 1. |

|
Answer» The given sentence has one error, which lies in part A. The part A uses the FORM 'may had have', which is grammatically incorrect. The correct form should be 'may have had'. The auxiliary verb 'have', when used with verbs like 'may, can, would' ETC. is always used in its REGULAR form, VIZ, 'have'. So, the errorless COMBINATION is BCD. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. |
|

1). Only A2). Both A and B3). Only B4). Both B and C |
|
Answer» The ARTICLE 'a' cannot precede the word 'hour' as THOUGH it starts with a consonant 'h' it is silent and hence the article 'an' which comes before VOWELS (like o) should precede it. But 'Hour' here is a definite noun as it INDICATES the particular time span for which the farmer works and hence the definite article 'the' should precede it. This MAKES option A the correct replacement making option 1 the correct answer. |

Answer» Correct answer - 2 Firstly, there are certain verbs which take fixed preposition after them. In that CASE, verb 'accuse' takes 'of' with it. HENCE, replace for with of in B part. Now, words EXPRESSING numeric VALUES, like RUPEES, distance, water, etc. are not considered as plural nouns. So replace millions with million in C part. So, option 2 i.e. B-C is the most appropriate answer. Correct sentence - The UK-based data-mining firm Cambridge Analytica has been accused of lifting the Facebook profiles of more than 50 million users without their permission in order to manipulate elections. |

Answer» In the given SENTENCES, the sentence REFERS to a specific time in the past, viz, 'at that time'. So, the corresponding tense MUST also reflect this.

1). AB2). AC3). BC4). BD |
|
Answer» In part A, the verb couldn't (could not) is incorrectly used as it is apparent from the sentence that it is in the present form while couldn't is used for referring to the PAST. The correct verb should be can't (or cannot). In part C, the word 'processes' needs to be replaced with 'PROCESS', SINCE only one kind of process is being talked about i.e. CGI. Part B and D are correct. Option 2 is the correct answer. |

1). Both A and C2). Both A and B3). Only C4). All of the above |

Answer» The correct answer is option 2, i.e. Both A and B. ‘Shall been’ is grammatically incorrect and must be corrected. The given STATEMENT looks like a suggestion by RBI. Hence, both A and B are correct. Hence, the sentence can be correctly written as- The RBI has said that any entity regulated by it like banks shall be barred from providing services to any individual or business dealing in BITCOIN and other CRYPTOCURRENCIES. The RBI has said that any entity regulated by it like banks should be barred from providing services to any individual or business dealing in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. |

1). BC2). AD3). CD4). AB |
|
Answer» The correct answer is option 1. There is the usage of an INCORRECT PREPOSITION in part B. In the place of 'disappointed in' the correct preposition will be disappointed with. Further, in part C, it is CLEAR that the SENTENCE wishes to talk about the company's newest product. Thus late should be rectified with latest. Thus PARTS B and C are incorrect. |
|

1). Only I2). Both I and III3). Both II and III4). Only III |
|
Answer» The only error is in the SECOND part. Option 5) Only II is the correct answer. II: You're a member of a team/parliament/society etc., not in it. Note that the change MADE in part I is incorrect. Whether represents a choice. This is not the case given in the statement => whether can't be used. Correct SENTENCE: If Al Jazeera is to be believed, spot fixing is alive and well. Sting operations in CRICKET have unearthed skulduggery before, as when members of the Pakistan team were revealed to have indulged in spot fixing on a tour of England. $ |

1). Both B and C2). Both A and C3). Only A4). Only C |
|
Answer» The sentence just says 'plenty of it' which MEANS 'a LOT of it.' So the SPEAKER will not complain about the color if he gets a lot of it. We can replace it with 'ENOUGH of it.' This too means the same. Because when we say 'enough' it means 'up to one's CONTENT.' Correct sentence: If they give me enough of it I'll not complain about its color. |
|

1). A and B2). B and C3). B and D4). B and F |
|
Answer» The correct ANSWER is 4. The blank is followed by the CONJUNCTION ‘and’ and the word is ‘extravagant’. This means that a word that has a similar meaning to ‘extravagant’ must be used. Extravagant means excessive or ELABORATE. Both ‘lurid’ and ‘melodramatic’ are the synonyms of the word ‘extravagant’. Let us look at the meanings of the other words. Vivacious- lively Blith- uncaring Prolific- productive Amicable- FRIENDLY |
|

1). Only A2). AC3). AD4). Only D |
|
Answer» The error lies in part A and D. The word 'beside' means 'adjacent to' which is erroneous here and must be REPLACED with 'besides' which means 'in ADDITION to.' The error in part D is the preposition 'to' and must be replaced with 'in'. It means 'a consequence of something.' Thus option 3 is the correct answer. Correct sentence: Besides the WORLD climate change, the rapid development $of economy in the past 30 years resulted in deterioration of air QUALITY.$ |
|
| 25. |
1). Only A2). Only C3). Both B and C4). All of the above |
|
Answer» The correct answer is option 1, i.e. Only A. From the given STATEMENT we can easily CONCLUDE that the article ‘an’ is grammatically INCORRECT and must be replaced with ‘a’.

1). ACD2). BCD3). ABC4). ABD |
|
Answer» The given SENTENCE has one error, which lies in part A. The part A uses the present perfect tense verb 'has lost', which is incorrect here. Since the sentence uses TEH past tense verb 'advised', the first verb MUST also be in its past perfect tense form, viz, 'had lost'. So, the errorless combination is BCD. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. |
|
| 27. |
1). Only A2). AB3). ABC4). BCD |
|
Answer» The error in B is the word 'topic' in singular form. The word 'different' has been used thus the noun MUST be in plural form. The error in C is the verb 'hears' which does not go with plural subject. The pronoun used here is 'they' thus the verb should be 'hear.' The error in D is the word 'today' which MEANS 'the current day.' The WORDS here should be 'to day' to COMPLETE the phrase 'day to day' which means 'daily.' Thus option 1 is the correct answer. |
|

1). A, B and C2). Only A3). Only B4). Only C |
|
Answer» It appears that the verb COMMENT should be in the to-infinitive form. So, we can consider adding the word to. Verbs that are commonly followed by the to-infinitive commonly describe ways of thinking, feeling, or saying (such as decide, prefer, and request). Also, the USAGE of the PREPOSITION ‘for’ is incorrect. The correct preposition to be used is ‘on’. So, ‘DECLINED to comment on future operations’ is the correct ANSWER. |
|

1). ACD2). BCD3). ABD4). Any other combination |
|
Answer» The error is in part A of the SENTENCE. We should write ''I was ASTONISHED.'' Being IMPLIES 'that it is HAPPENING now, or was happening before, in a continual manner.' But here we are talking about PAST only. $ That event is not continuous. Correct Sentence: I was astonished when I heard that my cousin Renu had left the country without informing anyone of us. Not even her parents. |

|
Answer» ‘Walk-in interview’ is a phrase which we use to indicate an interview without any prior appointment. The other options, ‘on’, ‘for’, ‘from’ and ‘AWAY’ do not MAKE any meaningful WORDS if put in between the words walk and interview. Hence, the CORRECT ANSWER is 4. |
|
| 32. |
1). If you 2). Will work hard3). You will top4). The exam |
|
Answer» Correct option- 2 Here, concept of conditional sentences is brought under consideration. When two phrases are connected with WORDS like if, as, when ETC., then it does not follow any modal with the phrase having such conditional words. Hence, REMOVE modal will before WORK hard. Note:- Two modals are never used in a SENTENCE. Correct sentence:- If you work hard, you will top the exam. |

Answer» The sentence uses the form is to MEASURED$, which is incorrect and needs improvement. It can be SEEN that all of the given ALTERNATIVES can make the sentence meaningful.

1). Held their first meeting2). Held in its first meeting3). Held on to first meeting4). Held its first meeting |
|
Answer» The correct TENSE here is simple past as the sentence talks about an incident of the past.(LAST WEEK). Thus 'held' is the correct verb here. The word 'their' is incorrect as the committee is TAKEN as a singular noun. 'Its' is therefore the correct word. Thus option 4 is the correct ANSWER. The other options are incorrect. It should read as: The committee of secretaries held its first meeting last week but we do not have any news yet.$ |
|

1). Only i2). Only ii3). Only iii4). Both ii and iii |
| Answer» The CORRECT way of connecting this sentence WOULD be ''The museum was very interesting as I EXPECTED.'' Option 2 can't ACT as a connector. It is grammatically wrong, and if we use ''because'' it would mean ''the museum is good DUE to the reason that I expected it.''This is wrong. So option 3 is correct. | |

Forty thousand troops have been deployed to ensure the safety of citizens.4). Forty thousand troops been deployed to ensure the safety of citizens. |
|

1). BC2). AB3). BD4). AD |
|
Answer» The given sentence is in the present tense. In part A of the sentence, the article 'a' has been incorrectly used here as the FIRST letter of the word 'international' is 'i', which is a vowel. So instead, it should be 'an'. In part D of the sentence, the preposition 'about' has been incorrectly used as the sentence hints that the United Nations intended to protect the RIGHTS and DIGNITY of PERSONS with disabilities. Here the word 'protect' is a verb and it is doing something to the rights and dignity 'of' the persons with disabilities, not something 'about' it. So instead, it should be replaced with 'of'. Hence, the error lies in the A & D parts of the sentence and the fourth option will be the correct answer in this regard. |
|

Select the most appropriate option, out of the five options given for each of the following sentences, which in your view, should be grammatically and structurally correct.

|
Answer» Correct option - 5 When, a COMPARISON is being done with CHARACTERISTICS of two different areas. Then, any is used. Whereas, comparison done between characteristics of same area. Then, any other is used. Since, 'Delhi' and 'city of England' are cities of two different countries. Hence, options 1, 2 & 4 are eliminated. If 'city' is mentioned in the sentence, then it is not needed to USE 'that'. Hence, option 3 is eliminated. Hence, option 5 is the correct ANSWER. |

1). Both B and C2). Only B3). Only C4). Only A |
|
Answer» The TENSE of ‘take’ is incorrect in the context of the SENTENCE. The sentence is in passive voice and THUS, the tense should be past participle. The past participle of ‘take’ is ‘TAKEN’. So, ‘care has been taken’ is correct. |
|
| 42. |
1). II and III2). I and III3). Only II4). Only I |
|
Answer» The SENTENCES suggest that the second SENTENCE is a direct result of the first. The perfect participle phrase 'having + past participle form of the verb' can be used here. It shows a completed action and joins the two sentences. This is shown by II. So, a contextually coherent joined sentence is given by Only II. None of the other phrase/s can make the sentence meaningful. Therefore, the CORRECT answer is OPTION 3. |
|
| 43. |
1). A-F2). C-D3). B-E4). A-F and C-D |
|
Answer» Only phrases B and E combine to form grammatically and contextually correct sentence. A-F and C-D form contextually correct sentences, but the errors in phrases A and C make the sentences grammatically incorrect. A-F :- The phrase ‘at odds’ means ‘in conflict or at VARIANCE’. This perfectly FITS with the context. Thus, ‘of’ must be replaced with ‘at’ in phrase A. B-E :- Phrases B and E lists the problems the country is facing presently. Thus, both form connection with each other. They form a meaningful sentence when joined together. C-D :- ‘did not’ take first form of verb with it. Thus, ‘TALKED’ in phrase C must be replaced with ‘TALK’. Hence, option 3 is the correct answer. |
|
| 44. |

So, C-D$ Out of these, only C-D$ is expressed in the given options. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. |

Senior promotions are normally announced including which prominent executives in the organisation will be reporting to the individual and in this case, there is no such information in the media reports. |
|
Answer» ?The sentences should be read CAREFULLY in order to grasp the meaning being conveyed. Then a compound sentence should be formed using conjunctions and punctuations such that the meaning remains intact. Options 1 and 4 are not correct as these have misplaced the word normally. ‘SENIOR promotions are normally announced’ is not the fact being conveyed. ‘Such announcement normally includes the LIST of prominent executives reporting to the individual’ is what the sentences convey. This subtle difference is enough to eliminate the options. Option 3 is incorrect because the use of hence is done to say ‘for this reason’. But, the part of the sentence after hence contrasts the remaining part and is not the consequence of something. Option 2 seems logically sound. The conjunction however highlights the contrast appropriately. Also, the use of commas is GRAMMATICALLY correct. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. |
|

1). Strengthens2). Will be strengthening3). Had strengthened4). Strengthened |
|
Answer» The sentence structure is in PRESENT tense and HENCE the appropriate word for the blank is ‘strengthens’. The REST of the options are cancelled as the tenses are wrong. Hence the correct answer is OPTION 1. |
