1.

1). see any gain2). saw gain3). see a gain4). saw any gain

Answer»

In English, we do not use double negatives. Here, 'cannot' and 'no' are two NEGATIVE WORDS. The sentence is in the present tense and 'saw' cannot be used. 'Saw a gain' will not MAKE the sentence meaningful.

So, the correct answer is 'see any gain'.

2.

1). That lasted of the2). The lasting of the3). The lasting until4). That lasted until the

Answer»

The word 'that' is needed in the sentence here as it refers to the close ties mentioned in the sentence before.The correct TENSE here is SIMPLE past as the time refers to the earlier days. Option 4 is thus the correct answer. The other options are not correct or do not fit here.

It should READ as:

The USSR’s close ties with Maoist China $that lasted until the LATE 1950s and the confrontation that followed,$helped shape the politics of the continent.$

3.

1). is teaching, himself since 2). would teach, himself for 3). teaches, himself for 4). will teach, himself since

Answer»

Correct option - 3

If we USE 'has been teaching', this needs a TIME expressing word for this particular clause. But, here, no time expressing word is mentioned. Hence, option 5 is eliminated.

Also, 'since' is used for a particular time. Here, 'a month' is given, this is a time-period. Hence, use for in PLACE of since. 

Thus, options 1 & 4 are eliminated. 

If we use 'would teach', it shows past TENSE. But 'nowadays' shows present tense. Hence, option 2 is eliminated.

Thus, option 3 i.e. TEACHES, himself for is the correct answer. 

4.

1).2). B-F and C-D3). A-D4). B-E and C-F

Answer»

A-F, B-D and C-E form contextually and grammatically correct sentences. But none of the options CONTAIN the correct pairing of the phrases.

A-F :- The WORD ‘chief justice’ in both the phrases suggests that they are interconnected. When JOINED together these phrases form a MEANINGFUL sentence.Phrase A does not form meaningful sentence with phrases D and E.

B-D :- The word ‘appointments’ in both the phrases suggests that they are interconnected. When joined together these phrases form a meaningful sentence.Phrase B does not form meaningful sentence with phrases E and F.

C-E :- The word ‘CJI’ in both the phrases suggests that they are interconnected. When joined together these phrases form a meaningful sentence.Phrase C does not form meaningful sentence with phrases D and F.

Hence, option 5 is the correct answer.

5.

1). Both A and D2). Only B3). Both B and D4). Only A

Answer»

The sentence uses the form would simplifies, which is incorrect and needs improvement.

Since the sentence uses the modal verb 'would', it is always USED with the SIMPLE present tense form of the verb, viz, 'would simplify', as shown by B.

Also, since the sentence uses the plural noun 'assumptions', teh corresponding verb here MUST also be plural 'simplify' or 'simplified'. This is GIVEN by D.

The only alternatives that improve the sentence are B and D.

None of the other alternatives can make the sentence meaningful.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

6.

1). A and B2). B and C3). A and D4). C and D

Answer»

The ERROR lies in PARTS A and D.

Part A uses the VERB 'bought', which is INCORRECT here, GIVEN the context. The correct verb here should be 'brought'.

Part D uses the progressive form 'regarding', which is incorrect. The correct form should be 'regarded'.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

7.

1). Both A and B 2). Both A and C3). Only B4). Only C

Answer»

In the sentence the SPEAKER is the one who US asking for forgiveness for asking a FOOLISH question.

So this can be easily replaced by only option C which exactly MEANS the same and so it is the correct answer.

Correct sentence:

And forgive me for the foolish question--but, are you all invisible?

8.

1). Both A and D2). Both C and A3). Only B4). Only C

Answer»

The underlined part of the SENTENCE is GRAMMATICALLY incorrect.

The verb 'used’ should be used instead of the ADJECTIVE 'usable’. Also the appropriate preposition is 'as’ which is used to refer to the function that the caricatures have in this sentence.

Hence the correct answer is OPTION 4.

9.

1). Only A2). Both A and B3). Only C4). Both B and C

Answer»

The sentence uses the form 'have a chance'.

It is grammatically incorrect and hence needs improvement.

Since government is a singular noun, we cannot use the verb 'have'. The sentence also refers to a future scenario of 'next ELECTION', in which case, we use a MODAL verb LIKE 'would' to SHOW a possibility.

So, A makes the sentence meaningful.

None of the other alternatives can improve the sentence.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.

10.

1). Can have been blind as2). Would been blind for3). Could been blind as4). Must have been blind as

Answer»

The verbs 'can', 'could' or 'would', all show a POSSIBILITY of SOMETHING occurring. But, the second sentence suggests a definite ACTIVITY, so the verb 'must' makes the most sense here, given the context.

Also, none of the sentences can form a grammatically CORRECT sentence, except option 4.

Therefore, the correct ANSWER is option 4.

11.

1). Has reserving2). Have reserved3). Has reserved4). Has been reserving

Answer»

‘Had reserving’ should be replaced with ‘has reserved’ as the sentence in present PERFECT tense.

Moreover, third FORM of verb is used in perfect tense with has/have. The court’s decision has HAPPENED In recent past but its consequences are still present ,that’s why present perfect tense has been used.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The court has reserved its decision on AJL’s plea challenging the center’s order to vacate its premises.

More SENTENCES on present perfect tense for better understanding;

1. She has completed her homework.

2. Megha and I have to go for grocery shopping.

12.

1). Only III2). Both II and III3). Only II4). Both I and II

Answer»

The error lies in the III part of the sentence.

The adjective 'prominent: prominent; FAMOUS’ should be replaced by the appropriate adverb 'prominently: with an important role; to a LARGE extent.’

Hence the correct answer is option 1.

Correct sentence:

Following Adolf Hitler's rise to power in 1933, the government passed LAWS to exclude Jews from civil society, most prominently the Nuremberg Laws in 1935.

13.

1). A and B2). C and D3). B and D4). A and D

Answer»

The ERROR lies in parts B and D.

Part B USES the singular form 'violation'. This is incorrect. As the pronoun 'these' suggests, it should be the plural 'violations'.

Part D uses the NOUN form 'force', which is incorrect. Given the context, it should be the verb form 'are forced'.

Therefore, the correct ANSWER is option 3.

14.

Answer»

Correct option - 4

Since, the STARTER of the sentence has past tense verb had. Hence, similar tense to be followed throughout the sentence. Hence, options 1 & 5 are eliminated. Now, word any is an adjective used before singular noun only. But men is a PLURAL noun. Thus, REPLACE men with man. Hence, option 2 is eliminated. Since, modal are not used twice in a sentence. Thus, option 3 is eliminated. Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.

16.

1). AB2). BC3). CD4). AD

Answer»

The given sentence is in the present tense.

In part C of the sentence, the verb 'keeping' has been incorrectly used because as the sentence indicates, a possible solution REGARDING the vacancy in services with physical training has been given. This means that it is a 'direction' that should be 'followed' and so, it will not be in the present tense. Instead, it will be 'kept'.

In part D of the sentence, the preposition 'at' has been incorrectly used because 'seniority' is a noun and not a place and 'protection' is a verb, which means that here the protection 'of' seniority is being talked about. So instead, it will be 'of'.

Hence, the error lies in the C & D PARTS of the sentence and the third OPTION will be the correct ANSWER in this REGARD.

17.

1). The father wanted to create a balance environment in the household.2). Whenever he could visit theirs, he would come right down the hill.3). Would it have been different he hadn't come back home?4). As soon as the train stopped he lunged at the platform.

Answer»

Option 1 USES the NOUN 'balance', which is incorrect. As it is used before the noun 'environment', it should be the adjective form 'balanced'.

Option 2 incorrectly uses the pronoun 'theirs' (MEANING belonging to them) . The correct word here should be the determiner 'them' (meaning a group of people).

Option 3 is incorrect as it does not use any conjunction between the two sentences 'would it have been different' and 'he hadn't come back home'. There should be a conjunction like 'if'.

Option 5 'To being heard' is incorrect form. It should be 'to be heard'.

Option 4 is the only grammatically correct sentence.

Therefore, the correct ANSWER is option 4.

18.

1). A-F2). B-D and C-E3). A-F and B-D4). C-E

Answer»

A-F, B-D and C-E form contextually correct sentences. But the errors in phrases A, B and E MAKE the sentences GRAMMATICALLY incorrect.

A-F :- The word ‘LEAF’ is incorrect in phrase A. It must be replaced with ‘leaves’. ‘leaf’ is an organ of plant which combines with stem to form the shoot of the plant. ‘leaves’ is plural of ‘leaf’ and ALSO it is the first form of verb ‘leave’. ‘leaves’ here is used as the first form of verb ‘leave’, which means to ‘go away or exit’.

B-D :- The word ‘silence’ is incorrect in phrase B. It must be replaced with ‘salience’. ‘silence’ means ‘complete absence of sound’, whereas ‘salience’ means ‘prominence’. Here, ‘salience’ is the correct word.

C-E :- ‘have’ in phrase E must be replaced with ‘has’. The rule of ‘SUBJECT-verb agreement’ is violated here.The subject (‘inauguration of an exhibition’) is singular, therefore its corresponding verb must also be singular.

Hence, option 5 is the correct answer.

19.

1). To revoked work permits2). To revoke in work permits3). To revoke work permits4). To revoking from work permits

Answer»

The error in the phrase is the preposition 'from' as the word 'REVOKE' is not followed with any preposition. Thus option 3 is the correct answer.

It should read as:

The Trump administration has TOLD a federal court that its DECISION $to revoke work PERMITS to H-4 visa users, will have a major impact on Indian women.$

20.

1). If I had enough time, I have come to meet you at the station. 2). If I had been having enough time, I would have come to meet you at the station. 3). If I had enough time, I had come to meet you at the station. 4). If I had enough time, I would have come to meet you at the station.

Answer»

Correct option - 4

Here, concept of past unreal conditional SENTENCES is brought under consideration. That is if 'past of the past tense' is USED in the sentence with 'if clause', then 'without if clause' has would have V3.

That is, 

If + Sub 1 + had + V3 + Obj 2, Sub 2 + would + have +V3 + Obj 2.

Hence, option 4 is the correct ANSWER.

21.

1). Only I2). I and II3). II and III4). I, II and III

Answer»

The context of the sentence SUGGESTS that the first word should mean 'put in place' by the authorities.

To instillgradually but FIRMLY establish something, whereas Imposed means put (a restriction) in place.$

In TERMS of a Curfew, 'imposed' is a better fit than 'gradually INSTILLED'.$

So, I is REQUIRED.$

Skirmishan episode of irregular or unpremeditated fighting.$

The authorities cannot impose a fighting, so II is incorrect. Curfews must be put into place after fights or clashes, so no replacement is required for III.$

The only word that requires a correction is I.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.

22.

1). A growing technology2). To grow to a technology3). Growing up to a technology4). Grow a technology

Answer»

The PHRASE is correctly structured and NEEDS no change. Thus option 5 is the correct answer. Some of the options are GRAMMATICALLY correct but they change the MEANING of the sentence.

23.

1). She came2). She had come3). She would come4). She will come

Answer»

Correct option- 5

Here, concept of conditional sentences is brought under consideration. When, conditional words like as if, as though, since, in case etc. are used in a SENTENCE, then, they are never FOLLOWED by any modal. Thus, options 3 & 4 are eliminated. ALSO, this is present tense, so options 1 & 2 are clearly eliminated.

Note:- two modals are never used in one sentence.

Thus, the correct answer is option 5.

She may not COME, but we will PREPARE everything in case she comes.
