4.	1). He never2). known what3). went wrong4). that she left him.
Answer» The sentence uses the PAST participle form of the verb 'to know', viz, known. Such participle forms are ALWAYS USED with another verb, 'is/was' or 'have/had'. So, its use is incorrect here. The CORRECT tense must be simple past tense,'knew', as the activity of SOMETHING going wrong has already happened. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.

Discussion

5.	1). Have2). Has3). Was4). Were
Answer» The SENTENCE uses the word 'been', which MEANS the sentence is in perfect TENSE. The verb, then must be with the auxiliary verb 'have'. Since the sentence uses the plural form 'rulers', 'have' becomes the correct word to be USED and not 'the singular 'has'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.

Discussion

6.	1). Wasim wanted to2). keep along3). bowling all day4). to improve his performance.
Answer» The preposition used in the sentence is 'along', which means 'in a horizontal line with SOMETHING', which is not appropriate here. The sentence suggests that Wasim wanted to continue bowling all day, in which case, the correct preposition would be 'on'. 'To keep on' doing something is CONTINUING something. THEREFORE, the correct answer is option 2.

Answer» The sun had set last evening and the artist recreated it later that NIGHT. This means that both the ACTIONS were in the past. So the use of the FUTURE tense in PART 2 of the sentence is wrong. We need to correct this as follows – “The sight of the sun setting last evening gave the artist…”

Discussion

8.	1). Lara had ran for2). ten miles for the marathon3). which was an initiative4). for breast cancer.
Answer» The sentence SHOWS past perfect TENSE. The sentence uses the past tense form of the auxiliary verb 'have', which means the corresponding main verb must be in past participle form. The past participle of 'to run' is 'run'. The error lies in PART 1, where the simple past tense verb 'ran' is used. Therefore, the correct ANSWER is OPTION 1.

Discussion

9.	I am disgusted (1)/ with the lifestyle (2)/ that follows in some countries (3)/ of the West (4)/ No error (5)1). 12). 23). 34). 4
Answer» The ERROR is in the VOICE used in the third part of the sentence. Since we are stating a general truth we need to use the present tense in the passive voice. Thus, ‘follows’ needs to be changed to ‘is FOLLOWED’ to make the sentence grammatically CORRECT.
