Answer» 'The correct answer is option 2. The word 'tortuous' means 'SOMETHING that has many twists and turns, like a winding road or a complicated argument'. It can also mean 'excessively LENGTHY and complex.' In sentence A, the word is used in the context of its second MEANING. It goes with the metaphor used in the sentence i.e., 'pouring SALT on an OPEN cut'. It is something harsh and rude. In sentence B, the word 'tortuous' refers to the winding body of the 'snake' while it moves. In sentence C, the word 'tortuous' refers to the twists and turns of the 'pathway'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. |

While standing at the gate, a scorpion stung Amit. 1). While standing 2). at the gate3). a scorpion stung Amit4). No Error |
|
Answer» As it is, the sentence reads as if the SCORPION was standing at the gate. The participle or the modifier must have some noun or PRONOUN immediately near it as it modifies the corresponding noun. Here, ‘Amit’ must be standing at the gate and not ‘the scorpion’. The following sentence is INCORRECT because the Participle is left without a proper agreement of the correct subject which is ‘Amit’. We can use ‘active voice’ to show the appropriate subject immediately after the modifier. The correct sentence would read as ‘While standing at the gate, Amit was stung by a scorpion’. Thus, the correct OPTION is 3. |
|

|
Answer» The correct answer is option 4. The word 'rein' means 'to keep under CONTROL' or 'restrain'. In SENTENCE A, the word 'rein' means 'control'. The sentence suggests that 'giving control to their ancient antipathy...'. Similarly, sentence B suggests that '...Balaga BEGAN to control, and turning back DREW up at the crossing of the old Konyusheny Street'. In sentence C, the word 'rein' does not fit in. The sentence does not convey any meaning. Therefore, option 4 is the correct answer. |

Turkey’s President defended the controversial (1)/ construction of a new presidential palace, (2)/ saying his old office was infesting with cockroaches. (3)/ No Error (4)1). 12). 23). 34). 4 |
|
Answer» The given sentence is in simple past tense. Now, focus on the clause ‘His old office was infesting with cockroaches’. You will notice that it is in passive voice (In passive sentences, the THING receiving the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing doing the action is optionally included near the END of the sentence for example, ‘The car was repaired by him’. In the active voice, which we normally use, the thing doing the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing receiving the action is the object for example, ‘He repaired the car’.) Therefore, we must use the passive form of the simple past tense verb ‘infested’ which is ‘was infested’. (We are USING simple past tense because, as stated earlier, the whole sentence is in simple past.) The correct sentence should be: 'Turkey’s PRESIDENT defended the controversial construction of a new PRESIDENTIAL palace, saying his old office was infested with cockroaches.' |

|
Answer» Whereas ‘would’ is used to talk about something in the past or a hypothesis, ‘will’ is used to talk about the future – to say what we believe will happen or to talk about what people are WILLING to do or to make promises. Eg: I would have called you if I knew. I will let you know the details of the plan. Thus, here ‘will’ must be used in (2) INSTEAD of ‘would’ to make the sentence grammatically CORRECT. The usage of 'will' can also be understood from its use in the latter part of the sentence. To maintain parallelism and denote both the ACTIONS in the future, we use 'will'. |

1). Hitesh thought2). Ganesh had already3). seeing the show4). No Error |
|
Answer» The error lies in part 3. The sentence uses the AUXILIARY verb 'had', indicating past perfect tense.

Correct sentence - Hitesh thought Ganesh had already seen the show.$ |
|

1). 12). 23). 34). |

1). AD2). BA3). CA4). No error |
|
Answer» The correct answer is option 1. The errors in the sentence are in part A and D. In part A, the word 'stocked' in incorrectly USED as it means to 'amass supplies of something, typically for a particular occasion or purpose' and does not fit the CONTEXT of the sentence. Thus, the word to be used is 'stalled' which means to 'stop or cause to stop making progress'. in part D, the word 'is' is incorrectly used as it is the incorrect conjugation of the verb 'to be'. The subject of the second part of this sentence is the 'other things' which is in the PLURAL form, and so 'are' is the correct form of the verb to be used. Thus, the sentence will result in as FOLLOWS: "If your productivity has stalled, or your frustration level has peaked at a new high, it may be that too many other things are on your mind". |

|
Answer» The error is in part 3 of the sentence. It should be ‘SEEKING’ rather than ‘seek’. The word ‘seek’ is grammatically INCORRECT in this context. Seek means an ATTEMPT to find SOMETHING. While seeking is the present participle of seek. Present participle is a participle that ends with ‘ing’, USED in continuous tense. Since the sentence is framed in continuous tense the word seek should also follow the same tense. |
|
| 26. |
1). 12). 23). 34). No error |
|
Answer» The error lies in part 3. The sentence USES the preposition ‘off’, which is used to describe a state of suspension or discontinuance, which is not correct given the context. The correct preposition must be ‘of’, which is used to point out SOMETHING. Prepositions are words which link nouns, PRONOUNS and phrases to other words in a sentence. They usually describe the position of something, the time when something happens and the way in which something is done. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Thus, the correct sentence is: The garden is located NEAR the foothills of Zabarwan range. |
