Solutions

S1. Ans. (c)
Sol. Replace ‘forwarded to help’ with ‘came for help’.

S2. Ans. (b)
Sol. Replace ‘is’ with ‘are’ as here ‘poor’ stands for ‘poor people’

S3. Ans. (a)
Sol. Replace ‘came’ with ‘come’ as did not is always followed by V1.

S4. Ans. (c)
Sol. Remove ‘was’

S5. Ans. (c)
Sol. Add ‘in’ after ‘sleep’. If ‘infinitive’ is used after ‘noun’ then appropriate preposition should follow ‘infinitive’.

S6. Ans. (a)
Sol. Add ‘done’ after ‘have’. Different forms of verbs should be used in a sentence if required

S7. Ans. (c)
Sol. Use ‘attend’ after ‘than’. Because ‘would rather’ is followed by ‘V1’ and after ‘than’ the form ‘V1’ will come.

S8. Ans. (a)
Sol. Remove ‘as’. ‘Considered’ is not followed by ‘as’.

S9. Ans. (e)
Sol. No error

S10. Ans. (b)
Sol. Substitute ‘are’ for ‘will be’. When two future events are to be expressed in a sentence the first event is expressed in simple present tense while the subsequent event is expressed in simple future tense. Hence first ‘will be’ should be replaced with ‘are’.

S11. Ans. (d)
Sol. Here, in part (d) of the statements, we will eliminate ‘to’ because the correct structure is ‘Let+ subject + v1’.

S12. Ans. (b)
Sol. there is an idiomatic error in part (b) where ‘done a mistake’ will be replaced with ‘made a mistake’. In passive form, ‘a mistake made’ is the correct usage.

S13. Ans. (a)
Sol. ‘have been’ will be used before ‘left’.

S14. Ans. (d)
Sol. ‘hung’ will be replaced with ‘hanged’.

S15. Ans. (b)
