Solutions

S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. Instead of ‘I shall pass’ use ‘I pass’ will be used.

Sol. The given sentence is grammatically and contextually correct.

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. ‘relevant’ should be replaced by ‘relevance’.

S6. Ans. (b)
Sol. The correct preposition should be used. Note that it is patience ‘with’ people and not ‘to’ people.

S7. Ans. (d)
Sol. The same friend is both a singer and a scientist. So, it should be ‘who is a singer and scientist’.
