Solutions

S1. Ans. (d)
Sol. The sentence C contains an error. The verb goes is incorrect in this sentence. The subject “they” should use the plural form of the verb “go” instead of “goes.” Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “They go to the gym every day to work out.”

S2. Ans. (a)
Sol. Sentence (A) has a grammatical error. The phrase “that I read it” is redundant. Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “The book that I read was very interesting.”
Sentence (C) has a grammatical error. The sentence incorrectly uses “should had” instead of the correct form “should have.” Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “We should have left early to avoid the traffic.”

S3. Ans. (b)
Sol. The sentence B contains an error. The use of “couldn’t hardly” creates a double negative, which is grammatically incorrect. Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw the magnificent view.”

S4. Ans. (b)
Sol. Sentence (A) has a grammatical error. The possessive pronoun “its” does not require an apostrophe. Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “The company is launching its new product next week.”
Sentence (B) has a grammatical error. The past participle of “go” is “gone,” not “went.” Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “I have gone to that restaurant many times before.”

S5. Ans. (c)
Sol. The sentence A contains an error. The verb “took” is in the past tense, but the sentence should use the present perfect tense, “has taken” (has/have + V3). Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “My brother has taken up a new hobby – painting.”

S6. Ans. (e)
Sol. Sentence (A) has a grammatical error. The subject “they” should be followed by the plural form of the verb “were” instead of “was.” Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “They were planning a surprise party for their parents.”
Sentence (B) has a grammatical error. The subject “they” is plural, so it should be followed by the plural form of the verb “go.” The verb “goes” is incorrect because it is the singular form. Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “They go to the gym every day to exercise.”
Sentence (C) has a grammatical error. The subject “he” should use the singular form of the verb “doesn’t” instead of “don’t.” Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “He doesn’t want to go to the party tonight.”

S7. Ans. (d)
Sol. Sentence (B) has a grammatical error. The past participle of “take” is “taken,” not “took.” Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “I have taken the bus to office every day for the past month.”
Sentence (C) has a grammatical error. The double negative “doesn’t have no” creates a grammatical error. Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “He doesn’t have any idea how to solve the math problem.”

S8. Ans. (d)
Sol. Sentence (A) has a grammatical error. The subject “students” is plural, so it should be followed by the plural form of the verb “were” instead of “was.” Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “The students were waiting outside the classroom for the teacher.”
Sentence (C) has a grammatical error. The subject “she” should use the singular form of the verb “doesn’t” instead of “don’t.” Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “She doesn’t like to eat vegetables.”

S9. Ans. (a)
Sol. Sentence (A) has a grammatical error. The correct negative form of “do” in the present tense is “don’t have” or “do not have.” Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “I don’t have any money to lend you.”
Sentence (C) has a grammatical error. The past participle of the verb “write” is “written,” not “wrote.” Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “She had written a poem for her friend’s birthday.”

S10. Ans. (c)
Sol. Sentence (B) has a grammatical error. The word “it” after “baked” is unnecessary and creates redundancy. Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “The cake that I baked was delicious.”
Sentence (C) has a grammatical error. The verb form “are planned” is incorrect. the correct verb form to use is “have planned” to indicate a completed action in the past. “We” is the subject, and “have planned” is the correct present perfect tense form of the verb “plan.” This form indicates that the action of planning the trip occurred in the past and is relevant to the present. Therefore, the sentence should be rewritten as “We have planned a trip to the beach next month.”
