Solutions

S1. Ans. (a)
Sol. Change ‘if Ankita would has’ into ‘If Ankita had’. When talking about something that didn’t happen in the past, we use past perfect tense.

S2. Ans. (b)
Sol. ‘bade’ takes ‘plain infinitive’ (V1) after it and not ‘infinitive’ (to + infinitive). So, change ‘to finish’ into ‘finish’.

S3. Ans. (e)
Sol. The sentence is grammatically and contextually correct. Since, there is no error in the given sentence; option (e) is the right answer choice.

S4. Ans. (d)
Sol. ‘Other’ should be used in place of ‘there’. Since ‘there’ does not go with the meaning of the sentence, hence, (d) is the correct option.

S5. Ans. (b)
Sol. Change ‘respectively’ into ‘respectfully’.
Respectively: separately or individually and in the order already mentioned
Respectfully: with deference and respect.

S6. Ans. (c)
Sol. The sentence narrates about Corona Virus’s impact so the possessive adjective used here should be ―’its’ and not ―’their’ in (C). Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice.

S7. Ans. (e)
Sol. The sentence is correct and there is no correction required. Hence, option (e) is the right answer choice.

S8. Ans. (c)
Sol. The sentence shows media role currently. Also the sentence is in present tense. Therefore, no verb can be written in past tense. Therefore, ―’enabled’ must be replaced with ―’enables’ to make the sentence grammatically correct. Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice.

S9. Ans. (b)
Sol. ‘Pulled out’ must be followed by ―’from’ and not ―’in’. Pull out means to withdraw from some place. Hence, option (b) is the right answer choice.

S10. Ans. (d)
Sol. The correct phrase is ―’in the wake of’ and not ―’in the waked of’. ‘Wake’ here is used as a noun and not a verb. Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S11. Ans. (b)
Sol. ‘Gets’ (singular verb) should be used instead of ‘get’ (plural verb) for noun ‘anger; to make the sentence grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Hence, option (b) is the right answer choice.

S12. Ans. (d)
Sol. ‘Between’ is always followed by ‘and’ in order to connect two things or persons. Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S13. Ans. (a)
Sol. The error is in (A) part of the given sentence.
Chick: a young bird
Chic: elegant and stylish
Hence, option (a) is the right answer choice.

S14. Ans. (d)
Sol. The error lies in part (D). “were” will be used instead of “was”. Here, “crop losses” are plural in number so plural verb will be used here. Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S15. Ans. (e)
Sol. The sentence is grammatically and contextually correct. Since, there is no error in the given sentence; option (e) is the right answer choice.
