Solutions

S1. Ans. (c)
Sol. Use ‘above’ in place of ‘over’ because to tell ‘level’, ‘above’ is used whereas ‘over’ implies movement from one place to another. Ex. Inflation is above 6%. Temperatures have been above average.

S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. Replace ‘lives’ with ‘live’ because ‘Most of the Indian populations’ is a plural subject which should be followed by plural verb.

S3. Ans.(d)
Sol. Use ‘for reducing’ in place of ‘for reduce’ because the verb coming after preposition ‘for’ should always be in fourth form of the verb.

S4. Ans.(c)
Sol. ‘Ignore’ will be replaced by ‘ignored’ as sentence structure is in past tense.

S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. ‘worried’ will come in place of ‘worry’ as sentence structure is in past tense.

S6. Ans. (c)
Sol. Use of ‘very’ is superfluous here. Also, “Positive degree + Adjective” is used such as:
Tall enough, Rich enough. Hence, “very luckier enough’ is wrong here.

S7. Ans. (d)
Sol. Instead of ‘sign’, ‘signature’ will be used because ‘sign’ is a verb and ‘signature’ is a noun.

S8. Ans. (c)
Sol. Instead of ‘quiet’, quite will be used because ‘quiet’ is an adjective which means ‘silent’ while ‘quite’ is an adverb which means ‘slightly or relatively’. And quality of ‘badly’ will be defined by an adverb, not an adjective.

S9. Ans. (a)
Sol. Instead of ‘made research’, it will be ‘did research’ as we ‘do research’ and not ‘make research’.

S10. Ans. (a)
Sol. Instead of ‘confident’ it will be ‘confidence’. Because ‘confident’ is an adjective and ‘confidence’ is a noun.
