Answer: C Option A is incorrect as all the main verbs are in ‘ing’ form and the sentence has the character of a clause- an incomplete sentence. ‘Blocking’ needs to be changed to ‘blocks’ and ‘among’ should be replaced with ‘between’ to make option A correct. In option B, it should be ‘opposition to’ instead of ‘opposition of’. Also ‘blocked’ should be changed to ‘blocking’ to conserve the semantics of the sentence. In option D , either of the verbs ‘placed’ or ‘blocked’ needs to be in the ‘ing’ form to make a correct sentence.
Q. No. 2:
Identify the correct sentence.
A :
Presently and in clear terms, The teacher who is teaching needs to be told , that he is being very aggressive.
B :
Presently, the teacher who is teaching needs to be told that he is being very aggressive in clear terms.
C :
The teacher, who is teaching presently needs to be told , in clear terms, that he is being very aggressive
D :
The teacher who is presently teaching needs to be told in clear terms that he is being very aggressive.
Answer: D Option A starts with a phrase which is clumsy to start the sentence. Also the phrase is modifying ‘told’ and not ‘the teacher’. In option B, ‘being aggressive in clear terms’ does not make sense. In option C , it is ambiguous and unclear whether ‘presently’ is modifying ‘teaching’ or ‘needs to be told’.
Q. No. 3:
Identify the incorrect sentence/ sentences 1). Each of the movies were great and the choice for the best one between all three was very difficult indeed. 2). Students who take their teachers’ advice often can improve their results. 3). As I saw through the papers I could hear its approaching. 4). A car hit a big tree and car was damaged beyond reparation. 5). Using the reports of comprehensive longitudinal studies of accident prevention, several states have passed laws that require children under the age of 18 to wear helmets when they ride roller coaster.
Answer: A In (1) Each is singular, verb should be was. Further, ‘the best one between all three’ should be changed to’ the best one among all three’. So (1) is incorrect. (2) has problem of squinting modifier. Position of ‘often’ makes it doubtful whether ‘often’ is used for taking advice or for improving results. So (2) is incorrect. (3) Uses gerund with a possessive case of pronoun. So (3) is correct. In (4) after ‘and ‘ car would take ‘the’ as it becomes a specific car. (5) uses modifier correctly.
Q. No. 4:
Identify the correct sentence
A :
Inquiry report show that the coach not his players are to be blamed
B :
Inquiry report shows that the coach not his players are to be blamed
C :
Inquiry report show that the coach not his players have to be blamed
D :
Inquiry report shows that the coach not his players is to be blamed
Answer: D Inquiry report is singular. So the verb should be ‘shows’ not ‘show’. There is another crucial mistake in the second part of the sentence. Whenever a positive subject is accompanied by a negative subject, the verb follows the positive one. Therefore, coach will determine the verb here. Sentence (B) repairs the first mistake but ‘the coach not his players are to be blamed’ is still there. Option D takes care of both the discrepancies.
Q. No. 5:
In the following question there are sentences that forms a paragraph. Identify the sentence(s) that is/are correct in terms of grammar and usage. 1). Tej, Mangelal and Santu, Ganesh tribals and school dropouts 2). are beginning to form ripples in Gogunda, a small town near Udaipur, 3). in the forgettable, dry scrubland of Rjasthan's Mewar region. 4). The energetic trio have formed a plumber-electrician combine. 5). "We have already bagged nine work orders". they say happily.
Answer: D Sentence 1 is faulty because of a missing comma after 'dropouts'. Sentence 2 is erroneous. 'From ripples' is the wrong expression, 'cause ripples' is the correction. Sentence 3 :-'Unforgiving' which means causing a lot of difficulty is the correct word to replace 'unforgettable' which mean memorable. Sentence 4 and 5 are free of errors.
Q. No. 6:
In the following question there are sentences that forms a paragraph.

Answer: C Sentence 1 is erroneous. Staple food should be followed by 'in' or 'of' in this context not within. Sentence 5 is faulty because of the preposition 'of' in place of 'for' preceding 'concern'. The correct expression is 'a cause of concern'. Sentence 2,3 and 4 are correct.
