sentence(s). 1). Aesop's most famous fable is a shepherd boy who cries 'wolf'. 2). He cried wolf often when no wolf was around that when one did appear nobody took any notice of his warning. 3). Some environmentalists risk falling into the same trap. 4). They are so convinced in the righteousness of their cause that they will cry 'wolf' as any event that might plausibly be thought to support their view of the world.

the option that indicates the grammatically correct and appropriate
sentence(s). 1). Investors from abroad apprising India's financial industries can probably agree on two things. 2). First, that the potential for making money in this vast country, with its fast-growing economy and burgeoning middle class are enormous. 3). Second, that India's lingering bureaucratic and protectionist traditions place still frustratingly tight and complicated limits on foreign ownership. 4). Bit by bit, though, the door is opening.
Answer: C Sentence 1 has the wrong word -- apprise which means to inform or tell, appraise means to assess the value, quality or performance. The latter is the right word here. Sentence 2- the verb should be 'is' not 'are' ('is enormous' since the subject is potential). Sentence 3- the adverb 'still' qualifies the verb 'place' and so must precede it. Sentence 4 is right,

She is teaching aerobics for more than nine years. 4). "My appearance does not fit most people's idea of what an aerobic instructor looks", she says.
Answer: A Sentence 2 has a wrong preposition - it should be 'poster girl for' not 'to'.

Sentence 4, it should be '....what an aerobic instructor looks like'. Sentence 1 is right.
