Major posts for which these banks conduct recruitment exams are: 1. Bank PO (Probationary Officer) 2. Bank Clerk 3. Bank SO (Specialist Officer) These exams mainly comprise 3 major subjects i.e. Quantitative Aptitude, English, and Reasoning Ability. The English Language is one of the most tricky sections of banking examinations. The major topics from this section are Reading Comprehension, Synonym Antonym, Para Jumble, Error Detection, etc. The below points decode the English Language Section of different prestigious Banking examinations.
Exam Difficulty Level 1 Bank Clerk/PO Prelims, Office Assistant, and Cooperative Banks
Certain questions in exams like IBPS Clerk Prelims, SBI Clerk prelims, etc. follow the easy pattern of questions. Most of the questions asked in these kinds of exams are easy and can be attempted with the prior knowledge of basic grammar that aspirants might have studied in their school time. Candidates must have a clear understanding of the basic rules of grammar. The concepts such as nouns, pronouns, verbs, tenses, etc. should be revised and the habit of reading newspapers or books should be developed. The knowledge of such basic things also can help candidates tackle simple questions, detection of errors, fill in the blanks, sentence corrections, etc.
Exam Difficulty Level 2 Bank Clerk/SO Mains, Officer Scale I, Insurance, Grade B exams & Grade A Preliminary exams
Compared to the level 1 questions, the difficulty level of questions in such exams is moderate and the application part of the concept is more prominent in this section. Some tips for level 2 difficulty questions are mentioned below. Questions such as synonyms and antonyms may or may not be asked directly but could be a part of the Reading Comprehension question set. The candidates need to apply their knowledge of vocabulary in order to tackle such questions.
The application of vocabulary and grammar is also required in the Cloze Test questions as well.
Exam Difficulty Level 3 SBI PO Mains, IBPS PO Mains, LIC AAO, Grade A Officer, and Officer Scale 1 Mains Exam
This level of questions of the English Language section is comparatively tough to attempt but not impossible. Candidates who are appearing in the main exams of SBI PO, IBPS RRB Officer Scale 1, etc will be facing such questions. Few tips that might be of great help for you are as follows. Lack of reading habits can result in reading comprehension questions consuming a lot of time. Aspirants may also feel the need to go through the passage again to find answers to the questions asked. Hence to tackle level 3 questions, the habit of reading is a must and this cannot be developed in limited days. Hence, there is no alternative to reading. This practice will also help the candidates to solve the para jumble questions. It is extremely important to figure out the flow of the content provided in order to tackle the para jumble questions.
Expert Curated Preparation Tips & Tricks for English Language Aspirants need not worry as the below points have complete details on how to prepare for the English Language section for various upcoming banking examinations by explaining the guidance on how to proceed with it. Let us have a look at some of the key points given below to follow.
Check Exam Pattern and Syllabus Before you start your preparation it is important to have good knowledge about the exam pattern and syllabus of the exam. Prior information on exam patterns and syllabus will help you to know about the marking scheme, important subjects to cover, total marks, and time duration of the exam.
Devise an Effective Study Plan It is important to plan an effective timetable for the exam, in which you can divide the day for each subject and section. English language skills cannot be improved in a limited number of days, it is a long-term process and hence a study plan is essential. Make sure you take proper breaks and refreshments in between your preparation. A calm mind is very important to absorb well.
Master the Basics To get a good command of the English language it is important to have concrete knowledge of the basics of Grammar. In the bank exams, a good number of questions are asked from the grammar section. Practice the grammar section through good books available in the market like Objective General English by Arihant.
Practice is the Key to Success Once you are well acquainted with the syllabus, Practice important questions of English as many times as possible before the exam as it will help you to know the expected questions. For the English section, daily practice of sections like the RC, Cloze test is important to get the speed and accuracy required at the time of the actual exam. Best way to ace your preparation is to practice the previous year's papers for the banking exam. Practicing previous year's papers will help you to know about the difficulty level and important topics to cover. Apart from the previous year’s paper, practice the mock test to know the latest exam trend, and check your preparation level for the exam. Attempting the previous year's paper and mock tests will help you know about the strong and weak points and you will be able to score good marks in the exam. Focus more on your strong points and improve your weaknesses.
Important Topics To Cover in English for Banking Exams The topics covered in the English Language section are explained further which are asked in most of the banking examinations. The most important topics in this exam can be easily figured out as the trend for the examinations remains predictable every year. Moreover, some analysis on the previous year’s papers of different banking exams gives us an idea that every year questions from Reading Comprehension, Error Detection, Para Jumbles etc. are asked regularly and hold the maximum weightage in the banking examinations.
Reading Comprehension Reading Comprehension is a topic that holds a great weightage of marks. If this topic is prepared well candidates can score good marks in the exam. It has been observed that many candidates struggle with the RC. To tackle the RC in the least amount of time, one should calm his mind and concentrate well to understand the plot/ story in one go. If the concentration breaks in between, one has to re-read the whole passage, which is in itself very time-consuming. To get the RC in a single read, one must develop a habit of reading.
Solve reading comprehension by practicing this topic with a stopwatch. Try to solve each passage with more accuracy and in less time. Candidates are advised to solve a minimum of 2 to 4 comprehensions leading up to the exam day.
Synonym Antonyms Vocabulary in the banking exam is the second most important and easiest option to score marks. One should be well versed in this section. Mostly, the questions on vocabs are asked in RC, a synonym or antonym of a certain word is asked. Apart from RC below are some topics where Vocab can help you to score good marks. The best way to improve your vocabulary is to read newspapers, articles and write the words you find there in a notebook. Revise this notebook before starting studying for the day daily. Another great way to learn the words is from the Mnemonic Techniques, these techniques help to remember important words of vocabulary. Doing so will help you to remember those words for a longer period of time.
Cloze Test From the Cloze Test, a good number of questions are observed now, in this section your grammatical and vocabulary-based skills are checked. Questions are generally asked from vocab, preposition, and verbs, out of which the candidates have to choose the correct option. Candidates are advised to practice mock tests to know the new pattern of Cloze test questions asked in banking exams nowadays.
Para Jumble Important topics under number series are completing the series, finding the missing term, and finding the wrong term in the series. You should solve 100s of questions on different patterns related to number series before appearing for the exam. The pattern of the Number Series can be derived on the basis of prime numbers, alternate series, cubes, squares, and so on. Therefore, you should learn the cubes (up to 20) and squares (up to 30) to crack this type of question in their first attempt.

Sol 1. It should be, will it be 'retaining' instead of 'retained'. Retain refers to save or store for future. Retained is the past tense of 'retain' and retaining is the continuous tense of retain. Since the context of the sentence questions about a future continuous scenario about India’s image in terms of development, therefore, the word retaining would be used.
Sol 10. The correct option is option 3.
The error is in 3rd part.
The same verb can be used for two different subjects only when the subjects are in the same number. Here, the same verb 'are' is used for two different subjects'working hours', which is a plural subject, and 'salary', which is a singular subject. As the subjects differ in their number, the same verb can't be used for them. We need to use the correct form of the verb for the singular subject i.e. 'is'
Sol 2. Contravene is a verb which means to offend or conflict. Both sentences A and C are correct in the usage of the word. In sentence B, however, its meaning is not justified, therefore, the correct word in sentence B should be conclude. Sol 3. The correct option is option 5. No changes are required. Sol 4.
The correct option is option 3. Iran’s decision to reduce its commitments under the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which sought to curtail its nuclear capabilities, is more of a warning than a move to break the nuclear deal.
Sol 5. The error lies in part 4 of the sentence as the word ‘appropriate’ which means ‘suitable’ has been incorrectly spelt here. Meaning of other words are given below: Implied=> said indirectly. Debate: a contention by words or arguments. Opponent: one that takes an opposite position (as in a debate, contest, or conflict). Sol 6. The correct answer is option 3, i.e., 'that burst from'. The phrase 'burst from' is incorrect and makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. It implies that Johnny Depp literally burst because of verve and energy, which does not make any sense. The correct phrase is 'burst with', which means to be overfull with something or some particular emotions. The correct sentence is: Johnny Depp is known for eccentric performances that burst with verve and energy. Sol 7. The correct preposition that follows the word 'absolve' is 'from'. Thus option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 8. The error lies in part 1. The sentence uses the form 'Many a hardships', which is incorrect. Since we are referring to many of one thing, the noun must be in its singular form, viz, many a hardship. Parts 2 and 3 are grammatically correct and hence do not require any corrections. Their replacements are grammatically incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. The final sentence will be: Many a hardship did he encounter, but with rare pluck, he persevered in his studies, and at the age of twenty odd years became a mandarin. Sol 9.
Only sentences A and C are correct. “Conflagration had finally died down” means “an extensive fire which destroys a great deal of land or property had finally reduced”. Hence the correct answer is option 1. Sentence B is wrong as it doesn't convey the correct meaning of the phrase.

The correct sentence will be 'His job is a torture- the working hours are too long, the salary is minimal, and his colleagues are
very rude'. Sol 11. The correct word in this context would be ‘listening’ which is different from ‘hearing’ which is done without effort like a noise in the background which may or may not register, but listening takes an effort and we pay attention while doing it, hence ‘listening to a song’. Thus the correct answer is that there is an error in part 4. Sol 12. The correct answer is option 4 i.e. D.
Explanation When the statement is positive, we should use a negative question tag(and vice versa). In this sentence, the question tag would be negative as the statement is positive- 'haven't we?' should be used in this case. An example is: Yesterday was so much fun, wasn't it? For example, It's cold (positive), isn't it (negative)? And: It isn't cold (negative), is it (positive)? The correct sentence is: We have been waiting at the station for an hour, haven't we?
Sol 13. The correct answer is option 3 i.e. C.
Explanation In the above part C, the word 'begun' does not grammatically suit the sentence. When we use 'did not' in a sentence, the verb following it must be in its base or original form. So, the verb 'begun' should be replaced by 'begin.'
Therefore, the correct sentence is: The students were nervous as the exam did not begin on time.
Sol 14. The correct answer is option 1 i.e. A.
Explanation: In part A, the word 'datas' is the wrong form of the word. The word 'data' is already in its plural form. The
g
https://amzn.to/350yFZS grammatically correct singular form of 'data' is a datum. Some other words are also used in both plural and singular sense. They are, 'series,' 'deer,' 'sheep,' 'apparatus,' 'fish,' etc. An example is: A series of seminars was delivered. Therefore, the correct statement is: The present data show that
the death rate has fallen down. Sol 15. The correct alternative is option 3 i.e. C. Explanation One of the common errors in the use of certain conjunctions is made while using the conjunctions ‘rather’ and ‘other.’ These two conjunctions are followed only by ‘than’. In the sentence above, ‘rather’ is followed by ‘but’ instead of ‘than’. This is incorrect. The sentence is about someone who wanted to be an actor instead of a comedian. Hence, the appropriate conjunction pair to use is ‘rather –than.’ Therefore, option 1 is the correct answer based on this rule. An example of the same is: I would rather leave than take part in a dishonest deal. Therefore the correct statement would be: He wanted to be an actor rather than a comedian.
Sol 16. The correct answer is option 1, i.e., 'The bully was always'. The given sentence is clearly not in the past tense and thus the use of the word 'was' is incorrect. The given sentence expresses the future actions/behaviour of a bully. Thus, the correct word to use instead of 'was' is 'will', which expresses a strong intention/assertion about the future. The correct sentence is: The bully will always sport a mean expression whenever he is terrorizing the younger kids. Sol 17.
The correct option is option 1. It should not be 'who' in part A. Instead of that, it should be 'which' because here we are talking about a political party and not a person. Sol 18.
The correct option is option 4. It should not be 'since' in part A because it is not talking about some time. It should not be 'views' in part B because the sentence is in the present tense. Sol 19. The correct answer is option 3, i. e., C. The error lies in part C. "Under the pretext" is a correct phrase used to indicate a false reason which one uses to do something else. The use of "over" in the sentence is grammatically incorrect. Correct sentence:
He went to watch a movie with his friends under the pretext of going to tuition.
Sol 20. The error lies in parts 1 and 3. Part 1 uses the form 'He betaken himself, which is incorrect. Since the sentence uses the simple past tense verb 'prayed', the correct verb form here must be the simple past tense form 'betook'. To Betake- To go to. Part 3 uses the adjective form 'hard', which is incorrect as it is referring to the verb, 'dealt' and not to any noun. So, it must be in
y
Error Spotting
its adverb form 'harshly'. Part 2 is grammatically correct and hence does not require any corrections. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. The corrected sentence will be: While there, he betook himself to the temple of the deity who had dealt so harshly with him and prayed for a revelation.
Sol 21. The correct answer is option 2. The simple present form of the verb 'ascribe' must be replaced with the past participle form of the verb ie. 'ascribed' as the verb phrase 'must be' precedes it. The other parts are grammatically correct. Sol 22. Correct option - 4 1, 2 & 3. Here, concept of double negatives is brought under consideration. Verb 'forbade' is a past tense of 'forbids' which means to command someone not to do something. Since, it is itself a negative word. So, using not will make the sentence positive in meaning which is grammatically incorrect. Thus, options 1, 2 & 3 are eliminated. 5. Also, 'forbade' is a past tense of verb 'forbid'. And, past tense does not take s/es after it. Hence, option 5 is eliminated. Thus, option 4 is the correct answer. Sol 23. Correct option - 5 1. First of all, word many is a noun which is used for a large number of people, places or things., that means it's a plural noun. Hence, according to sub-verb agreement, verb should also be plural. But, verbs used in option 1, 'draws' and 'wakes' are singular. Hence, option 1 is eliminated. 2 & 4. We refer to morning, afternoon and evening as 'in the morning', 'in the afternoon', 'in the evening' but not 'in the night' instead we say 'at night.' 'In night' shows a period of time, whereas, with reference to the context, there is a particular time to go to bed. Hence, options 2 & 4 are eliminated. 3. There is a specific preposition 'to' is used when it is used in the context of going to bed to sleep, i.e. 'go to bed'. 'In bed' is used when the person is already lying on the bed. Hence, option 3 is eliminated. So, option 5 is the correct answer. Sol 24. The correct answer is option 3-C When two actions happen in the past, we assign the simple past tense to the action happening later and the past perfect tense to the action happening earlier. From the given sentence, it is clear that the action of lying or not lying had taken place earlier than that of her 'rejecting the suggestion'. Thus, 'has' needs to be replaced with 'had'. Sol 25. The error lies in part B. The sentence uses the preposition 'from', which is incorrect, given the context. The betterment will be 'of' the youth and not 'from' it. So, the correct preposition here is 'of'. So, the errorless combination is ACD. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. Correct sentence - Formulation of schemes for betterment of the
youth is one of the prime objectives of the mayor.
Sol 26. The only grammatically correct sentence from the given options is 3. The option 1 is incorrect, as the correct past perfect tense form would be 'had run away' and not the past tense 'had ran away'. The adjective 'considerable' is incorrect here, as it is used right after a verb, which suggests that it must be an adverb. The adverb form is 'considerably'. This means options 2 and 4 are incorrect. A fervour is a noun meaning an intense, passionate feeling. The context of the sentence suggests that the adjective form 'fervent' and the adverb form 'fervently' are incorrect, as it is used with the preposition 'with'. So, it must be a noun. This makes options 4 and 5 incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Sol 27. The only grammatically correct sentence from the given options is 2. The preposition 'from' means coming or arising out of something, which is incorrect here. The correct preposition would be 'of'. The heat of the moment means doing things spontaneously, while being angry or excited. So, 1 is incorrect. Option 3 is incorrect, as 'whom' is the object of the verb in passive voice. It cannot be used as the correct conjunction here. Option 4 uses the to-infinitive, so the verb must be in its simple present tense form. But, the verb used here is 'confronted', so it is incorrect. Option 5 uses the form 'have had', before the main verb confronted, which is incorrect. The 'have' is an auxiliary verb and 'had' here is the past tense form of the verb 'to have'. So option 5 is also not correct. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 28. Correct option - 4 When a cardinal number (one, two, thousand, lakh) is used with a plural noun. Then, these numbers are also used in singular form. That is, four-six lakh cases. Hence, option 4 is the correct answer. Correct sentence: Gastric cancer is the fourth most common form of cancer and the most common cause of death from cancer; a ten-fold variation in its occurrence across the world records four-six lakh cases in many countries. Sol 29. The error lies in part 3. The sentence uses the preposition 'at', which is incorrect here. 'Aftermath' refers 'to events that follow something'. The correct preposition here, then, would be 'in' the aftermath. Parts 2 and 3 are grammatically correct and hence do not require any corrections. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. The corrected sentence will be: Scores of millions were drawn from the banks and trust
companies to stay the slump that was faced by the European economies in the aftermath of the crisis. Sol 30. The correct answer is option 4. Whenever any pronoun is used after ‘like’, ‘unlike’ or ‘let’ , the objective case of that pronoun is used. So here instead of ‘she’, ‘her’ should be used. Thus option 4 is the correct answer. Sol 31. The correct answer is option 2. Whenever we use verbs like 'married, obliged or known' we use the preposition 'to' instead of 'by'. Thus the error is in part 2 where the correct phrase is '...Rahul got married to Anjali....' Sol 32. The correct answer is "All are correct"
The sentence is free from any grammatical or contextual errors. Here we have combined two sentences into one with the help of a conjunction 'but'. The first part - Greater human capital is meant to propel economic growth ( this is an independent sentence ) 'propel' means 'drive or push something forwards.' That means any change in Human capital will always have a positive impact on economic growth. Second part - Research suggests that the relationship may not be as straightforward. (Contradictory part) This part is conveying that according to research there is a possibility that this impact will not be always positive. We can see both the sentence are independent and contradictory in nature. The conjunction 'but' is used to suggest such contrasts.
Error Spotting
It was a sunny day, but the wind was cold. (Here the second clause suggests a contrast that is unexpected in the light of the first clause.) The stick was thin but it was strong. He was ill but he went to work. She is poor but honest.
A coordinating conjunction is a word that joins two elements of equal grammatical rank and syntactic importance. They can join two verbs, two nouns, two adjectives, two phrases, or two independent clauses. The seven coordinating conjunctions are for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so.
'straightforward' is an adjective and it means 'easy to understand or simple' or '(of a person) honest and not likely to hide their opinions' Example: Just follow the signs to Bradford - it's very straightforward. Roz is straightforward and lets you know what she's thinking
'Research' is correct. We do not generally use 'researches' when we refer to scientific work in a particular field. Following the correct rule of sub-verb agreement, 'suggests' would be correct here.
Sol 33. The correct answer is option 2) Option 1 is incorrect as the adverb form of neat (neatly) is needed after 'more'. Option 3 is incorrect as preposition on should be used with 'policy' before 'tourism'. Option 4 is incorrect as article 'the' is not used before 'largest', the superlative degree of an adjective. Sol 34. The correct answer is option 3) Option 1 is incorrect as conjunction nor is used with neither Option 2 is incorrect as the use of the preposition 'to' with verb 'leave' is incorrect, it should be leaving for college. Option 4 is incorrect as the second part of the sentence doesn't convey any clear sense because of the word 'answered'. We need to replace it with 'answerable'. Sol 35. The error lies in part 2. The sentence uses the form 'whom', which is used as the object of the verb. Since the sentence suggests a direct action taken by the sovereigns, the subject, the correct form here should be the subjective pronoun 'who'. Parts 1 and 3 are grammatically correct and hence do not require any corrections. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. The corrected statement will be: The cultivation of the liberal arts received encouragement at the hands of sovereigns who had reunited the Empire under the sway of a single ruler. Sol 36. The correct answer is Both I and III.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS The error is in Parts I and III of the sentence. 'Ones' is the plural number of 'one.' What we want to use here is ''once'' which means ''on one occasion or for one time only.'' Therefore the word 'once' should be used here instead of 'ones'. Moreover the correct phrase is ''at loggerheads.'' So ''in loggerheads'' is wrong. So option 4 is correct.
Sol 41. Explanation: In this sentence, two things are compared. Whenever there is a comparison between two things, the comparative adjective is used. The comparative degree of 'Good' is 'Better'. The third part of the sentence has an 'Error of Redundancy'. According to the grammatical rule, when we use 'better', it is obviously understood the comparison has been made. The degree of Adjectives are 'Good', 'Better', 'Best'. 'Comparatively good' is no connotation. But, here is an exceptional case where the use of ‘comparatively’ already suggests the idea of comparison and so we need not use comparative form. Thus the correct sentence is ‘I think Cadbury is a comparatively good chocolate.’ Hence, option 3) is answer.
The correct sentence will be: Mr. Alagiri, once the party’s south zone organiser with his base in Madurai, / was expelled from the DMK in 2014 by Karunanidhi for alleged anti-party / activities and has always remained at loggerheads with Mr. Stalin.
Sol 37.
The correct option is option 1. It should not be 'this' in part A. Instead of that, it should be 'that'. Sol 38.
The correct option is option 2- Only B 'Are' in part B should be replaced with 'am'
Error Spotting
Sol 42. Here option 2 is grammatically wrong since 'the sparrow and his mate' is plural and hence usage of 'their' must be made instead of 'his'.
The first person singular subject in a sentence always takes the singular verb 'am'. A singular person is the subject is hinted at by the pronoun 'someone'. 'Are' here is grammatically incorrect.
Sol 43. The error is in option 2 as only one bank is mentioned and we need to use 'even' as an adverb here. E.g. We have not even gone there.'Even though' representrs a conjunction which is unnecessary in the given context. The right sentence should be: There is not even a single bank for a population of 25000.
Sol 39. The correct answer is option (4) i.e. D
Sol 44. 'Since' is used to show time,the correct preposition should be 'by' as it is the person who is making the request, the corect sentence should be --A request for activation of the account has to be made by the customer. the error is in option 4
The corrections given in A and C are grammatically and contextually incorrect.
Sol 45. The correct answer is option 1. The error lies in part D of the sentence. In the case of measurable quantities that we cannot count like ‘energy’, the adjective(determiner) ‘much’ is used. ‘Many’ is used for countable objects. Example: There are many students in the class.
The error lies in part 1 of the sentence where the adverb 'evidently' has been used incorrectly. It needs to be replaced with the adjective 'evident' to make the sentence correct grammatically. An adjective always modifies the noun which is 'it' here. Thus, the adjective form must be used. Whereas 'evidently' is used in sentences like 'She has evidently got a promotion today, her splurging says so.' Here, the adverb 'evidently' modifies the verb 'got'. Thus, in the given sentence, the use of an adverb is incorrect.
Correct Sentence: ‘He had a lot of work but didn’t have much
energy to do it.’
A determiner is a word that comes before a noun to show which person or thing you are talking about. Examples: A, an, the, my, your, some, any, several, enough, any. Example sentences: I have a red hat. Please give me my bag. Some people decided to leave. She doesn't want any money. They watched several movies.
Sol 40. The given sentence is a general truth and so must be in simple present tense. It is assumed to be a general truth here as it is quite obvious that if there are equal opportunities in an organisation then many problems will be automatically reduced. So ‘has’ should not be used here. The correct statement will be ‘Equal opportunities for advancement across the length and breadth of an organisation keeps many problems away’. ‘Hence option 3 is the correct answer.
Sol 46. When the principal verb (admitted) is in the past tense, the verb in the subordinate clause (commit) should be in the past perfect tense as the second action is done much before than the first one. Also the verb form that will go with 'had' is the past participle form (V3). Correct sentence: I admitted to the crime that I had committed eight years ago for you. Sol 47. When the tense is in future form in the independent clause (will be so), the tense should be in the present form in the dependent clause (show). Correct sentence: My mother will be so happy when I show her my test results. Sol 48. 'However' is a transitional adverb and hence cannot connect two clauses. We need a conjunction to connect the two clauses - He believes in God and he believes in Satan. Correct sentence: He believes in God so he believes in Satan.

This sentence comes under exception : ( Main clause: Modal Auxiliary, If-clause simple present) The main clause uses will, can, may, or might + the base form of the main verb.; The if-clause uses the present simple tense. In the given context the main clause consists of the modal verb 'can' which is followed by the Second form of Verb The verb that follows a modal verb always appears in its infinitive form and without 'to' Thus, 'progressed' will be replaced by 'progress' in the given context to make it grammatically and contextually correct Let's see an example: You can buy the book if it is interesting. he correct sentence- The economy of a country can never T progress if the individuals including women are not educated.
Conditional sentences consist of a main clause and a conditional clause (sometimes called an if-clause). The conditional clause usually begins with if or unless. The conditional clause can come before or after the main clause. There are four main kinds of conditionals: The Zero Conditional: (if + present simple, ... present simple). The First Conditional: (if + present simple, ... will + infinitive). The Second Conditional: (if + past simple, ... would + infinitive). The Third Conditional. (if + past perfect, ... would + have + past participle). Conditional Clause

Sol 50. 'Sew' meaning stitch is incorrectly spelt here. The correct spelling is 'sew' So the error is in option 3. Sol 51. The correct answer is 'Barred'
In the given sentence, the usage of 'bared' is incorrect the correct spelling is 'barred' The meaning of 'Barred' is 'closed or secured with a long rigid piece of wood, metal, or similar material.' it is an adjective. So the correct sentence is- Once larry accepted the settlement offer, he was barred from further discussing the case with anyone else.

The correct answer is Option 4, i.e., BDAEC.
Explanation: The first statement is B i.e 'Chang’s mother is here' is the introduction of the main idea. The pronoun 'her' in the sentence 'D' refers back to the mother mentioned in the sentence 'B'. Hence, 'D' follows 'B'. A mentions connects 'the mother's attendance' with 'Staggering woes (overwhelming afflictions or misfortunes)' E clearly follows A as it mentions with what mother's attention has to do with C clear completes the sentence. (Someone's mien is their general appearance and manner, especially the expression on their face, which shows what they are feeling or thinking.)
Important Rules to Solve the Sentence Jumbles: Read the sentences attentively and try to comprehend the idea or theme of the sentences and eliminate the irrelevant options. Try to identify the opening (independent sentence) and closing sentences (concluding sentence). Try to identify the mandatory pairs. Two sentences can be connected through various connectors and other determinants. Identify the pronouns connecting the sentences with each other. Thus the sentence is: ‘Chang’s mother is here, and her attendance may have something to do with the staggering woe of Chang’s mien and play’.

Appoint (verb) assign a duty, responsibility, or obligation to. Territories (Plural noun) the geographical area under the jurisdiction of a state.

The correct answer is option 3-Both B and C The word plea is a request made in an emotional manner. Both B and C use it correctly. In A, the usage of the word ‘plea’ in the sentence is incorrect.

'Mite' is a minute arachnid which has four pairs of legs when adult, related to the ticks. It is an hom*ophone (same sounding word) for 'might' which is the past form of 'may' meaning to expressing possibility and is more appropriate in the
given context.
Sol 63. The word 'mail' refers to letters or parcels sent through post. We need the opposite of 'female' that is 'male' meaning the masculine gender for the sentence to be correct. Sol 64. 'Gander' is the male form of goose. The correct replacement would be 'gender' which means the state of being
male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones).
Sol 65. Correct option - 2 Since, the word 'definately' is incorrectly spelt. The correct spelling is definitely. It means something which is in a clear and definite manner. Thus, replace definately with definitely. Hence, option 2 is the correct answer. Correct sentence - This sentence definitely needs a correction. Sol 66. Correct option - 2 Since, the word 'begining' is incorrectly spelt. The correct spelling is beginning. It means starting of something; initial stage. Thus, replace 'begining' with beginning. So, option 2 is the correct answer. Correct sentence - I hate to miss the beginning of a movie so I always go early. Sol 67. The error lies in the wrong usage of the word 'meditate' which means 'focus one's mind for a period of time, in silence or
with the aid of chanting, for religious or spiritual purposes or as a method of relaxation.' It should be replaced with 'mediate' which means 'to help solve conflicts'. Thus option 1 is the correct answer. Sol 68. The error lies in the wrong usage of the word 'medicine' which should be replaced with 'medicinal'. 'Medicinal' means '(of
a substance or plant) having healing properties.' Thus option 3 is the correct answer.
Sol 69. The error lies in the wrong usage of the word 'scarce' which means 'limited'. The correct word should be 'scare' which means 'to make afraid'. Thus option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 70. The error lies in the usage of the word 'bretish' which should be replaced with 'brutish' which means 'cruel'. 'Bretish' is a misspelt word.' Thus option 1 is the answer. Sol 71.

Thus the correct option should be option 2. Sol 80. The error is in part (1) of the sentence. The sentence is in the present perfect tense. The form of the verb 'finish' is incorrect in the sentence. It should be 'finished'. The correct sentence will be: I have just finished my internship at the museum. Sol 81. Let's have a look at the spellings used in the above given sentence: Essay is correctly used and means a description or paragraph written on a topic. Various means variety. Interesting means engaging. Wrighting should be replaced by writing as it conveys the correct meaning and usage. Hence, option 1 is the correct answer. Sol 82. The correct answer is option 2- B The error is in the 2nd part of the sentence. Explanation The usage of the preposition "between" indicates that the things listed- ethnic group and racial group- should be linked by 'and' instead of 'or'.

Sol 83. The correct answer is option 3) i.e. c. In the part 'c' of the given sentence the use of 'were' after the relative pronoun 'that' is wrong. The verb that comes after a relative pronoun should agree with the word antecedent to the relative pronoun. In the given sentence the word before 'that' is 'limit' which is singular, hence, 'was' will be used in place of 'were'.

Sol 84. The correct answer is option 4. When the subjects of the sentence are synonymous with each other i.e. the captain along with his team, we use the singular form of the verb. So instead of are , we will use is. Since regularly is already describing the action, it is unnecessary to use very. Sol 85. The correct answer is option 1. Supposing if is the incorrect form of the verb according to the sentence so suppose should be used. --suppose it rains Also, should is mostly used as the past tense form of shall. So, in this sentence, shall is needed Sol 86. The correct answer is option 2, i.e. B. The error lies in part B. Since ‘attempts’ is a countable noun, the correct adjective describing it should be ‘many’ and not ‘much.’ The correct sentence is:In spite of many failed attempts, he still hopes to succeed in business. Sol 87. The correct answer is Option 2, i.e., part B. The sentence uses the incorrect plural noun 'hubs '. The usage of 'many a . .' requires a singular noun (as in many of one particular thing). Given the context of the sentence, the appropriate form here is the singular noun 'hub '. Thus the rectified part is- '....physical side, many an Asian hub saw activity....'
Sol 88. The correct answer is option 3, i.e. C. The error lies in part C. Since there is a comparison expressed in the sentence, the conjunction ‘than’ is better suited than ‘then.’ The correct sentence is:Being better acquainted with the country’s fickle weather than her, he had taken the trouble to pack some warm clothes. Sol 89. The correct answer is option 3, i.e. C. The error lies in part C. The word that is used to express a consequence, result or effect is ‘that’ and not ‘while.’ The correct sentence is:He was so tired after the long run that he could scarcely stand. Sol 90. The correct answer is option 1, i.e. A. The error lies in part A. Here, strength and courage are both positive words. Two such words which are almost alternatives to each other are joined by the conjunction ‘or’ and not ‘and.’ The correct sentence is:The troops were not lacking in strength or courage, A/ but they were disillusioned B/ by the cowardly tactics C/ of their commanding officer. Sol 91. The correct answer is 'C' i.e. 'error lies in part C of the sentence.'

Abstain Restrain oneself from doing something with this verb we always use a preposition 'from' Let's see an exampleHe took a vow to abstain from alcohol. The correct sentence is:- After suffering from a massive heart attack, Ramesh decided to abstain from meat and other animal products.
Sol 92. The correct answer is option 2, i.e. part B. The error lies in part B of the sentence. Words joined to a singular subject by “with”, “as well as” will accommodate the singular verb. The Chairman is singular and is joined by along with. Therefore, the verb should be singular. Thus, the error is in part 2 of the sentence as the plural verb form “were” is incorrect. It should be “was.” The correct sentence is:The Chairman, along with his colleagues was glued to the television on the day the budget was announced by the Finance Minister. Sol 93. The correct answer is option 2, i.e. B. The error lies in part B. Either, neither, each, everyone, many a have to be followed by a singular verb. The verb should be “was” and not “were” in part 2 of the sentence. The correct sentence is:Neither of the two armies was strong enough to be able to secure a decisive victory. Sol 94. The error lies in part 4. The sentence uses the incorrect adverb 'there'. Given the context, the correct word here should be the determiner 'their'. There- adverb- at that place. e.g. My purse is kept there. Their- determiner- something belonging to them. e.g.My purse is in their car. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 95. The correct answer is '3' i.e. error lies in part 3 of the sentence.
The sentence uses the preposition 'of', which is redundant here. Omit 'Of' Despite means in spite of, without being affected by. So the correct sentence is- It suggests that domestic demand remains resilient despite growing pressure on the country's export sector.
'Despite' is a preposition and we know that preposition always uses a prepositional object and it can only be a noun/pronoun/gerund. 'Growing' is a present participle which is used to qualify a noun pressure which is an uncountable noun.
Sol 96. The correct answer is option 2.
The correction is in the pronoun ‘his’. The correct pronoun to be used is ‘he’. ‘His’ is a possessive pronoun while ‘he’ is a nominative pronoun. E.g. He forgot his bag here. Therefore, the correct phrase is ‘he continued the search for food’. Hence, the error is in part 2.
In part C of the sentence, the usage of 'of' is incorrect Instead of it use 'from'
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Sol 97. Correct option - 4 Firstly, adjective progress takes preposition of with it. So, options 2 & 3 are eliminated. Also, "progress of community" is dependent upon achievements of women. Hence, work is being done by women here. Thus, by preposition should be used in context of passive voice. So, option 1 is eliminated. Also, the relative pronoun depends upon the nearest noun/pronoun it has. Since, "the degree of progress" is a non-living thing. So, who shouldn't be used. Hence, option 5 is eliminated. Thus, option 4 is the correct answer. Sol 98. Correct option - 2 Here, concept of preposition is brought under consideration. Following are the certain uses of prepositions when used with verb "die":Die of - disease, hunger. Die from - over-eating, obesity, heart attack. Die in - accident, poverty. Die for - country. So, clearly, option 2 is the correct answer. Sol 99. Correct option - 4 Here, concept of conjunctions is highlighted. There are certain conjunctions which are always used in pairs. For e.g.:though...yet; hardly/scarcely...when; no sooner...than; lest...should; both..and; etc. Clearly, options 1 & 2 are eliminated. When, "hardly...when" is used to join two phrases. If hardly is used at the beginning of a sentence before an auxiliary to say that one thing
happens very soon after another thing. Then, following pattern is followed: 'Hardly' clause past perfect tense + 'when' clause simple past tense. So, option 4 is the correct answer.
Sol 100. The correct answer is option 1. News is among those nouns which are plural in form but singular in meaning. So we must use a singular verb 'has.' Sol 101. In the given sentence only two parties were involved in the clash: cops and the protesters. Therefore, between should be used instead of amongst. Thus, option 3 is the correct answer as the error is in the third part. Sol 102. The correct answer is option 4. There is an error in the part of the speech of the word ‘approximate’ in the fourth part of the sentence. Since it is modifying the adjective 'thirty', the adverb ‘approximately’ needs to be used to give proper meaning to the sentence. Sol 103. The correct answer is option 1-A The sentence uses the phrase 'over the next few weeks', suggesting that the action shown by the main verb has been done frequently. Since we cannot attach any time frame to the action, we have to use an indefinite tense. Past indefinite tense will be the correct fit here as using present indefinite(emphasizes) makes the sentence grammatically wrong and contextually meaningless. Thus we have to replace the word 'emphasise' with the simple past tense verb 'emphasized' The president emphasised the same points in his speeches over the next weeks. Sol 104. Option 3 is the correct answer. The incorrect word used is 'sequence'. The correct form of the word to be used is 'sequences'. The sentence is stated in the present and plural tense. Thus, the latter part of the sentence is about the 'letters and number sequences' and so the plural form of the word should be used. The correct sentence will be:

Alphabet and number songs help children remember letters and number sequences. Sol 105. (2) has an error. ‘futures declines' is incorrect The correct word should be 'decline' as 'futures' is plural. Sol 106. (4) has an error. ‘of 113.395 plumb overnight’. The phrase ‘plumb overnight’ is qualifying the noun ‘a one-week low of 113.395’ and functioning as an adjective. A phrase starting with a participle (‘plumbed’) can function as an adjective. Sol 107. (3) has an error. ‘on Thursday, ‘complicates’ is grammatically incorrect. Here, ‘complicate’ cannot function as a verb but as a participle (complicating). Sol 108. (3) has an error. ‘affect local markets,’ The phrase ‘affect local markets,’ is qualifying the noun ‘factors’ and is functioning as an adjective. A participle phrase, starting with a participle (‘affecting’ or ‘affected’ ), functions as an adjective. Consider changing the word ‘affect’ to ‘affecting’. Sol 109. Correct option - 1 When cardinal number (one, two, three, etc.) are used with days, weeks, months, years (which are nouns) and then followed again with a noun, then, such nouns (days, years, etc.) act as an adjective. Five should be followed by a plural noun years. But, an adjective should be used which is not singular or plural. Hence, replace years with year. So, option 1 is the correct answer. Correct sentence - The Congress of China has confirmed the second five-year tenure for Mr. Xi and regarded him as the most powerful leader of China heading the party, the Presidency and the military. Sol 110. Answer: 2 The city of Chennai is in crisis after the four reservoirs ran dry. Eliminate options 1 and 3. Option 4 has the plural form, ‘crises’ but there is only one crisis mentioned in the sentence. Eliminate option 4. Option 5 has a modifier error. ‘ran completely dry’ is the correct usage and not ‘ran dry completely.’ Eliminate option 5. Hence, option 2 is the answer. Sol 111. The correct answer is option 2, i. e., B. The error lies in part B. "Would" is followed by the verb in its simple present tense form. Here, it is followed by simple past tense "cherished". Correct sentence:
I would always cherish the memories of our trip to Gangtok.
Sol 112. Option 2 can't be correct because, Presidency is ''the period or tenure of a president.'' Here we are not talking about someone's presidency. In option 3 candidature is wrong. It is the status of being a candidate. Here this word is not suitable. Here we should just use ''candidate.'' In options 4 and 5 the use of prepositions ''to and in'' is wrong. Actually what we should write is ''by a margin of.'' By is used for ''indicating the amount or size
of a margin.'' So talking all this into consideration, option 1 is correct.
Sol 113. The most common mistake here is with a phrase with 'water.' The correct phrase is ''watershed.'' It means ''an event or
period marking a turning point in a situation.'' So option 1 is correct. Also, electoral is an adjective. We can't perform an action (boycott) on an adjective. We must use a noun. So option 1 is correct. Sol 114. The most noticeable mistakes are: first of all a rocket can't launch itself as the first sentence suggests, so ''it will be
https://amzn.to/350yFZS launched'' by scientists. Secondly ,we can't use ''in'' with dates, like in sentence 5. It must be ''on.'' Also since there are two ''satellites'' which is plural, option 4 is incorrect. So overall, only option 3 is correct. Sol 115. The correct answer is option 2 i.e. only B.
The error lies in part B of the sentence. In part B of the sentence, 'the Supreme Court had score a goal' is grammatically wrong because the sentence is given in the present tense and the action, in the sentence, is anticipated or expected to be completed in Future tense, Hence:
the Supreme Court had scored a goal the Supreme Court will score a goal So, instead of 'had' the correct word would be ‘will’. Correct Sentence: "It looks like the Supreme Court will score a goal for women against at least one expression of centuries-old
patriarchy and dogma."
The simple future tense indicates that an action is in the future relative to the speaker or writer. There are no inflected forms for the future in English (nothing like those –ed or -s endings in the other tenses). The formula for the future simple is will + V(Base form). Positive Sentence: S + will + V(Base form) + object… Example: I will go to Thailand. Negative Sentence: S + will not/won’t + V(Base form) + object… Example: I will not go to Thailand. Question form: Will + S + V(Base form) +…? Example: Will you go to Thailand?
You can make the simple future tense by adding a "be verb" like 'is', 'are', or 'am' and "going to' before the base form of a verb. Tip: Make sure to use the right be a verb. There are only three: am, are, is. Be verbs should match their subject!
Sol 116. The correct answer is option 4, i.e., 'across her compliant children'. The preposition 'across' expresses position or orientation. It means 'from one side to the other side of something'. This preposition does not fit the context of the sentence and makes the sentence meaningless as well as grammatically incorrect. To correct the sentence, the preposition 'across' should be replaced with 'over', which expresses 'authority or control'. The authority of the mother 'over' her compliant children. The correct sentence is: The impatient and intolerant mother made every effort to domineer over her compliant children. Sol 117. The correct answer is option 1, i.e., 'More immigrants have'. The word 'more' indicates an additional amount or degree. It makes the given sentence vague as there is no given quantity with respect to which an additional number of immigrants have been talked about. Therefore, this sentence requires correction. To correct the sentence, the word 'more' should be replaced with 'many', which refers to 'a large number of' something. The correct sentence is:

Many immigrants have forgotten their native cultures because of acculturation in their new countries.
Sol 118. The correct answer is option 2, i.e., 'prove it shall be granted'. The given sentence is in the past tense. The word 'shall' expresses the future tense, making the sentence grammatically incorrect. To correct the sentence, the word 'shall' should be replaced with 'should', which is the past tense of 'shall'. The correct sentence is: The company was hard-pressed to prove it should be granted the contract since it didn’t have any other clients on the hook. Sol 119. The correct answer is option 4, i. e., D. The error lies in part D. "Exchange" is followed by the preposition "with". Here, "to" is used which is grammatically incorrect. Correct sentence:
I asked the salesperson if I could exchange my dress with any kitchen hardware.
Sol 120. The correct answer is option 1, i.e., 'doesn't forget'. The auxiliary verb 'doesn't' means 'does not'. It is used when speaking in the 3rd person singular only (he, she or it). The auxiliary verb is clearly not compatible with the sentence and makes it grammatically incorrect. To correct the sentence, 'doesn't' should be replaced with 'do not'. It is used when speaking in the first and second person plural and singular and the third person plural (I, you, we, and they). It fits the sentence perfectly making it grammatically correct. The correct answer is: Do not forget to wear sunscreen or you will get sunburned. Sol 121.
The error is in the 3rd part of the sentence. The correct word to be used here is the noun "legislation: the process of making or enacting laws" and not the verb "legislate: make or enact laws." Hence the correct answer is option 3. Correct sentence: The government is looking to hold fresh consultations on the proposed Personal Data Protection bill after differences emerged among policymakers over the legislation, said officials with knowledge of the matter. Sol 122. The correct answer is option 2. While as conjunction can be used to mean ‘during the same time that something is happening’. So, we can join sentences A and B using while. While the tobacco companies promote e-cigarettes as a ‘less risky’ smoking option, some industry documents show that their real goal is to introduce ENDS products as an alternative to quitting C and D can be joined using as / because. D provides an explanation to what is stated in C. The Narendra Modi government’s proposal to ban e-cigarettes and other electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) needs to be welcomed as such a move will ensure that Indians, especially, children, are kept away from these pernicious products. Or, The Narendra Modi government’s proposal to ban e-cigarettes and other electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) needs to be welcomed because such a move will ensure that Indians, especially, children, are kept away from these pernicious products. Sol 123. The error lies in parts 1 and 3. Part 1 uses 'has been' which is incorrect here as the sentence should be in the active voice. So, delete 'been'. Part 2 is a grammatically correct sentence and hence does not require any correction. Part 3 uses 'would' which is incorrect here since V3/V2 is not preceded by a modal. It must be in present perfect 'has'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Sol 124. The error lies in part 3. The sentence uses the incorrect preposition 'in'. Given the context, the correct word here should be the preposition 'to', making the phrase 'show cause as to why'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
Sol 125. Correct option: 4. The error in the sentence is the plural form of 'minutes'. Minutes in the plural form is grammatically incorrect in this sentence. It requires the singular form 'minute'. Sol 126. The correct answer is '3' i.e. error lies in part 3 of the sentence.
In part 3 of the sentence, the usage of 'Pollutes' is incorrect instead of it use 'Pollute' According to the rule of subject-verb agreement, the verb should agree with the subject in the given sentence the subject is 'we' because it is written in a nominative case hence use a plural verb i.e. 'Pollute' So the correct sentence is- The biggest paradox is that the more we pollute the environment the more difficult it is for us to live in it.
Sol 127. was should be used in place of were as the subject is singular
Option 2 is the answer.
Sol 128. The correct answer is option 3, i. e., C. The error lies in part C. "Drowning" involves water entering the lungs whereas sinking means going below the surface of something. A ship does not have lungs so it cannot drown. It can sink. Correct sentence:
An Indian ship loaded with expensive merchandise sank in the middle of the ocean.
Sol 129. Only part D of the sentence is grammatically correct and hence error-free. Part A is wrong since the preposition 'in’ is used instead of the appropriate preposition 'of’. Part B is wrong since the verb 'puzzle’ is used instead of the adjective 'puzzling’ which means ‘causing one to be puzzled; perplexing.’ Part C is wrong since 'it's’ which is the abbreviation for 'it is’ is used instead of 'its’ which a possessive pronoun belonging to or associated with a thing previously mentioned or easily identified. Hence the correct answer is option 4. Sol 130. The correct answer is option 2. Both i and iii can be used to begin the sentence correctly, without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. The word 'although' means 'in spite of the fact that'. The correct sentences would be: i. Although the exam was difficult, we managed to finish it on time and passed. iii. The exam was very difficult, yet/but we(still) managed to finish it on time and passed. The word 'since' means 'because'. It is not capable of joining both the sentences without changing their meaning. Thus, the correct answer is option 2, i.e., Both i and iii. Sol 131. The correct answer is option 4, i. e., D. The error lies in part D. "On behalf of" is used when someone represents something in place of someone else whereas "on the part of" is a substitute for the preposition "by" or "from". As per the meaning of the sentence, "on the part of" is the correct phrase.

Correct sentence is:
Travel delay is mostly caused by the lack of management on the part of the railways. Sol 132. The correct answer is option 2. The error lies in part 2. The sentence uses the singular noun 'group of people', which is the subject of the sentence. So, the corresponding verb cannot be in the plural form 'are distinguished', as shown in part 2. The correct verb form must be the singular form. 'is distinguished' to agree with the singular subject.
Sol 133. The error lies in the II part of the sentence. ‘Dealt’ is wrong since it is the past participle of the verb ‘deal’. Since the structure of the sentence is in present, the verb should be ‘deals’. Hence the correct answer is option 3. Correct sentence: Social justice being multifaceted, deals with various aspects of human life and society, focusing on the preservation of the rights of the handicapped, marginalized, and depressed people. Sol 134. The error lies in the III part of the sentence. According to the Subject-Verb Agreement rule which states that subjects and verbs must AGREE with one another in number (singular or plural). Thus, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is plural, its verb must also be plural. Here the subject is capacity, which is singular, hence the verb should also be singular, i.e. does. Hence the correct answer is option 1. Correct sentence: Our capacity to handle information changes with age, as does our processing speed and efficiency. Sol 135. The error lies in the II part of the sentence. ‘Has been permitting’ is wrong since it is in the present perfect continuous tense. The present perfect continuous tense which shows that something started in the past and is continuing at the present time. The present perfect continuous is formed using the construction has/have been + the present participle (root + -ing). The correct tense to be used is simple present, since the structure of the sentence is in simple present. Hence the verb should be ‘permits’. Hence the correct answer is option 4. Correct sentence: Sometimes developmentalists use a procedure called metaanalysis, which permits combining the results of many studies into one overall conclusion. Sol 136. Only part B of the sentence is grammatically correct and hence error-free. Part A is wrong because because ‘nearly’ means ‘at or to a short distance away; nearby’; the appropriate adverb is ‘nearly’ which means ‘almost’. Part C is wrong since 'crowd’ is used instead of the appropriate verb is ‘crowded’. Part D is wrong since the adjective ‘circ*mstantial: pointing indirectly towards someone's guilt but not conclusively proving it’ used instead of the plural noun ‘circ*mstances’. Hence the correct answer is option 2. Sol 137. The correct option is 2 i.e. ABD
When "the same" is used in a sentence, then it is always followed by the conjunction 'that'. So, replace which with 'that.' Hence, option 2 is the correct answer.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Correct sentence: The dress on this mannequin is the same dress

It should read as:'The country is in the grip of its worst drought in decades.' Option 4 is the correct answer. Sol 139. The correct answer is D.
The fourth part(D) is erroneous because the word 'polls' is used which is grammatically incorrect. The article 'a' is used before the word 'polls'.

The correct sentence is: The minister promised a written response to the journalist's question regarding a poll.

Sol 146. The correct answer is option 2, i. e., B. The error lies in part B. In part B, the usage of 'along' is incorrect. According to the meaning of the sentence, 'catch up' followed by 'with; should be used. 'Catch up' means to meet someone after a long time. Correct sentence:
It was good to catch up with Riya last evening after a year.
Sol 147. The correct answer is option 1, i. e., A. The error lies in part A. In part A, the use of 'onto' is grammatically incorrect. 'Count on' is a phrasal verb, meaning to depend on someone to getting something done. Here, 'counts on' perfectly suits the meaning of the sentence. Correct sentence:
Neeraj counts on Riya for this business deal as she has proved herself time and again in this matter.
Sol 148. The incorrect part of the sentence is part (3) as it contains an incorrect form of verb. The sentence is in present tense as can be seen from the use of only present forms of verbs such as the verb 'believe'. The correct verb to be used is 'buy' which is first form of the verb. Hence, the correct answer is option 3. Correct sentence: I vehemently believe that money cannot buy me happiness. Sol 149. The correct option is A.
its... Option 3 is thus the correct answer.
Sol 141. The most noticeable mistake here is ''for the make in India.'' Here we must write ''under the make in India.'' Under is used to mean ''as part of.'' So only sentence 3 is correct. Sol 142. The correct answer is 3. In the 2nd part of the sentence, it will be ‘has’ because both ‘pollution’ and ‘waste’ are singular in number. So, the verb used with it should be singular. In the 3rd part of the sentence, ‘on a scientific manner’ is grammatically wrong. The correct sentence will be: The pollution and waste created has to be tackled in a scientific manner as the region is a sensitive zone.
There is no subject-verb agreement in the sentence. The subject 'drowned bodies' is in a plural noun phrase while the verb is in the singular form. The correct phrase should be 'drowned bodies that refuse'. The correct sentence: The drowned bodies that refuse to stay submerged can be taken as a metaphor for the repressed but irrepressible female.
Sol 150. The correct answer is option 1 i.e. A.
Sol 143. The error is in the fourth part of the sentence. Using 'unless' in this sentence is wrong. So, instead of that, 'but' should be used to make a meaningful sentence since the sentence is talking about two contrasting ideas. The correct sentence will beI don't feel well but I will go to the party. Sol 144. The correct answer is option 4, i .e., D. The error lies in part D. In part D, the interior design and flooring is a part of one thing which is the decoration. This is why singular verb form 'is' should be used. Correct sentence:
The decoration of her new house including the interior design and flooring is appealing to the eyes.
Sol 145. The correct answer is option 3, i. e., C. The error lies in part C. In part C, the use of 'having' is inappropriate as per the construction of the sentence. 'Having' when precedes a verb means one is doing something. Here, something is being done to someone. In this case, 'being' is the grammatically correct verb to be used. Correct sentence:
Steve stormed out of the room after being humiliated by his boss during his presentation.
The error is in Part A of the sentence. 'Doubt/doubtful' must be must be used with 'if/whether' whenever the sentence is affirmative. But if the sentence is ''negative/interrogative'' like in this (no doubt makes it negative) sentence we must use ''doubt/doubtful'' with that. E.g It's doubtful if this painting is a Picasso. There is no doubt that grades have improved and interest in education has revived. So option 1 is correct. Correct sentence : "There is doubtful if face-to-face meetings are
the ideal form of group communication in all situations." Sol 151. Correct sentence: The patient, who has been suffering from arthritis for a long time is admitted to the hospital where she will undergo the knee replacement operation. Sol 152. Correct sentence: The cumbersome situation arrived when the school inspector during his surprise visit to the school, found some senior students without school uniform inside the classroom.

Correct sentence: Yesterday evening we went to a dance programme under the banner of a renowned dancing school, staged in the Rabindra Bhavan. Sol 155. Explanation: In part A, 'since childhood' should be there in place of 'since child', as we are referring to the time when he was a child In part B, 'diligence' should be there in place of 'diligent'. As words joined by conjunction should be the same in form and function. So a noun should be used in place of an adjective. 'academy' refers to organisation while 'academician' refers to member of academy. So while referring to a person, we should use 'academician'. Correct sentence: Since childhood, Raghu had faced a multitude of problems because of poverty, but with diligence and patience he continued his studies and today he is an academician at the university.
Sol 156.
The correct option is option 3. It should not be 'amidst' in part C. Instead of that, it should be 'to'. Sol 157. The correct answer is option 2. Only i can be used to begin the sentence correctly, without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. The phrase 'even though' means 'despite the fact that'. The correct sentences would be: i. Even though he received an excellent education at an Ivy League school and had healthy children, he killed himself by blowing his own brains out with a gun. Both ii and iii are incapable of forming a single sentence without changing the initial meaning of the sentences and therefore cannot be used. Thus, the correct answer is option 2, i.e., Only i. Sol 158. The correct answer is option 2. The error lies in part I of the sentence. The sentence is talking about 'totality of choices' i.e., a collective and singular concept. Therefore, the word 'determine' should also be singular in number, i.e., 'determines'. Thus, the correct answer is option 2, i.e., Only I. The correct sentence is: The totality of choices determines the outcomes of the game and it is assumed that the rank order of preferences for the outcomes is different for different players. Sol 159. The correct answer is option 4. The error lies in part II and part III of the sentence. In part II, the word 'interest' has been used incorrectly. The sentence talks about 'persons', which is plural. So the correct form of the word to be used here should be 'interests'. In part III, the phrase 'position in equality' is grammatically wrong and makes the sentence vague. Therefore, the option provided to us, i.e., 'position of equality' is correct and makes the sentence meaningful. Hence, the correct answer is option 4, i.e., Both II and III. The correct sentence is: They are the principles that free and rational persons, concerned to further their own interests, would accept in an initial position of equality.

Sol 160. The given sentence has two errors, which lie in parts B and C. Part B uses the plural verb 'have been', which is incorrect here, as it refers to the singular noun 'approach'. So, the correct verb should be the singular 'has been'. Part C uses the verb form 'promote' after the adjective 'growth', which is incorrect. To be meaningful, it should be in its noun form 'promotion' or progressive growth 'promoting' (similar to the 'capacity building form) Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 161. The correct answer is option 2. only iii can be used to begin the sentence correctly, without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. The correct sentences would be: iii. When people begin to recycle, they generate much less garbage. Both i and ii are not capable of joining the two sentences. The word 'though' means 'despite the fact that' and 'because' means 'for the reason that'. i does not form a grammatically correct sentence and is therefore rejected. ii changes the meaning of the initial sentences and therefore cannot be used. Thus, the correct answer is option 2, i.e., Only iii. Sol 162. The correct answer is option 1. Both i and ii can be used to begin the sentence correctly, without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. The correct sentences would be: i. We use appliances that create exhausts that are dangerous to the ozone layer even though the ozone layer is necessary for human existence. ii. In spite of the fact that the ozone layer is necessary for human existence, we use appliances that create exhausts that are dangerous to the ozone layer. The word 'since' means 'because'. It is incapable of joining the two sentences without changing the initial meaning of the sentences. Thus, iii cannot be used. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1, i.e., Both i and ii. Sol 163. The correct answer is option 2. Both i and iii can be used to begin the sentence correctly, without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. The correct sentences would be: i. When I moved to Texas, I first applied for a job, and then I looked for an apartment. iii. The first thing that I did after I moved to Texas was to apply for a job and then I looked for an apartment. ii cannot be used as it incapable of joining the two sentences without changing the initial meaning of the sentences. Thus, the correct answer is option 2, i.e., Both i and iii. Sol 164. The correct answer is '2' i.e. error lies in this part of the sentence.
In part 2 of the sentence, the usage of 'had' is incorrect Instead of it use 'have' According to grammar, when we use 'do/does/did' we generally use the first of the verb with them as the main verb. Let's see an exampleWe did not have the correct information at that time. So the correct answer is- 'The tactical air defense controllers did not have time to query the national command authority for permission to shoot.'
Sol 165. Correct option: 3 The correct order of the words in the phrase is 'even if' and not 'if even'.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Even if is an adverb clause which is used to express a concession and functions as a conjunction. For example: Even if I fail in this test, I have enough credits to pass the semester. The correct sentence will be: She must learn to cook rice, even if it’s difficult.
The error is in the subject-verb agreement of the sentence. The subject ‘Samuel' and 'Jackson’ is plural, as they refer to two separate people, denoted by the use of ‘and’ and thus the verb should also be plural. Thus, the verb ‘has’ in the second part of the sentence needs to be replaced with ‘have’ to agree with the plural subject.
Sol 166. The error lies in part 1 only. Part 1 uses 'to' which is incorrect here as the correct phrase is 'in talks with'. Parts 2 and 3 are grammatically correct sentences and hence do not require any correction. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. Sol 167. On a careful reading, we understand that the second sentence is in support with the first sentence. The first sentence tells us that that the export growth of India has decreased in April. The second reason gives the reason for the same – shipments of engineering goods, gems and jewellery, leather and other products have decreased. Phrases (I) and (III) cannot be used to join the two sentences. Phrase (II) is the most suitable and the sentences can be combined as follows: India's export growth slid to a four-month low of 0.64% in April as shipments of engineering goods, gems and jewellery, leather and other products declined. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 168. The sentence is in the past tense, so we need to check whether a subject is singular or plural. We take a singular verb if the subject is singular else we opt for a plural verb. In the second part of the sentence, it is clearly mentioned that there were not one or two but many colourful frames, here the error is in sentence 3. Instead of was we should add were. The correct answer is "When I went to the market, I saw a number of colourful frames were displayed in the store window". Hence the correct answer is option 3. Sol 169. The correct answer is option 2. While as conjunction can be used to mean ‘during the same time that something is happening’. So, we can join sentences A and B using while. While various groups in the US and Europe are working on hardware for detecting cancer, the IIT Madras group has used the popular method of ‘Deep Learning’ for the same. The word which can be used to join the sentences C and D as we are talking about X-ray scans and MRI scans: The method is seen as a portable, affordable and safe alternative to X-ray scans and MRI scans which are used to detect cancer tissues. Sol 170. The correct answer is option (2).
The error is in the subject verb agreement of the sentence. The subject ‘Sanjay nor his father’ is singular as denoted by the use of the word ‘nor’ and thus the verb too should be singular. The verb ‘are’ in the second part of the sentence is plural and needs to be replaced with ‘is’ to agree with the singular subject. Correct sentence: "Neither Sanjay nor his father is glad about the
fact that he got into Harvard University. " Sol 171. The correct answer is option (2)i.e. B
Error Spotting
Correct sentence: "Both Samuel and Jackson could not have
chosen a better period to go on vacation to Hawaii."
Sol 172. The correct answer is option 3, i.e. C.
The error lies in part C. As a rule, if some part of the verb to be could be employed as a connector, the adjective is required. Here, the verb ‘felt’ is a connector. Therefore, the adjective form ‘warm’ is the correct word rather than the adverb form ‘warmly.’ Correct sentence: "Although the wooden lodge at the top of the hill was cold, we felt warm thanks to the heater in the room."
Sol 173. The correct answer is option (3).
There is an error in the subject-verb agreement of the sentence. The subject of the sentence ‘Carol’ is singular. Thus, the verb ‘were’ in the third part of the sentence must be replaced with ‘was’ to agree with the singular subject. Correct sentence: "After a day of strenuous exercise, Carol
decided that she was deserving of an ice-cream. "
Sol 174. The correct answer is option 1, i.e. A. The error lies in part A. Here the objective form ‘whom’ rather than the nominative form ‘who’ is to be used. Correct sentence: The student, whom his teachers thought so highly of, has failed to win the first prize. Sol 175. The correct sentence is 'A' i.e. error lies in part A of the sentence
According to grammar, 'who' is a relative pronoun that is used for the subjective case i.e he. Here instead of the subjective case 'he' the objective case him is used. Therefore the error lies in the usage of him instead of he. In the given sentence the person whom we are referring to is the subject, there him should be replaced with he. So the correct sentence is: It might have been he who had
https://amzn.to/350yFZS informed the Principal that the students were cheating during the examination. Sol 176. The correct answer is 'B' i.e. error lies in part B of the sentence.
When two nouns in the possessive case are in apposition, the apostrophe with s is added to the second noun only. Here the two nouns ‘sister’ and ‘Pooja’ are in apposition. Therefore, only the noun Pooja should have the apostrophe. So the correct sentence is: This is my sister Pooja’s watch which was stolen from her house a few months ago.
Sol 177. While is used to express contrast. Because of is used to give a reason for something. Whether is used to express a doubt or choice between alternatives. The two sentences clearly provide a hint of contrast. The meaning that is being conveyed here is that a national-level management policy is welcome but as a solitary fact, it cannot help us to clean our oceans. We need other things as well. While can be used in the following way to form a compound sentence that will highlight the same meaning: While a national-level management policy is welcome, there are other things that need to be done as far as cleaning up our oceans are concerned. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 178. The correct answer is option (3) i.e. C.
Explanation: Only part C of the sentence is grammatically correct and hence error-free. Part A is wrong since the present continuous tense of the verb 'babble’, i.e. babbling, is used instead of the simple present tense 'babble’. The structure of the sentence is in simple present tense. Part B is wrong since singular form 'repeats’ is used instead of 'repeat’ which is against the subject-verb agreement rule. Part D is wrong since the preposition 'along’ is used instead of the appropriate preposition 'from’. Correct sentence : " When they babble, infants repeat the same vowel sound over and over, changing the pitch from high to low. "
Sol 179. The correct answer is option 1 i.e. only A.
The error is in part A of the sentence. The verb 'undertook' in 'simple past tense' and must be replaced with the verb in past participle form 'undertaken' as 'has' been mentioned here. According to the grammar, Present perfect tense takes the first form of Verb with 'has/have' (Subj + 'has/have' + v3 + obj) He said his government has undertook. (wrong)
Error Spotting He said his government has undertaken.
Correct sentence: " He said his government has undertaken the construction of gas grids to fulfil the dream of the country's youth for a future made possible through modern technology. "
Sol 180. The correct answer is option 3, i. e., C. The error lies in part C. When a past modal is used like should, would or could, "have" is used. Here, "has" is used which is grammatically incorrect. Correct sentence:
Seeing his result, Jenny's parents think that he should have studied harder before his board examination.
Sol 181. The correct answer is option 4. Only i can be used to connect the sentences correctly, without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. The phrase 'even though' means 'despite the fact that'. It joins the two sentences meaningfully. The correct sentence would be: i. Falguni started looking for a new job even though she was currently employed. Both ii and iii are incapable of joining the two sentences without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. The word 'because' is used to indicate 'for the reason that'. It does not fit the context. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, i.e., Only i. Sol 182. The correct option is 2. The error is in the subject verb agreement of the sentence. The subject ‘litter of puppies’ is singular. The verb in the second part of the sentence-‘are’ needs to be replaced by ‘is’ to make the verb agree with the singular subject. Sol 183. The correct answer is option 2, i.e. B. The error lies in part B. In comparing two things or classes of things, the comparative ‘wealthier’ should be used. Correct sentence: Between Mumbai and Chennai, the former is the wealthier of the two and has been so since the country’s independence. Sol 184. The correct option is 3. The error is in the subject verb agreement of the sentence. When there are 2 different subjects that are joined by or/nor and are different in number, the subject closer to the verb decides whether the verb will be singular or plural, here that is ‘Cabinet of Ministers’ and thus the verb ‘was’ will be replaced by ‘were’ to agree with the plural subject. Sol 185. 1st part of the sentence is erroneous. Option 1 -a- is the answer It should be The Finance Minister's view-- as possession is denoted using an --apostrophe. Sol 186. As the sentence is properly structured and follows all grammatical rules,the sentence is error free. Option 5 is the answer. Sol 187. No grammatical errors can be found in the given sentence. So No error is the correct option. Hence option 5-E is the answer. Sol 188. The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Part A. The correct sentence is 'The Justice J.S. Verma Committee, which was constituted in 2013 in the aftermath of the Nirbhaya case, after due deliberations found itself against the imposition of the death penalty in rape cases'. The error lies in Part A because of the wrong usage of the pronoun 'who' which is used to indicate a person. Here,
https://amzn.to/350yFZS we are talking about a committee. Therefore, use the pronoun 'which' to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
Sol 189. The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Part A.
The error lies in the part A of the sentence. The reason we use 'were' instead of 'was' is because the sentence is in the subjunctive mood which is used for hypothetical situations. It means we use were with expressions that are hypothetical, wishful, imagined, desired, doubtful, and otherwise contrary to fact—that is to say, not real. Example : I wish I were the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. He wishes his grammar were better. Hence, the correct option is option 1. The correct sentence is 'If I were politician, I would support and create laws or policies that govern the land and by extension, its
people and would do everything I could to help the people'.
These phrases are never correct: I wish I was, I wish it was, he wishes he was, she wishes she was.
Sol 190. The error lies in part C of the sentence as the article 'a' is incorrect before the adjective in superlative form 'slowest'. We always use the article 'the' with the adjective in superlative form. It should read as: '..expenditure grew at the slowest rate,..' Option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 191. The correct answer is '1' i.e. 'error lies in the first part of the sentence.'
Error Spotting
I decided not to go to London. So the correct sentence is:- The challenge before India is to deepen the tactical engagement with China keeping strategic glitches at bay.
Sol 193. The error lies in part C of the sentence as the adjective 'surprising' is incorrect and must be replaced with the adverb 'surprisingly' to make the sentence correct. The word acts on the verb 'known' thus an adverb should be used here. It should read as:'...World Heritage status, surprisingly little is ..' Option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 194. The error lies in part 2 of the sentence as the verb 'had come' in past perfect is incorrect and must be replaced with the verb in simple past tense,'came' as the sentence mentions an activity which took place in a particular year. For eg: I completed my graduation in 2017. I shifted to Bangalore in 2013. It should read as:'In 2014, India's current Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to power promising a tough line on Pakistan, but also showed interest in holding peace talks.' Option 2 is the correct answer. Sol 195. The error lies in part 4 of the sentence as the article 'a' is missing before the word 'whole.' The correct phrase is 'as a whole' which means 'as a single unit and not as separate parts'. For eg: The girls were not awarded individually but as a whole. It should read as:'Promoting entrepreneurship and innovation is a key priority not just in Dubai but the Arabian Gulf as a whole.' Option 4 is the correct answer. Sol 196. The correct answer is 'C' i.e. error lies in part C of the sentence.
In part C of the sentence, the usage of 'eldest' is incorrect Instead use 'oldest'
Elder and eldest apply to persons only and are confined to members of the same family while older and oldest may be said either of persons or of things. So the correct sentence is: A 104-year-old farmer from the Vidharba region is the oldest inhabitant of the country.
Sol 197. The correct option is option 1. In the given sentence, the usage of 'are' is incorrect Instead of it use 'is' According to grammar, the verb should be according to the subject if the subject is plural then, use a plural verb and if the subject is singular then use a singular verb. In the given sentence, the subject 'eating' which is a gerund/noun 'Intuitive' is an adjective that is used to qualify a noun/gerund 'eating' So usage of a singular verb is correct.
→
So the correct sentence is Intuitive eating is the anti-diet because it is designed (3)/ to heal rather than fix.
The error is in the preposition of the sentence. The given phrase ‘due for’ means needing, requiring, or expecting something to happen. For example:- He will be due for another raise in June. Thus, it is incorrect as per the context of the given sentence. The sentence implies that Schools and colleges will be closed because of the ongoing cyclone. Thus needs 'due for' must be replaced with ‘due to’ which means ‘because of’ to make the sentence meaningful.
Sol 192. The correct answer is '2' i.e. error lies in this part of the sentence.
Correct sentence: "Due to the ongoing cyclone, schools and
In part 2 of the sentence, the usage of 'deepening' is incorrect Instead, use 'deepen'
Sol 198. The correct answer is option 1, i.e. A.
colleges will be closed until further notice."
According to grammar, whenever we have an infinitive phrase we need to use the base form of the verb with the preposition 'to' i.e. 'to + V1' Let's see an example-
The error lies in part A.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Less denotes quantity while fewer denotes number. Here, 'fewer' is the correct word as a number is involved. Correct sentence: "No fewer than two thousand soldiers from both Pakistan and India were reported to have died in the Kargil
conflict." Sol 199. The correct option is 3.
The error is in the verb of the sentence in terms of the tense. The sentence is in the present continuous tense. Thus the verb ‘fell’ should be replaced with ‘falling’ to make it agree with the sentence. Correct sentence: "Jacob used to be a very aggressive person, but falling in love with Amanda has brought down his aggression
considerably." Sol 200. The correct answer is 4- the error lies in this part.
Here, Satish is the one referred to in the second clause of the sentence. It is a singular subject and hence the verb following it should be singular. Thus, we can see that 'were' needs to be replaced with 'was'.
Sol 201. The error lies in part 2 of the sentence as the plural verb 'provide' is incorrect and does not agree with the singular subject 'industrial development.' The correct verb should be 'provides'. Eg: The support of the members has always been a big help. It should read as:'The first important role is that industrial development provides a secure basis for a rapid growth of income.' Option 2 is the correct answer. Sol 202. The error lies in part 4 of the sentence as the words 'set back' are incorrect and must be replaced with the word 'setback' which means 'problem; hindrance'. It should read as 'Combined with the stagnation in the share of manufacturing in GDP at a relatively low level, the record points to a setback in industrial development.' eg: Missing even one payment can be a huge setback when trying to increase your credit score.
Option 4 is the correct answer.
Sol 203. The error lies in part 3 of the sentence as the word 'service' must be in plural form 'services' as two services are mentioned in the sentence. Eg: They have facilities such as free gym, open playgrounds for children and varieties of shops in the same campus. It should read as:'A business incubator is a system that helps start-up companies to grow by providing services such as management training and even office space.' Option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 204. The error lies in part 1 of the sentence as the plural verb 'were' is incorrect and must be replaced with the singular verb 'was' to make it agree with the singular subject 'result.' Eg: It should read as:'A demographic result was the shifting of the destination of American migration from Upper Canada to Ohio, Indiana and Michigan, without fear of Indian attacks.' Option 1 is the correct answer.
Error Spotting
Sol 205. The error lies in part 3 of the sentence as the word 'for' needs to be replaced with 'while.' The sentence talks about two contrasting situations thus 'while' is the correct word to be used. Eg: Lenin was not aware of the process while Oliver knew all about the registration method. It should read as:'Being educated helps in deciding why to vote for a particular party over the other while uneducated people are unaware of the importance of choosing the right people to vote for. ' Option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 206. The error lies in part 2 of the sentence as the preposition 'to' is missing after the word 'forward.' One looks forward 'to' something. For eg : Oliver was looking forward to meeting his daughter after so many days. It should read as: 'The mother of four has been looking forward to doing her PhD in leadership and innovation at Plymouth in the UK since she finished her master’s degree in 2010.' Option 2 is the correct answer. Sol 207. The error lies in part 3 of the sentence as the conjunction 'as' is incorrect and must be replaced with the correct conjunction 'but' to convey the correct meaning. For eg: She focused not on the outcome of the situation but on her personal development as a result of it. It should read as:'That form of liberty focused not on the virtues of citizens but on protecting their rights from infringement by the state.' Option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 208. The sentence has no error. It has been structured correctly and needs no change.Option 5 is the correct answer. Sol 209. The error lies in part 3 of the sentence as the adjective 'heavy' is incorrect here and must be replaced with the adverb 'heavily' as it acts upon the verb 'investing.' Adjectives act on nouns. Eg: The food is delicious. Adverbs act on verbs. Eg: The boy was dancing swiftly. It should read as:'Under the smart city umbrella, Dubai has also been investing heavily in technology-based healthcare.' Option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 210. The error lies in part 2. The sentence uses the form' to be close', which is incorrect. Since the sentence uses the form 'to be' before 'close', the correct form here must be the verb form 'closed' meaning 'not open'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. The corrected sentence is: The aforementioned position was to be
closed for the candidates possessing a score of 160 or lower. Sol 211.
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Esotoric. Explanation
Esoteric which means "intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with specialized knowledge or interest" has been spelt incorrectly as Esotoric here. Remaining words:-

It best fits in position D to signify the Australian forests. So, A and D should interchange. Again ‘which’ is a pronoun used to refer to something previously mentioned when introducing a clause giving further information. It is best suited for position E. it gives further information regarding the released carbon dioxide. So, C and E should interchange. Correct Sentence - (D) These global warming-induced intense fires (B) have also triggered a vicious cycle, wherein the Australian forests (C) may require decades to regenerate (A) their cover and absorb back the carbon dioxide released,(E) which, meanwhile, will keep affecting the increase in temperatures. Sol 234. The correct answer is option 3 i.e. A-C. We can look into the sentence in the following way: The (A) _____________ of damages and the (B) ____________ of the Australian wildfires have (C) ___________ the catastrophe caused by the (D) ______ in Brazilian Amazon (E) _____________ and in California in the United States. Let us look into the meanings of the first three highlighted words – Dwarfed – cause to seem small or insignificant in comparison. Intensity – the quality of being intense. Extent – the area covered by something. D and E are in their correct positions, which can negate options 2 and 4. From the above meanings, it is clear that B is also in the correct position negating options 1 and 5 as viable answers. For the sentence to be correct contextually, A and C need to interchange based on their meanings. Correct Sentence - The (C) extent of damages and the (B) intensity of the Australian wildfires have (A) dwarfed the catastrophe caused by the (D) fires in Brazilian Amazon (E) forests and in California in the United States. Sol 235.

When we study the sentence, we can see that ‘mass stranded’ and ‘evacuations at seashores’ may look grammatically correct phrases when they stand alone, but contextually and grammatically they don’t fit the sentence. ‘Evacuations’ mean the action of evacuating a person or a place. ‘Stranded’ means leave (someone) without the means to move from somewhere. Thus, C and D need to interchange. Correct Sentence - (A) More than 10 million hectares of forestland have (B) burnt down across the country, leading to mass (D) evacuations and thousands of people (C) stranded at seashores, considering it (E) safer. Sol 236. The correct answer is option 1 i.e. A-E and B-C.

The part after blank A states that there has been an increase in heat waves and droughts. Thus, it can be concluded that contextually, ‘increasing’ is a better-fit word to show the trend in summer temperatures. So, A-E. Again, ‘reeling waves’ is an incorrect term. The correct term is ‘heat waves’, which implies that B and C should interchange. So, B-C.
Error Spotting
Thus, the correct answer is option 1- A-E and B-C. Correct Sentence - With Australia’s average summer temperatures(E) increasing, there has been an increase in the frequency and intensity of (C) heat waves and droughts and vast parts of the country were (B) reeling under a (D) drought for three years with (A) declining average rainfall levels.
Sol 237. The correct answer is option 2 i.e. C-E and B-D.

Let us look into the meaning of the highlighted words – Starting – beginning Alarming – worrying or disturbing. Suffered – experience or be subjected to (something bad or unpleasant). Erupted – break out suddenly and dramatically. Typical – having the distinctive qualities of a particular type of person or thing. A is in the correct position as it defines the beginning of the situation under discussion. B is not correct. It needs a word that would describe the sudden appearance of the bush fires. Thus, B and D need to interchange as ‘erupted’ is a better fit. C needs an adjective while E needs a verb. The adjective would define the type of ‘annual season’, while the verb would show the problems faced by the country. Thus, C and E should interchange to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Thus, the correct answer is option 2 – C-E and B-D. Correct Sentence - (A) Starting in August 2019, this time, bushfires (D) erupted several months earlier than the (E) typical “annual season” of wildfire, and with an (B) alarming enormity spread, and severity even as the country (C) suffered from its hottest and driest year so far.

We can look into the sentence in the following way: The climate crisis has (A) ________ the traditional narrative of such “normality” like (B) _________ fires in current eco-fiction, (C) _________ such events as (D) ________ and beyond the limits of the (E) ________ of ecosystems. E has the correct word in both grammatical and contextual sense. A needs a verb that would signify how the traditional narrative has been affected. Thus, ‘changed’ is the correct word for it. So, A-B. Putting ‘forest’ before fires also makes contextual sense as it defines the type of fires under discussion. Again, C needs a verb while D needs an adjective. Thus, C and D should interchange. ‘Exacerbating’ is a verb meaning make (a problem, bad situation, or negative feeling) worse. ’Disastrous’ is an adjective meaning causing great damage. Thus, the correct answer is option 4 – A-B and C-D. Correct Sentence - The climate crisis has (B) changed the traditional narrative of such “normality” like (A) forest fires in current eco-fiction, (D) exacerbating such events as (C) disastrous and beyond the limits of the (E) resilience of ecosystems.

A, C and E have the correct words in both grammatical and contextual sense. The second blank needs a verb while the fourth blank needs an adjective to describe the type of consumers. Thus, B and D should interchange to make the sentence correct. This makes option 3 – B-D the correct answer.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Correct Sentence - The (A) proponents of the consumer friendliness of the government must (D) recall that the “illusion” of this acceptable limit of inflation (C) potentially rests upon the savings of the (B) common consumers, which the government is (E) unduly misemploying for its own gains.

Norms mean rules which are correctly used in A. C also justifies the bold word. E is also grammatically correct and meaningful as it correctly highlights the roles. Clearly, B requires a verb and D requires a noun. So, we need to interchange B and D. The correct sentence isSocietal (A) norms also make it more difficult for women to network as (B) easily as men since they will often have to (C) combine their business (D) venture with their (E) roles as mothers and wives, or caregivers for other older family members. Sol 241. The correct answer is option 5 i.e. A-B. We can look into the sentence in the following way: (A) ___________, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has (B) _________ repeatedly about the increased (C) __________ of forest fires due to (D) ________ change, in its (E) __________ reports, 2007 onwards. It is evident that C, D and E are in their correct positions in the sentence. This negates options 1 to 4. ‘Reportedly’ means according to what some say while ‘warned’ means to inform someone in advance of a possible danger, problem, or other unpleasant situation. Thus, A and B should interchange. Correct Sentence - (B) Reportedly, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has (A) warned repeatedly about the increased (C) frequency of forest fires due to (D) climate change, in its (E) assessment reports, 2007 onwards.

into account in deciding something.
Devolved means transferred or delegated (power) to a lower level, especially from central government to local or regional administration. Implications means conclusions that can be drawn from something although it is not explicitly stated. Competencies mean abilities to do something successfully or efficiently. It is clear that A and B are correct. Also, E justifies the bold word. C requires a verb in the past tense which means 'transferred power to a lower level'. D requires noun. 'Implications' is a noun. 'Devolved' is a verb. Hence, need to interchange C and D to make the sentence correct. Corrected sentence - These (A) insights into systems structures, as well as (B) considerations of democratic governance in which governance should be (C) devolved to national governments, and, within them, to State governments, and even to the third tier

Methodology is a noun meaning "a system of methods used in a particular area of study or activity." It is clear that (A) and (B) has grammatically and meaningfully correct words. Also (C) justifies its bold word. But from the point of view of grammar, D should be a verb and E should be an adjective. Measure means "take an exact quantity of something." There is a "to" before D and this indicates that a verb should follow, there is no other verb in that part of the sentence. "To" is used with the base form of a verb to indicate that the verb is in the infinitive. Massive means "exceptionally large." Hence D and E should be interchanged. Correct sentence: (A)According to the World Bank, India (B)accounted for the world's largest number of poor people in 2012 using revised (C)methodology to (D)measure poverty,
reflecting its (E)massive population. Sol 244. The correct answer is A-C, B-D
Reading the sentence we find that: The preposition between combines with the conjunction and & the preposition from combines with to. So from and between will be exchanged. The Silk Road in the given context cannot be credited as a major trade route. It can only serve as a major trade route. Therefore A is replaced with C and vice versa.

Sol 263. The correct answer is option 2 i.e. untelled. The word 'untold' which means 'boundless' or 'measureless' has been spelled incorrectly. There is no word as 'untelled'. Sol 264. The correct answer is option 2) i.e. A-D. Let us look at the sentence in the following wayDisturbed by the (A) _______ of communities within it, the nationstate tries to (B) ______ their (C) ______ and to (D) _______ itself as the only (E) ______ of security of all.

Meanings of the words in bold are: Proclaim means announce officially or publicly. Repress means subdue (someone or something) by force. Demands means insistent requests; commands. Claims means assertions that something is
true; declarations. Guarantor means a person or thing that gives or acts as a guarantee.
It is clear that B and C are correct. Also, E justifies the bold word. A requires a noun while D requires a verb. 'Claims' is a noun in the plural form that fits A. 'Proclaim' is a verb. Hence, we need to interchange A and D to make the sentence correct.
Corrected sentence - Disturbed by the (A) claims of communities within it, the nation-state tries to (B) repress their (C) demands and to (D) proclaim itself as the only (E) guarantor of security of all.
Sol 265. The correct answer is option 2) A-B. Let us look at the sentence in the following wayThe only thing (A) _________ the (B) _________ of such (C) _________ and valuable (D) _________ is a lack of planning and strategic (E) _________. Meanings of the words given in bold are: Utilization means the action of making practical and effective use of something. Prohibiting means formally forbidding (something) by law, rule, or other authority. Precious means of great value; not to be
wasted or treated carelessly.
Manpower means the number of people working or available for work or service. Foresight means the ability to predict what will happen or be needed in the future. It is clear that C and D are correct. Also, E justifies the bold word. A requires a verb that means 'denying something'. B requires a noun. Prohibiting is a verb. Utilization is a noun. Hence, we need to interchange A and B to make the sentence correct. Corrected sentence - The only thing (A) prohibiting the (B) utilization of such (C) precious and valuable (D) manpower is a lack of planning and strategic (E) foresight.
Sol 266. Out of the given sentences, the only correct sentence is 1. The rule when using 'neither-nor' is to use them after the main verb, and there is no need to use the main verb again and again. So, option 2 is incorrect. Note that 'but' and 'for' are used differently in this sentence. 'But', which is usually a conjunction, is used as a preposition here. 'For', which is generally used as a preposition is used as a conjunction here, which is an archaic English usage. 'For', here, means 'because'. The options 3 and 4 use the conjunctions 'than' and 'unless', which change the meaning of the sentence. Also, using 'either-or' in option 5 turns the sentence positive, and hence also changes the meaning. So, none of them, can be grammatically correct. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. Sol 267. The error lies in part 1. The sentence uses the form 'little does' one know, which is incorrect here. As the sentence uses the past tense verb 'was', the correct form here should be 'little did' the King know. 'Little did/does one know' is a way of expressing the ignorance of a person about something. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS The corrected sentence is: Little did the King know that an evil
plan was already being hatched in his palace at that moment.
Sol 268. The correct answer is option 4) i.e. A-E. Let us look at the sentence in the following waySomehow, India's virtual beliefs elbow out (A) ______ actualities. Inverted representations, as we know, have often been (B) ______ in human histories as (C) ______ for the forsaken– religion being the most (D) ______ of such (E) ______ . Meanings of the words given in bold are: Inversions mean the action of inverting something or the state of being inverted. Deployed means brought into effective action. Balm means something that has a soothing
or restorative effect.
Persistent means continuing firmly or obstinately in an opinion or course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition. Concrete means specific; definite. It is clear that B and C are correct. Also, D justifies the bold word. A requires an adjective that describes the actualities. E requires a noun that refers to the inverted representations. Inversion is a noun. Concrete is an adjective. Hence, we need to interchange A and E. Corrected sentence - Somehow, India's virtual beliefs elbow out (A) concrete actualities. Inverted representations, as we know, have often been (B) deployed in human histories as (C) balm for the forsaken– religion being the most (D) persistent of such (E) inversions.
Sol 269. The error lies in part 4. The sentence uses the preposition 'to' after the verb form 'to be proven', which, given the context of the sentence is unnecessary. It should be 'to be proven disastrous' and not 'to be proven to disastrous'. Note here that both past participle forms 'proved' and 'proven' are correct. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. The corrected sentence will be: He was aware that the oath he
had taken was soon to be proven disastrous.
Sol 270. The error is in 4. The same auxiliary verb can be used for two different verbs only when it agrees with those verbs in number. Here, the auxiliary verb 'were' is used for the verb 'rejected' (used for the plural noun 'ideas') as well as the verb 'dismissed' (used for the singular noun 'project'). This is incorrect. Since the two verbs 'rejected' and ' dismissed' are used for nouns that differ in number, they must be used with different auxiliary verbs. So, the correct sentence will be 'He tried very hard to strengthen his position in the Head Committee, but all his ideas were rejected and his only project was dismissed'. Sol 271. The error in the sentence lies in part (II). The word 'enter' does not take any preposition and therefore, 'into' should be removed from the sentence to make it grammatically correct. Thus, the correct option is 2. The correct sentence will be: After parking the car we entered the house through the front door Sol 272. The given sentence has one error, which lies in part A. The part A uses the present perfect tense verb 'has lost', which is incorrect here. Since the sentence uses teh past tense verb 'advised', the first verb must also be in its past perfect tense form, viz, 'had lost'. So, the errorless combination is BCD. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
Error Spotting
Sol 273. The correct answer is option 2. In part B of the sentence, the word 'peoples' is the error. It should be 'people' than 'peoples'. The word 'people' can sometimes be plural, but in the context of the sentence, it indicates a large group of some kind, like a group of friends, strangers or family members, or a group of countrymen like Indian people. Thus, it is the correct form of the word to be used than 'peoples'. The word 'peoples' are indicative of a group of people such as Indian and British peoples(groups of people taken together), which is unlike the definition of 'people'. Thus, this form of the word is incorrect in this sentence. Sol 274. The correct option is option 1 because the use of 'She is working' is wrong. It should be 'She has been working' because we use the present perfect continuous tense to talk about actions and situations that started in the past and have continued up to the present. Sol 275. The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 'error lies in the first part of the sentence.' Whenever 'enough' is used as a determiner it is placed before a noun which it determines. E.g. There were not enough men in the room or I am not able to earn enough money. But, whenever 'enough' is used as an adverb it is placed after the verb/adjective/adverb it modifies. E.g. She was tall enough to be allowed in the ride. Here, we need to place 'enough' after 'tall' as it acts as a determiner(adverb) here. So the correct sentence is: Society has seen enough clashes among the people of different religions and wants to maintain peace and harmony.
Sol 276. The correct answer is option 3. Explanation The error lies in part 3 of the sentence where the plural verb 'are' is incorrect and needs to be replaced with 'is' to make the sentence grammatically correct. Since 'each' has been used here the verb needs to be singular.
Sol 277. The correct answer is option 1.
The error lies in part 1 of the sentence where the adjective 'miserly' is missing. Even though it 'miserly' has suffix 'ly', it is an adjective and not an adverb. The sentence should read: 'She is a miserly person...'.
Note: If we don't use the adjective miserly, we may write the sentence as - "She is a miser who...." . Both are correct. The word 'miser' is a noun. Correct sentence: "She is a miserly person who would not spend
a single penny on the education of her children." Sol 278. Here, ‘had not’ is a wrong usage as the sentence is talking about recent years which include the present year too. So here it should ‘has not’. So option 3 is the correct answer.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS
Error Spotting
Sol 279. Here the sentence starts with a negative word ‘No sooner’. So whenever any sentence begins with negative word auxiliary verb is put before the subject. So here it should be ‘no sooner did we reach the auditorium’ or 'no sooner had we reached the ..' so option 1 is the correct answer. go through the link given below to understand the concept of bare infinitives in a better way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOf0VwtGrnQ
Sol 285. The correct answer is option 2. Superior is always followed by the preposition 'to'. No other preposition is used after superior. Thus, the error is in the second part of the sentence.
Sol 280. In the second part of the given sentence ‘by’ should be replaced with preposition ‘with’ which is used indicate being together or being involved. So option 2 is the correct answer.
Explanation: We can look at the sentence in the following way: The _______ (A) was full of people out of _______ (B) houses to buy _______ (C) despite there being strict curfew _______ (D).
Sol 286. The correct answer is option 2 i.e. A-D and C-B
Sol 281. Here this sentence has ‘hardly’ which always uses conjunction ‘when’ with it. So third part of the sentence has error in it and hence option 3 is the correct answer.
Rules: A set of explicit or understood regulations about behaviour and procedure. 'Rules' is a plural noun, so it needs to be followed by a plural verb(subject-verb agreement). "Rules was" is grammatically and contextually incorrect. Groceries: Items sold in a supermarket, items of daily need. The blank is followed by a noun (houses) and so the blank requires a pronoun (their). "Groceries houses" is grammatically incorrect. Their: A possessive pronoun used to refer to more than one person. This is a pronoun and thus needs to be followed by a noun, which is not the case in the given sentence. Marketplace: An open space where a market is held or was held. A 'curfew marketplace' is not a category of marketplaces. This is also incorrect.
Sol 282. the correct answer is option 4.
The error is in part 4 as a superlative has been included, whereas the context of the sentence requires a simple positive adjective 'big'. Correct sentence : "Please do not try to scare the toddler with your big eyes."
We use a superlative adjective to describe the extreme quality of one thing in a group of things. We can use superlative adjectives when talking about three or more things (not two things). Positive adjectives are words that are used to describe something in a positive light. These words can emphasize how good a certain something is. Rather than simply expressing a bland meaning, a positive adjective can bring a more detailed and dramatic meaning to something.
Sol 283. The error is in the sequence of the words ‘not only has conquered’. The correct sentence should be ‘He has conquered not only the Mount Everest but also the Kanchenjunga’. Notice that ‘ not only...but also’ is a correlative conjunction. When such a type of conjunction is used in a sentence, the correlated words (not only... but also, either...or, neither...nor) should be placed immediately before the words to be connected. Thus, ‘not only’ has to be placed before the noun ‘Mount Everest’ like ‘but also’ before ‘Kanchenjunga’. Thus the error is in the first part of the sentence. Sol 284. The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 'The combination is Both A-C and B-D.' Explanation The combination of a pair A-C i.e. 'Impartial' and 'Positive' both are adjectives in which 'impartial' means 'treating equally' and 'positive' means 'expressing affirmation' hence when we keep these meanings in the sentence then it will make sense. The combination of a pair B-D i.e. 'resolution' and 'evaluation' both are nouns in which 'resolution' means 'a firm decision' and 'evaluation' means 'assess' hence when we keep these meanings in the sentence then it will make sense. So the correct sentence is: The decision by the 73rd World Health Assembly to undertake an ‘impartial, independent and comprehensive evaluation’ of the handling of the Covid-19 pandemic is a positive move. China, despite its initial objections, has accepted and supported the resolution.
Hence, we need to interchange A-D and also C-B in order to make the sentence contextually correct So the Correct Answer is: The marketplace was full of people out of their houses to buy groceries despite there being strict curfew rules.
Sol 287. The correct answer is option 1 i.e. B-A. We can look at the sentence in the following way: The _______ (A) to the _______ (B) brightened up Nancy's mood _______ (C). Theatre: A building or an area that has plays and other performances. A 'theatre' is a place and does not fit here contextually or grammatically. Drive: A trip or a journey in a car. Although we need a noun here and 'drive' is a noun, it makes the sentence contextually and grammatically incorrect. Immediately: At once or instantly. Hence, we need to interchange A and B in order to make the sentence contextually correct. Correct Sentence: The drive (A) to the theatre (B) brightened up Nancy's mood immediately (C).
Sol 288. The correct answer is option 1 i.e. BCA Explanation: We can look at the sentence in the following way: The _______ (A) of the RBC transports _______ (B) from the _______ (C) to all the cells of the body. Lungs: A pair of air-filled organs located on either side of the chest. The RBC is a type of cell and cannot have its own set of lungs. Haemoglobin: A protein that is found in red blood cells (RBC) that carry oxygen in a human body. Haemoglobin does not transport anything, it is a carrier of oxygen. Oxygen: A colourless, odourless gas that is a chemical element that supports life. Haemoglobin is not transported from oxygen, oxygen is transported through haemoglobin. Hence A and B have to be interchanged, then C and A have to be interchanged to make the sentence contextually correct. Correct sentence: The haemoglobin (B) of the RBC transports oxygen (C) from the lungs (A) to the cells of the body.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Sol 289. The correct answer is option 1), i.e. A-C. We can go through the sentence the following way: Far from being (A)________ and (B)________, plants are social and (C)________, above (D)________ and beneath, through their (E)________ and fungal networks. Passive means accepting or allowing what happens or what others do, without active response or resistance. So, B is contextually correct. Clearly, D and E have contextually correct and meaningful words. Communicative means expressive. It is clear that both the words i.e. communicative and silent are contextually incorrect. So, D and E should be interchanged. The correct sentence: Far from being (A) silent and (B) passive, plants are social and (C) communicative, above (D) ground and beneath, through their (E) roots and fungal networks. Sol 290. The correct answer is option 1), i.e. A-E. We can go through the sentence the following way: It is a botanical (A)________ where humans are (B)________ to learn how to be a better species by (C)_________ the (D)________ of our (E)________ fellow organisms. Observing means noticing. So, C is contextually correct. Clearly, B and D have contextually correct and meaningful words. Verdant means grassy / covered with healthy green plants or grass. Utopia means an ideal place. It is clear that both the words i.e. Verdant and utopia are contextually incorrect. Hence, A and E should be interchanged. The correct sentence: It is a botanical (A) utopia where humans are (B) invited to learn how to be a better species by (C) observing the (D) behaviour of our (E) verdant fellow organisms. Sol 291. The correct answer is option 2), i.e. C-E. We can go through the sentence the following way: While our (A)________ priority is (B)________ the (C)________ of coronavirus, we must (D)________ our (E)________ to level up the country. Combating means fighting. So, B is contextually correct. Clearly, A and D have contextually correct and meaningful words. Both the words i.e. work and spread are not making the sentence meaningful. Hence, C and E should be interchanged. The correct sentence: While our (A) current priority is (B) combating the (C) spread of coronavirus, we must (D) continue our (E) work to level up the country. Sol 292. The correct answer is option 4), i.e. C-E. We can go through the sentence the following way: The (A)________ and invariably (B)________ process of (C)________ will be carried out at (D)________ the wrong time of the year, flying in the face of (E)________ standards. Flawed means faulty. So, A is contextually correct. Clearly, B and D also have contextually correct and meaningful words. Professional means expert. Translocation means movement. It is clear that both the words i.e. Professional and Translocation are not contextually correct. Hence, C and E should be interchanged. The correct sentence: The (A) flawed and invariably (B) unsuccessful process of (C) translocation will be carried out at (D) completely wrong time of the year, flying in the face of (E) professional standards. Sol 293. The correct answer is option 4), i.e. C-D. We can go through the sentence the following way: (A)________ over land and natural (B)________ have been (C)________ for some time, sometimes (D)________ to (E)________ violence. Murderous means brutal or violent.
Error Spotting
Clearly, E has a meaningful word. Also, A and B have contextually correct words. Leading means causing. Rising means emerging or growing in size and scope. It can be said that both the words-leading and rising are inappropriate. Hence,C and D should be interchanged. The correct sentence: (A) Tensions over land and natural (B) resources have been (C) rising for some time, sometimes (D) leading to (E) murderous violence.
Sol 294. There are two events in this sentence. The finding of the note in the kitchen and Sarah and Tammy going or shopping. Important thing to note here is that 'they went for shopping first and then the note was found. In such cases, we must use 'had' with the first event. So part C is wrong, because she and Tammy had gone should be the correct formation, Also, we already know that ''she'' in part C is referring to 'Sarah.' Because there is no one else involved here. So Sarah had gone shopping with Tammy. So it doesn't make sense to say 'a note to Sarah.' It should be 'note from Sarah.' Correct Sentence: No one was in the kitchen, but a note from Sarah explained that she and Tammy had gone to town for shopping again. Sol 295. The correct answer is option 3), i.e. A-D. We can go through the sentence in the following way: We think of (A)________ as the time of (B)________ and (C)________ new green (D)________, but it is often the most (E)________ time of year in western Europe. Blossom means flower; produce flowers or masses of flowers Clearly, B is meaningful. C and E have contextually correct words. Growth which means increase is inappropriately used here. Hence, A and D should be interchanged. The correct sentence: We think of (A) spring as the time of (B) blossom and (C) fresh new green (D) growth, but it is often the most (E) polluted time of year in western Europe. Sol 296. The correct answer is option 4 i.e. D-C and B-A.
Explanation: We can look at the sentence in the following way: My _______ (A) and I _______ (B) to go on a trekking and _______ (C) climbing _______ (D) in Northern India. Decided: The past tense of 'decide' which means to come to a resolution about something. This is a verb (an action) that cannot be owned by anyone, so it cannot be preceded by the determiner 'my'. College: An educational institution specializing in higher education after school. A noun like 'college' cannot be preceded by 'I'. A verb should follow 'I'. Trip: A journey taken on for pleasure. 'Trekking' is an action that is a part of a 'trip' it cannot be done with a 'trip'. "Trip climbing" is grammatically and contextually incorrect. Mountain: A large elevation of the Earth's surface rising abruptly from the surroundings. If one refers to the action of climbing a mountain, it has to be one specific mountain and needs to be preceded by 'a'. Hence, we need to interchange D-C and B-A in order to make the sentence contextually correct. So the Correct Sentence is: My friends and I decided to on a trekking and mountain climbing trip in Northern India.
Sol 297. The correct answer is option 3), i.e. B-E. We can go through the sentence in the following way: Another (A)________ is that (B)________ are the (C)________ of a vegetative state – (D)________ and (E)________to what is around them.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Uncommunicative means shy / unwilling to talk or impart information. So, D is contextually correct. Misconception means incorrect view or opinion. Definition means explanation or meaning. Clearly, A and C have meaningful and contextually correct words. Insensitive means heartless / showing or feeling no concern for others' feelings. It is clear that both the words i.e. Insensitive and plants are contextually incorrect. Hence, B and E should be interchanged. The correct sentence: Another (A) misconception is that (B) plants are the (C) definition of a vegetative state – (D) uncommunicative and (E) insensitive to what is around them.
Sol 298. The only grammatically correct sentence from the given options is 5. 'Towards' is incorrect, given the context of the sentence, as it means 'in the direction of something'. The correct preposition must be 'to'. To be 'of' value is something that is precious or appreciated. So, the correct preposition must be 'of' and not 'to', 'from', 'above' or 'in'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 5. Sol 299. The only grammatically correct sentence from the given options is option 5. The sentence refers to one thing that was important, so the corresponding verb must be the singular past tense verb 'was' and not the plural 'were'. The adverb 'essentially' is incorrect here, as it cannot make the sentence meaningful. The correct form here must be the adjective form 'essential'. The verb 'ought to' means a responsibility or obligation of doing something. It can be used in place of 'must', but the sentence does not use the preposition 'to' after it, which is incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is option 5. Sol 300. The error is in part (1) of the sentence. As a rule, whenever you refer to yourself and some other person, you put the other person's name first. Therefore, it should be 'John and I are going to the circus..'. Sol 301. The sentences are joined by the conjunction 'and'. This means that they are related and must also use the same tense. The first sentence uses the past tense verb 'tied', indicating the second sentence must also be in past tense. In the second sentence, the main verb 'begun' is incorrect, as it shows the past participle form of the verb. The correct word here will be 'began running'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 302. Option 3. The error is in part 3 of the sentence. 'No seen' is grammatically incorrect. It should be 'not seen'.
Sol 305. (2) has an error. The tense of the given sentence is in the Present tense as recommended by the use of ‘have’ and a present participle ‘benefiting’. The use of ‘have’ makes the exact tense of the sentence being Present Perfect. The correct form of the verb to be used in present perfect tense is verb-3rd form, so, adjusted, instead of adjust, would be used. The correct phrase is ‘largely adjusted to the changes’. Sol 306. The error is in the fourth option as the word 'legitimize' means to legalize and it does not go with the context of the sentence. Instead, the word 'control' can be used. Sol 307. The correct answer is option 4-D 'There' is an adverb which means 'at a certain place or position', which is incorrect given the context of the sentence. The correct form to be used here becomes the determiner 'their', meaning 'belonging to a group of people'. So, the error is in part 4. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 308.
The sentence is of the form: Pronoun + verb + subject The sentence is of simple past tense. The verbs used in the sentence should be base verbs then i.e challenge. Therefore, sentences 2,3 and 5 are eliminated since they use incorrect verbs. The sentence 4 is eliminated because it uses the wrong name of the object. It should be Mount Everest instead of “Mounts Everest”. Hence, the correct option is option 1.

Sol 310. Correct sentence: Following the report on environmental issues, the committee had decided to take serious steps for pollution control and accordingly incorporated environment-friendly packages as an integral part of the upcoming project. Following is used here as a preposition which we are use in starting, after the report action is shown by the steps taken by the committee for pollution control and third part after end accordingly as a adverb follows the incorporation of environment-friendly packages for upcoming project. Hence the correct answer is option 5. Sol 311. The correct answer is option 4.
Sol 303. A reference to the performance of India’s economic growth in the three months ending in September is made. Note, the highlighted text refers to a point of time in the past, so, the tense of the sentence is Simple Past. The form of the verb used for a simple past tense is verb-2nd form. The correct phrase is likely picked up. Sol 304. (3) has an error. The form of the participle, encountering, used in (3) is incorrect. The correct form of the participle to be used is Past participle (encountered), not present participle. The reason is that India is not currently encountering disruptions but encountered it in the past. The correct phrase is encountered after India’s shock ban.

The fourth part is missing an article before the word 'world'. It is a specific noun as it refers to the particular world we inhabit and the article 'the' should precede it. Thus the correct sentence is 'In the aspects of naval warfare, the US navy is undoubtedly the largest and most powerful navy in the world.'
No article is generally used with abstract nouns. They are uncountable nouns hence A/An cannot be used. If nouns are followed by 'of' an article preceeds the noun. Article + Noun + of +........

Sol 317. The error lies in parts 2 and 3. The phrase 'strike a chord' means to cause people to agree with something. The phrase goes as: to strike a chord to /with people. Part 3 uses the simple present tense form of the verb 'lead', which is incorrect here. Given the context, the correct verb form here should be the third form: led. Part 1 is grammatically correct and hence does not require any corrections. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 318. The correct answer is will have finished.
The sentence uses the contraction it's, which is incorrect. The correct word here should be the determiner its. IT'S = IT + IS/HAS (contraction) ITS = determiner (belonging to the object in question) So the correct sentence is- Morgan Stanley lowered its long-term Brent price forecast on Tuesday and said that the oil market is broadly balanced in the first quarter of 2019.
Sol 314. The correct answer is Only III.
The sentence is in future perfect tense. This can be understood by the words ‘by this time next week’. Therefore, the future perfect form of the verb ‘will have finished’ has to be used. The future perfect tense rule: S + will + have + past participle + … Example: I will have finished my report by the end of this month.
Sol 319. The correct answer is Going. The error is in Part III of the sentence. 'despite of' should be replaced by 'despite'. Part III is the correct replacement for the part given in the question. There is a difference between 'in spite' and 'despite' although they are used in similar contexts. While we must use 'of' with 'in spite' as 'in spite of' we don't have to do that with 'despite.' Despite is used alone to mean 'even though; without being affected by the thing mentioned.' So we must remove 'of' after 'despite' from the sentence. Correct sentence: Swapna Barman on Wednesday created history by becoming the first Indian heptathlete to win an Asian Games gold here, a feat she achieved despite a toothache. Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
I, II, and III are phrases that can replace the first, the second, and the third part of the sentence respectively. These are replacements for the parts present in the oroginal sentence.
Sol 315. The error lies in 1 as the word 'further' means 'more' and it makes no sense here. The correct word here is the preposition 'beyond' which means that stories take us far away from reality. The correct sentence is:-

When 'like' or 'hate' is followed by a to-infinitive(to+base verb), it refers to the action of liking or disliking something as a habitual event. For eg. I like to go to school. 3. A gerund is a verb form ending in 'ing' which functions as a noun. For eg. Swimming is a good exercise.
Sol 320. Here, ‘took’ is in past tense. When there isn’t a logical time shift, all the verbs in the sentence must be written in the same tense. Hence, here the verb being ‘to stack’ must be written in past tense, that is, ‘stacked’. Sol 321. ‘Explain’ is already used and cannot be repeated as ‘explain and explain’ is incorrect. Also, ‘be calling them’ gives a clear meaning, but if ‘be’ is used, ‘called’ is incorrect. Hence, the correct option is ‘have to call them’. Sol 322. The dream is being described here, so ‘he was to swim’ is irrelevant as this was already occurring in the dream which was happening in the past. Hence, 'swimming’ as the continuous form is the correct choice. Note that the blank is already preceded by was implying that the sentence is in the past tense.Thus, option 2 would be incorrect. Sol 323. The error lies in part 3. The sentence uses the form 'could not be cutting', which is incorrect. As it is used with the verb 'be', the correct form should be 'could not be cut'. Parts 1 and 2 are grammatically correct and hence do not require any corrections. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.

Sol 324. The error here is in Part A of the sentence. The sentence is referring to an imaginary(we know this because of the use of ''if'') situation in which the person, about whom the speaker is talking about, is a Prime Minister. In such situation we use ''were'' irrespective of the subject being singular or plural. If it is an imaginary situation, we must use ''were.'' So option 1 is correct.
the kitchen. Hence the correct answer is option 5.
Sol 325. The error is in option 1 as word here should be 'accepted'; 'expect' is used when you are waiting for something,and 'accept' is used when you agree to something
Instead of that, it should be 'further' because it wants to increase its growth.
Sol 326. It can be understood from the sentence that the terrorists, extremists and the smugglers have united to destroy the country. Thus the word ‘collide’ is incorrect here. The word ‘collude’ has been misplaced with ‘collide’. The word ‘collude’ means to conspire against someone. Thus, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 327. ‘Means’ when used as a noun means either ‘income’ or ‘method’. In either case, the verb ‘know’ is rarely used with the word. The correct word in the context should have been ‘meaning’ which means ‘definition’. Sol 328. The correct option is option 3
The error is in 3rd part.
The same verb can be used for two different subjects only when the subjects are in the same number. Here, the same verb 'were' is used for two different subjects- 'window panes', which is a plural subject, and 'furniture', which is a singular subject. As the subjects differ in their number, the same verb can't be used for them. We need to use the correct form of the verb for the singular subject i.e. was. The correct sentence will be 'The kitchen was in a complete mess- the window panes were broken, the furniture was toppled, and the cutlery was in pieces'. Sol 329. The correct answer is Option 1. In part A, the error lies in the wrong usage of the article 'an'. The article 'an' is used only before the vowel sounding words. The word 'United' gives the consonant sound so the article 'a' should be used. Therefore, the correct sentence is 'A united Opposition in the Lok Sabha on Monday attacked the Narendra Modi government over the detention of National Conference (NC) leader and Lok Sabha member Farooq Abdullah, calling it “illegal” and demanded his immediate release so that he could attend the winter session.'
Sol 330. Correct sentence: Long ago the scheme of installing solar panels had been approved by the technological department, but due to obdurate higher management the same could not be implemented in the office premises. Sol 331. Correct sentence: Sudeshna’s deep insight into the share market and her strategic deals with the business partners along with her unique business skills made her win the most promising entrepreneur of the year. Hence, option 2 is correct. Sol 332. Correct sentence: My hands are already engaged and Neelam has gone to the market; so at present there is none to help you in
Sol 333.
The correct option is option 2. It should not be 'slow down' in part B.
Sol 334. The correct answer is option 2. The error lies in part I and part II of the sentence. In part I, the word 'contrived' has been used incorrectly. The sentence is in the present tense, but the word 'contrived' is in the past tense. Therefore, it should be replaced with 'contrive' to make the sentence grammatically correct. In part II, the phrase 'beyond that the' is grammatically incorrect. Therefore, it should be replaced with 'beyond which the' as mentioned in option II to make it more meaningful. Thus, the correct answer is option 2, i.e., Both I and II. The correct sentence is: No matter how skillfully we contrive our schemes, there is a point beyond which the one principle cannot be promoted without some sacrifice of the other. Sol 335. In the given sentences, the correct grammatical form should be 'will have' or 'would have'. This is only shown by option 3. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 336. The correct answer is option 3) i.e. c. ExplanationIn the part, 'c' of the given sentence verb 'raise' has been used which is wrong. In the given sentence, the subject for which the verb 'raise' has been used is 'summit' which is singular, so, a singular verb i.e. 'raises' will be used here. Hence, the correct sentence will be: As China and India are civilisational states, neighbours and members of the future global triumvirate, the Narendra Modi-Xi Jinping summit in Mamallapuram raises the question — do we understand China, as well as we, claim to understand the U.S.?
Sol 337. The word here should be 'palate' meaning the roof of your mouth,or the top of your mouth from inside, 'palette' is the flat board that the artists use to mix colours while painting. So the error is in option 4 Sol 338. The sentence that expresses the meaning most appropriately is sentence (1), ‘Even if he was a good cook, he wasn’t invited to the backyard barbecue party his neighbours were having because his manner was bossy and intimidating.’ None of the other options are applicable, because they are either not connected in proper causal order, or are grammatically or syntactically wrong. Sol 339. Correct option - 3 Firstly, when relative pronoun is used in the sentence, then verb is used according to number of the subject used just before the relative pronoun. Here, relative pronoun is which. The subject used just before it "testing programme", it is a singular noun. Hence, verb should also be singular. Thus, replace have with has. Now, deepen is a main verb, hence its past participle(V3) is deepened. So, replace deepen with deepened. Thus, the correct form is "has deepened". So, option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 340. Correct option - 3
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Firstly, word "major" is an adjective, so in order to use it, it should be placed with either noun/pronoun or verb. But, it is directly followed by a preposition. And, preposition is used to define a noun/pronoun. Thus, replace major with noun majority. Hence, option 3 is the correct answer. Correct sentence: Without any sort of government safety net, a majority of India's population has no cover for old age or unforeseen contingencies.
Sol 341. When you mean it is or it has, use an apostrophe. When you are using it as a possessive, don't use the apostrophe. So ‘its’ will be used here. We typically use at when talking about an upright target: He threw the book at the dog.The judge threw the book at her. If the target is flat, we typically say on instead: I spilled it on the floor.I dropped my things on the table after school. Hence, ‘on’ will be used here. Thus option 3 is the correct answer. Correct sentence: The BJP, which emerged as the single largest party in the elections, has been given 15 days to prove its majority on the floor of the House. Sol 342. The correct answer is option (5).

Explanation: Reading the above sentence we find that: Part 1 contains an error because the pronoun ‘our’ should be replaced by ‘ours’. According to the context of the sentence, the first person plural pronoun ‘ours’ should be used here. Hence we find that the error lies in Part 1 of the sentence. The correct sentence will be: Ours is the only culture that can boast of unique adaptability.
Sol 346. The correct answer is option 4 The conjunction 'because' needs to be replaced by the conjunction 'and'. The error is in option 4 as many adjectives are put one after another and the conjunction 'and' not 'because' is needed to connect all of them as they are all similar in nature. The correct answer is: It will also make banking services convenient, safe reliable and transparent. Sol 347. The error is in option 2 as 'addition' means to add something ; but the word needed here is 'edition' meaning published version of a book. Sol 348.
The correct tense for the given sentence is present progressive tense, signifying actions that began in the past, continues in the present and may continue into the future. This is observed in the fifth option with "has resulted". Even though it is a present tense, the present progressive tense can also be used to describe an activity that is going to happen in the future (especially for planned activities). For example: We are moving to New Zealand in the summer. The train is arriving in 2 minutes. Thus, option 5 is the right answer. Correct Sentence: "Increasing pressure on children to attain high marks has resulted in a decline in creative and other extracurricular activities."
Sol 343. The correct answer is option 3.
Reading the above sentence we find that: The error lies in part 3 of the sentence. The correction is in the usage of the pronoun ‘them’. Since singular pronoun ‘his’ and singular word ‘administrator’ have been used in other parts of the sentence, the usage of the plural pronoun ‘them’ is wrong. The correct pronoun which should be used is ‘him’. Therefore, the correct phrase would be ‘and therefore made him’. Thus, the error is in part 3.
Sol 344. The correct answer is option 4.
Here the error lies in part 4 of the sentence as a wrong tense form for the word ‘recover’ has been used. Since the sentence has used the modal ‘could’, the base form of the main verb should follow. Eg: She could achieve all her dreams with some support. Thus the correct word to be used is 'recover'. Sol 345. The correct answer is option 1 i.e 1
Both B and C are correct. Ignoble means “not honourable in character or purpose”. Hence the correct answer is option 4. Sol 349. Here, it is important to know the meaning of words in order to understand the context in which they should be used. Rumblings mean the continuous sound of complaints. Rigging means something done illegally to bring out results. Perdure means something that continues for some time. Correct sentence: The (A) rumblings in the Opposition about (B) vote-rigging by the ruling party may (C) perdure for some time. Hence, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 350. The correct answer is option 2. The word 'perpetrate' means 'to carry out or commit'. In sentence A, the word has been used incorrectly. The nations cannot 'commit' the memory of themselves. The sentence does not make any sense. In sentence B, the word has been used correctly. The sentence suggests that 'he vowed revenge for the crime committed on his family'. In sentence C, the word has been used incorrectly. The later generations cannot 'commit' the cult. The sentence does not make any sense. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 351. Words A and E, and C and D have been interchanged. (A) :- here ‘reconcile’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘reconcile’ is ‘make someone accept (a disagreeable or unwelcome thing)’. The BJP candidate for CM cannot digest the fact that the party lost the elections, therefore ‘reconcile’ here is the correct word. (C) :- here ‘grip’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘grip’ is ‘hold, clutch, catch’. ‘from the grip of the Congress’ forms a meaningful phrase. (D) :- here ‘strongman’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘strongman’ is ‘a leader who rules by the exercise of threats, force, or violence’. Since the leader is using wrong measures to acquire the post, hence ‘strongman’ is the correct word. (E) :- here ‘desperate’ is the correct word. ‘desperate measures’ here mean the ‘extreme measures’ adopted by BJP leader. Correct sentence – ‘Unable to reconcile himself to the failure to wrest Karnataka from the grip of the Congress in last year’s Assembly election, the BJP strongman is adopting desperate measures to get another shot at becoming Chief Minister.’ Sol 352. Gravity refers to the force that attracts one object to another. It is the force which causes things to fall to the ground. In this
g
g
https://amzn.to/350yFZS context, the word is used in statement B which refers to this force present in the moon. The word gravity also means the seriousness or importance of something. So, it is correctly used in statement C. Statement A makes no sense. The word gravity does not fit contextually. The most possible substitute is the word regime which means a coordinated and ordered way of doing things: Statement A: You can personalize your training regime within the app based on experience levels. Thus, the correct answer is option 1.
Sol 353. Words A and D, and C and E have been interchanged. (A) :- here ‘midst’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘midst’ is ‘in the middle’. ‘report comes in the midst of a vigorous campaign’ forms a meaningful phrase, as it tells that the report by CAG comes in the middle of a strong campaign by the Opposition. (C) :- here ‘revelations’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘revelation’ is ‘a surprising and previously unknown fact that has been disclosed to others’. ‘based on media revelations about’ forms a meaningful phrase, as it tells that media brought out some unknown facts. (D) :- here ‘lapses’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘lapses’ is ‘intervals or gaps’. ‘possible lapses and deviations’ forms a meaningful phrase. With ‘deviation’ we need a word that is similar to it. ‘midst’ has no connection with ‘deviation’. (E) :- here ‘dissenting’ is the correct word. The meaning of ‘dissenting’ is ‘holding or expressing opinions that are at variance with those commonly or officially held’. ‘dissenting members of the INT’ forms a meaningful phrase as it tells that members of the INT are not happy with the process. Correct sentence – ‘The report of the Comptroller and AuditorGeneral of India tabled in Parliament comes in the midst of a vigorous campaign by the Opposition that is questioning the process, based on media revelations about possible lapses and deviations and significant points raised by dissenting members of the Indian Negotiating Team (INT).’ Sol 354. The correct option is option 4. Slacking- Lazy Prodding- Pushing Sol 355. Correct option: 2. The word 'rised' has been used incorrectly. The correct word should be 'caused' in this sentence since the food abundance has led to an explosion in the insect population in this area. Sol 356. The correct option is option 2. Eventually- Ultimately Minuscule- a little amount Exuberant- Plentiful

sorrow which is the effect of the destruction and does not adequately convey the proper meaning of the word, hence this is incorrect. Wailing means crying with pain or grief and this captures the essence of the sentence correctly and hence can be retained.
Sol 360. All three sentences are grammatically and contextually correct. Harrowing means “acutely distressing" which can be an adjective for costumes, silence, and a story. Hence the correct answer is option 1. Sol 361. Only sentence B is correct. Misogynistic means “strongly prejudiced against women", which is a characteristic of a person and not a feeling or contextually the nature of a 'peace treaty'. Correct words for other sentences The assassination could do serious damage to the fragile peace agreement that was signed last month. I felt rather fatigued for a few days after the operation. Hence the correct answer is option 2. Sol 362. Sentences A and B are correct. Famished means “extremely hungry”. In sentence C, 'famished' has been used as an adjective for an evening, which is incorrect. Hence the correct answer is option 4. Sol 363. The word 'logging' which means 'the activity or business of selling
trees and cutting and preparing the timber' has been spelt incorrectly here. Thus option 2 is the correct answer. Ligneous => woody
Sol 364. Correct option - 3 Let's check the meanings of the bold words and their meanings:During - Throughout the duration. Strange - Weird; unusual. Jolt - A shake caused by sudden force. Rushed - Ran; moved. Since, with reference to the context, people cannot hear any shake, it can be felt. Whereas, a noise can be heard. So, we can replace jolt with noise. Correct sentence - During earthquake people heard a strange noise and rushed out of their houses. Sol 365. The error is in part 3 of the given sentence. The preposition 'in' is incorrectly used here. It should be 'for'. The correct phrase will be: '...economists was for annual growth...'.
Sol 357. Antithesis is a noun referring to a person or a thing that is a direct opposite of another. Sentences B and C use the term correctly, in sentence A however according to the context the correct word should be the opposite of antithesis that is replica.
Sol 366. The error is in option 1 as the correct spelling is -millennium--mill+en+nium. meaning 'a century' or a 100 hundred years.
Sol 358. None of the options convey the full meaning. Eye-witness is not a passerby or a passive observer but someone who has seen with his own eyes and was thus involved in the crime scene. The words ‘bystander’, ‘observer’ and ‘onlooker’ means a non-participating person. Evidence is a very strong proof and not just a suggestion or idea. The words ‘suggestion’, ‘verification’ and ‘support’ do not match this meaning. To grant means to give formally or legally and fits in well with this sentence. No replacement is needed.
Explanation The error is in option 2 as the correct spelling is 'embarrassed' which means cause (someone) to feel awkward, self-conscious, or ashamed.
Sol 359. The word serial means repeated patterns or sequences. Destruction means the process of causing damage to something that it no longer exists or that it cannot be repaired. Both B and C are correct and convey the right meaning. In Option A, ‘many’ means several and ‘sadness’ means feeling
Sol 367. The correct answer is option 2- Embarassed
Sol 368. Correct option - 3 With respect to the context, the word 'daughters' is not appropriate. Since, 'movie' is a favourite of daughter. Hence, it shows a relation or possession between these two nouns. So, we need to use possessive noun instead of plural noun. Thus, 'daughters' will be changed to 'daughter's'. So, option 3 is the correct answer. Correct sentence - The movie 1001 Dalmatians is my daughter's favorite movie. Sol 369. In the given question, the words 'indigestion', 'ulcers', 'condition' are correct.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS However, the word 'underline' is incorrect in the given context. It means 'to draw a line under (a word or phrase) to give emphasis or indicate special type.' It should be replaced with the word 'underlying', which means 'to be the cause or basis of (something).'
Sol 370. The word 'facing' is the incorrect form of the word in the given grammatical structure of the sentence. The correct form of the word should be 'faced'. Thus the correct option should be option 3.

Let's look at the following pointsGoing through the all given option we find that all given sentences are incorrect It concludes that option 5 is correct and therefore the answer.
Sol 371. The word 'substantiated' to means provide evidence to support or
prove the truth of. This does not make any sense in the current context of the sentence and should be replaced by the most appropriate 'substantial' which means of considerable importance, size, or worth. Thus the correct option should be option 2.
Sol 372. The word 'most' is irrelevant in the sentence because 'greatest' is in the superlative degree and does not need another superlative degree word before it. Thus, the correct option should be option 2. Sol 373. Let's have a look at the spellings used in the above given sentence: Exciting means stimulating. Spacious means roomy. Studies is the third person form of the verb 'to study'. Clauses should be replaced by classes as it conveys the correct meaning and usage. Hence, option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 374. Out of the given words, only rivile is spelt incorrectly. Given the context, its correct spelling should be revile. To induce- bring about or give rise to. To revile- criticize in an abusive or angrily insulting manner. Benefactor- a person who gives money or other help to a person
or cause.
Provocation- ction or speech that makes someone angry,
especially deliberately.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
Sol 375. Out of the given words, only astunished is spelt incorrectly. Given the context, its correct spelling should be astonished.
Jovial cheerful and friendly. Conviction- a firmly held belief or opinion. Vehemence- great forcefulness or intensity of feeling or expression. To be astonished- greatly surprised or impressed; amazed.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
Sol 376. Out of the given words, only disaprobation is spelt incorrectly. Given the context, its correct spelling should be disapprobation. To squeal- a long, highpitched cry or noise. Forth- forward, out and away from a starting point.
Disapprobation strong disapproval, typically on moral grounds. Saddle a seat fastened on the back of a horse or other animal for riding. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
Sol 377. Out of the given words, only surruptitious is spelt incorrectly. Given the context, its correct spelling should be surreptitious. Surreptitious- kept secret, especially because it would not be
approved of. To appear- come into sight; become visible or noticeable, especially without apparent cause. To blink- shut and open the eyes quickly. To fathom- understand (a difficult problem or an enigmatic person) after much thought. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
Sol 378. The correct answer is All are incorrect
Now, let's look at the following pointsOption 1 is incorrect as the conjunction used for adverb 'both' is 'and'; whereas in the given context 'as well as' Option 2 is incorrect as the conjunction for the adverb scarcely is paired with when and in the context then is mentioned Option 3 is incorrect as it uses the wrong format comprises of; It should be 'comprises' or 'is comprised of'. Option 4 is incorrect for the reason, If both the auxiliary verb and the main verb come in a sentence, the adverb of frequency/ degree is put between the auxiliary verb and the main verb; whereas in the given sentence it is given just after the subject i.e.they always had treated For e.g.- They had rarely arrived late at work until yesterday.
Sol 379. The correct answer is Option 2. The error lies in wrong usage of the subject-verb agreement. In Part B, replace 'produces' with 'produce' because the subject 'plants and animals' is in plural so the verb should also be in plural form. RULE: When the subject of the sentence is composed of two or more nouns or pronouns connected by and, use a plural verb.
Sol 380. The correct answer is option 3. The correct sentence is 'Countless doctors across the world are urging consumers to take Turmeric Curcumin on a daily basis. Not only does it relieve arthritis and joint pain, but it also has many other amazing benefits.' In the above sentence, the use of the article 'an' before the disease arthritis is incorrect. Diseases do not take articles before them except a few exceptions.
Sol 381. The correct answer is Option 2. The error lies in wrong usage of the subject-verb agreement. In Part B, replace 'was' with were because here two individual subjects are connected by 'and' so the subject is in plural and the verb should also be in plural. RULE: When the subject of the sentence is composed of two or more nouns or pronouns connected by and, use a plural verb.
Sol 382. The correct answer is 'C' i.e. error lies in this part of the sentence.
In part C of the sentence the usage of 'there' is incorrect Instead of it use 'their'
https://amzn.to/350yFZS 'There' is an adverb of place and 'their' is a possessive pronoun. In the given sentence, the usage of 'their' is correct because we need to tell the possession of the climbers. Let's see an exampleJanis and Kurt have announced their engagement. The correct sentence is:- On arriving at the peak of the mountain, the climbers blew their trumpets with joy.
Sol 383. The correct answer is 'A' i.e. error lies in the first part of the sentence.
In part A of the sentence, the usage of 'where' is incorrect Instead of it use 'while' 'Where' is an adverb usually use to tell the place (Adverb of place) whereas, 'While' is a conjunction usually used to tell the simultaneous actions. Let's see an exampleRacing was halted for an hour while the track was repaired. The correct sentence is:- While the troops were sleeping, the enemy crept up on them and launched an attack.
Sol 384. The correct answer is option 3, i.e. C. The error lies in part C. Since a contrast is expressed in the sentence, the correct conjunction will be ‘but’ and not ‘and.’ The correct sentence is:He may be highly didactic and opinionated, but he is too honest and fair minded to be unjust. Sol 385. There are two errors in the sentence. The first part uses the preposition 'as', which is incorrect. The correct preposition should be 'to'. The second part uses the adverb 'again', which should be replaced by the preposition 'against'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 386. Correct option - 3 First of all, two contradictory clauses are used in the sentence. Hence, they should be joined with conjunction but. Hence, options 1, 2 & 5 are eliminated. And, 'game of the Olympics' does not make a meaningful phrase. Hence, option 4 is eliminated. Thus, option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 387. The correct answer is No Error
Reading the above sentence we find that it is free from any error. When two actions occur in the past, one after the other, the first action is expressed in Past Perfect Tense and the second action is expressed in Simple Past Tense. For Example - The patient had died before the doctor came. Here, in the sentence the action of dying of patient had happened before the doctor came, therefore, it will be expressed by past perfect tense and the action of the doctor coming will be expressed by simple past tense. In the question sentence, the action of she going to wander in the woods happened after he warned her, therefore, it will be expressed by simple past tense(went) and the action of warning her will be in the past perfect tense(had warned).
Error Spotting
Thus, the correct answer is No error.
One might tend to think that there is an error in part C in the phrase 'into the woods.' When we talk of a person entering a jungle or a forest, we use the preposition 'into'.
Sol 388. The error is in part A and C of the sentence. While in part A, the sentence formation is wrong, in part C a word us wrongly used. We must use V3 after 'has/have/had.' 'Went' is V2. So 'had never gone' should be the correct formation. On the other hand, 'over' is preposition which means 'above so as to cover or protect.' This
can't be used here. The word surrounded itself means, that something is around something. Surrounded can never mean over. We need not use the preposition 'over' at all.
Correct Sentence: He had never gone beyond the beautiful gardens that surrounded around his father's palace.
Sol 389. There is an error in the first part and the last part of the sentence. In part A, artists is a plural noun. So the noun 'kind' should also be plural. Kinds is a noun and it means 'A group of individuals or instances sharing common traits; a category or sort'. On the other hand, 'then' means 'at that time'. But the sentence already
says that ''they were popular in their time, so it doesn't make sense to write 'forgotten then'. It should be 'forgotten now'. So option 4 is correct. Correct Sentence: All kinds of artists have come and gone in the last four centuries, popular in their time but forgotten now.
Sol 390. 1 has an error. ‘”It is a case of equity markets on emerging economies,”’ The use of the preposition ‘on ’ is incorrect in the context of the sentence. The correct preposition to be used is ‘in ’. Sol 391. (2) has an error. ‘Thank to a rally by video-game makers,’ It should be instead 'thanks to'. Sol 392. The error is in the Option 4, i.e. 'the most intelligent'. 'Most' should be replaced by 'More'. 'Most' is a superlative degree, and we cannot use superlative degrees to compare two people or things. To compare two things 'more' is used. Sol 393. Here, the error is in the use of the preposition ‘with’. The correct usage is ‘according to’. Although both according and accordance are forms of the same word, they take different prepositions. Thus the correct sentence is - 'I acted according to his advice yet failed to make a favorable impression.' Sol 394. Here, ‘for’ is incorrectly used as we are pointing at a particular time and not duration. If we had added ‘the last many years,’ then we will add ‘for.’ Error is in part 1 of the sentence. Here, we will use 'since' instead of 'for'. The correct sentence will be 'He has been working hard since 2005, and this is a reason why he is receiving all accolades from the Chairman and also recognition in the leading newspapers'. Hence the correct option is 1. Sol 395. The correct answer is option 2, i.e., 'to the heart, the doctors fearing'. The given sentence is in the past tense. The word 'fearing' expresses the present tense. Thus, it makes the sentence grammatically incorrect and meaningless. To correct the sentence, the word 'fearing' should be replaced with 'feared', which is the past form of the word 'fear'. The correct sentence is:

'Inspite of all the difficulties, Riya is running her business successfully besides working for NGO as a part time volunteer to help the needy women and children'.
Sol 396. The correct answer is option 3, i.e., 'more could be heard'. The word 'more' means 'an additional amount or degree'. In the given sentence, there is no specific amount/quantity in the reference of which the word 'more' could be used. Hence it is incorrect. Also, the given sentence is in the present tense. The phrase 'could be' expresses the past tense. To correct the sentence, the word 'more' should be replaced with 'much', which in general refers to 'a large amount', and the phrase 'could be' should be replaced with 'can be', which expresses the present tense. The correct sentence is: The bees are known to bombinate so noisily that not much can be heard over their incessant buzzing.
Sol 403. The two sentences tell us about a person named Prabhakar. The first sentence tells us that Prabhakar could not purse engineering. The second sentence tells us about his nativity. It is clear that the second sentence is just an additional information and provides no explanation to why Prabhakar could not pursue engineering. So, we can eliminate phrase (II). Also, there is no element of contrast highlighted in these two sentences. Phrase (III) is also incorrect. We can use phrase (I) in the following manner : Hailing from Melaottankadu village in Tamil Nadu's Thanjavur, Prabhakar had to initially sacrifice his dream to pursue engineering. Thus, the correct answer is option 2.
Sol 397. The correct answer is option 2, i.e. B. The error lies in part B. Two singular subjects joined by “as well as” will have a singular verb. Here the verb “were” is plural: it should have been ‘was.’ Correct sentence: Flooding, as well as a power cut, was responsible for most citizens fleeing to neighbouring cities.
Sol 404. The correct answer is option 3. The word 'though' means 'despite the fact that'. Both i and iii can be used to join the two sentences correctly, without changing the meaning of the initial sentence. The correct sentences would be: i. Though Peter didn't tell us about the place they were made, he did tell us about the assembly of the products. iii. Peter told us about the assembly of the products, but he failed to tell us about the place they were made. The word 'hence' means 'as a consequence of'. This cannot be used to join both the sentences as it would change the meaning of the initial sentences. Thus, the correct answer is option 3, i.e., Both i and iii.
Sol 398. The error lies in part 3 only. Parts 1 and 2 are grammatically correct sentences and hence do not require any correction. Part 3 uses 'its' which is incorrect here as the subject is plural. So, it must be 'their'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 399. The correct answer is option 3. The correct phrase we are looking for is given that. It is used to mean ‘knowing or considering a particular thing’. For example, I am sensible with money, given that (means : taking the following fact into account) I don’t earn that much. Also, the verb that follows had should be in its past participle form (V3). Examples: had eaten, had slept, had taught etc. So, we can eliminate option 2 – had expected and not had expect is correct. Correct sentence : Many had expected that the deputy governor would step down along with Patel given that he was more voluble in his criticism of the government. Sol 400.
The error is in the 2nd part of the sentence. The adjective "choppy: variable or changeable" should be used here instead of the verb "chopped: abolish or reduce the size of (something) in a way regarded as ruthless." Hence the correct answer is option 2. Correct sentence: Gems and jewellery exports are likely to decline 1015 per cent year on year in this financial year owing to choppy global economies, high import duty on gold and diamonds, and liquidity crunch in the sector. Sol 401. Answer: 4 The plural form ‘shortages’ must be accompanied by a plural verb ‘have.’ Eliminate option 5. Similarly, the singular noun form ‘shortage’ must be accompanied by the singular verb ‘is’ and not ‘are.’ Eliminate option 1. Eliminate option 2 because the spelling of 'forcing' is wrong. The correct spelling is 'Forcing'. Option 3 has tense inconsistency with the past tense ‘had’ as well as the present tense ‘have’ in the sentence. Eliminate option 3. Hence, option 4 is the answer. Sol 402. There is a difference between beside and besides. ‘Beside’ means something which is kept by the side while ‘besides’ means "in addition to." So, in the above sentence, there is an incorrect usage of beside, which makes error in part 3 of the sentence. Correct sentence will be
Sol 405. The given sentence has one error, which lies in part B. Part B uses the verb 'is', which is incorrect here. Given that the intended form is 'it inwardly differentiates'; using the 'is' here becomes redundant. None of the other parts have any grammatical errors. So, the error-free parts are ACD. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Correct sentence: According to Hegel's political views, the political state is rational in so far as it inwardly differentiates itself according to the nature of the Concept. Sol 406. The given sentence has one error, which lies in part D. Part D uses the adverb form 'particularly', which is incorrect. The word refers to the noun 'individuals' and comes directly before it, indicating that it must be an adjective, viz, 'particular'. None of the other parts have any grammatical errors. So, the error-free parts are ABC. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Correct sentence: The rationality of the state is located in the realization of the universal substantial will in the self-consciousness of particular individuals elevated to consciousness of universality. Sol 407. The given sentence has one error, which lies in part D. Part D uses the determiner 'these', which is incorrect here. The determiner 'these' here would be the directly mentioned principles governing the Family while the others would be 'those' governing Civil society. None of the other parts have any grammatical errors. So, the error-free parts are ABC. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Correct sentence: The Third moment of Ethical Life is provided by a synthesis between the principles governing the Family and those governing Civil Society. Sol 408. The correct answer is ABD
The given sentence has one error, which lies in part C.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS The part C uses the noun form 'universe', which is incorrect here. We need an adjective to qualify the noun 'will'. Will is the determination to do something. Something that is universal relates to everyone in the world or everyone in a particular group or society. Here 'larger' has be used because 'universal will' is compared with 'subjective rights'. So, the error-free parts are ABD. Thus, the correct sentence is: Any wrongdoing now becomes an infringement, not merely of the subjective right of individuals but also of the larger universal will that exists in ethical life.
When using not only . . . but also in a sentence, parallelism should be the goal. It means that the words following both parts of this correlative conjunction (i.e., not only and but also) should belong to the same parts of speech. For example, if a verb follows not only, then a verb should also follow but also. Using different parts of speech after each part of not only . . . but also makes the sentence imbalanced and, frankly, just awkward. Consider the examples below: He’s not only intelligent but also has a great sense of humor. (wrong) He’s not only intelligent but also funny. (right)
Sol 409. The given sentence has two errors, which lie in parts C and D. Part C uses the singular verb 'requires', which is incorrect here. As it is two things that are being referred to here, the correct verb form should be plural, 'require'. Part D uses the incorrect verb form 'knew'. As the rest of verbs in the sentence reflect simple present tense, this verb must also be in the present tense form 'know'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 410. The error lies in part 1. The sentence uses a peculiar form. Notice that the 'but' here is used to mean 'only' as well its normal conjunction usage. So, the sentence means, This species not only has 'only' one arm and one leg but it is of such type that also has 'only' one eye and one nostril. Part 1 uses the plural verb 'have', which is incorrect; as it refers to the 'this species', which necessitates a singular verb. So, the correct form would be 'Not only has but'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. Note: "To + have" in the third part of the sentence is absolutely correct as it is the infinitive form of the auxiliary verb "to have". Sol 411. The sentences suggest that the resulting sentence should include the context of 'the teacher correcting her error', 'realising that she had made a mistake' and 'laughing nervously'. The only sentence that expresses the given context is option 5. Therefore, the correct answer is option 5. Sol 412. The sentences suggest that the second sentence happens because of the first sentence. So, they can be joined using conjunctions like 'as' or 'because'. This is given by I. The perfect participle phrase 'having + past participle form of the verb' can also be used here. It shows a completed action and joins the two sentences. This is shown by II. So, a contextually coherent joined sentence is given by I and II. None of the other phrase/s can make the sentence meaningful. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. Sol 413. The error lies in the II part of the sentence.
Error Spotting
According to the Subject-Verb Agreement rule which states that subjects and verbs must AGREE with one another in number (singular or plural). Thus, if a subject is singular, its verb must also be singular; if a subject is plural, its verb must also be plural. Here the subject is “one” research issue, hence the verb should be singular, i.e. concerns. Hence the correct answer is option 1. Correct sentence: One of the thornie*st research issues developmental researchers face concerns the measurement of change and differences over age and time.
Sol 414. The error lies in the II part of the sentence. Since the subject ‘body rhythms’ is plural, its following verb should also be plural according to the Subject-Verb Agreement rule which states that subjects and verbs must AGREE with one another in number (singular or plural). Hence the verb should be ‘govern’ and not ‘governs’. Hence the correct answer is option 3. Correct sentence: In the first days of life, infants’ body rhythms like waking, eating, sleeping govern the infant's behavior, often at seemingly random times. Sol 415. Only part D of the sentence is grammatically correct and hence error-free. Part A is wrong since the adjective 'genetic: relating to genes or heredity’ is used instead of the adverb 'genetically: in a way that relates to genes or genetics.’ Part B is wrong since the preposition 'on’ is used instead of the appropriate preposition 'to’. Part C is wrong since the preposition 'with’ is used instead of the appropriate preposition 'from’. Hence the correct answer is option 4. Sol 416. The correct option is option 2.
The error is in 2nd part. The same verb can be used for two different subjects only when the subjects are in the same number. Here, the same verb 'were closed' is used for two different subjects- 'major buildings', which is a plural subject, and 'the Parliament house', which is a singular subject. As the subjects differ in their number, the same verb can't be used for them. We need to use the correct form of the verb for the singular subject i.e. was. Thus, the correct sentence will be 'Major buildings were closed and the Parliament house was sealed as soon as news of the
intended terror attack spread'. Sol 417. The correct option is option 3 as 'model' is incorrectly spelt as 'modal'. 'Model' means 'a person or thing regarded as an excellent
example of a specified quality'. 'Modal' means 'relating to mode or form as opposed to substance'. 'Sought' is the past tense of 'seek', which means 'to attempt to find (something)'. Sol 418. The error lies in part B of the sentence as the verb 'perceive' is incorrect here and must be replaced with the adjective 'perceived' as it acts upon the noun 'influences.' It should read as:'..remove perceived bourgeois..'
Sol 419. The error is in sentence A as the preposition 'on' is not needed after the word 'emphasizes'. The adverb 'how' has been used here thus the emphasis is on that. It should read as: 'The official conference document emphasizes how much progress has been made.' Option 1 is the correct answer.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Sol 420. The error is in sentence C as the preposition 'at' after the word 'maim' is incorrect and should be eliminated. The word 'maim' means 'to injure someone so severely that the body part stops working.' It should read as:'Armed groups continued to kill and maim children and target schools.' Option 3 is thus the correct answer. Sol 421. The correct answer is: D
The error in D is the word 'governmental' which needs to be replaced with the word 'government' to make the sentence correct All other sentences are grammatically correct Thus the correct statement is: 'The free market is an
economic system based on supply and demand with little or no government control.'
Sol 422. There is no error in the given sentence. The tense and the sentence structure is grammatically correct. Hence, the correct answer is: Option 5. Sol 423. By reading the given sentences carefully, one can infer the meaning being conveyed. The sentences tell us that Berkeley Earth, which is a respected scientific organization, has come up with some news and it’s the only one which came up with this news. The sentence expresses a surprising tone at this point because the author tells us that such news (milestones) should be told by the American government also. The correct sentence is the one which keeps this meaning intact. Option 1 is incorrect as it twists the meaning slightly. The unusual aspect is not because of the fact that Berkeley Earth is a respected scientific organization. Options 2 and 4 can be eliminated as the pronoun it is used first in the sentence. The correct grammatical structure introduces the proper noun before the pronoun. Option 3 makes sense. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 424. Option 4 can be eliminated as it makes no logical sense. Use of though is done when introducing a contradiction or contrast. Participation in an event called ‘Code for Good Hackathon’ does not provide any contrast to the fact that he was earning a bachelor’s degree in the science of information systems. Option 1 is also eliminated because it suggests that participation in the event led him to earn a bachelor’s degree. This is not the expected meaning. Compared with all other options, option 2 makes a perfect logical sense. It suggests that Mathew, who participated in his first ‘Code for Good Hackathon’ was a student at Stony Brook University, earning a bachelor’s degree in the science of information systems. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 425. Out of the given sentences, the only correct sentence is 2. 'There being' is passive form of 'there is'. It focuses attention on the action itself and not on the subject or object doing the action. Dearth means insufficiency or lack of something. None of the other sentences are grammatically sound. In option 4, 'their having' is a passive form of 'they have', which, here, is money. But note that 'they' do not have the money, the market does. So, it changes the meaning and hence is incorrect. Options 1, 3 and 5 use the forms 'their having been', 'was to floated' and 'as there to be', which are grammatically incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 426. We can see that the sentence is predominantly in the 'present tense'. So we can consider that in part B ‘insisted’ is wrong. It should be ‘insists.’ Also, ‘if we simply say everyone is wrong, it will include even the person the speaker is referring to.’ So in part D, we must write
Error Spotting
‘everyone else’. This makes the sentence correct. Thus, the error lies in part B and D, making option 2, the correct answer. Correct sentence: She, in her pig-headed way, insists that she is right and that everyone else is wrong.
Sol 427. The given sentence has one error, which lies in part D. Part D uses the form 'since before', which is grammatically incorrect, given the context of the sentence. The correct form here would be to omit the word 'since' and use just 'before', making the sentence meaningful. So, the errorless combination is ABC. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Correct sentence:
I could have done the sum from my maths homework before he returned. Sol 428. The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. BC
The error in part B lies with the use of 'being' which is a verb of present tense and instead the correction will be the use of 'as', implying like such. As, because and since are conjunctions. As, because and since all introduce subordinate clauses. They connect the result of something with its reason. The error in part C lies with the wrong tense use of 'has' when it should instead be 'had', agreeing with the past perfect tense in the sentence. “Had” is used in a sentence in the past perfect tense. Simply stating, had is used when the sentence shows an action already completed in the past. She had scored the first rank. I had a great time with you. Correct sentence: "Heaviness in the air was clearly obvious as the forensics department had cleaned the room for evidence and
other official duties. " Sol 429. The error in part A is the use of 'in' when it should instead be 'into' because it explain the process or movement of transition, usually from one place to another. The error in part D is the use of singular dog when in the latter half 'they awoke' indicates there were multiple dogs. The correction will be dogs. Correct sentence: They could easily slip into the house without raising any suspicion for the first few minutes, until hell broke loose with the dogs spotting them as they awoke. Sol 430. The error in C is the preposition 'against' after the word 'oppose', which needs to be omitted. The subject can be directly mentioned after the word 'oppose.' Option 3 is thus the correct answer. Sol 431. The Error is in Part B of the sentence. We need to use the pair of ''whether and or'' together in a sentence. So the use of ''if and or'' is wrong. So option 2 is correct. Correct sentence: I can't confirm whether he has left the building or he is still inside. Sol 432. The Error is in Part C of the sentence. Between is used when only two parties are available. Here European countries refer to all European countries. So we must use ''among.'' So option 3 is correct. Sol 433. The most visible error in these sentences is the use of ''shows'' after a plural noun ''developments.'' Since developments is plural we must use ''show.'' Moreover, another striking error is the use of the word ''ruling.'' While, ''rules'' mean ''one of a set of
explicit or understood regulations or principles governing conduct or procedure within a particular area of activity'' ''ruling'' means ''an
https://amzn.to/350yFZS authoritative decision or pronouncement, especially one made by a judge.'' So we can understand that in this sentence, we must use the word ''rules''. So option 2 is correct. Sol 434. The error is in parts I and II. In the given sentence, Part I contains the noun ‘day’ which must be qualified by an adjective. While both ‘tired’ and ‘tiring’ are adjectives, we can use them differently. ‘Tired’ is used to describe one’s condition, or a person. ‘Tiring’ is used to describe an activity, or something that makes you feel tired,e.g. a long tiring day. In the given sentence, Part II the verb ‘have’ does not agree with the subject in number. ‘Shashi has’ is grammatically correct. In the given sentence, Part III is grammatically correct and does not require any correction. Therefore, the correct option is 3. Both I and II. Correct sentence: Even after a long tiring day at office, Shashi has to drive his car today while coming back home as his driver is absent. Sol 435. Correct sentence: Suddenly a fire broke out in the congested market resulting in chaos followed by a stampede killing hundreds of people including women and children. Congested is the correct form of the adjective that should be used here. Hence the correct answer is option 1. Sol 436. Correct sentence: The video shows that a parade of elephants is marching across the road and all vehicles are parked at a safe distance as per the instructions of the guide during a safari in the National Park. Hence the correct answer is option 4. Sol 437. Correct sentence: To score good marks in the examination, Ram is preparing all the lessons very well and is also practising the numerical problems given in the exercises of the textbook. Hence the correct answer is option 2. Sol 438. The error in the given sentence lies in part 1 and can be replaced by the grammatically correct option I. No other parts of the sentence require correction. Hence, option 1 is correct. Correct sentence: Being adept in business administration, the present chairman of XYZ company took several witty and strategic decisions which not only gave financial stability to the company but also took the company to the next level of success and reputation. Sol 439. Correct sentence: After cycling for two hours in the hot and humid weather, Ranjan fainted because of excessive dehydration and fatigue. Sol 440. There is no error in the given sentence. Exit poll results (plural) hence the pronoun 'them'. Correct sentence: After the exit poll results had been published in different media, / almost all the news channels were conducting and broadcasting debates based on them, / wherein many known and unknown intellectuals and political persons were participating in a good number. Sol 441.
The correct option is option 3. It should not be 'was' in part C. Instead of that, it should be 'were' because here we are talking about more than one thing. Sol 442. Correct sentence: Sidhu is a versatile genius and with his multifarious skills and personality he has easily drawn the attention of professors and students, including seniors, towards him, just after joining the college.

Sol 443.
The correct option is option 1. It should not be 'Whether' in part A. Instead of that, it should be 'Either' because here an option is presented. Sol 444.
The correct option is option 2. It should not be 'at' in part B. Instead of that, it should be 'over' because here a time span is mentioned. Sol 445.
The correct option is option 3- Only B When two actions occur in the past, the one which occurs earlier takes the past perfect tense and the one which occurs later takes the simple past tense. A person can become angry only after he has been duped. Thus, simple present 'is' in part B must be replaced with past perfect 'had been'. The corrections given in A and C are grammatically and contextually incorrect. Sol 446. Parts II and III have errors. In part II, the phrase 'to great length' is incorrect. The correct idiom is 'at great length'. To do anything 'at great length' means to do it for a long duration. In part III, the phrase 'failed on reaching an agreement' is incorrect. The correct phrase will be 'failed to reach an agreement'. Part I is grammatically correct and requires no change. Thus, the correct answer is Option 4, that is, 'Both II and III'. Sol 447. Only part II has an error. The subject of the given sentence is 'results'- a plural subject. Thus, the verb in part II must agree with it and should be 'are', and not 'is'. Parts I and III are grammatically correct and do not require any change. Thus, the correct answer is Option 2, that is, 'II only'. Sol 448. The correct answer is '3' i.e. error lies in the third part of the sentence.
In the given sentence, the usage of 'conducted' is incorrect instead of it use 'conducting' According to grammar, Whenever we use prepositions we always use a prepositional object which should be a noun/pronoun/gerund. In part C, 'conducted' is a past participle form of a verb which is incorrect use a gerund to make it a prepositional object. Let's see an exampleWe cannot expect literacy rates to improve by dealing with the issue in this manner. The correct sentence will be: We can promote water conservation through media and by conducting awareness programs.
Sol 449. The correct answer is '1' i.e. error lies in the first part of the sentence.
In part 1 of the sentence, the usage of 'a' is incorrect instead of it use 'an'
https://amzn.to/350yFZS According to grammar, If we use the indefinite article 'an' the noun should have a vowel sound. In part A, 'error' has a vowel sound hence use 'an' with it. Let's see an example an exhibition of fine Victorian furniture. So the correct sentence is- There was an error in the contest and the team had to start the project all over again.
Sol 450. The correct answer is option 2. Both i and ii can be used to begin the sentence correctly, without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. The word 'because' and 'since' means 'for the reason that'. The correct sentences would be: i. Because the machine was broken, it was making a loud noise. ii. Since the machine was broken, it was making a loud noise. iii is rejected because it is incapable of forming a single sentence without changing the initial meaning of the sentences. Thus, the correct answer is option 2, i.e., Both i and ii. Sol 451. Correct answer: Option 3. Option 1 uses the incorrect form 'would been crippling'. Correct sentence: The various levels of management would have been crippling to a small economy as theirs. Option 2 uses the incorrect from 'to seeing'. The correct toinfinitive would be 'to see'. Correct sentence: I will be able to see you tomorrow morning at the same time. Option 4 uses the incorrect form 'having had'. Correct sentence: The government has received tremendous pressure from the respective groups. Option 5 uses the incorrect from 'to be undertook'. Correct sentence: The environmental impact assessment on the project was yet to be undertaken. Option 3 is the only grammatically correct sentence. The 'had' here, used in the beginning, acts like the conjunction 'if'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 452. The sentences suggest that the second sentence happens 'despite' the things stated by the second sentence. In case of such relationship, we can use contradicting conjunctions like 'even though' or 'even if'. This is shown by I. So, a contextually coherent joined sentence is given by Only I. None of the other phrase/s can make the sentence meaningful. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 453. The sentences suggest that the first sentence is a direct result of the second. So, they can be joined using conjunctions like 'as' or 'because'. This is given by II. So, a contextually coherent joined sentence is given by Only II. None of the other phrase/s can make the sentence meaningful. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 454. The sentences suggest that the second sentence happens as a result of the first. So, they can be joined using conjunctions like 'as' or 'because'. This is given by I. So, a contextually coherent joined sentence is given by Only I. None of the other phrase/s can make the sentence meaningful. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 455. The sentences suggest that the second sentence is a result of the first sentence. The phrase 'being a compulsive liar', given by I, joins the sentences meaningfully. So, a contextually coherent joined sentence is given by Only I. None of the other phrase/s can make the sentence meaningful. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 456. 1 is incorrect because ‘their’ is used instead of ‘they’. 2 is incorrect because ‘at’ is the wrong preposition here.

4 is incorrect because ‘while’ is the wrong conjunction here. 3 is the correct sentence because it is formed using correct junctions and it is also grammatically sound.
Sol 457. Here, A-B has to be interchanged. Defeat means to have a victory over something and here it is said with the context of challenges faced by India. So in this context option (A) should be used in place of the option (B) Here, defence is related to the act of fighting against internal and external challenges which fit in place of (A) and not in (B). Other words are correctly placed in the statement. Stability means something that doesn't change over a period of time. Priorities mean to regard something more important than others. Hence, option 2 is the correct answer. Sol 458. The correct answer is option 4. The error lies in part III of the sentence. The phrase 'from the same' is grammatically incorrect. The correct phrase is 'in the same'. To make the sentence correct it should be replaced with 'in the same' which implies that: 'to include customers and suppliers in the planning process'. Thus, the correct answer is option 4, i.e., Only III. The correct sentence is: According to modern strategic planning experts, the planning process can be made more useful in the real sense by including customers and suppliers in the same. Sol 459. 'To have had' is the only correct grammatical form here. The first 'have' is the auxiliary verb 'have', indicating a present perfect tense while the second 'had' is the past participle form of the verb 'to have'. It indicates an ongoing action (of having a love such as hers) that began in recent past. Since it is something in particular (love) that belonged to 'her', that is being referred to, the correct form would be the pronoun 'hers'. 'Would have been', the modal form, suggests a possibility of something. Out of the given sentences, the only correct sentence is given by option 3. None of the other sentences are grammatically sound. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 460. The error lies in part 1. The sentence uses the phrase 'whatever on the world', which is incorrect. Whatever in the world- used to emphasise a certain quality. It is used to put more stress on the 'what'. e.g. What made him do that? would become what in the world made him to that? Phrases such as 'On Earth', 'In the name of God' are used synonymously with 'In the world'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. Sol 461. The given sentence has two errors, which lie in parts A and C. Part A uses the adjective form 'round', which is incorrect. As it is referring to the verb 'were criticised' and not to the noun 'feminists', it should be in its adverb form, viz, 'roundly'. Part C uses the incorrect prepostion 'within', which makes no sense. Looking at the sentences, the word should be a conjunction that joins the two different sentences together. This can be given by a conjunction such as 'while'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 462. The given sentence has no grammatical errors. Therefore, the correct answer is option 5. Sol 463. The given sentence has two errors, which lie in parts A and D. Part A begins the sentence with the preposition 'through', which lends no meaning to the sentence. Looking at the sentence, the word should be a conjunction that joins the two sentences together. This can be given by a conjunction such as 'though'.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Part D uses the verb form 'perpetuated', which is incorrect. Since it refers to the verb coming immediately after it, viz, 'reinforced', it must be in its adverb form, viz, 'perpetually' (forever). Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
Sol 464. The correct answer is option 1. Both i and ii can be used to begin the sentence correctly, without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. The word 'since' means 'for the reason that'. The correct sentences would be: i. The judge decided to pardon the criminal, for he had not been proven guilty. ii. Since the criminal had not been proven guilty, the judge decided to pardon him. iii is incapable of joining the two sentences without changing the initial meaning of the sentences. Thus it cannot be used. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1, i.e., Both i and ii. Sol 465. The correct answer is option 2. Both i and ii can be used to begin the sentence correctly, without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. The word 'since' means 'for the reason that'. The correct sentences would be: i. Since her daughter had an abnormal fixation on rectangular shapes, she drew boxes and ice-cream sandwiches endlessly. ii. Her daughter endlessly drew ice-cream sandwiches and boxes because of her abnormal fixation on rectangular shapes. iii cannot be used as it is incapable of joining the two sentences. Thus, the correct answer is option 2, i.e., Both i and ii. Sol 466. Correct Answer – 4 Let’s look at the meanings of the given words: Scuttle(v) – make fast, hurry Litigant(n) – someone engaged in a lawsuit Acknowledgement(n) – acceptance, recognition From this, it is clear that A and C use the words in a contextually and grammatically correct manner. B is not a meaningful sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 467. The error lies in part 2 of the sentence as the verb 'effect' is incorrect and must be replaced with the adjective 'effective' as it acts on the noun 'public health system'. For eg: An effective plan is required to bring the improvements. It should read as:'The need for an efficient and effective public health system in India is large.' Option 2 is the correct answer. Sol 468. The error lies in part 3 of the sentence. The verb 'makes' in simple present tense is incorrect as the sentence talks about a past incident (thus the verb 'increased).The verb should be in past tense 'mode' to make the sentence correct. For eg: They sang and danced as the drummer played loud beats. It should read as:'As Russia increased its westward pressure, the United States made tentative moves to block it.' Option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 469. The error lies in part 3 of the sentence. The verb 'has' is incorrect as the verb does not match with the plural subject 'pilots'. A plural verb 'have' should be used here. For eg: The girls who participated in the competition were rewarded. It should read as:'The pilots who were involved in shooting down a Russian aircraft in November have been arrested by Turkish authorities.' Option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 470. Correct option: 2 The error given in the sentence is in part 2. 'Such’ is an adverb clause of result. It shows the result or effect of something and it is introduced as a conjunction.

The process of export is viewed as an overtly complex affair. Some businesses may invest a significant effort in figuring out how to navigate through it, while others may completely choose to stay away. Sol 473. The correct answer is option 2. The word although is used to express a contrast between two things. We can join sentences D and C in the following way using this conjunction as C provides information that contrasts with D. Although some people insist that summer colds are always worse or longer lived than winter colds, there is little clinical evidence to support this claim. Based on the grammatical structure of the sentences, A and B can be joined using comma (,) as B provides a suitable continuity to A. It can be difficult to tell the difference between a cold and allergies, particularly when symptoms strike at the start of allergy season. Sol 474. The error lies in part 2 of the sentence as the preposition 'of' is incorrect and must be replaced with the preposition 'in' as something becomes a critical element 'in' something. For eg: The award is a critical element of the prestige earned by one studying in the school. It should read as:'The Black Sea has become critical in the competition between the West and Russia, and Romania provides a port which could be used as a base. As we can see first part of the sentence is exactly correct because with the helping verb has + v3 is always used The three forms of become is Become / Became / Become Option 2 is the correct answer. Sol 475. The correct answer is option 3. The conjunction however is used to express surprise by introducing a statement that contradicts or contrasts with something that has been said previously. So, we can join sentences C and D using however as sentence D introduces a contrast to what is discussed in C. River levels were creeping up as bands of rain moved into Livingston Parish late Sunday morning, however the NOAA marked down projected crests of the Amite, Comite, Tickfaw, and Natalbany to below flood stages Sunday morning after overnight rains were lower than expected. But sentences B and A are not contrasting in nature. As a matter of fact, A provides additional information about the ordinance discussed in B. So, we can use the word that to join the two sentences in the following manner: The parish council in June passed an ordinance that would levy fines, or possibly jail time, if boaters were caught on Livingston Parish waterways during closures. Sol 476. Option 1 uses the incorrect to-infinitive form 'to seeing'. The correct form here should be 'to see', as infinitives always use the simple present tense form of the verb. Option 2 uses the incorrect plural verb 'were'. As the verb is referring to the word 'neither', the correct verb should be 'neither was' and not 'neither were'. Option 4 uses the incorrect modal verb 'would', which lends no meaning here. It should be 'was'. Option 5 uses the incorrect conjunction 'than'. Given the context, the correct word here should be the adverb 'then'. Out of the given sentences, the only correct sentence is given by option 3. None of the other sentences are grammatically sound. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Sol 477. Option 1 uses the incorrect verb form 'wished'. Given the context, teh correct form should be the simple present tense form 'wish'. Option 3 uses the incorrect passive voice verb form 'cannot be said'. Since teh sentence shows active voice, the correct form should be 'one cannot say'. Option 4 uses the incorrect subjective form of the pronoun 'he'. As the sentence shows that the pronoun is the object of the verb, the correct pronoun should be 'him'. Option 5 uses the incorrect adjective 'many'. Many is used when the nouns are quantifiable. But; as 'importance' cannot be measured in units, the correct adjective here should be 'much'. Out of the given sentences, the only correct sentence is given by option 2. None of the other sentences are grammatically sound. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 478. Option 1 uses the incorrect adverb 'such'. The correct form could be 'as such', which means 'so', making the sentence meaningful. Option 3 uses the incorrect adverb 'once', meaning at one time. The context suggests that the correct word here should be 'ones'. Option 4 uses the incorrect pronoun 'those'. Since it is the noun population to which the pronoun refers, it should be 'that' and not 'those'. Option 5 uses the incorrect adjective 'latter', used to refer to the last noun in a pair of nouns. Given teh context, teh correct word here should be the adverb 'later'. Out of the given sentences, the only correct sentence is given by option 2. None of the other sentences are grammatically sound. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 479. Option 1 uses the incorrect passive verb form 'had been displeased'. The correct form should be 'had displeased'. Option 2 uses the incorrect perfect participle 'having seeing'. Perfect participle form is Having+past participle form of the verb, viz, here, having seen. Option 4 uses the incorrect preposition 'from'. I prefer one thing 'to' another. Option 5 uses the incorrect adverb form 'faithfully'. As it refers to the noun 'companions' and not to the verb, it should be the adjective 'faithful'. Out of the given sentences, the only correct sentence is given by option 3. None of the other sentences is grammatically sound. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 480. Whilst=while=during that time Option 1 uses the adverb 'then', which is incorrect here. As the sentence is comparing between two things, the correct word here should be the conjunction 'than'. Option 2 uses the incorrect preposition 'apart' the road. The correct preposition here could be 'across' the road. Option 4 uses the incorrect adverb 'when', which makes no sense here. As comparison is being made between two things, the correct word here should be the conjunction 'than'. Option 5 uses the incorrect singular pronoun 'this'. As more than one things are being referred to, it should be the plural form 'these'. Out of the given sentences, the only correct sentence is given by option 3. None of the other sentences are grammatically sound. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 481. The key to answering this question correctly lies in our ability to grasp the meaning being conveyed. The first sentence tells us that ONGC has enhanced its natural gas production. This is the result of its increased efforts to raise domestic output (as stated in the second sentence). Using phrase (I) would be inappropriate as the word despite is used to show contrast by introducing a sentence that is surprising. Phrases (II) and (III) seem to be appropriate and can be used in the following manner: State-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) has reported a record 6.5 percent jump in natural gas production as it doubles

up efforts to raise domestic output to curb imports. (Here, the conjunction as is used to provide a suitable reason) State-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC) has reported a record 6.5 percent jump in natural gas production while doubling up efforts to raise domestic output to curb imports. (Here, the conjunction while is used to indicate two actions occurring at the same time) Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 482. The correct option is option 2
The error is in part 2 of the sentence. Words joined to a singular subject by ‘with’, ‘as well as’, etc., will accommodate the singular verb. 'The President' is singular and is joined by 'along with'. Therefore, the verb should be singular. Thus, the error is in part 2 of the sentence as the plural verb form ‘are’ is incorrect. It should be ‘is.’ For example: The newly elected Prime Minister along with his Ministers is keen to reform the economy. Hence the correct answer is option 2. The correct sentence is: "The President, along with several international guests, is to be present during the swearing-in
ceremony of the new government." Sol 483. The error lies in part 4 of the sentence as the verb 'was' is missing before the verb 'created.' To frame the sentence correctly 'was created' must be used here. For eg: She was made to write the article again. A new model was constructed by the children. It should read as:'The German Empire was dissolved in the German Revolution and a democratic government, later known as the Weimar Republic, was created.' Option 4 is the correct answer. Sol 484. The correct answer is Option 1.
The error lies in part 1 of the sentence: There is an error in the subject-verb agreement of the sentence. The subject ‘Love and Poetry’ is singular since it’s a proper noun and thus the verb should be singular as well. Therefore the verb 'were’ in the first part of the sentence needs to be replaced with ‘was’ to agree with the singular subject. Correct sentence: 'Love and Poems' was the name of the book
recently published by our publishing house."
Sol 485. The correct answer is option 2, i.e. B.
The error lies in part B. The word ‘superior’ takes the word ‘to’ and not ‘than’. Correct sentence: "As a novelist, V.S. Naipaul is superior to most
contemporary Indian writers."
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Latin adjectives such as junior, senior, inferior, superior, prior are taken Latin language and they are already in the comparative degree. We cannot make a comparative and superlative degree out of them.
Sol 486. The correct answer is option 2, i.e. B.
The error lies in part B. Here the nominative form ‘who’ rather than the objective form ‘whom’ is the correct word. Correct sentence: "He was the man who the citizens decided
should be the next Mayor."
The difference between 'who' and 'whom' is a matter of case. There are three cases for personal pronouns: nominative, objective, and possessive. The nominative case is used when the pronoun is the subject of a verb. The objective case is used when the pronoun is an object — either of a verb or a preposition. The possessive case pronouns are used to show, well, possession. The pronoun who is in the nominative case, and whom is in the objective case. (whose is the possessive case). This means you use who when it’s the subject of the verb: Who decapitated the Barbie doll? And whom is used as the object of verbs and prepositions (those are the only parts of speech that have objects): The buffalo stampede trampled whom? (Whom is the object of the verb trampled.) Do not ask for whom the bell tolls. (Whom is the object of the preposition for.)
Sol 487. The error lies in part 1 of the sentence as the word 'despite' is not followed with the preposition 'of.' It means 'in spite of'.The correct structure of the sentence is: 'Despite (a condition)... (the effect)..' Eg: Despite her arrogance she won people's hearts with her actions. It should read as: 'Despite peace proposals put forth by the Arab League and United Nations, the conflict only increased as additional factions joined the armed resistance.' Option 1 is the correct answer. Sol 488. The correct answer is option 2, i.e. B. The error lies in part B. ‘Each’ is a distributive pronoun calling attention to the individuals forming the collection and must accordingly be followed by verbs in the singular. Correct sentence: Each of the students of Modern school has not done well in the engineering entrance examinations. Sol 489. The correct answer is 'B' i.e. error lies in part B of the sentence.

In the given sentence 'to' is a preposition and Jack is a proper noun and 'I' is a pronoun which should come in an objective case i.e. 'me' The object of a verb or preposition, when it is a pronoun, should be in the objective form. So the correct sentence is: I pleaded with the warden to let Jack and me go to the theatre to watch the latest Western film.
Sol 490. The correct answer is option 1. We can simply check the options one by one to eliminate incorrect choices. We find that with can be used to join sentences C and D in the following manner: In a unitary set-up, the Centre has plenary powers of administration and legislation, with its constituent units having little autonomy. Note that when we use with to join two sentences, we have to change the structure of the second sentence slightly – have is replaced with having. Sentences A and B can be joined using commas and using the – ing form of depends in the following manner: Nations are described as ‘federal’ or ‘unitary’, depending on the way in which governance is organised. Sol 491. The error lies in part 4 of the sentence as the verb 'heal' is incorrect and must be replaced with the noun 'healing.' For eg: The healing provided to the man cured him of all the diseases. It should read as:'Community health workers function to mediate between modern allopathic medicine and traditional indigenous forms of healing.' Option 4 is the correct answer. Sol 492. The error lies in part 3 of the sentence as the word 'force' is in singular form and must be replaced with the word 'forces' in plural form as the sentence refers to the forces of both Mongolia and the Soviet Union. It should read as:'The British historian Antony Beevor views the beginning of World War II as the Battles of Khalkhin Gol fought between Japan and the forces of Mongolia and the Soviet Union from May to September 1939.' For eg: The forces of the Southern States defeated the Mughals. Option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 493. Correct answer is Option 2 'inequality' should be replaced with 'inequalities', as we have plural subject. Sol 494. The correct answer is option 3, i.e. C. The error lies in part C. ‘Either’ is a distributive pronoun calling attention to the individuals forming the collection and must accordingly be followed by verbs in the singular. Correct sentence: He was asked whether either of the two sisters was at home. Sol 495. The correct answer is option 3, i.e. D. The error lies in part D. The word ‘prior’ takes the word ‘to’ immediately after it. Correct sentence: The assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was prior to the Kargil war. Sol 496.
In part B of the sentence, the usage of 'I' is incorrect instead of it use 'me' According to grammar, a preposition takes a prepositional object and an object is always a noun/pronoun/gerund also it should be in an objective case.
The error is in part 2 of the sentence. According to the 'Proximity rule' of Subject-verb agreement, when a compound subject contains both a singular and a plural noun or pronoun joined by "or" or
https://amzn.to/350yFZS "nor," the verb should agree with the part of the subject that is closest to the verb. This is also called the rule of proximity. Also, according to the same rule, Two singular nouns joined by ‘with’, ‘as well as’, ‘in addition to’, ‘together’ and ‘besides’ will have a singular verb as the number of verb is always decided on the basis of the primary subject in a sentence. In the above question sentence, 'Shooting' is considered to the primary subject that is singular in number. 'Horse riding' is an addition to the 'Primary subject' i.e. 'Shooting'. Thus, the error is in part 2 of the sentence as the plural verb form ‘are’ is incorrect. It should be the singular verb form ‘is.’ For example, Ram, as well as Shyam, was absent during the concert. Correct sentence: "Shooting as well as horse riding is taught to
cadets at the National Defence Academy every morning." Sol 497.
Both i and iii can be used to begin the sentence. “Considering that” is used to indicate that one is thinking about a particular fact/problem/situation when making a judgment or decision Considering that the storm is approaching we should move away from here. “As the storm” consists of “as”. We use “as” in the beginning of a sentence to “state the reason for something” As the storm is approaching we should move away from here. Options ii cannot act as a link. "Moving away from here considering that the storm is approaching" is not a correct sentence. Thus the correct answer is option 2. Sol 498. Only part C of the sentence is grammatically correct and hence error-free. Part A is wrong since the adjective 'general: affecting or concerning all or most people or things; widespread’ is used instead of the appropriate adverb 'generally: in most cases; usually.’ Part B is wrong since the preposition 'to’ is used instead of the appropriate preposition 'from’ which indicates a distinction. Part D is wrong since the adjective 'applicable’ is used instead of the appropriate verb 'applied’. Hence the correct answer is option 3. Correct sentence: Today, liberalism is generally thought to be inseparable from democracy so much that the term 'democracy’ is applied to denote 'liberal democracy’ unless otherwise specified. Sol 499. In the given sentences, the only verb forms that can make the sentence meaningful are 'would express', 'expressed', 'will express'. Only option 2 shows the simple past tense form 'expressed' Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 500. In the given sentences, The subject (or the one performing the act) is 'major social and
economic changes', so the corresponding verb must also refer to it. The correct verb form, then becomes 'have transformed'. This is only given by option 3. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
Sol 501. The error in B is the adjective 'significant' and should be replaced with the adverb 'significantly' as it acts on the verb 'slowed.' It should read as:'Despite previous reforms, economic
growth is still significantly slowed by bureaucracy, poor infrastructure, and inflexible labor laws.' Option 2 is thus the
correct answer.
Sol 502. The error in (A) is the absence of the word 'than' after the word 'rather.' 'Rather than' means 'used with the infinitive form of a verb
to indicate negation as a contrary choice.' It should read as:'While it is probably better to rely on markets rather than..'
Error Spotting
The error in (B) is the word 'mean' in singular form after the word 'does'. With 'does' the verb is always in plural form 'mean'. It should read as:'.. government to set pay levels, that doesn't mean that the way ..' Option 2 is the correct answer. Sol 503.
The correct answer is 3. In Part (A) of the sentence, the phrasal 'hold in' has been used incorrectly as it means to suppress, and not the same as 'hold on', which means 'to not give up'. So instead, the proper phrasal verb should be 'hold on'. In Part (C) of the sentence, the word 'forgot' has been used in the past tense though the sentence is in the present tense and so it is incorrect. Instead, it should be 'forget'. Hence, the error is in the AC part and the correct sentence would be: Sometimes we hold on to our past so dearly that we forget all about the present moment. Sol 504. The correct answer is option 4, i. e., D. The error lies in part D. In part C, "answerable is used" which is followed by the preposition "to". In this sentence, it is followed by the preposition "in" which is grammatically incorrect. Correct sentence:
Once appointed by the Governor, the Council of Ministers is answerable to the house. Sol 505. The correct answer is option (4) i.e. D.
The adjective “largest” is very specific and therefore is to be used along with the determiner “the” and not “a”. The determiner “a” is to be used before the adjectives “large” and “larger” as they are not extreme qualities. Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
Correct sentence: "The proprietor has to have good connections with people in various fields of business in order to reach out to a
larger consumer base." OR Correct sentence: "The proprietor has to have good connections with people in various fields of business in order to reach out to the largest consumer base."
The comparative adjective is used to show a characteristic or a property of one thing in comparison to another thing (only one thing). It makes a comparison between two things (not more than two). Words like 'than' and 'to' are used after comparative adjective in a sentence to show a comparison of the two things. Whenever we are comparing and "than" is present in the statement then we will use the comparative degree. And, we use a superlative to say that a thing or person is the most of a group. When we use a superlative adjective ('the tallest student') before the noun, we generally use it with 'the'. This is because there's only one (or one group) of the thing we are talking about. Sol 506. In the given sentences, The verb used is simple present tense form 'speak', so the corresponding noun must be present in its plural form, viz, 'commentators'. So, 1 and 4 cannot be correct. 'Unanimous' means fully in agreement. But, since it is used directly
after the verb, it must be in its adverb form 'unanimously'.

The determiner 'an’ cannot be used in front of a plural noun, here, 'propensities'. Choices A, C, and D are wrong since they make the sentence grammatically incorrect. Hence the correct answer is option 3.
The correct form of the verb here must be 'its being'- which refers to the state of being the most enigmatic work of 'it'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.

Sol 508. Only iii can be used to begin the sentence- Since I didn't want to take a side I put my headphones on and listened to some smooth jazz. Options i and ii cannot act as a link. Thus the correct answer is option 1. Sol 509. Only ii can be used to begin the sentence- Although the restaurant has the best kitchen in town, their staff is quite rude. Options i and iii cannot act as a link. Thus the correct answer is option 4. Sol 510. The correct answer is option 2. Only i and iii can be used to begin the sentence correctly, without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. The word 'though' is used to indicate 'despite the fact that'. The phrase 'notwithstanding the fact that' also indicates the same thing. It joins the two sentences meaningfully. The correct sentences would be: i. Though it was snowing outside, we went for a walk. iii. Notwithstanding the fact that it was snowing outside, we went for a walk. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, i.e., i and iii. Sol 511. The correct answer is option 2. Both i and ii can be used to begin the sentence correctly, without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. They join the two sentences meaningfully. The correct sentence would be: i. Having broken his legs in the accident, the doctors had to reset both of them. ii. Since he broke both his legs in the accident, the doctors had to reset them. The word 'since' means 'because'. Thus, the correct answer is option 2, i.e., Both i and ii. Sol 512. The correct answer is option 2. Only ii can be used to begin the sentence correctly, without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. The word 'though' means 'despite the fact that'. It joins the two sentences meaningfully. The correct sentence would be: ii. Though he couldn't understand a word, he had a great time. The word 'however' is used to 'introduce a statement that contradicts something that has been said previously.' and 'for' is used 'for giving a reason'. None of these words fit the context. They are not capable of joining the two sentences without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. Thus, the correct answer is option 2, i.e., Only ii. Sol 513. Option 1 i.e., Only C The phrases aim to show the deplorable state of the UN quarters and the lack of adequate staff. Use of the word “while” helps to softly understand the undertone of the situation and afford the petty state of the vacancy listing.

Sol 516. The correct answer is option 3. Only i can be used to begin the sentence correctly, without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. The word 'although' means 'in spite of the fact that'. It joins the two sentences meaningfully. The correct sentence would be: i. Although he has known her for ten years, they are not close friends. The word 'since' and 'as' means 'because'. None of them are capable of forming a single sentence without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. Thus, the correct answer is option 3, i.e., Only i. Sol 517. The correct answer is option 3. The error lies in part I of the sentence. The sentence provided to us is in the past tense. Hence, the incorrect form of the word 'spawns' has been used. The correct word to be used here should be 'spawned'. Thus, the correct answer is option 3, i.e., Only I. The correct sentence is: The popularity of corporate strategy spawned a mini-industry of brainy consulting boutiques and nearly every CEO worth his perks learned how to sort out his business by cows, dogs, stars and question marks. Sol 518. The error is in sentence B as the preposition 'of' after the word 'holding' is incorrect and should be eliminated. Here the sentence means having security forces for a particular purpose. The preposition 'of' should not be present here. Option 2 is thus the correct answer. Sol 519. The correct answer is option 1, i.e., 'Since Jim do not want to'. The given sentence is in the 3rd person present tense, i.e., 'present tense in which the subject is either he, she, or it (for singular) or they (for plural).' Since the sentence uses 'he', it is in the third person present tense. We use 'do' when the subject is 'I, you, we or they'. Since this is not the case, the use of the word 'do' makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. To correct the sentence, the word 'do' should be replaced with 'does', which is in the 3rd person present tense. It makes the sentence grammatically correct. The correct sentence is: Since Jim does not want to be seen as a braggart, he never talks about the expensive gifts he receives from his father. Sol 520. The correct answer is option 3, i.e., 'and never gave up'. The expression 'gave up' means 'to stop trying to do something because one is not succeeding in doing it'. However, this is not what the sentence implies. It implies that Dr. Martin was not trying to stop or resist the mounting pressure against his movement, irrespective of its success or failure. Also, the expression 'gave up' is usually followed by a verb in its present participle (-ing) form, which is not the case here. Thus, we can clearly see that the sentence is grammatically incorrect and needs changes. To correct the given sentence, the expression 'gave up' should be replaced with 'gave in'.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS The correct sentence is: Although he was toughly criticized, Dr. Martin Luther King was hardy and never gave in to mounting pressure against his movement
Sol 521. The correct answer is option 3, i.e., 'to far in a'. The preposition 'to' has a lot of meanings including 'towards', 'until', etc. None of these fit the context of the given sentence, making it grammatically incorrect. To correct the sentence, the preposition 'to' should be replaced with the adverb 'too', which means 'excessively' or 'overly'. The correct sentence is: You will sprain your ankle if you twist it too far in a direction it’s not supposed to go. Sol 522. The correct answer is option 3, i.e., 'as such, he always seek'. The given sentence is in the past tense. Thus, the use of the word 'seek', which is in the present tense, is incorrect. It makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. To correct the sentence, the word 'seek' should be replaced with 'sought', which is in the past tense. The correct sentence is: My father believed wisdom came from his matrilineal influences, and as such, he always sought advice from women in his family. Sol 523. 1st part of the sentence is erroneous.-- Option 1--a-- is the answer. It should be This State's unemployment rate as possession is denoted using an apostrophe. Sol 524. The correct answer is option 2.
The error is in the 2nd part of the sentence. A gerund phrase will begin with a gerund, an -ing word, and will include other modifiers and/or objects. Gerund phrases always function as nouns, so they will be subjects, subject complements, or objects in the sentence. Eg: Eating ice cream on a windy day can be a messy experience if you have long, untamed hair. Eating ice cream on a windy day = subject of the verb 'can be'. In the above question the subject is 'swimming in heated pools'. A gerund phrase is always singular and the verb that follows it should be singular too. Hence 'is' should be used instead of 'are'. Hence the correct answer is option 2. Correct answer : "Swimming in heated pools is very common in this part of the country in the winter."
An infinitive is to + the base form of the verb. The infinitive functions as a noun, adjective, or adverb. A gerund is a verbal that ends in -ing and acts like a noun. When following a verb, a gerund or gerund phrase is the object of the verb or a subject complement.
Some verbs can take both a gerund as well as an infinitive. However, the meanings of the sentence will be different.

Swimming is singular so, the verb used will be singular too.
Sol 525. The correct answer is Option 3. In option 1) just like and as both are used which is superfluous as both convey the same meaning so this can not be the correct option. In option 2) "So Charles Darwin did with his theory" is wrong grammatically; the correct phrase will use inversion - "So did Charles Darwin with his theory." In option 4) use of unlike is contrary to the context. In option 3) conjunctions used at both places are correct grammatically and contextually.
Sol 526. The correct answer is option 3) " Having Nitin arrived at his home town", here, perfect participle (having+verb 3rd form) has been used in the wrong format. The correct sentence would be like "having arrived at his town, Nitin....." so, option 1 is incorrect. "Nitin being arrived" uses present participle which is wrong here as we use a perfect participle to deliver the sense of completion of work. So, option 2) is also incorrect. In option 4) It is stated that Nitin has been trying his best but for what; the reason for his trying is not given. So option 4 is incorrect for not giving the complete meaning. In option 3) all the parts are arranged grammatically well and it utters the complete sense so it is the correct answer.
Sol 527. The correct answer is option 2. Instead of him, it should be he. We use a nominative case i.e. he whenever we use a copulative verb i.e. was. Also, instead of across, into should be used to make the sentence meaningful. Sol 528. The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Part B. The correct sentence is 'It was quite apparent that the Centre was averse to the elevation of Justice Kureshi, who is from the Gujarat High Court, but serving in the Bombay High Court on transfer'. The sentence is in the past tense so the whole structure should be followed in the past tense. Therefore, in Part B replace 'is averse' with 'was averse'. Note: The sentence is a piece of news of an event that took place in the past so, we can not change 'was' into 'is' in part (A).
Sol 529. The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. Part B. The correct sentence is 'If we had not been poor we would have been a happy family having a good education, infrastructure and adequate access to nutritious food.' This is a conditional sentence and in this type of sentence one sentence depends upon others because of cause and effect. In this case, this type of sentence follows a special structure i.e. if + subject + had + v3 + object, subject + would + have + v3 + object. Therefore, replace 'could' with 'would have been' to satisfy the structure.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Sol 530. The correct answer is Option 1 'ABC'. In part D, the error lies in the wrong usage of the tense. The auxiliary verb 'is' shows that the given sentence is in the present tense. Therefore in part D, the verb 'brought' should be replaced by 'bring'. The correct sentence is 'The wind direction is currently south-south westerly, leading to less transfer of smoke from stubble burning into Delhi, while north-westerly winds bring in the plume from Haryana and Punjab into the city.'
Sol 531. The correct answer is option 2. The error is in the 2nd part of the sentence. Explanation The preposition into- expressing movement or action with the result that someone or something becomes enclosed or surrounded by something else-has to be used instead of 'onto: moving to a location on the surface of.' 'Herded into' means 'to gather, lead, or drive as if in a herd.' Eg: ...herded the children into the car. Hence the correct answer is option 2.
Sol 532. The correct answer is 4- the error lies in the 4th part of the sentence.
We must remember it as a rule of thumb that ''seldom if ever'' and ''seldom or never'' are the correct expressions. ''Seldom if never'' is wrong. So the correct option is 4. The corrected sentence is: The actual legal responsibilities may vary between jurisdictions and are seldom if ever clear.
Seldom if ever: this expression is used as a more forceful way to say 'seldom' or 'rarely' Seldom or never: this expression is used to mean 'very rarely'

Corrected sentence: Global awareness of cups and access to them continue to be a problem in many parts of the world.
Sol 536. The preposition 'since' is used with a singular date or time. When time is measured, the preposition 'for' is used. Correct sentence: Indians and Pakistanis have been quarreling for the past six decades about the singular right on Kashmir. Sol 537. THe sentence has two errors. The first part uses the form 'as though', which is incorrect. The correct conjunction should be 'although'. The second part uses the pronoun and determiner 'whose', which is incorrect since it is only used to refer to individuals and not things. The correct determiner pronoun here should be 'which'. The thrd sentence has no errors. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 538. The sentence has two errors. The second part uses the present perfect continuous tense, with the past participle of 'be' form 'been'. Whenever a continuous tense is used, the verb is used with the suffix '-ing'. The third part uses the comparative adverb form of 'far', which is 'farther'. IT is incorrect here, since it is generally used to describe a distance. The correct word to be used here is 'further', which also a comparative adverb form; but is used to mean 'more' or 'more than'. There is no error in part 1. Therefore, the correct answer is option 5. Sol 539. The sentence has one error. The part I uses the simple present verb 'gives', which is incorrect. The correct form of the word becomes 'giving', the present continuous tense, since the sentence uses the preposition 'with'. There are no other errors. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. Sol 540. The sentence has one error. The part III of the sentence uses the preposition 'as', which is used to signify a function of something. The correct word to be used here is the preposition 'under', which is apt here. There are no errors in the other two parts. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 541. There are two errors in the sentence. The first part contains two sentences that are independent but are not joined by a punctuation mark or a conjunction. A grammatically correct sentence would contain either of the two. The second part uses the preposition 'of', which is incorrect since normalcy is a state that would be restored 'to' or 'in' a place. The thirs part has no errors. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
Sol 533. It should be 'is measured' instead of 'will measurable'. The word measure is a verb that means to assess the importance, effect or value of something. While measured is an adjective used to describe or assess the importance of something that is careful and deliberate and measurable is an adjective that means the ability to be measured. Since the sentence talks about the importance of the learning of an individual, 'is measured' should be used for the same.
Sol 542. The correct answer is option 1, i.e., 'Each disciple were seated'. The word 'were' is used with plural words or to refer to singular subjects. Here, the subject is 'each disciple', which is singular. Therefore, the use of the word 'were' makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. To correct the sentence, the word 'were' should be replaced with 'was', which is used to refer to singular subjects.. The correct sentence is: Each disciple was seated at the table, awaiting their teacher to join them for the meal.
Sol 534. The error is in the 2nd part of the sentence. The past tense of verb 'arise' has to be used which is 'arose'. The question refers to an event that occurred in the past, so the verbs should be in simple past tense. The simple past tense shows that you are talking about something that has already happened. Unlike the past continuous tense, which is used to talk about past events that happened over a period of time, the simple past tense emphasizes that the action is finished. Hence the correct answer is option 2.
Sol 543. The error is in the 3rd part of the sentence. According to the Subject-Verb Agreement rule, two or more singular (or plural) subjects joined by 'and' act as a plural compound subject and take a plural verb (singular + singular = plural). Hence the verb should be 'pile up' and not 'piles up'. Here, 'water' and 'refuse' are two subjects and they need a plural noun 'pile' after them. Hence the correct answer is option 3.
Sol 535. The correct answer is 2- the error lies in part 2 of the sentence.
There are 2 subjects in the sentence- 'global awareness of cups' and 'access to them'. We need to use the plural form of the verb ie. 'continue' as we have more than one subject. Thus, we need to replace 'continues with 'continue' to make the sentence correct.
Refuse(noun): waste matter
Sol 544. The error lies in part D of the sentence as the verb 'lasts' is incorrect and must be replaced with 'last'. With simple future tense, the verb is always used in plural form. It should read as:'.. musical project that will last for 1000 years..' Option 4 is the correct answer.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Sol 545. The error lies in part 4 of the sentence as the word 'renown' is incorrect and the adjective to be used here is 'renowned.' The sentence should have an adjective here. For eg: The artist who is visiting the school tomorrow is a world renowned one. It should read as:'In the realm of accelerators, which mainly help put startups in front of potential investors and improve their market viability, Dubai is home to various regional bases of world-renowned accelerator programmes.' Option 4 is the correct answer.

The error is in the adjective clause of the first part of the sentence. ‘When’ needs to be replaced with ‘which’. ‘when’ is a relative adverb used to indicate a certain period in time. ‘which’ is a relative pronoun used to describe things.
Sol 546. The correct option is Option (1).
The error is in the noun clause of the first part of the sentence. ‘Which’ needs to be replaced with ‘who’, as the subject of the sentence is a person and a person is referred to as ‘who’ while a thing or an event is referred to as ‘which’.
Interrogative pronouns produce questions. They are what, which, who, whom, and whose. Who, whom, and whose refer to questions related to a person or animal; what refers to an idea, object, or event; and which can indicate either a person/s or a thing/s. Example: What was the name of your dog? Which is your favourite movie? Who works for you? Whom do you prefer in this competition? The correct sentence is: “Who decides when a person should give up on their
unsatisfactory career and start over, anew?” Sol 547. The correct answer is option (1).
Relative pronouns introduce the relative clause. They are used to make clear what is being talked about in a sentence. They describe something more about the subject or the object. Example: The car that was stolen was the one they loved most. A person who loves nature is a good person. Adverb Clauses and Adverb Phrases are clauses and phrases that modify the verbs, adjectives or other adverbs in the sentence. Example: He ran toward the bus until he was tired. (Adverb Clause) He came carrying his box with two hands. (Adverb Phrase) Correct sentence: "The lasagna which Katie brought to the pot luck looked and tasted out of this world. "
Sol 549. The correct answer is option (2).
The error is in the adjective clause of the second part of the sentence. ‘Which’ needs to be replaced with ‘who’ as the noun in question here is a person. For people ‘who’ is used as a relative pronoun whereas for things ‘which’ is used.
The error is in the adverb clause of the sentence. The adverb ‘Whoever’ needs to be replaced with ‘Whenever’. The adverb ‘whenever’ indicates a point in time when something happened or will happen or is happening. ‘whoever’ as an adverb is used to describe a person.
Adverb Clauses and Adverb Phrases are clauses and phrases that modify the verbs, adjectives or other adverbs in the sentence. Example: He ran toward the bus until he was tired. (Adverb Clause ) He came carrying his box with two hands. (Adverb Phrase ) Correct sentence: "Whenever there are riots in the city due to the
government’s ignorance, the people suffer" Sol 548. The correct answer is option (1).
Relative pronouns introduce the relative clause. They are used to make clear what is being talked about in a sentence. They describe something more about the subject or the object. Example: The car that was stolen was the one they loved most. A person who loves nature is a good person. Correct sentence: "On the train, I saw a man who was reading
the same book I was reading at the time."
Sol 550. The correct option is 2.
The error is in the preposition of the sentence. The implicit meaning of the pram being on a lawn is that there is solid ground below and thus the use of the word ‘beneath’ needs to be replaced. 'Beneath' needs to be replaced with ‘aside’ – to one side or ‘inside’ or ‘away’ to make the sentence meaningful.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Correct sentence: "The pram in the lawn was pushed aside by
Carol to make way for he incoming car." Sol 551. The correct option is 1.
The error is in the preposition of the sentence. The preposition ‘part off’ has no meaning and thus needs to be replaced with ‘part from’ 'Part from' means to separate from a person. It should be placed in place of 'part off' to make the sentence meaningful. Correct sentence: "To part from her only daughter was one of the hardest things Aarthi had ever done, and yet it had to be done."
Sol 552. The correct answer is option 1 i.e. A.
The verb 'keening' is neither a proper verb form nor a valid word in English. The word 'keening' has to be replaced with the word 'keen.' Keen means 'having or showing eagerness or enthusiasm.' Example: They are both keen gardeners. Correct sentence : "Sarah is keen on learning as many languages
as possible before she goes abroad for studies."
Sol 553. The correct answer is option (1).
The above sentence uses the first conditional clause sentence, referring to future time. The error is in the ‘if clause’ of the sentence. The usage of future continuous tense is incorrect and needs to be replaced with the simple present tense to make the sentence grammatically correct. 'will be eating' changes to 'eat'.
The simple present is a verb tense with two main uses. We use the simple present tense when an action is happening right now, or when it happens regularly (or unceasingly, which is why it’s sometimes called present indefinite). Depending on the person, the simple present tense is formed by using the root form or by adding ‑s or ‑es to the end. Example: I feel great! Pauline loves pie. I’m sorry to hear that you’re sick. Correct sentence : "If I eat from your lunchbox tomorrow, I will
message you beforehand."
Sol 554. There is no error in the sentence. It has been structured correctly. Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.
Error Spotting
Sol 555. The error lies in part A of the sentence as the present perfect tense 'has been' is incorrect and must be replaced with the helping verb in past tense, 'was'. The sentence talks about the past days and present perfect tense cannot be used here. The present perfect tense is used when talking about experiences from the past, a change or a situation that has happened in the past but is still continuing today. It should read as: 'In the past India was unable to lure..' using the simple past tense. Option 1 is the correct answer. Sol 556. The correct is 3. There is an error in the subject verb agreement of the sentence. The subject of the sentence is ‘masterpiece’ is singular and thus the verb too should singular. So the verb ‘were’ in the third part of the sentence needs to be replaced with ‘was’ to agree with the singular subject. Sol 557. The error lies in part 4 of the sentence as the preposition 'in' is incorrect and must be replaced with the preposition 'of' as a sense 'of' something is instilled or portrayed. For eg: A sense of justice was popularized among the people when the case was printed on the paper. It should read as:'The reputation Canadian troops earned, along with the success of Canadian flying aces including William George Barker and Billy Bishop, helped to give the nation a new sense of identity.' Option 4 is the correct answer. Sol 558. The error lies in part 4 of the sentence as the phrasal verb 'look back' means 'think about the past' and it makes no sense here. The correct phrasal verb to be used is 'look around' which means 'inspect a building or place'. For eg: I need to look around the place in order to get a good flat. It should read as:'I have already informed him that we have liked the house and are thinking of looking around tomorrow.' Option 4 is the correct answer. Sol 559. The error lies in part 1 of the sentence as the verb 'has' cannot be used with the preposition 'to' and must be replaced with 'have.' For eg: I need to have a new bag for carrying my books. It should read as:'The emirate aims to have the world’s first blockchain-powered government by 2020, and also wants to become the world’s 3D-printing hub.' Option 1 is the correct answer. Sol 560. The error lies in part 1 of the sentence as the verb 'achieves' is incorrect here and must be written in plural form 'achieve'. With 'can' the verb is always used in plural form. Eg: I can read the whole article in an hour. She can prepare delicious food. It should read as:'No country can achieve sustainable economic development without substantial investment in human capital. ' Option 1 is the correct answer. Sol 561. The error lies in part 3 of the sentence as the adjective 'different' is incorrect here and must be replaced with the adverb 'differently' as it acts upon the verb 'treat.' Adverbs are used to define verbs and adjectives are used to define nouns. For eg: She was walking slowly.(adverb) Her walk was slow. (adjective) It should read as:'Full integration with the rest of India would promote development, and insists that there's no reason to treat Jammu and Kashmir differently either because it has a Muslim majority or because it is claimed by Pakistan.' Option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 562. The error lies in part 4 of the sentence as the preposition 'in' is incorrect and must be replaced with 'for' to make the sentence correct. ' 'Last for' conveys the correct meaning which means 'to continue.' For eg: The program lasted for five hours.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Correct Sentence: Following the funeral, people clashed with troops and it set off a deadly cycle of violence that lasted in / for days. It means the violence continued for many days. Option 4 is the correct answer.
Sol 563. Correct Option - 1 If two singular subjects are connected by ‘either/or’; ‘neither/nor’, the sentence requires a singular verb. For example : Either Ram or Ratan is having a meeting with Principal today. In the given example, singular verb is used. Therefore, ‘Either Geet or Mona is helping’ is the correct replacement. Correct Sentence - Either Geet or Mona is helping Tina today in the kitchen. Sol 564. The correct answer is 'A' i.e. error lies in part A of the sentence.

Specialized: requiring or involving detailed and specific knowledge or training Segmented: consisting of or divided into segments Sol 569.
The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Generic. In part A of the sentence the usage of 'me' is incorrect instead of it use 'I' According to grammar, 'who' is a relative pronoun which is used for the subjective case here 'who' is used for the noun written after the linking verb 'is' which is in an objective case and this is the error. Let's see an exampleIt is I who is responsible for this task. The complement of the verb ‘to be’, when it is expressed by a pronoun, should be in the nominative form. So the correct sentence is: It is I who is the Chief Guest and who will give away the prizes during the function.
Sol 565. The error lies in part 3. The sentence uses the form 'could never hoped', which is incorrect. The correct form here should be the simple present tense form of the verb, viz, 'hope', as the modal verb 'could' already expresses the tense and ability of the verb. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. The corrected sentence will be: Try hard as he might, Alvira knew
her brother could never hope to regain his health.
Sol 566.
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Insipid. Explanation
Insipid which means "lacking flavour; weak or tasteless" has been wrongly used in this context instead of Insular which means "ignorant of or uninterested in cultures, ideas, or people outside one's own experience."

https://amzn.to/350yFZS Holocaust, it was only the beginning of the (C) ________ to (D) ________ that this should never (E) ________ again. A is correct as liberation means 'to free' which is appropriately used. D and E are correct grammatically and meaningful. Clearly, B requires a verb and C requires a noun. We need to interchange C and E. The correct sentence isWhile the (A) liberation of the inmates and the (B) closing of the concentration camps may have been the end of the Holocaust, it was only the beginning of the (C) effort to (D) ensure that this should never (E) happen again.
Sol 574. The correct answer is option 4. Route means a way or course is taken in getting from a starting point to a destination. Benefits mean an advantage or profit gained from something.

Sol 576. The correct answer is appealing.
If we use 'appealing' which is a verb or gerund form of the noun appeal, it doesn't fit as per our sentence context. So in order to make the sentence grammatically correct, we must replace 'appealing' with 'appeals'. The correct sentence will be - The old man had been to all the courts in the country, and exhausted all his appeals in the process.
The meaning of the word 'appeal' is 'an application or request to a higher court to change a previous decision'.

The error lies in part 4 of the sentence as the word "Millennium: a period of a thousand years, especially when calculated from the traditional date of the birth of Christ" is incorrectly spelt here. Example sentence: With the advent of the millennium, youngsters continue to be carefully evaluated through entrance exams and personal interviews. The meanings of some of the other words are: Shrines: places regarded as holy because of its associations with a divinity or a sacred person or relic, marked by a building or other construction Stacked: put or arranged in a stack or stacks Sol 582. The correct answer is '4' i.e. error lies in part 4 of the sentence.
In part 4 of the sentence, the usage of 'Undermine' is incorrect instead use 'undermining' According to grammar, whenever we use a preposition we always use a prepositional object which can be a noun/pronoun/gerund. In the given sentence, 'undermine' is a verb which means 'make less powerful or effective' so we have to write noun form which can be 'V1+ing' form which is 'undermining' Let's see an exampleI was accused of stealing her notebook. So the correct answer is-: 'China, which shares a disputed border with India in Ladakh, has objected to the reorganisation and accused Delhi of undermining its territorial sovereignty.'

Debased (v) – lower the quality Millennials (n) - a person reaching young adulthood in the early 21st century. Lucrative (adj) – profitable From this, it is clear that both B and C use the words in a contextually and grammatically correct manner. None of the other sentences is meaningful.

Modicum (n) – a small amount Vexed (v) – confuse or annoy Served (v) – perform a duty From this, it is clear that only C uses the word in a contextually and grammatically correct manner. None of the other sentences is meaningful. Therefore, the correct answer is option 5 Sol 585. Correct option - 1 Let’s look at the meaning of the given words. Endeavour (n) - effort Exalted (v) – to glorify Briefings (n) – meeting From this, it is clear that both A and C use the words in a contextually and grammatically correct manner. None of the other sentences is meaningful. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. Sol 586. Correct Answer – 3 Let’s look at the meanings of the given words Arid (adj) – extremely dry Coalesce (v) – to fuse into a whole Emphasise (v) – stress upon From this, it is clear that C uses the word in a contextually and grammatically correct manner. A and B are not meaningful sentences. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3 Sol 587. The correct answer is option 4. In sentence A, the word means to damage the capacity or function of something in terms of strength or efficiency. The attacks have weakened / affected (adversely) the country’s total oil production. In sentence B, the word cripple means to make someone useless or powerless. The sentence states how fear can make a person unfit to think or act. In sentence C, the word crippled means physically disabled (especially referring to the use of a limb). There is no error in any of the sentences. Sol 588. The correct answer is option 1. The word to be used is ‘dragooned’ that means ‘to coerce’.The spelling is incorrect in the sentence. Sol 589. The correct answer is option 3. The meaning of the word pungent is having a strong/sharp smell or taste which causes discomfort. The word suits the context in sentence A. The durian fruit is described as pungent which made the passengers uncomfortable. However, the word sounds absurd in the sentences B and C. In sentence B, based on the structure of the sentence, a noun should be used after delicious (which is an adjective – a word describing some noun). The word pungent is an adjective and does not fit into the sentence. The word aroma suits the context as it means a strong and pleasant smell. A step inside the area’s newest donut shop is like no other, filled with delicious aromas and the sights and sounds of a donut factory. In sentence C, the word pungent should be replaced with something similar to mediocre (which means not very good). The

word bland suits the context which means lacking strong features and hence uninteresting. It's just a shame that the plot of the movie is so bland/boring/dull and mediocre.
Sol 590.
The error lies in part 4 of the sentence as the word "Assessment: the action of assessing someone or something" is incorrectly spelled here. Example sentence: There is little assessment of the damage to the natural environment. The meanings of some of the other words are: Endowed: provided with a quality, ability, or asset Adequate: satisfactory or acceptable in quality or quantity Insight: the capacity to gain an accurate and deep understanding of someone or something Hence the correct answer is option 4. Sol 591.
The error lies in part 4 of the sentence as the word "Sequestered: isolated and hidden away" is incorrectly spelled here. Example sentence: Barring an emergency, the jurors will not be sequestered until they begin deliberations. The meanings of some of the other words are: Explicit: uncensored; graphic Innocuous: not harmful or offensive Grisly: causing horror or disgust Hence the correct answer is option 4. Sol 592. The correct answer is option 4 i.e. B and C.
The error is in part A and D of the sentence. The answer is 4) B and C since we have to find the errorfree parts. In part A of the sentence: She go is wrong. She goes. In part D of the sentence: Both clauses can't be in the future tense. I am not greedy but I will take.. This is a conditional sentence, the tense in the "if" clause is the simple present, and the tense in the main clause is the simple future. If clause (condition)
Main clause (Result)
If + simple present
simple future
If this thing happens that thing will happen.
Correct sentence: "Either I go or she goes. Words were exchanged and shots were fired. I just can't work with her anymore. Also, I will not be greedy but I will take a promotion in
lieu of staying."
The simple future tense indicates that an action is in the future relative to the speaker or writer. There are no inflected forms for the future in English (nothing like those –ed or -s endings in the other tenses). The formula for the future simple is will + V (Base form). Positive Sentence: S + will + V(Base form) + object… Example: I will go to Thailand. Negative Sentence: S + will not/won’t + V(Base form) + object… Example: I will not go to Thailand. Question form: Will + S + V(Base form) +…? Example: Will you go to Thailand?
https://amzn.to/350yFZS As a general rule, use 'will' for affirmative and negative sentences about the future. Use 'will' for requests too. If you want to make an offer or suggestion with I/we, use 'shall' in the question form. For very formal statements, especially to describe obligations, use 'shall'.
Sol 593. The error lies in part 1. The sentence uses the form 'had they seen us', which is used to show a possibility of something happening, which means this conjunction 'had' is used synonymously with the conditional conjunction 'if'. Whenever we use the conjunction 'had', there is no need to use the auxiliary verb again in the sentence. i.e. 'had they seen us' (which means if they had seen us) is correct and not 'had they had seen us'. The second 'had' is redundant here. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. The corrected sentence is: Had they seen us misappropriate their
belongings they would have been enraged.
Sol 594. The error lies in A and C. The word 'but' has been incorrectly placed in A and should be placed before the word 'two.' It means except the two cities.' The error in C is the subject-verb disagreement. The subject here is plural which is 'parts of the country' thus the verb should be 'have' and not 'has.' Thus option 1 is the correct answer. Sol 595.
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. error lies in part 2nd of the sentence.
No soonerthan is a phrase of 'soon’ used to convey that the second event mentioned happens immediately after the first. when the sentence starts with No sooner, hardly, scarcely, or by the other adverbs, we use the inversion form of the subjectverb. Let's see an example: Hardly had I got into bed when the telephone rang.
Hence the correct sentence is- No sooner had I finished the meal than I started feeling sick. Sol 596. Out of the given sentences, the only correct sentence is given by option 3. None of the other sentences are grammatically sound. 'To resume' is to begin again or continue after a pause or
interruption. So, the correct preposition to be used with it should be 'in' her building, and not 'from' the building. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
Sol 597. The correct answer is option 2. 'Be' should be replaced with 'being'. The correct sentence will be: If you can't be happy being single, you'll never be happy in a relationship. Sol 598. The error lies in part 2 of the above given sentence. Thus, option 2 is the correct answer. The subject is expressing that her friend is going to be dining with her on Friday. 'Going over' is the incorrect phrase as the subject uses the possessive adjective 'my' indicating that the friend is visiting her, at her place, thus 'going over' will be replaced by 'coming over'. For example: I am going over to his house in the afternoon. He is coming over to my place in the afternoon. Thus, it can be inferred from the above examples, that possessive pronouns determine whether 'coming over' or 'going over' will be used in a sentence. Correct sentence:
Error Spotting
He is coming over for dinner, at my apartment on Friday.
Sol 599. The only grammatically correct sentence from the given options is 1. The only preposition that can make the sentence meaningful is 'by' declining and not 'from' or 'in' declining something. Declination is the noun form of the verb 'to decline', which is only used in old or formal English. But, in order to be correct, there must be another preposition after it, such as 'of'.i.e., 'in declination of' the honour, which correct, albeit an archaic form. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. Sol 600. The error lies in part 3 of the sentence as the adjective 'extensive' is incorrect after the verb 'reported' and must be replaced with the adverb 'extensively'. It should read as: 'In the first two weeks of September, corporate media outlets have reported extensively on the crisis.' Sol 601. The correct answer is 'Option 1', i.e. 'The biggest'. 'The' is used 'to refer to specific or particular nouns', and in the
given sentence, 'The country...' is already specified so there is no need to specify 'biggest forged wheel factory''. 'The biggest' should be replaced by 'biggest'.
Sol 602. The only grammatically correct sentence from the given options is 2. The sentence refers to a particular place, the asylum, so the only correct conjunction here could be 'whenever', meaning 'at any time'. Wherever cannot be used as it means 'any place'. Death refers to a specific occasion, so the prepositions 'within' or 'towards' cannot be correct. The correct preposition here must be 'before'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 603. Correct option - 2 Since, word area is a noun which cannot be followed by gerund scattering directly. Because gerund is a verb which acts as a noun and two nouns don't come together except in some cases. Hence, replace scattering with scattered which acts as an adjective here. Hence, options 1, 3 & 5 are eliminated. Now, verb flown is the third form of fly. But, triggered is a simple past form, so simple past tense to be followed throughout the sentence. So, option 4 is eliminated. Fled is a past form of verb flee which means to run away and escape from a place. Thus, option 2 is the correct answer. Sol 604. (3) has an error. ‘plans have’ is incorrect. ‘Recent uncertainty’ is a singular noun and thus, demands a singular helping verb ‘has’. Note, ‘have ’ is a helping verb for ‘Recent uncertainty ’, not ‘tax reform plans ’. Sol 605. The error is in part (1) of the sentence. It can wither be 'You did not listen' or 'You were not listening'. The helping verbs did/were both indicate past tense. 'Did' is for simple past tense and is used with the second form of the verb. 'Were' is for past continuous tense and is used with the -ing for of the verb. Sol 606.
The sentence is in the form: Subject + indirect object + object + verb The verb in the beginning of the sentence should then influence or affect the other verbs. Since the to-be verb “is” is of present form and so the verbs that follow should be of present form too. Sentences 2 and 3 are eliminated. Sentence 4 is eliminated because the preposition used here is wrong. The preposition “through” refers to the movement of an object passing straight through something while the correct preposition to be used is “in” because it refers to the presence of the watchman in the building.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Sentence 5 is eliminated because the pronoun used here which is “whose” is wrong. Hence, the correct option is option 1. Sol 607. The -ing form of the verb 'paint' in the given sentence indicates that it is either in the continuous tense or that it is a gerund. Neither one of these cases is true for the given sentence. It is also not being used to mean the noun 'painting' which means 'a complete painted picture'. Instead, it is more accurate to say that the scooter 'has red and blue stripes painted on the side' i.e. the painting has already been done. The correct version of the sentence will be: My sister rides a bright yellow scooter which has red and blue stripes painted on the side. Therefore, the error is in option 4. Sol 608. We can see that the relationship between 'tea turning cold' in the first clause and 'father heating it up' in the second clause is that of cause and effect. The conjunction 'while', on the other hand, is used to connect two clauses that take place at the same time. Instead, the correct version of the given sentence should be: Because the tea had turned cold, my father heated it up in the microwave before serving it to the guests. Therefore, the error is in option 1. Sol 609. Every verb must agree with its subject by taking on the required verb form. In the first part of the sentence, the subject is 'department' which is singular. Therefore, the verb 'ensure' must agree with it and take on its singular form i.e. 'ensures'. The correct version of this sentence will be: The department ensures that every content project fits perfectly into the company's overall marketing strategy. Therefore, the error is in option 1. Sol 610. In the given sentence, the first part talks about not liking the movie while the second part praises certain parts of it. The phrase 'due to' doesn't make sense here since it is used to mean 'caused by' or 'because of' something. The correct version of the sentence will be: To be honest, I really didn't like the movie even though the acting was good and the music was soulful. Therefore, the error is in option 3. Sol 611. The correct form of the given sentence should be: Yesterday, the Indian government issued a statement urging the public to cooperate in this enquiry. The verb form urges does not make sense in this position of the sentence. It requires the -ing form of the word. Therefore, the error is in option 2. Sol 612. The correct answer is option 3. Here, the subject of the latter part of the sentence is the pronoun 'she', which is a singular subject. Thus, the verb following the subject must be in accordance with the subject proceeding it. Therefore, the verb must change its form from 'were' (plural) to 'was' (singular). The correct version of the sentence will be: One of her most brilliant novels was written when she was working as a waitress at a local restaurant.

Sol 613. The error is in part 2 of the sentence. Here ''had Rekha'' and ''if Rekha had'' means the same thing. So this formation is correct. What's wrong is the use of 'may' which is in the present tense. We need to use the past tense. So we must use ''might'' instead of ''may.'' So, option 2 is correct.
Error Spotting
The corrected sentence is: Had Rekha not discouraged me I might have sung a song or two at your wedding.
Sol 614. All are correct. The sentence is logically and grammatically correct. There is no error in the sentence. Sol 615. The word 'past' when used as a preposition means 'beyond'. The sentence tells us that the daughter used tactics that were intended to cause a delay so that she could stay up beyond her usual bedtime. Therefore, the correct answer is 'past'. Sol 616. Correct sentence: The college authority issued a notice asking the students to submit their semester fees in cheques or demand drafts drawn in favour of the registrar and payable to any nationalized bank. Hence the correct answer is option 4. Sol 617. Correct option - 4 Since, the starter of the sentence has past tense verb had. Hence, similar tense to be followed throughout the sentence. Hence, options 1 & 5 are eliminated. Now, word any is an adjective used before singular noun only. But men is a plural noun. Thus, replace men with man. Hence, option 2 is eliminated. Since, modal are not used twice in a sentence. Thus, option 3 is eliminated. Hence, option 4 is the correct answer. Sol 618. Correct option - 3 Here, concept of indirect speech is brought under consideration. Since, indirect speech converts interrogative sentences into affirmative. Thus, following form is followed - sub + verb + rest of the sentence. It means verb does/did will come after he. Hence, options 1 & 5 are eliminated. Now, when an indirect speech has relative pronoun(wh-word) in it, conjunction 'that, if or whether' are not used in the sentence. Hence, option 2 is eliminated. Since, the sentence has past verb was, so similar tense to to be followed throughout the sentence. Hence, tells should be replaced with told. So, option 4 is eliminated. Hence, option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 619. The error lies in part B. The sentence uses the conjunction phrase 'as soon as', which shows a quick following of two events in a sentence. The part B uses the conjunction and preposition 'that', which is incorrect. There is no need to use another conjunction with the phrase 'as soon as'. This makes the use of another conjunction redundant. So, the errorless combination is ACD. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Correct sentence - As soon as I saw the bananas I knew the
monkey was hiding in the room.
Sol 620. Correct option - 1 Stories is a plural noun. So, plural adjective pronoun to be used before it. Hence, option 3 is eliminated. Also, according to subject-verb agreement, the plural verb to be used in the sentence. Hence, replace has with have. Hence, option 2 is eliminated. Now, there are certain words which carry preposition after them. So, word added carries preposition to with it in order to show that something is being added. Hence, option 4 is eliminated. Now, the word fastest shows superlative adjective degree which should be followed by a noun. But grown is a verb. Hence, replace grown with growing. It acts as a gerund noun here. Hence, option 5 is eliminated. Thus, option 1 is the correct answer. The sentence basically means that the made-up stories about India's growing economy have amplified expectations. Sol 621. Correct option - 3 It would be 'people who might'. Who is a pronoun used to introduce a clause giving further information about a person or people previously mentioned.

Sol 622. The meaning of the given sentence is implied in past tense, that is, the glue dried off and already ruined the painting in the past. In that view, beside option 2, the other options do not have correct grammar usage. "Had been" is past prefect progressive and does not fit in, "drying off" is present tense and "made" is past tense, making both invalid and disagreed in one sentence. The fourth and fifth options are not well framed. Thus, option 2 is the right answer. Sol 623. The sentence should be in present tense because it describes musicals which never ceased to be famous since its birth. Besides option 4, the other options uses "as its", "being its" and "at its" and its meaning something's belonging. Songs are not a belonging of musicals rather a part of it. Thus, the right answer is option 4. Sol 624. The error lies in part III of the sentence because it incorrectly uses "being" as it is a continuous form of verb and is not used after "to". It is corrected replacing "being" with "be" which is a base verb and used after "to". Thus, option 3 is the correct answer. Correct answer: Being told what she could do and what she could have, instilled a sense of great will to break down these boundaries and be able to prove their conventional beliefs as mere myths. Sol 625. The error lies in parts II and III because of the use "at" which points at specific location and the correction is "in"which points at a general location in part II and the use of "could be" which implies a or some possibility and "ought to be" implies an assured possibility in part III. Correct sentence: The media houses hold immense power of influence in any society with the ability to structure any story or content to fit their agenda and this power ought to be used to cater the truth and serve the weak. Sol 626. The error lies in part I with the use of "upon" when it instead should be "on". Some instances are present when both the words can be used interchangeably. Although, in the given context, the right word is "on". Thus, option 1 is the correct answer. Correct sentence: Sometimes deciding on a determined action can never be fully known which makes it difficult to follow them through and it is then that we need to seek help of our trusted others. Sol 627. Correct option - 2 On looking at the meaning and sense of the given sentence, phrases connected with conjunction and are giving contradictory meanings. Hence, replace and with but.

Error Spotting
that gender is also androgynous, which means there is fluidity between both male and female.
Sol 630. The correct answer is option 2. The phrase 'take restoring in cells' does not make any sense. The word 'restoring' means 'to bring back or re-establish'. It would make more sense if it is interchanged with the word 'place'. The phrases 'take place in cells' and 'restoring blood flow' makes more sense and are grammatically correct as well. Thus, the correct answer is option 2, i.e., B-C. Correct sentence: In one of nature's crueler ironies, the metabolic changes that take place in cells after about three hours without oxygen or glucose mean that restoring blood flow becomes damaging in itself. Sol 631.
A, B, and C are correct. Puckish means “playful, especially in a mischievous way”. Hence the correct answer is option 5. Sol 632.

Sol 636. The correct answer is option 5. The word 'composed', which means 'calm' or 'collected', doesn't go with words like 'dingy' and 'neglected', which means 'dark' and 'ignored', respectively. Thus, the word 'composed' needs to be changed. Out of all the emboldened words, the word 'dusty' would go along the words 'dingy' and 'neglected' very well. Thus, the words 'dusty' and 'composed' should be interchanged with each other'. So the correct answer is option 5, i.e., A-C Correct sentence: Though composed amid the unromantic surroundings of a dingy, dusty, and neglected back room, the speech has become a memorable document. Sol 637. ‘pilfering’ means ‘stealing (things of little value)’ while ‘upholding’ means ‘strengthening, validating, ratifying’. The meanings of the respective words show that ‘upholding’ is the correct word here. ‘subsistence’ means ‘the action or fact of maintaining or supporting oneself, especially at a minimal level’ while ‘impact’ means ‘a marked effect or influence’. With judgment, ‘impact’ suits the best, because ‘decisions have an influence’. ‘landscape’ means ‘the distinctive features of a sphere of activity’, while ‘democracy’ means ‘control of an organization or group by the majority of its members’. The decision of SC will have impact on ‘economic scenario of the country’. Thus, ‘landscape’ is the suitable word. Hence, option 1 is the correct answer. Sol 638. ‘maintain’ means ‘cause or enable (a condition or situation) to continue’, while ‘release’ means ‘set free’. Here, ‘maintained’ is used correctly thus require no changes. ‘domestic’ means ‘existing or occurring inside a particular country’.

Thus, ‘stagnation’ must be replaced with ‘expansion’. Hence, option 4 is the correct answer. Sol 639. ‘step-down subsidiary’ means subsidiary of a subsidiary (here, TSGH is a subsidiary of say ‘x’ which itself is subsidiary of Tata steel). ‘Subsidiary’ means ‘a company controlled by a holding company’. ‘Minor’ means ‘lesser in importance, seriousness, or significance’. Thus, ‘minor’ is not a correct word here and must be replaced with ‘subsidiary’. ‘interim’ means ‘temporary’, while ‘definitive’ means ‘(of a conclusion or agreement) done or reached decisively and with authority’. According to the context of the sentence, ‘definitive’ is more suitable thus, it must replace ‘interim’. ‘divest’ means ‘rid oneself of (a business interest or investment)’, while ‘direct’ means ‘control the operations of’. ‘divesting stake’ means ‘selling entire shares’. Thus, it is used correctly here and must not be replaced. Hence, option 2 is the correct answer. Sol 640. The error lies in part 4 of the sentence as the word ‘panache’ which means ‘style’ has been incorrectly spelt here. The meanings of some of the words are: Gala=> a social occasion with special entertainments or performances. Lavish=> sumptuously rich, elaborate, or luxurious. Sol 641. The word pitcher means ‘a large jug’ and it also used for ‘insectivorous plants’. Thus, in sentence A and C, correct meaning of the word is expressed.

Educated means to give intellectual, moral and social instructions. We can see that both A and C are correct and convey the right meaning. Hence, option 3 is correct. Hope refers to an expectation of something that will happen. ‘Learned’ means a person who has acquired knowledge. Option B does not fully capture the proper meaning of the highlighted words. Imminent means something that is about to happen and relates well to the word ‘future’ in the sentence, hence needing no replacement. Sol 653.

B conveys the opposite meaning as the word ‘few’ means a small number . The word tremendous also means a very great amount and needs no replacement here, Sol 654.
Only sentence B is correct. Expiate means “make amends or reparation for (guilt or wrongdoing).” Sentence A has a positive note to it and hence cannot make use of the word.

Sol 657. The only grammatically correct sentence from the given options is 5. The sentence uses the perfect participle form: 'having + past participle of the verb'. It is used in passive voice to show a completed action. In order to use the perfect participle form, the present participle 'having' must be used with the past participle of the given verb. Here, 'rose' is the past tense form of the verb 'to rise'. Its past participle is 'risen'. 'Rised' is grammatically incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is option 5. Sol 658. Correct option - 4 Let's find out the meanings of the bold words :Confines - To prevent someone or something from leaving or escaping. Trample - To deliberately ignore someone's rights or values.
Error Spotting
Curtail - To cut short; to cut off. Broken up - To break with someone or something. With reference to the sentence, it is mentioned that to cut off the existing rights of someone that are not attached with someone.

Corrected sentence: Violence is all around us spreading and clawing on forward with each new manifestation while non-violence struggles to be heard from the shadows. Sol 673. The correct answer is option 2, i.e. B. The error lies in part B. The correct idiom is ‘the ins and outs’ meaning ‘the full details’. The correct sentence is:The accountant knew the ins and outs of the financial transaction and therefore could spot the irregularity immediately. Sol 674. The correct answer is 'B' i.e. error lies in part B of the sentence.
Sol 667. All of the given words are spelt correctly.
Consequently- as a result of something. Despondent in low spirits from loss of hope or courage. Predecessor a person who held a job or office before the current holder. Gloomy- dark or poorly lit, especially so as to appear depressing or frightening.
In part B of the sentence, the usage of 'of' is incorrect instead of it use 'at' 'Hint at' means 'to talk about in an indirect way about something' Let's see an example The history textbook only hinted at the racial prejudice of that era.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 5.
Sol 668. All of the given words are correctly spelt. To utter- make (a sound) with one's voice, to say something out
loud. Monosyllabic (of a word or person) consisting of only one syllable. Consent- harmony or accordance in opinion or feeling. Plea- a request made in an urgent and emotional manner. Therefore, the correct answer is option 5.
Sol 669. Out of the given words, only gnowing is spelt incorrectly. Given the context, its correct spelling should be gnawing. Gnawing- persistently worrying or distressing. Dyspeptic- having indigestion or a consequent air of irritable bad
temper.
Difficile- abbreviation for Clostridium; difficile: a type of bacteria
that can cause serious illness and that is very difficult to treat. To suffer- experience or be subjected to something bad or unpleasant. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
Sol 670. The error lies in parts I and III, with the use of "focused" because it does not match with the present tense followed in the remaining parts of the sentence and the omission of the base verb "be" in the last part. Thus, option 4 is the correct answer. Correct sentence:

The correct sentence is:- In his work, Arthashastra, Chanakya often hints at the value of having an efficient espionage system.
Sol 675. The correct answer is option 2, i.e. B The error lies in part B. If the nouns suggest one idea to the mind or refer to the same person or thing, the verb will be singular. Here, “the rise and fall” refer to one thing, which is, “the Roman empire.” Therefore, the verb will be singular and not plural. Thus, the correct verb construction is “has.” The correct sentence is:The rise and fall of the Roman empire has been well chronicled by the British historian, Edward Gibbon. Sol 676. There is no error in the above sentence.. The verbs, tenses and subject-verb agreement that are being used in the sentence, are in accordance with the syntax thereby making sense. Hence, option 5 is the correct answer. Sol 677. (1) has an error. ‘The U.S. dollar could gone’ Simple Present Verb follows the modal helping verb ‘could’. The correct verb to be used is ‘go’.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Sol 678. The error lies in part 4. The preposition used in the sentence is 'from', which is incorrect. 'To dedicate' is to devoted to or specifically intended for a purpose. So, the correct preposition to be used here becomes 'to'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 679. The given sentence has two errors, which lie in parts B and C. Part B uses the preposition 'at', which is incorrect here. Given the context, the correct preposition should be 'as', which completes the conjunction phrase 'insofar as'. Part C uses the condensed for IT'S= IT+IS. This is incorrect here, given the context. Since it is referring to the providers 'belonging to' or 'of' the family, the correct form here should be the determiner 'ITS'. None of the other parts have any grammatical errors. So, the error-free parts are AD. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Correct sentence: The family is assured greater stability of livelihood insofar as its providers are corporation members who command respect due to their social positions. Sol 680. The error lies in part 3. The sentence uses the preposition 'in' after 'walking', in part 3, which cannot make the sentence meaningful. Given the context, the correct word here should be the conjunction 'if', as the next part is a complete sentence, dependent on the first parts. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. The correct sentence will be: Their pendant, flabby ears extend to the ground, and would impede their feet in walking if they did not support them on their hands. Sol 681. Correct option - 2 When two past actions are described with conjunction before or after, then following pattern is used Past perfect tense(1st action) + before + simple past tense (2nd action) Simple past tense(2nd action) + after + past perfect tense (1st action) Hence, replace had reached with reached. Thus, option 2 is the correct answer. Correct sentence: The train had departed long before I reached the station. Sol 682. The error is in sentence A where the word 'with' is incorrect and must be replaced with 'while' to make the sentence correct. The second part of the sentence represents a contrasting fact to what is mentioned in the first part thus 'while' fits here correctly. It means 'meanwhile.' Option 1 is thus the correct answer. Sol 683. The correct option is option 3, as the word 'suggesting' is incorrectly spelt as 'sugesting'. 'Suggest' means 'to put forward for consideration'.
'Moderate' means 'average in amount, intensity, quality, or degree'.
Sol 684. The error is in part D of the sentence as the noun 'technology' is incorrect here and should be replaced with the adjective 'technological' to make the sentence correct. The word acts on the noun 'knowledge' thus it should be an adjective. Sol 685. The error lies in part D of the sentence as the structure of the sentence has been incorrect. The word 'any' should be written after the word 'than' to structure the sentence correctly. It should read as:'.. than any other country globally.' Sol 686.
The only ways of beginning the sentence is with options I and II. 'Being a very inquisitive person by nature she will get to the bottom of this matter.’ 'As she is very inquisitive by nature, she will get to the bottom of this matter.’ Option III cannot act as a link. Hence the correct answer is option 4.
Error Spotting
Sol 687. The correct answer is option 5.
Option 5 contains the errorless sentence. Option 1 is incorrect because an adjective is used in place of an adverb. ‘severe’ must be replaced with ‘severely’, since a verb (affecting) is to be modified. Option 2 is incorrect because ‘that’ is missing. In Indirect speech, ‘that’ is used after the reporting verb. Option 3 is incorrect because wrong preposition is used in place of adverb. ‘off’ must be used instead of ‘of’. ‘off’ means ‘away from the place in question’. 'off' is perfect in context of the sentence. Option 4 is incorrect because subject-verb agreement is ignored here. ‘accompany’ must replace ‘accompanies’ because subject is plural (‘sambar and chutney’).
Sol 688. The sentences should be joined into a single compound sentence using conjunctions and punctuations at proper places while maintaining grammatical congruency and logical connections. Looking at the options, we can eliminate option 4 straightaway as although has been incorrectly used: there is no contrast in the sentences. Also, the last part of the compound sentence is grammatically unsound. Either there should be a conjunction between the words communities and simultaneously or the word develop should be changed to developing to correct the last part. Option 3 is also eliminated as the use of in spite of is not required because there is no hint of any contrast. For the same reason, option 2 is incorrect as the conjunction whereas is used to bring out the contrast or make a comparison. Option 1 seems to be sensible. While has been appropriately used as it conveys that two separate actions or effects occur at the same time. (While can also be used to highlight contrast but here, it does not serve that function). Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. Sol 689. The sentences should be read carefully to understand the meaning clearly. The nerve messenger Serotonin present in Kiwis has a relaxing effect and can help one fall asleep faster. Serotonin also helps in curbing carb craving. Option 3 is incorrect as kiwis should be followed by have not has as the word is plural. Option 1 can be eliminated because the conjunction because is used to provide explanations or reasons. It has been incorrectly used as the part of the sentence following because describes the functions of Serotonin. Option 4 seems to be appropriate. The conjunction while used here indicates that two effects or actions happen at the same time. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 690. The sentences should be read carefully in order to grasp the meaning being conveyed. Then a compound sentence should be formed using conjunctions and punctuations such that the meaning remains intact. Options 1 and 4 are not correct as these have misplaced the word normally. ‘Senior promotions are normally announced’ is not the fact being conveyed. ‘Such announcement normally includes the list of prominent executives reporting to the individual’ is what the sentences convey. This subtle difference is enough to eliminate the options. Option 3 is incorrect because the use of hence is done to say ‘for this reason’. But, the part of the sentence after hence contrasts the remaining part and is not the consequence of something. Option 2 seems logically sound. The conjunction however highlights the contrast appropriately. Also, the use of commas is grammatically correct. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 691. On a careful reading of the sentences, we get a fair idea of the content being conveyed. The single compound sentence so
https://amzn.to/350yFZS formed should be grammatically correct, conveying a similar meaning. Let us check the options one by one. Option 1 : This is incorrect because of the disruptive flow of the sentences. The use of because of twice in the sentence is unnecessary. Instead, the sentence could have been improved by using the phrase ‘because of the fact that with only around 44 branches, their standalone net profits are of Rs 34 billion in FY’2018’. Option 2 : The use of although is done to convey a surprising or contrasting element. It has been misplaced in the sentence. Citibank India’s operations are significant as their standalone net profits are of Rs. 34 billion in FY’2018. The surprise lies in the fact that they have only 44 branches. So, we can eliminate this option. Option 3 : This makes logical sense. The use of even though is done appropriately to highlight the fact that with only 44 branches, Citibank India managed to have standalone net profits of Rs 34 billion in FY’18. Option 4 : The use of nonetheless is not required as we have already used even though in the first part of the sentence. Either ‘Even though it has only around 44 branches, Citibank India’s operations in India are significant as they made standalone net profits of Rs 34 billion in FY’2018’ or ‘With only around 44 branches, Citibank India’s operations in India are nonetheless significant as they made standalone net profits of Rs 34 billion in FY’2018’ would have been a meaningful sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
Sol 692. A semicolon (;) is used as a punctuation mark to connect independent clauses – clauses which can stand alone and are complete. These are used as a stronger division in a sentence that already contains commas. Keeping this point in view, we can eliminate option 4 – the sentence ‘officially making 2018 the weakest year for home sales since 2015 and citing the data from the National Association of Realtors’ cannot stand on its own. A comma (,) could have been used instead of a semicolon. Option 1 is incorrect as the last part of the sentence is abrupt in nature which disturbs the smooth consistency of the sentence. Compound sentences are complex in nature because of the fact that such sentences are carefully formed using punctuations and conjunctions in the right places in order to make the thought flow smooth. If this is absent, we can eliminate the option. Option 3 is incorrect because the use of since distorts the meaning. Citing data from the National Association of Realtors is a reason for nothing discussed in the sentence – it is just an additional fact. Option 2 seems to be correct logically and grammatically. The fluidity is maintained in the sentence without compromising on the context. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 693. Let's look at the sentences part by part and determine the answer by process of elimination. 'Prevalent' means widespread or powerful. Given this meaning, the only meaningful form here becomes 'how prevalent', as it talks about the extent of the power. So, only options 1 and 5 are viable answers. Out of these, the sentence talks about 'depending on something', which suggests a possibility. This is only reflected by the 'may prefer'. The simple present tense form 'prefer' is not as meaningful as the former. Option 5 is grammatically correct but option 1 is grammatically and contextually correct. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. Sol 694. The only way of beginning the sentence is with option I. ‘Wanting
to impress her family with her culinary skills she made a pie which unfortunately turned out to be a disaster.’ The II starts with 'unfortunately'. 'Unfortunately' is a
connector used when a statement is already mentioned before and for contradicting the independent clause. Hence, it cannot begin the sentence. The III seems a dependent clause.
Error Spotting
The I, according to the rule of Inversion, can be a start to the sentence. Options II and III cannot act as a link. Hence the correct answer is option 1.
Extra bites: 'Inversion' is putting the verb before the subject. According to the rule, the adverbial clause starts the sentence. Sol 695. Here, the sentences indicate that the person was not affected by three days of arguments swirling around him. Hence, he did not offer an opinion. In such a case, the conjunction despite is appropriate to link the sentences. Despite means without being influenced and taking notice of something. It is similar to in spite of. So, we can use phrase (i) in the following manner: Despite three days of arguments swirling around him on topics from politics to corporal punishment, he never offered an opinion. However, we cannot use phrase (ii) and (iii) in any manner to link the sentences. Note – Though highlights contrast. It can be used to link the sentences in the following manner: Though three days of arguments swirled around him on topics from politics to corporal punishment, he never offered an opinion. But, we should understand that though should come before three days of arguments and not before he never offered. So, we cannot use phrase (iii). Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 696. The correct answer is BD.
'Tremendous' is an adjective and 'enthusiastically' is an adverb. Ideally, we should write an adverb before an adjective. Because it ‘modifies the meaning of an adjective, verb, or other adverbs, expressing manner, place, time, or degree.’ So ‘tremendously enthusiastic' is correct. Also ‘all the’ indicates a plural number. So we can't use ‘child’ in part D of the sentence. It should be 'children'. Thus, the error lies in part B and D, making option 4, the correct answer.
Sol 697. The given sentence has one error, which lies in part C. Part C uses the past tense form of the verb, viz, 'spoke'. This is incorrect, given the context. Since the tense used before the verb is simple future tense 'will', the correct form of the verb used here becomes the simple present tense of the verb, viz, 'speak'. So, the errorless combination is ABD. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Correct sentence:
If pressured by the committee, won't he speak the truth about the cheating team?
Sol 698. The given sentence has one error, which lies in part B. Part B uses the form 'had been tilled', which is passive, and hence is incorrect here. The correct form here should be 'had been tilling', which makes the sentence meaningful. So, the errorless combination is ACD. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Correct sentence:
The peasants had been tilling the land since the independence era. Sol 699. There is no error in the given sentence because all the verbs are in agreement with the tense and the singular-plural forms are well maintained.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Therefore, the correct answer is option 5.
Sol 700. The error is in Part II of the sentence. It is an error of subject-verb-agreement. 'Problems' is plural, so the verb must be 'were' instead of 'was.' So option 2 is the correct option which requires correction. Sol 701. The error lies in parts 2 and 3. Part 2 uses the pronoun 'which', which is incorrect here. Since the pronoun refers to 'persons', it must be the pronoun 'who'. Part 3 uses the preposition 'to', which is incorrect. Since the sentence talks about income getting locked up 'in' the form of pending TDS refunds, the correct preposition here should be 'in'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 702. Option 1 uses the noun 'appointment' after the auxiliary verb 'had'. This is incorrect. It should be the verb form 'Had appointed'. Correct sentence: The secretary had appointed the same person for the post. Option 2 incorrectly uses the adverb/conjunction 'as'. Removal of the word makes the sentence meaningful. Correct sentence: Even though he knew they were safe, he couldn't stop fighting. Option 4 uses the incorrect form 'would have been approve'. Correct sentence: The council would have approved the decision. Option 5 uses the incorrect form 'may currently been creating'. Correct sentence: The domain owner is currently creating quite a spectacle. Option 3 is the only grammatically correct sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 703. Option 1 uses the noun 'balance', which is incorrect. As it is used before the noun 'environment', it should be the adjective form 'balanced'. Option 2 incorrectly uses the pronoun 'theirs' (meaning belonging to them) . The correct word here should be the determiner 'them' (meaning a group of people). Option 3 is incorrect as it does not use any conjunction between the two sentences 'would it have been different' and 'he hadn't come back home'. There should be a conjunction like 'if'. Option 5 'To being heard' is incorrect form. It should be 'to be heard'. Option 4 is the only grammatically correct sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 704. The error lies in parts I, II, III. In the given sentence, Part I uses the ‘ing’ verb as the main verb and without any ‘be‘ verb [like is, was]; which is grammatically incorrect. Instead of being in continuous tense, the main verb here should be either in simple present form ‘advises’ or simple past ‘advised. In the given sentence, Part II starts with ‘to brushing’ which is wrong The verb ‘advise’ as followed by noun phrase ‘his patients’ must take the ‘to –infinitive’, i.e. to brush. In the given sentence, Part III is grammatically incorrect as it contains ‘before go’. Either ‘before you go’ or before going’ should be used here. Therefore, the correct option is 5. I, II, and III. Correct sentence: The dentist advised his patients to brush teeth twice a day, once in the morning and another before going to bed at night. Sol 705. Parts I, II, and III all have errors. In part I, the phrase 'have predictions that' is incorrect. The correct phrase will be 'have made predictions', or 'have predicted that', as given in the alternative. In part II, the phrase 'bound to', which means 'tied to', is incorrect. The correct phrase will be 'bound for', which means 'headed for'. In part III, the preposition 'along' is incorrect. The correct preposition will be 'across', as given in the alternative'. 'Across multiple sectors' means 'affecting multiple sectors'. Thus. the correct answer will be Option 5, that is, 'I, II and III'.

Sol 706. The sentences suggest that there is a time-relativity between the sentences, i.e., the second happens after the first. In such cases, conjunctions like 'after' or 'since', as shown by I. So, a contextually coherent joined sentence is given by Only I. None of the other phrase/s can make the sentence meaningful. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 707. The correct answer is option 1. The words 'as', 'since' and 'because' carry the same meaning, i.e., 'for the reason that'. All three can be used to begin the sentence correctly, without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. The correct sentences would be: i. As we were running late, we didn't read the final chapter, yet we still enjoyed the book. ii. Since we were running late, we didn't read the final chapter, yet we still enjoyed the book. iii. Because we were running late, we didn't read the final chapter, yet we still enjoyed the book. Thus, the correct answer is option 1, i.e., i, ii and iii. Sol 708. Correct Option – 5 Let’s look at the meanings of the given words: Idiosyncratic(adj) – unique Coup(n) – triumph, achievement, takeover Rancid(adj) – sour, foul From this, it is clear that A and B use the words in a contextually and grammatically correct manner. C is not a meaningful sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is option 5. Sol 709. The correct answer is option 1.
There is no word like 'ruddurless.' So, the error lies in part A of the sentence. The correct word can be 'rudderless' which means 'without anyone in control and therefore unable to take decisions' has been spelt incorrectly; or it could have been 'radarless', which means lacking a radar(a system for detecting the presence, direction, distance, and speed of aircraft, ships, and other objects, by sending out pulses of radio waves which are reflected off the object back to the source.) But since, there is a saying "like a rudderless ship/boat" which means "if an organisation, company, government, etc, is like a rudderless ship, it has no clear direction and drifts about without reaching its goals." The correct word should be 'rudderless.'
Thus option 1 is the correct answer.
The other words:-
Discussion: the action or process of talking about something in order to reach a decision or to exchange ideas Threatened: stated one's intention to take hostile action against (someone) in retribution for something done or not done Overwhelmed: give too much of something to; inundate
Sol 710. Correct Answer – 4 Let’s look at the meanings of the given words: Appease (v) - calm Wane (v) – decrease in size Subsistence (n) – livelihood From this, it is clear that C uses the word in a contextually and grammatically correct manner. A and B are not meaningful sentences.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
Sol 711. The error lies in part 4 of the sentence. The preposition 'at' is incorrect after the word 'perpetrated' and must be replaced with 'from' to convey proper meaning. It should mean 'actions performed from a distance'. For eg: The crime was perpetrated from a distance so it took some time to catch the criminals. It should read as:Human beings have limited capacity to internalize the consequences of actions perpetrated from a distance. Sol 712. The two sentences give information about IAS officer named K Jayaganesh. The conjunction wherein means in which. It is mostly used in formal writing. Here, the word does not suit the context and hence, we can eliminate phrase (II). We can use phrases (I) and (III) in the following manner: Hailing from a poverty-stricken family in Vinavamangalam of Tamil Nadu's Vellore district, IAS officer K Jayaganesh cracked the Civil Services exam in 2008 in his seventh attempt IAS officer K Jayaganesh, who cracked the Civil Services exam in 2008 in his seventh attempt, hailed from a poverty-stricken family in Vinavamangalam of Tamil Nadu's Vellore district. Thus, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 713. The error lies in part 3 of the sentence as the adjective 'fast' in positive form is incorrect after the word 'much' and must be replaced with the adjective 'faster' in the comparative form to make the sentence correct. It should read as 'Average global sea level has increased eight inches since 1880, but is rising much faster on the U.S. East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico.' For eg: She walks much faster than her brother. Option 3 is the correct answer. The word 'much' is a quantifier and determines the extent of quickness in the rise of temperature. Sol 714. The correct answer is option 2.
There is an error in the subject-verb agreement of the sentence. The subject of the sentence is ‘Anita’s ability to code and hack’ is singular and thus the verb too should singular. So the verb ‘were’ in the second part of the sentence needs to be replaced with ‘was’ to agree with the singular subject. Correct sentence: "Anita’s ability to code and hack at such great
speed was a topic of discussion in the office every day."
Sol 715. The correct answer is option (3).

The error lies in part C. A pronoun must agree with its antecedent in person, number, and gender. Here ‘those’ is plural, therefore ‘I’ in I hear should be ‘they.’ Correct sentence: I am not one of those persons who believe everything they hear about other people.
Sol 717. The correct answer is option 5, i.e. E. There is no error in the sentence. The complement of the verb ‘to be’, when it is expressed by a Pronoun, should be in the nominative form. Correct sentence: I am the one whom you want if you want the job to be done satisfactorily. Sol 718. Correct Answer – 1 Let’s look at the meanings of the given words: Forlorn(adj) – sad Peruse(v) – examine Bifurcation(n) – division into two parts From this, it is clear that B and C use the words in a contextually and grammatically correct manner. A is not a meaning sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. Sol 719. In the given sentences, the noun is plural 'troops', so the corresponding verb must also reflect this. It should be 'have been deployed' or 'had been deployed'. This is only shown by option 3. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 720. In the given sentences, as the sentence uses the preposition 'to' before a verb, it indicates a 'to-infinitive'. It always takes the simple present tense form of the verb. This is only shown by options 1 and 4. But, the correct form is 'to have come down' and not 'to have came down', since the verb is in the present perfect tense and the verb should be in its past participle form. So, option 1 is correct. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. Sol 721. In the given sentences, 'the apex court' is the subject or the primary 'actor'. So, it must directly refer to the verb of the sentence. This is only shown by option 4. The verb forms 'has/had/have been' ruled refer to the object of the sentence. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 722. In the given sentences, the meaning of the first sentence suggests 'after having her breakfast, the girl left'. This type of completed action is shown by a perfect participle. Perfect participle is formed by using having+ past participle.
This is only shown by option 1.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.
Sol 723.
The error is in the subject-verb agreement of the sentence. The subject of the sentence is ‘trees’ is plural. Thus the verb ‘was’ in the third part of the sentence must be replaced with ‘were’ to agree with the plural subject. Correct sentence: "The villagers felt like they could hear the trees crying out in pain as they were chopped by the lumberjacks. "
Sol 716. The correct answer is option 3, i.e. C.

Out of these, Option 3 uses the preposition 'of', which is incorrect here, in the given context. The correct word here should be the adverb 'off', meaning 'starting from'
Sol 724. In the given sentences, the noun used is the plural 'thousands', so the corresponding auxiliary verb must be 'have been working' or 'had been working'. This is only given by option 2. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 725. In the given sentences, The noun used in the sentence, 'the announcement' is singular, so, the corresponding verb must be 'seemed' or 'seems'. This is shown only by options 2 and 5. Since the verb used after the preposition is simple present tense verb 'hit', it must be a 'to-infinitive'. So, the correct preposition here becomes 'to' and not 'for'. So, only option 2 is correct. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 726. The error in D is the word 'source' in singular form which needs to be in plural form 'sources' as the sentence talks about plural subjects. It should read as:'The United States is the largest
source of international tourists to India, while European Union nations and Japan are other major sources of international tourists.' Option 4 is the correct answer. Sol 727. The error in C is the absence of the article 'a' before the adjective 'self-sufficient'. The article is needed as the sentence talks about one country. It should read as:'..and a self-sufficient country..' Option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 728. The sentence is of present tense as can be seen from the use of the verb “believes”. The verbs that follow should also be of the present tense form. However, the sentence contains an incorrect helping verb in part (4). The verb “will have” is of future perfect tense and is therefore incorrect. Therefore, the correct sentence: My grandmother believes in the saying, “From dust you are born and to dust you will return.” Hence, the correct option is 4. Sol 729. The error lies in parts 1 and 2. Part 1 uses the preposition 'from' before 'the presidential' which is incorrect. The correct preposition is 'of'. Part 2 uses the simple past tense form 'spent', which is incorrect here. Since the sentence begins with the phrase 'At this stage...' we understand that the activity is ongoing, that is why the tense used will be present tense. Therefore, 'spend' which is the simple present form of the verb will be used. Part 3 is grammatically correct and hence does not require any corrections. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 730. The underlined part of the sentence is grammatically incorrect. The structure of the sentence is in simple present, hence the verb in the underlined part of the sentence should also be in the present tense. The adverb 'erroneously’ meaning ‘in a mistaken way; incorrectly’ should be used instead of the adjective 'erroneous’. Hence the correct answer is option 1. Sol 731. The correct answer is option 5.

Only ii is capable of joining the two sentences but that too with the help of a conjunction, i.e., 'unless', in between the two sentences, which is not allowed. The sentences are to be combined with connectors at the beginning of the sentence. Thus, i, ii and iii, all are incapable of joining the two sentences. Thus, they cannot be used. Therefore, the correct answer is option 5, i.e., None of these.
Sol 732. Option 4 i.e., Only C The sentence shows how the rebels attract the crowd by their music. The question uses the words “beats and words”, however, Option A and B use the words “lyrics and beats” and “words and beats” respectively. Both these while they mean the same thing, are incorrectly placed. Option C not only uses the nouns in their correct order but also uses them along with the proper conjunctive noun “particularly”. Sol 733. Option 1 i.e., Both A and C The sentence aims to convey that the office spaces in the city is costly and thus it is a good option to move it to lesser populated areas. For the above sentences to be coherent, there is a requirement to make sure that there is a conjunction such as “thus” or “and”. The adjective “costly” is modal and is emphasized through proper use of conjunctions. The same can be seen in Option A and C. Sol 734. The correct answer is option 2. Only i can be used to begin the sentence correctly, without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. The word 'although' means 'in spite of the fact that'. It joins the two sentences meaningfully. The correct sentence would be: i. Although Cassie had a lot of work to do, she went to the movies. The word 'since' means 'for the reason that'. It does not fit the context and is incapable of joining the two sentences without changing the meaning of the initial sentences. Thus both ii and iii are rejected. Therefore, the only correct answer is option 2, i.e., Only i. Sol 735. By reading the given sentences carefully, one can infer the meaning being conveyed. When we link the two sentences together, there should be no change in fluidity, meaning, and tenses. Phrases (I) and (II) cannot be used without changing the structure of the sentence. So, these phrases cannot be used to form a meaning single compound sentence. Phrase (III) can be used in the following ways: Sundar Pichai was appointed CEO of Google, replacing Larry Page who became the CEO of Alphabet. Or Replacing Larry Page who became the CEO of Alphabet, Sundar Pichai was appointed CEO of Google. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 736. The error lies in part 1. The sentence uses the preposition 'through', which is incorrect, given the context. The correct word here must be the conjunction 'though'. Parts 2 and 3 are grammatically correct and hence do not require any corrections. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 737. The error lies in part 3. The sentence uses the determiner 'its', which is incorrect here as the sentence refers to the NGOs, so it must be the plural form 'their'. Parts 1 and 2 are grammatically correct and hence do not require any corrections. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 738. The error is in part D as preposition ‘with’ is incorrect. Preposition ‘by’ should be used instead of ‘with’ because ‘by’ indicates or identify the agent performing the action whereas ‘with’ indicates the agent used to perform the action.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Therefore, the correct sentence is: Before you fall for big brands and even bigger discounts, take time to consider products that are made by a real person. Usage of ‘with’ and ‘by’ for better understanding are as follows: 1. Students of DAV School made candles by themselves for Christmas. 2. Students of DAV School made candles with the help of wax.
Sol 739. Correct answer: Option 4. "Is" (verb) will not take a plural object. Hence, it should be a good idea. the lay of the land basically suggests the way the land in an area is formed and what physical characteristics it has Sol 740. Correct Answer: Option 4. Part B and C don't have any grammatical mistakes. In part A), there is only one candidate, which is a singular noun and we place 's to form its possessive case. So it is very authentic to use "candidate's" to get the sense: teamwork skills of the candidate. In part D), the use of preposition to in the phrase "perfect to the job" is Incorrect rather use "perfect for the job."
Sol 741. Option 1 i.e., Only A The sentence aims to convey that the Indonesian government is planning to move the capital from Jakarta as it is sinking, however, the sentence also highlights that the plans may not go as planned as there will be opposing groups. Option B uses the verb after the proper noun and prior to the conjunction, thereby applying an incorrect sentence formation. Option C conveys a meaning that the capital of Jakarta is being moved, which is incorrect information. Sol 742. The erroneous part is (4)
Let's look at each part of the sentence: Since 7th January: Here, the use of the conjunction 'since' is correct because a specific date, that is, '7th January' is mentioned the Park Circus Maidan in central Kolkata: The article 'the' is correctly used because it is talking about a particular place named 'Park Circus Maidan'. Also, because 'central' indicates a region or zone of Kolkata, it will not be preceded by an article has been the site of a sit-in protest: Present Perfect Tense to indicate a past event that has present consequences, that is, the protest started in the past but its consequences are in the present for the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019: Since a 'protest' is a statement or action expressing disapproval of or objection to something, it can never be 'for' something but is always 'against' something. Hence, this part has an error. Thus the correct sentence is: Since 7th January, the Park Circus Maidan in central Kolkata has been the site of a sit-in protest against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019.
A preposition is a word or set of words that indicate the location (in, near, beside, on top of) or some other relationship between a noun or pronoun and other parts of the sentence (about, after, besides, instead of, in accordance with). A preposition isn't a preposition unless it goes with a related noun or pronoun, called the object of the preposition. Examples:
Error Spotting
Let's meet before noon. Before is a preposition; noon is its object. We've never met before. There is no object; before is an adverb modifying met.
Sol 743. The correct answer is option 2, i.e., 'was innocent, he is'. The given sentence is in the present tense. The word 'was' implies the past tense. Thus, it makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. To correct the sentence, the word 'was' should be replaced with 'is'. The correct sentence is: Because Bill knows he is innocent, he is going to waive his right to an attorney. Sol 744. The correct answer is option 3, i.e., 'suppose to be perfect'. The phrase 'suppose to be' is incorrect and is against the rules of grammar. The rule is that the past participle of the verb + 'to be' is to be used. Here, the verb is 'suppose'. Therefore, the correct phrase is 'supposed to be', which means 'expected to be'. The correct sentence is: In an Orwellian society, a world that is supposed to be perfect is actually horrendous and corrupt. Sol 745. The correct answer is Option 2. In Part B, the error lies in the wrong usage of the subjectverb agreement. The subject 'judgement' is singular so it should follow the singular verb 'is' instead of 'are'. Therefore, the correct sentence is 'The Supreme Court’s judgment on Friday in the matter of Essar Steel’s bankruptcy is a landmark in the short history of insolvency and bankruptcy resolution in India'
Sol 746. The correct answer is Option 3). His large family, whom he has to feed is not the outcome of his good salary. 'Since' is used to show the reason which doesn't make any sense here. So the option 1) is incorrect. But is used to introduce a phrase or clause contrasting with what has already been mentioned. e.g. "he stumbled but didn't fall". In option 2) there is no such combination. Hence it's also not correct. Option 4) is incorrect for not using helping verb 'is' before drawing. In option 3) all the sentences are framed grammatically correct and make a clear sense. So, option 3) is the correct answer.
Sol 747. The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Part A. The correct sentence is 'After he gets the promotion, he will get the highest rank given in the police department through State PCS with a handsome salary, many other perks and the due respect in the society.' The error lies in Part A. This is a conditional sentence and in this type of sentence one sentence depends upon others because of cause and effect. In this case, this type of sentence follows a special structure i.e. 'conditional word + subject + v1/v5 + object, subject + will + v1 + object'. Therefore, replace 'would' with 'will' to satisfy the condition.
Sol 748. The error is in the 2nd part of the sentence. The incorrect preposition 'up' is used in the phrasal verb instead of the correct one 'to'. Saying 'D.C. swelled up approximately 500,000 people'
https://amzn.to/350yFZS means D.C. expanded approximately 500,000 people which makes no sense. 'Swelled to' means 'expanded up to' which is correct. Hence the correct answer is option 2.
Sol 749.
We invert the subject and verb after not + a prepositional phrase or a clause in the initial position. Prepositional phrase modify noun and verb while indicating various relationship between 'Subjects' and 'Verbs'. Thus, option 5 is the correct answer and the sentence does not require any improvement. Correct sentence: Not until I got home did I realize that my shoes were untied.
Sol 750. The sentence has no grammatical errors. Not only ... but is the coordinative conjunction that is used to join two sentences and emphasize the parallelism in them. Here, the parallelism is maintained in the statement as 'caused' is the common verb the result of which, in both cases, was negative. Therefore, the correct answer is option 5. Sol 751. The sentence has no grammatical errors. Inasmuch as is a conjunction phrase that means 'to the extent that' or 'since'. It is used synonymously with "Insofar as", "So far as" etc. As 'trade between member states' is a singular subject so it will take singular verb - 'is'. So option 4) is the correct answer. Sol 752. It should be ‘across’ instead of ‘cross’. Across is the right word in the context of the sentence. Across means expressing position or orientation. Cross means pass in an opposite or different direction; intersect. Therefore across is the right answer, as the context of the sentence is humour is the best tool for the speaker to express his opinions or philosophy. Sol 753. The error lies in part 3. The sentence uses the adjective form 'absolute', which is incorrect. Since it refers to the verb 'to count on', it should be in its adverb form 'absolutely'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 754. It should be ‘blessed’ instead of ‘blessing’. The word blessing is grammatically incorrect in this context and blessed makes more sense. Blessed means that the fortune has been handed down by a deity of some sort. Whereas blessing means is a favour or gift bestowed by God. Therefore blessed makes more sense in this context. Sol 755. There is one error in the sentence. The third part of the sentence uses the past perfect continuous tense verb 'been acted', which is incorrect. The rule when using the perfect continuous tense is to use 'been' + verb + '-ing' suffix. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Sol 756. The correct answer is Option 1, i.e., part A. The sentence uses the incorrect adverb 'thus'. The adverb 'thus' means therefore or so. Given the context of the sentence, the appropriate form here is conjunction, such as 'and', which makes the sentence meaningful. Thus the rectified part is: 'With lower capacity utilization in most sectors and'.
Sol 757. The correct answer is option 5 as the sentence is logically and grammatically correct.
Error Spotting
Sol 758. The error lies in part A of the sentence as the preposition 'with' is incorrect and must be replaced with the preposition 'of' to make the sentence correct. The words 'regardless of' means 'despite the prevailing circ*mstances.' It should read as: 'Regardless of criticism, India is putting..' Option 1 is the correct answer. Sol 759. The correct answer is option 3, i.e. C. The error lies in part C. Certain adjectives such as ‘unique’ do not admit comparisons because their meaning is already superlative. ‘Most unique’ is a wrong construction as the word .most’ is redundant. Correct sentence: The pyramids of Gaza are one of the Seven Wonders of the World and are unique man- made structures. Sol 760. The correct answer is '1' i.e. error lies in the first part of the sentence.
The error is in the adverb clause of the sentence. ‘Clever’ is an adjective that needs to be replaced with the adverb ‘cleverly’. The word ‘clever’ is in relation to the verb ‘dodged’ and thus needs to be modified accordingly.
Adverb Clauses and Adverb Phrases are clauses and phrases that modify the verbs, adjectives or other adverbs in the sentence. Example: He ran toward the bus until he was tired. (Adverb Clause ) He came carrying his box with two hands. (Adverb Phrase ) Correct sentence: "Alex very cleverly dodged the bullet while
Ryder was left holding the gun."
Sol 761. The correct option is 2.
The error is in the determiner in the second part of the sentence. Grammar rules say that ‘very’ is used when it comes to sentences with adjectives. In this sentence the adjective is ‘late’ and so ‘very’ should be used instead of 'much'. Correct sentence: "The warden was furious with Angela as she
was very late in handing over the cheque for her fees." Sol 762. The correct option is 1.
From time period 1 to time period 2 - indicates a length of time. For example: I had lived in Delhi from 2014 to 2017. (for 3 years) Since (Prep.) indicates a past time until a later time, or until now.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS For example: I have been living in Delhi since 1964. (from 1964 until now) The given sentence implies that William's ice-cream gained popularity for the first time in 1970 and since then its popularity still exists. Correct sentence: "Since the 1970s, William’s has been the most
popular ice cream parlor in town." Sol 763. The correct option is 1.

Their meanings are: Appropriation: the action of appropriating something Indigenous: originating or occurring naturally in a particular place; native Preservation: the action of preserving something Intellectual: relating to the intellect Sol 769.
The correct answer is option 5 i.e. No error. Explanation
The error is in the preposition of the sentence. The preposition ‘apart of’ has no meaning and thus needs to be replaced with ‘apart from.’ 'Apart from' – means except for – should be used to make the sentence meaningful. Correct sentence: "Apart from being a national level swimmer,
Donna was also a model and an amateur ventriloquist." Sol 764. The correct answer is option 2.
The error is in the preposition used in the sentence. The implicit meaning of the sentence is that Alicia did not find it justifiable that she should go back to a person that humiliated her. For something to be above one means that something is greater than one and thus ‘above’ needs to be replaced with ‘beneath’ – for something to be beneath someone means for it to be below what one should do or is expected to do – to make the sentence meaningful. Correct sentence: "Alicia found it to be beneath her to go back to
a person who had degraded her so much." Sol 765. The error lies in part D of the sentence as the preposition 'in' is incorrect and should be replaced with 'under'. 'Under' means 'extending or directly below' and fits here correctly. It should read as: '..under flyovers as night shelters for them..' Option 4 is the correct answer. Sol 766. The error lies in part 4 of the sentence as the verb 'retained' in past tense is incorrect. The sentence talks about a future activity and the verb should be in present tense as it talks about something general,a particular type of economy. Eg: The society which promotes every individual irrespective of their genders, shuns the existing negativity and infuses positivity is yet to be found. It should read as:'The programme, which will be rolled out over the next three years, aims to support the capital’s transition to a highly productive, knowledge-based economy which develops, attracts and retains the best global talent.' Option 4 is the correct answer. Sol 767. The error lies in part 3 of the sentence as the plural verb 'were' does not agree with the singular subject 'republicanism'. The correct verb to be used here is 'was.' For eg: The problems were avoided instead of being solved. It should read as:'After the war, supporters of Britain tried to repress the republicanism that was common among American immigrants to Canada.' Option 3 is the correct answer.
All the words printed in bold are correctly spelt and appropriate in the context of the sentence. Their meanings are: Guiding: directing or influencing the behaviour or development of Dynamic: (of a process or system) characterized by constant change, activity, or progress Stock: "take stock" is a phrase meaning "make an overall assessment of a particular situation, typically before making a decision" Abolition: the action of abolishing a system, practice, or institution Sol 770. The correct answer is option 2. Competitive means relating to or characterized by competition. Synergies means the interaction or cooperation of two or more organizations, substances, or other agents to produce a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate effects. We can look into the sentence in the following wayIt is important that the most (A) _____, successful and well (B) _______ winning brands drive (C) _____ to make their (D) _____ value chains sustainable and (E) _____. A justifies the bold word. B requires an adjective and is correct. C requires a noun and D requires an adjective. Clearly C-D needs to be interchanged to make the sentence meaningful. The correct sentence isIt is important that the most (A) responsible, successful and well (B) identified winning brands drive (C) synergies to make their (D) competitive value chains sustainable and (E) inclusive. Sol 771. Correct option: 4) changed - the error lies in this word only. Here we want to say that Football maintained its popularity even though the time is changing, so we must replace 'changed times' to 'changing times' So the correct sentence will be - Football is a game which originated in the public schools of England and it has consistently maintained its popularity with the changing times. Sol 772. The correct answer is option 5 i.e. A-C and B-D. We can look into the sentence in the following way: The (A) __________ of doubling farm income and diversifying to high value (B) __________ can earn some brownie points with the (C) ___________, whereas implementation of the (D) __________ of diversification in the water-stressed, cereal-intensive states of the country may not be (E) _____________ for the same reason.

Rhetoric- the art of effective or persuasive speaking or writing, especially the exploitation of figures of speech and other compositional techniques. Agriculture- the science or practice of farming Alluring- powerfully and mysteriously attractive or fascinating It is evident that E maintains its position. From the given meanings, we can conclude that A should be interchanged by C
https://amzn.to/350yFZS as it is followed by the said ‘rhetoric’ and ‘brownie points’ can be earned with the ‘electorate’. So, A-C. Again, ‘agriculture of diversification’ is incorrect’. It is best interchanged with ‘recommendations’. So, B-D. This makes option 5 – A-C and B-D the correct answer. Correct Sentence - The (C) rhetoric of doubling farm income and diversifying to high value (D) agriculture can earn some brownie points with the (A) electorate, whereas implementation of the (B) recommendations of diversification in the water-stressed, cerealintensive states of the country may not be (E) alluring for the same reason.

So, all the sentences use the word offensive correctly.
Sol 774. The error lies in part 1. The sentence uses the form 'have engulfed', which is incorrect here. The correct form here should be either 'has' or 'had', since the 'mist' is singular and so the corresponding auxiliary verb form must also be singular. Therefore, the correct answer is option 1. Te corrected sentence will be: The cold mist has engulfed the
entire town as if reclaimed in its own parallel dimension. Sol 775.

Sol 779. The correct answer is option 2. The meaning of the word sumptuous is grand and expensivelooking. The word is used correctly in sentences B and C.

Sol 785. The correct answer is option 2. The meaning of the word jaunty is having a cheerful and lively character. The word is suitably used in sentence A. The word can also mean stylish in fashion sense. The word is used in this context in sentence B. However, the word is used incorrectly in sentence C. The context refers to an uncomfortable situation. So, the word tedious suits better which means boring and tiring. Travelling to the beach can be a tedious/tiresome task when you're stuck in traffic. Sol 786. The correct answer is option 4- Only C Explanation The meaning of the word uncouth is behaving in an unrefined and unpleasant manner. The word suits the context discussed in sentence C which states that forgiveness does not justify the uncouth/uncivilized/unsophisticated behaviour of others. However, the word sounds absurd in the sentences A and B. Instead, the word uncanny is more appropriate. It means strange and mysterious. These nugget-size snacks bear an uncanny/strange resemblance to the sweet-and-sour chicken found in China Valley restaurant. Since he was in public life, Jaitley had the uncanny/unnatural ability to simplify complex legal arguments.
Sol 787. The correct answer is option 4.

not fit here. The sentence is talking about some steps to modernize the environment and a way of achieving them is mentioned. The word 'rather than' should be focused on. The given phrase is incorrect.
Error Spotting
Options A and B do not fit here too. Option C has 'even if' which means 'despite the possibility that; no matter whether.' This conveys a proper meaning that even if the steps are taken sequentially and not concurrently, they are helpful in modernizing the environment. Thus option 3 is the correct answer. Sol 792. The correct answer Option (2) i.e 'as a key partner' instead of 'as key partner'.
The 'D' part is flawed in the sentence given. According to a rule of indefinite article 'A', 'A' conveys the idea of 'one' or 'single' out of all the other. For E.g. She is a girl considered to be smart as others are. Keeping the same notion forward, the given question sentence conveys the idea that the United States counts India as one of its key partners in its strategic planning. It is inferred from the statement that there might be other key partners also of the United States. Thus and so, Article 'a' is supposed to be placed before 'key partner. as key partner in its strategic planning as a key partner in its strategic planning
The United States on Wednesday renamed its strategically important Pacific Command (PACOM) the U.S. IndoPacific Command, in a move widely seen as a public expression of America’s keenness to count India as a key partner in its strategic planning.
Sol 793. The correct answer is option 3 i.e. A and D.
The error is in part A and D of the sentence. Option (3) A and D is the correct answer. Note that the bold part exclaims that the person is still there. Thus, the person started waiting some point back in time and is still doing it. Thus, we must use past perfect continuous tense in part A. Hence, For how long are you waiting should be replaced with "For how long have you been waiting...." In part D of the sentence: It should be - You must really love her. Must is a modal verb and it takes the base form of the verb. Correct sentence: "You are still here! For how long have you been waiting for your wife to come? You were here when I saw you in
the morning and now as well. You must really love her."
The present perfect continuous verb tense, also known as the present perfect progressive, is used to describe an action that first started in the past and is still happening in the present, or is still relevant to other events happening in the present. The structure of the Present Perfect Progressive tense is: have/has + been + V-ing (present participle) Examples: They have been learning English.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS I have been waiting for one hour. Present Perfect Progressive Contractions: The subject and the first auxiliary are often contracted when using the Present Perfect Continuous tense in speaking and in informal writing. Have = ‘ve ; Has = ‘s Sol 794. (B) is the error-free part. In (A), ‘despite’ cannot be used in the context of this sentence. It should be either ‘though’ or ‘although’. In (C), various issues are mentioned in this given sentence: dislocations in Indian society created by the advent of British rule, the dislocation created by the penetration of the British rule into the countryside, the resistance against the rule. So, we should use ‘have been’, and not ‘has been’. In (D), It should be ‘on’ and not ‘in’. ‘On’ is used with an object, ‘in’ is used with ‘scope or context’. ‘Subaltern classes’ is the object and so, we use ‘on’. Hence, 1 is the answer. Sol 795. Correct answer: Option 5. This sentence is grammatically correct. "Provided some light relief" means to lighten up the mood in a joking manner. Sol 796. The correct answer is option (4) i.e. AC. Explanation: Whenever two pronouns are separated by, try removing the and. Then check if they fit. A: To she, secularism means... WRONG. Use her. C: But me believes.... WRONG. Use I believe. Correct sentence: "To you and her, secularism means making sure the minority has rights. But I believe that rights should come regardless of religion, minority or majority. That's what
secularism means. To be indifferent to religion. " Sol 797. The correct answer is option (1) i.e. AB.
Explanation:
Honest starts with a vowel sound (try pronouncing it) and therefore, uses article an. University starts with (y) sound (try it yourself) and therefore, uses article a. Correct sentence: "You know how an honest education system should judge a university? By the number and quality of research
projects, its faculty and students are undertaking."
Sol 798. The answer is Option 3) AD. Their = used to indicate belonging, has been wrongly used instead of there = indicating place. (A) You aren't bound on something. You're bound to something. (D) Correct sentence: Are they there yet? I'm tired of people not respecting the other person's time. I would never deal with them if I weren't bound to the deal. Sol 799. The correct answer is option 4-BD Ten is plural numbers. So instead of ''guest'' we must write ''guests.'' So B is incorrect. In part D, 'all' here is used for countable nouns(ten guests) so we must use the plural verb 'are.', in place of 'is'. So D is incorrect too. So option 4 is correct.
Error Spotting
Sol 800. The error lies in part I with the misjudged tense by using "creeping" which does not fit in grammatically as it denotes present participle and it does not imply the right meaning with the given sentence. Therefore, error lies in part 1 of the sentence, therefore, option 2 is the correct answer. Corrected sentence: Worry creeps up on us in various ways that make us take on drastic steps to either conceal it or act against it, and the results are never predictable. Sol 801. The error lies in part III with the use of past tense in "strengthened" when the sentence clearly is in the present tense. The correction thus, given is "strengthens". Therefore, the error lies in part 3 of the sentence, hence, option 5 is the correct answer. Corrected sentence: Festivals may seem extravagant and over-hyped however, to each culture their festival brings together their own people and strengthens bonds among them all. Sol 802. Out of the given sentences, the only correct sentence is 4. The sentence uses the conjunction 'lest', which means to avoid the risk of something unpleasant. e.g. She did not speak out loud, lest she disturb anyone. So, by using 'lest', the sentence means 'you must take care-so that you avoid the risk wherein-you fall.' This means that the sentences that use a negative verb oughtn't, mustn't etc. are incorrect, as they change the meaning of the sentence. So, options 1 and 2 are incorrect. Option 3 uses the preposition 'in', which is also incorrect, given the context. Option 5 uses the conjunction 'unless', which means 'except if', which also changes the meaning of the sentence and hence is incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 803. Correct option - 3 "Adivasis, Dalit and women" are more than one noun and, "victim" is used for collective categories. Hence, replace "victim" with "victims". Thus, option 3 is the correct answer. Correct sentence - Despite the reservation of seats for Adivasis, Dalit and women, these categories remain on the periphery often as victims of atrocities and caste oppression. Sol 804. Correct option - 3 Since "has provided" shows that it is a present tense, so, present tense is not used with past tense. Hence, gerund verb living which acts as a noun should be used in the sentence to make it correct. Replace "lived" with living. So, option 3 is the correct answer. Correct sentence - Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana scheme has provided 37 million women living below the poverty level with LPG connections. Sol 805. The error lies in the fourth part of the sentence. Thus, option 4 is the correct answer. In the given sentence, the usage of preposition is improper. Preposition 'on' is used to indicate a surface or to specify dates. Example- I was born on the 11th of June. The notebooks are on the table. Here, 'in' should be used instead of 'on'. Correct Sentence- While we were in the car, a lot of people were jogging in the park. Sol 806. The correct answer is option (5)
Here, the concept of "since" with two actions is brought under consideration.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS present perfect continuous(2nd action) + since + simple past tense(1st action). It means phrase after since will carry simple past tense. The point in time after since can also be expressed with a clause containing a verb in the past simple: He has been living here since he started school . They have been dating since they first met last May . So, option 5 is the correct answer. Correct Sentence: "They have been playing in the garden since it
began to rain"
Sol 807. Correct option - 1 Firstly, word "equipment" is a collective noun meaning anything kept, furnished or provided for a specific purpose. It means it does not carry s with it. So, options 2, 4 & 5 are eliminated. Now, modal used as helping verb takes V1 with it. So, option 3 is eliminated. Hence, option 1 is the correct answer. Sol 808. The errors are in A and B. Should of is often wrongly used instead of should have. Back of has been wrongly used instead of back off, which means 'draw back from action or confrontation.' Option 2) AB is the correct answer. Correct sentence: You should have told him to back off immediately. No one should be allowed to dictate how you lead your life. Sol 809. The error lies in part 3. The sentence uses the adjective form 'inevitable', which is incorrect here. As the sentence is referring to the storm following the man, the correct form here should be the adverb 'inevitably'. Inevitable means something that is sure to happen. For e.g. All men find that death is an inevitable enemy. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. The corrected sentence is: The raging storm followed the man,
inevitably swallowing up everything in its path.
Sol 810. The Error is in Part A of the sentence. The pair of ''whether and or'' can be used together. We can't use ''if and or'' together. So option 1 is correct. Correct Sentence: Whether or not we go to Spain for our holiday depends on the cost. Sol 811. The Error is in Part A of the sentence. We can see that the second part of the sentence is in the form ''would have+V3." This demands that the dependent clause or the first part of the sentence, must be in past perfect tense. Use ''had you" or "if you had", instead of "if you would have.'' So option 1 is correct. Sol 812. The correct answer is option 4, i. e., D. The error lies in part D. In part D, 'to having' is a grammatically incorrect phrase. Either it should be 'to have' or 'for having'. 'To' is never followed by a continuous verb form. Correct sentence:
Having done his presentation, Jim went to the cafeteria for having coffee. Sol 813. The correct answer is option 1, i. e., A. The error lies in part A. In part A, according to the meaning of the sentence, 'in spite' should be used in place of 'instead'. This is because 'in spite' means 'even though' and 'instead' refers to an alternative. Thus, the correct sentence is:
In spite of having a fever, Jimmy went to his school to submit his project.
Error Spotting
Sol 814. The correct answer is option 1, i.e. ABC. The errorless combination in the above sentence is pair ABC. The error is in part D where ’told’ is incorrect. ‘Told’ is used along with the object and the object is missing in the above sentence and only subject is present. Example (‘He told me’, here ‘he’ is the subject and ‘me’ is the object’) Moreover, the above statement is more of a statement of an interview, thus, ‘said’ is more appropriate. Hence, the sentence can be correctly rewritten as, Over 3 lakh deaths due to diarrhoeal disease and protein-energy malnutrition can be prevented if India works towards achieving 100% coverage under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, WHO said. Sol 815. The correct answer is option (1). Explanation: The usage of the pronoun 'me' is incorrect in this sentence. It should be replaced with 'I'. Error is in part I. Correct sentence :You, he, and I are going to solve this problem
together and maintain an alternate semblance of unity. Sol 816. The correct answer is option 3, i.e., 'Both (ii) and (iii)'. Out of the given three options, the two sentences can be joined in two ways: 'While he has failed many times and almost all his plans have seen little success, he still hopes to succeed one day' and 'In spite of the fact that he has failed many times and almost all his plans have seen little success, he still hopes to succeed one day'. However, option 1 does make a meaningful sentence but changes
the meaning of the context.
Thus, only options (ii) and (iii) are correct.
Sol 817. The correct answer is option 1, i.e., 'Only (i)'.
Out of the given three options, the two sentences can be joined in only one way: 'Unless the Central Government cuts down on the defence budget, the financial crisis will not be resolved'. Thus, only option (i) is correct.
We use the conjunction unless to mean ‘except if’. The clause which follows unless is a subordinate clause (sc): it needs the main clause (mc) to make a complete sentence.
Unless is a conditional word (like if), so we don’t use will or would in the subordinate clause:
Unless I hear from you, I’ll see you at two o’clock. Not: Unless I’ll hear from you … We use unless to introduce an extra thought or piece of information: He didn’t even know about the crash – unless he’d heard about it on the radio.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Sol 818. The correct answer is 'Only (i)'.
Out of the given three options, the given sentences can be joined correctly as: 'When Indira Gandhi was assassinated in 1984, Rajiv Gandhi became the Prime Minister'. Thus, only option (i) is correct.
Sol 819. The error is in parts A and C of the sentence. In part A whatever is the wrong word. Whatever means 'regardless of what.' It doesn't
make any sense here. The correct word should be 'whether.' It is used to mean 'expressing a doubt or choice between alternatives.' As we can see we have two alternatives. In part C, there is no phrase called 'against one's head. It should be 'over one's head.' It means 'beyond someone's ability to understand.' So option 1 is the correct answer.
Correct Sentence: It was hard to tell whether the sarcasm had gone over his head or he simply wasn't amused.
Sol 820. The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 'The correct combination of words is A-C' Explanation: The combination of a pair A-C i.e. Reform and Transition is correct because 'Reform' is a verb and transition is a Noun. The definite article should be used for a noun and 'to' is not a preposition here it is forming infinitive in this particular sentence. Hence this is the correct combination. So the correct sentence is: Three years after the transition to the goods and services tax (GST), there is a strong case to strengthen the GST Council for the constitutional body to make informed decisions to reform the tax structure, rates and broaden the tax base.
Sol 821. The construction 'to speak roughly is that' is a very complicated and faulty construction. The correct construction would have been 'Roughly speaking the distance...' Hence, the correct answer is 1. Sol 822. The only grammatically correct sentence from the given options is 5. The article used before the adjective is 'the', and the sentence does not provide any direct comparison; so the comparative degree 'deeper' is incorrect. The correct degree of comparison must be superlative, viz, 'deepest'. Although and even though both mean 'in spite of' something and can be used synonymously as conjunctions. The past perfect form 'had been' is incorrect here, as the first sentence uses the present tense verb 'have'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 5. Sol 823. The only grammatically correct sentence from the given options is 2. 'Whom' is the the accusative of 'who', used in passive voice to refer to the object of the verb. It is incorrect here. An occasion is an event or time, so the correct preposition to be used here becomes 'on' an occasion and not 'in' an occasion. The pronoun 'it' is referring to the action of Abida slipping out of the house; and not to the occasions themselves. So, the correct verb here becomes 'was' and not 'were'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 2. Sol 824. The only grammatically correct sentence from the given options is 3. The sentence refers to a specific place, viz, 'the parents' grave', so it must be in a particular place, so the conjunction 'wherever' cannot be used here. 'Wherever' refers to at any place, anywhere. Whenever would be appropriate here, as it means 'at any time or occasion'.
Error Spotting
'Would' represents a will, desire or opinion while 'could' represents ability. So, here, the correct first verb becomes could, showing the ability to visit, followed by 'would', which shows the desire or inclination to visit. So, it would be 'whenever he could (or was able to) visit, he would (showing a desire) visit. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.
Sol 825. The correct option is (1), “After making irreverent remarks about the President while he was having a press meet, the reporter was not invited to return to the White House pressroom.” All the other options are either structurally or syntactically wrong. Sol 826. The sentence that expresses the meaning most appropriately is sentence (3), “Do not be afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness through hard work and some have greatness thrust upon them.” None of the options express the meaning clearly apart from sentence C, and thus C is the right answer. Sol 827. The correct answer is option 3.
Explanation: The sentence uses the past tense verb 'was'. The usage of the form 'to be+ V3' shows that the form of such a verb should be in the third form. The past participle form of the verb 'to hold' is 'held'. The error lies in part 3. Therefore, the correct answer is option 3. Thus, the correct sentence is: The kite festival was supposed to be held at the village ground.
Sol 828. The only grammatically correct sentence from the given options is 4. The sentence uses the specific time 'now', which refers to the present moment. Whenever there is some activity that has been going on in the past and has just been referred to, the correct tense to be used is the present perfect, as the activity is not absolutely finished yet. So, 'have been' is the correct form. 'Had had' is used when the first 'had' is the past tense of auxiliary verb 'have', and the second 'had' is the past tense of the verb 'to have'. E.g. I had had enough ice cream for a day. The correct preposition here must be 'for' twenty years, as it refers to something that has been going on 'for' a duration; and not 'in' or 'about'. Therefore, the correct answer is option 4. Sol 829. The correct answer is option 3 The sentence uses the phrase 'the number of', which suggests that the corresponding auxiliary verb must also be singular. Because we are referring to the 'number' of elephants and not the 'elephants' themselves, we cannot use the plural form 'have'. So, the error lies in part 3. Thus, the word 'have' should be replaced with 'has'. Sol 830.
When a sentence is of the form: Subject + beverb + main verb + pronoun + transitive verb + direct object The verbs will be affected by the subject and then the pronoun and in turn the verbs will influence each other. Since, the be-verb used is of past tense, the transitive verb used should also be of a past form. Thus, option 1 is eliminated since the transitive verb used is of present perfect continuous tense form. Option 5 is eliminated because the modal verb “could” is never used alongside an –ing form of verb. Option 3 is eliminated because the transitive verb is of present form while the beverb is of past form.
https://amzn.to/350yFZS Option 4 is eliminated because the word “unsures” is grammatically incorrect. Therefore, option 2 is the correct answer. Sol 831.
When an interrogative question is made along with the use of a question tag there is a rule which should be followed. A positive sentence should always be followed by a negative question tag and so sentence 2 and 3 are eliminated. The verb in the sentence will then affect the verb or tense of the question tag. Since, the sentence is present tense, we eliminate sentence 4 and 5 because they are both in the past tense. Hence, the correct sentence is sentence 1 and correct option is option 1. Sol 832.
The sentence is an interrogative sentence and is of the form: Have + subject + past participle form of the verb The sentence is in present perfect tense and the verbs used in the sentence should be past participle form and the to-be verbs should be present in their form too. Therefore, the sentences 3,4 and 5 are eliminated due to use of incorrect to-be verbs or auxiliary verbs.
The sentence 2 is eliminated because the sentence begins with incorrect root verb which is had. Since the subject is you, the root verb to be used is have. Hence, the correct sentence is sentence 1 and the correct option is option 1.
Error Spotting
Sol 833.
The sentence is of the form: Subject + verb + object Since, the sentence is in past perfect tense, the verbs should also be of past form. The verbs to be used are "pay" and "visit" and therefore, the sentences 1, 2 and 4 are eliminated. The sentence 3 is eliminated because the adjective “sicky” used here is incorrect. Hence, the correct option is option 5. Sol 834.
The sentence is of the form: Subject + verb + pronoun + verb2 + object The sentence is in simple past tense and the verbs should be the base form of the verb i.e contact. Therefore, the sentences 2,3 and 5 are eliminated since they use incorrect forms of verbs. The sentence 4 is eliminated because the father’s quality is referred to using a verb i.e estrange which refers to the process of becoming detached from one another and not an adjective i.e estranged which means no longer living together. Hence, the correct sentence is sentence 1 and the correct option is option 1.
