Expert’s Curated English Language Preparation
Tips for Banking Questions
If you aim to get recruited in any Public Bank then you must be knowing that cracking the
recruitment exam is the only way to get there. Among lakhs of students who appear every
year for the banking exams, only a handful qualify. An aspirant should focus on the complete
syllabus of all the sections to ace this examination. 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.
Smart Tips for English Language Section of Banking Exams
The aspirants can find various smart preparation strategies given further which can help
them to ace the English Language section of various upcoming Banking exams.

solve the questions in the stipulated time. Therefore, maintaining speed without
compromising on accuracy becomes crucial. Testbook offers various mock tests which
will help the candidates hit the right combination of speed & accuracy.
Segregate your strong and weak zones. Candidates can find umpteen books that could
suggest easy and difficult topics. However, it varies as per an individual’s intellect. Hence,
candidates must practice enough to find their strong and weak areas.
The candidates can check various courses offered by Testbook for the preparation of
various banking examinations. Our experts in different subjects will help you understand

LEVEL 1
1 - 308 Questions
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.
Error Spotting
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.
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.

Instead of that, it should be 'that'.

The correct option is option 2- Only B
'Are' in part B should be replaced with 'am'
Error Spotting
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

The given sentence is a conditional sentence but it doesn't come
under I, II and III conditional sentence. 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.
The correct sentence- The economy of a country can never
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).

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

Sol 55.
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’.

passive voice. So, option 1 is eliminated. Also, the relative
pronoun depends upon the nearest noun/pronoun it has. Since,

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:
Error Spotting
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
Error Spotting
Correct sentence is:
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.
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 ‘circumstantial: pointing
indirectly towards someone's guilt but not conclusively proving it’
used instead of the plural noun ‘circumstances’.
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.'

The error is in sentence D as the preposition 'under' is incorrect
here. The correct preposition here is 'in' as something stays 'in'
the grip of something. 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'. Therefore,
the singular form of the word should be used here.
Hence, the singular form 'poll' should replace 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.
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.
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.
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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
Sol 166.
The error lies in part 1 only.
Part 1 uses 'to' which is incorrect here as the correct phrase is 'in

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 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
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.

needs to be replaced with ‘have’ to agree with the plural
subject.
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

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

A is grammatically correct and meaningful as mobility means
'the ability to move'. B justifies the bold word. C is not meaningful
as it does not make proper sense. D is correct as it is used to
denote a special case. So, C and E need to be interchanged.
The correct sentence is (A) Mobility, which should be taken for (B) granted, is actually a
huge (C) impediment for many women, (D) especially if their
workplace is some (E) distance from home.

Fracture means (with reference to a group or
organization) split or fragment and
become unable to function or exist.
Sciences means areas of study; fields.
It is clear that A and B are correct. Also, E justifies the
bold word.
D requires a noun and C requires a verb. 'Backbone' is a
noun while 'fractures' is a verb. We need to interchange C
and D to make the sentence correct.
Corrected sentence - They have (A) peddled pseudoscience and
(B) untenable claims that (C) fracture the (D) backbone of the life
(E) sciences.
Sol 226.

word.
Damage means harm. Population flooding is not meaningful. So
A and B should be interchanged.
Decades means periods of ten years.
Casualties means losses or victims; a person or thing badly
affected by an event or situation
Both the words, 'Decades' and 'casualties' are not making the
sentence meaningful. So, C and D should be interchanged.
Hence, option 5 is the best fit.
The correct answer:
The (A) damage flooding does to humans has been welldocumented, but wildlife (B) populations are unseen (C)
casualties, with some ecosystems taking (D) decades to (E)

A is grammatically correct.
Flooded means to overflow.
Silt means mud or deposit.
Fertilizing means to enrich with fertilizer.
Wonderful means great; inspiring delight, pleasure, or
admiration; extremely good; marvellous
It is clear that the adjective 'wonderful' is not correctly used at
the end of the sentence and it should be replaced with the word
flooded. The valley floor can be fertilized with silt. Hence, B and E
should be interchanged and C and D should be interchanged.
The correct sentence:
Error Spotting
The (A) secret to their (B) wonderful bounty was the River Lugg
flowing through the middle,(C) fertilizing the valley floor with lime

A is correct as strides mean long, decisive steps. Also, B is
meaningful as it indicates that society is seen clearly as being
dominated by men. C also justifies the bold word. Clearly E
requires a verb and D requires a noun. So, D and E are needed to
be interchanged.
The correct sentence isDespite all the (A) strides made in women’s rights, business is still
seen as a male (B) preserve and this (C) belief makes it more
difficult for women to get male (D) partners in business or (E)

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. A-D and C-E.
We can look into the sentence in the following way:
(A) ___________ global warming–induced intense fires (B)
__________ also triggered a vicious cycle, wherein the Australian
forests (C) _________ require decades to regenerate (D)
__________ cover and absorb back the carbon dioxide released,
(E) ___________, meanwhile, will keep affecting the increase in
temperatures.
‘Their’ is a possessive pronoun and is used to signify belonging to
or associated with the people or things previously mentioned or
easily identified. 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.
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. C-D

(A) _________ than 10 million hectares of forestland have (B)
_________ down across the country, leading to mass (C)
_________ and thousands of people (D) __________ at seashores,
considering it (E) ____________.
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.

there has been an increase in the frequency and intensity of (B)
______________ waves and droughts and vast parts of the
country were (C) ___________ under a (D) ___________ for three
years with (E) __________ average rainfall levels.
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.

______________ several months earlier than the (C) __________
“annual season” of wildfire, and with an (D) ______________
enormity spread, and severity even as the country (E)
______________ from its hottest and driest year so far.
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.
Sol 238.

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.

government must (B) ______________ that the “illusion” of this
acceptable limit of inflation (C) ___________ rests upon the
savings of the (D) __________ consumers, which the government
is (E) ___________ misemploying for its own gains.
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

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

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.

deep understanding of someone or something.
Considerations means facts or motives taken

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,

governance should be (C) devolved to national governments,

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.

contract, or agreement), making it officially valid" is incorrectly
spelt here.
Example sentence: Over 60 countries have yet to ratify the
climate convention.
The meanings of the other words are:
Socialist: adhering to or based on the principles of
socialism
Source: a place, person, or thing from which something
originates or can be obtained.
Government: the group of people with the authority to
govern a country or state; a particular ministry in office
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.
Error Spotting
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
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.

bare infinitives in a better way
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOf0VwtGrnQ
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.
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.
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.
Error Spotting
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 286.
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. A-D and C-B
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).
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.
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.

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.

It is a botanical (A)________ where humans are (B)________ to
learn how to be a better species by (C)_________ the (D)________

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 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.
Error Spotting
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.

cheque, draft,and order or withdrawals slips.
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.
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.

Correct sentence - According to the National Crime Records
Bureau, only about a quarter of rape cases ends in conviction.

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:-
Stories are all about going beyond reality and it is no wonder that
they let you understand big concepts with only a little bit of reading
practice.
Hence the correct answer is option 1.
Sol 316.
The correct answer is 'Only I'.
The error is in Part I of the sentence.
We must use the 'Past Participle' form of a verb with
'has/have/had.' 'Lend' is in Present tense. Its past
Going is the correct gerund form of the base verb 'go'.
1. When 'like' or 'hate' is followed by a gerund, it refers to the
action of liking or disliking in general.
For eg. I like going to school
2. 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 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

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

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

None of the other options are applicable, because they are
either not connected in proper causal order, or are
grammatically or syntactically wrong.

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 correct answer is option (5).
Error Spotting
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.’

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).’

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.

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:

Error Spotting
Since the stab wound was proximal to the heart, the doctors
feared that it might have penetrated the outer layer of the man’s
heart.
'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 thorniest 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.

numerical problems given in the exercises of the textbook.
Hence the correct answer is option 2.

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:

not only gave financial stability to the company but also took
the company to the next level of success and reputation.

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'.

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

In part C, 'conducted' is a past participle form of a verb
which is incorrect use a gerund to make it a prepositional
object.

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.
Error Spotting
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.
Error Spotting
The correct sentence will be: He spoke in such a low voice that
few could hear him.
Sol 471.
The correct answer is option 5.
There is no error in the sentence.
Sol 472.
There are no errors in the above sentence.
Hence the correct answer is option 5.
Cross border trade is the selling or buying of goods and
commodities from neighbouring countries. 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

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.
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

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'

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.

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

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.

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'.

Hence the correct answer is option 3.
The correct form of the verb here must be 'its being'- which refers

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

The phrases aim to show the deplorable state of the UN quarters

Option 2 i.e., Only B
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

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'.

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 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.

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.

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

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

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'.

‘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

‘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.

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 correct answer is option 1 i.e. Invadious.
Explanation
Invidious which means "unfairly discriminating; unjust" has been
spelt incorrectly as Invadious here.
Remaining words:­
Distinctions: differences or contrasts between similar
things or people.
Specialized: requiring or involving detailed and specific
knowledge or training

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

has been spelled incorrectly as Apropriation here.
Remaining words:­
Distorted: giving a misleading or false account or

Based: use (something specified) as the foundation or starting point
for something
Extraordinary: very unusual or remarkable
Ordinary: with no special or distinctive features; normal
Sol 571.

Sol 573.
The correct answer is option 5.
Effort means a vigorous or determined attempt.
We can look into the sentence in the following wayWhile the (A) ________ of the inmates and the (B) ________ of
the concentration camps may have been the end of the
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.
We can look into the sentence in the following wayNobody (A) _____ the (B) _____ of higher and (C) _____ voter
turn-out for democracy, but instead of taking the compulsory (D)
_____ for wider participation of people in the election process –
technology can be (E) _____to achieve this end.
Disputes means argue about (something). C and E justify the
bold word. Clearly, B-D should be interchanged to make the
sentence meaningful. So, B-D is correct.
The correct sentence isNobody (A) disputes the (B) benefits of higher and (C) informed
voter turn-out for democracy, but instead of taking the
compulsory (D) route for wider participation of people in the
election process – technology can be (E) harnessed to achieve
this end.
Sol 575.
The correct answer is option 4.
Conscious means aware of and responding to one's
surroundings.
We can look into the sentence in the following wayAt a time when the India story is being (A) _____ crafted, Indian
(B) ____ can become (C) _____ and (D) _____ contributors to the
creation of larger national (E) _____ .
Rigorously means in an extremely thorough and careful way. C
and E justify the bold word. B requires a noun and D requires an
adjective. So, B-D is correct.
The correct sentence isAt a time when the India story is being (A) rigorously crafted,
Indian (B) brands can become (C) key and (D)conscious
contributors to the creation of larger national (E) value.
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'.
Sol 577.
Correct option: 4) ballance - this word is incorrectly spelt.
Balance is the correct word, which means physical equilibrium.
Rest of the words are correct.
Sol 578.
We can look into the sentence in the following way:
Not only is the (A) ____________ of any inflation-targeting policy
decision based on such (B) _______________ figures
questionable, but it also brings to the (C) ________ the political
Error Spotting
(D) _________ of the current government for inflation (E)
____________.
It is evident that (A), (B) and (D) are grammatically and
contextually correct.
But in (C) we need a word that would signify position which is not
fulfilled by the word ‘management’ which means the process of
dealing with or controlling things or people. It is best replaced by
‘fore’ which means situated or placed in front. So, C and E needs
to interchange.
This makes option 1 – C-E the correct answer.
Correct Sentence - Not only is the (A) efficacy of any inflationtargeting policy decision based on such (B) distorted figures
questionable, but it also brings to the(E) fore the political (D)
intentions of the current government for inflation (C)
management.
Sol 579.

particular purpose, such as a business or government
department.
Collaborate: work jointly on an activity or project
Frameworks: basic structures underlying a system,
concept, or text

condition to another
Sovereign: possessing supreme or ultimate power
Hence the correct answer is option 5.
Sol 581.
The correct answer is option 4- Millenium
Explanation
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.'

Correct option – 2
Let’s look at the meaning of the given words.
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.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
Sol 584.
Correct option – 5
Let’s look at the meaning of the given words.
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
Error Spotting
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.

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

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

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"

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

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 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.

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.

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,

‘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’. It is hence

and ‘rise’ are contradictory here. ‘and’ is used to connect similar
things. 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 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:

providers are corporation members who command respect due

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.

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)
Hence, replace had reached with reached. Thus, option 2 is the
correct answer.
Correct sentence:

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

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

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'.
Error Spotting
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:

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

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.
The correct answer is Option 4.

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.
Error Spotting
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

Thus, i, ii and iii, all are incapable of joining the two sentences.
Thus, they cannot be used.

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

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’

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

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 circumstances.'
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.

The correct answer is option 5 i.e. No error.
All the words printed in bold are correctly spelled and appropriate in
the context of the sentence.
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

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

the country may not be (E) _____________ for the same reason.
Let us look into the meanings of the highlighted words –
Electorate- all the people in a country or area who are entitled
to vote in an election.
Recommendations- a suggestion or proposal as to the best
course of action, especially one put forward by an authoritative
body.
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.

sentence C.
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.

Succoured (v) - help
Alumnus (n) - student
Abdicated (v) – give up a position

Therefore, the correct answer is option 1.
Sol 778.
The correct answer is option 1.

The meaning of the word drizzle is light rain which falls in the
form of very fine drops. The word is used in this sense in sentence
A.
It can also mean to pour liquid in the form of the thin line (or
drops) over something (especially food). The word is used in this
context in sentence B.
However, the word sounds absurd in sentence C. Instead, the
word dazzled should have been used. It means to get blinded by
bright light temporarily.
You can go into that tunnel on a bright day, and be completely
dazzled and unable to see after you have gone about 100 yards.
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.
However, the word sounds absurd in sentence A. Instead, the
word fascinating should be used which means interesting or
extremely charming.

explanation for Galaxies' strange symmetry.
Sol 780.
The correct answer is option 3, i.e. Psychatric.

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.

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.
The word voracious means having a great appetite or craving for
something like food, power, etc. In this context, the word has
been used appropriately in sentences A and B.
The word can also mean eager to engage in some activity with a

The words 'as though' mean 'as would be the case if.' This does
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.

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

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.

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'
'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 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
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.
