Directions:

Which of the phrases (a), (b), (c), (d) given below each sentence should replace the phrase printed in bold to make the sentence grammatically correct? If the sentence is correct as it is, mark (e) ie ‘No correction required’ as the answer.

Question : 11

While campaigning against child-labour the leader said that he was feeling strongly about children being made to work when they should be going to school.

a) felt strongly

b) was feeling strong

c) has been feeling strongly

d) No improvement

Answer: (c)

The given sentence is written in Past Indefinite Tense. Therefore the bold part also should be written in Simple Past Tense.

Therefore, ‘was feeling strongly’ should be replaced with ‘felt strongly’.

Question : 12

It was a disappointed end to a historic match.

a) disappointment to

b) disappointment end to

c) disappointing end

d) disappointing end to

e) No correction required

Answer: (d)

The given sentence requires a 'verb' not an ‘adjective’. Hence ‘appointing ’ is the appropriate word.

This word appears in options (b) and (d) but (b) does not have the infinitive ‘to’. Hence (b) cannot be a correct option. Thus, (d) is the preferred choice.

Question : 13

a) from

b) about

c) with

d) No improvement

Answer: (b)

The correct phrase is ‘fed up with’. Therefore replace ‘by’ with ‘with’.

a) best and wisest

b) a best and a wisest

c) the best and the wisest
