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 : 26

I walked away as calmly as I could, or else they thought I was the thief.

a) in case

b) otherwise

c) failing which

d) No improvement

Discuss »

Answer: (a)

We use ‘otherwise’ after stating a situation or fact, in order to say what the result or consequence would be, if this situation or fact was not the case.

We use ‘or else’ to introduce a statement that indicate the unpleasant results that will occur if someone does or does not do something.

Here ‘otherwise’ is the synonym of ‘or else’.

Hence we can improve the sentence by using ‘otherwise’ in place of ‘or else’.

Question : 27

The bridge in connection with the two cities will remain closed for security reasons.

a) Being connected from

b) Connects between

c) In connection to

d) Connecting

e) No correction required

Discuss »

Answer: (d)

The primary function of a bridge is ‘to connect’ two places, or in other words the bridge does the function of ‘connecting’ two places.

Option (d) has the word ‘connecting’ in it, so this option has the probability of being a correct option. Now in order to arrive at the conclusion let us consider other options also. In the given option (a) the preposition ‘between’ is incorrect. Option (b) has ‘in connection to’ which means ‘in reference to’ which is not relevant here.

Similarly, option (c) is clearly absurd. Thus, options (a), (b) and (c) are ruled out. Now, it is clear that option (d) is the only correct option.

Question : 28

a) slept

b) had slept

c) has been sleeping

d) No improvement

Discuss »

b) Learn to dance inspite of being clumsy

Discuss »

To put one’s foot down means to act firmly or adopt a firm policy when faced with opposition or disobedience
