Question : 3

The approach has affectedly the methodology of research.

a) Has affected

b) Have affectedly

c) Had affect

d) Will affectedly

e) No correction required

Answer: (a)

There is no word ‘affectedly’ as such. The correct word is ‘affect’. Because of the use of ‘affectedly’, options (a) and (d) are ruled out. Option (b) has ‘had’ in place of ‘has’.

The use of ‘had’ changes the structure of the sentence from present tense to past tense. Such type of substitution of verbs which changes the meaning of the sentence cannot be allowed.

Hence option (b) cannot be a correct option. Now, we come to option (c). We see that there is no change in the first word ‘has’.

As we know, ‘has’ takes V3 , the V3 of affect ie, ‘affected’ is also written here. Hence option (c) is absolutely correct.

Question : 4

a) unhappiness

b) regret

c) anger

Answer: (d)

Turn off = to stop listening to some-thing

Turn out = to switch off

Turn down = to reduce the noise etc.

Turn in = to curve towards the centre.

Now, it is clear that it should be ‘down’ in place of ‘off’.
