Question : 21

We are unwilling to make any concession to their demands.

a) not willing in giving

b) not willing to take

c) willingly given

d) unwilling to take

e) No correction required

Answer: (a)

Concession’ is ‘given’ not ‘taken’. Therefore, options (a) and (d) having ‘take’ cannot be correct. Now, let us consider option (b). Here ‘willingly ’ has been used in place of ‘unwilling’.

We cannot be allowed to change a positive word into negative one. Hence this option is ruled out. Now, we are left with option (c). This option is flawless, hence it should be the correct option.

b) bought

c) buy

Answer: (b)

Replace the bold part with option (b), ie ‘buy’.

Question : 24

Presently he is studying law.

a) in present

b) at present

Thus, it is clear that the given sentence is correct, however it can be improved by option (a) also.
