Directions:

Below each sentence, some phrases are given which can substitute the bold part of the sentence. Find out the phrase which can correctly substitute that part of the sentence. If the sentence is correct as it is, the answer is ‘No correction required’ or ‘No improvement’.

Question : 16

Will you type these letters now ?

a) Could

b) Can

c) Shall

d) No improvement

Answer: (a)

Question : 17

He is working hard to success for the examination.

a) To succeed in

b) For succeeding

c) For success off

d) For success into

e) No correction required

Answer: (a)

The first option does not have any preposition after the word ‘succeeding’. Due to omission of preposition after 'succeeding' the sentence becomes grammatically incorrect.

Hence option (a) cannot be our choice. Option (b) has ‘off’ after ‘success’. ‘Off’ is used to express separation or detachment.

For example, I. The cat jumped off the table. II. He is off duty now. (I) means the cat got separated from the table as soon as it jumped off.

Similarly, (II) means 'He is not doing duty presently' or he is away from his duty.

Thus, it is clear that (b) cannot be a correct option.

Option (c) has ‘in’ after ‘succeed’ which is correct hence, go with it.

a) might

b) shall

c) should

When indifferent is followed by “to”, it implies “without interest or concern”
