Directions:

In the following questions, a sentence/ part of the sentence is printed in bold. Below are given alternatives which may improve the bold part. Choose the correct alternative.

NOTE: In case no improvement is needed, your answer is No Improvement.

Question : 31

 If you want to complete this important assignment on time you must carefully planned.

a) carefully planning

b) careful to plan

c) plan carefully

d) planned carefully

e) No correction required

Answer: (c)

When manner, place and time are given in a sentence, ‘manner’ comes first thereafter ‘place’ followed by ‘time’. But, when only one of them is given, it must come in the end of the sentence.

Since ‘carefully’ is a manner, it should come in the end of the sentence. Therefore only options (b) and (d) are to be considered for their validity. Now, as the given sentence is in the present tense ‘planned’ should be replaced with ‘plan’. Thus, it is clear that only (b) is the correct option.

Question : 32

The population of Tokyo is greater than any town in India.

a) of any town

b) any other town

c) that of any town

d) No improvement

Answer: (b)

Usually comparison is done between two similar things. Here comparison of population of Tokyo is being done with the population of any town of India. It is better to write ‘that of’ for population, rather than writing ‘population of’ twice.

Therefore replace bold part with ‘that of any town’.

Question : 33

a) has run

b) was running

c) had inn

d) No improvement

Answer: (b)

Question : 34

a) will have participated

b) would participate

c) went not well within
