Answer: (c)

Question : 27

I am waiting for you since 9 o’clock this morning.

a) have been waiting

b) was waiting

c) waited

d) No improvement

Answer: (c)

The given sentence should be written in Present Perfect Continuous Tense because of specific duration (since 9 ‘o clock this morning) mentioned in the given sentence.

Therefore, ‘am waiting’ should be replaced with ‘have been waiting’.

Question : 28

If I have the money, I should have bought this house.

a) should have

b) had

c) would have

d) No improvement

Answer: (a)

The latter part of the sentence suggests that the given sentence is in Past Tense.

Therefore, the ‘have’ used in former part also should be in Past Tense. Hence ‘have’ should be replaced with ‘had’.

a) all clients are

b) our clients Is

Question : 30

The research reported here is based at a survey.

a) Based on an

b) Based on a

c) Base at a

d) Based into a

e) No correction required

Answer: (b)

The correct phrase is ‘based on’. Options (b) and (d) are ruled out because of the use of ‘at ’ and ‘into ’ in options (b) and (d) respectively.

Due to the use of ‘an’, option (c), becomes incorrect. The article ‘an’ cannot be used before a word starting with consonant. Thus, we come to conclusion that option (a) is the only correct option.
