Question : 16

We usual have a meeting of all department heads every Friday.

a) usually have

b) as usual has

c) as usually have

d) unusually have

e) No correction required

Answer: (a)

Owing to the use of ‘has’, option (a) becomes incorrect. We cannot use ‘has’ with the subject 'We'. The correct substitution for ‘usual’ is ‘usually’. Hence option (d) is ruled out. The use of ‘as ’ in option (b) is superfluous, hence reject it.

Now, we are left with option (c). Both the words used in this option are grammatically correct. Hence we should go with it.
