Question : 21

a) is taking
b) takes
c) was taking
d) No improvement
Answer »Answer: (a)
The writer is mentioning a hypothetical situation where he wishes to be present to observe the happenings.
Therefore “volcanic eruptions took place” should be written as “volcanic eruptions takes place”, ie ‘took’ should be replaced with ‘takes’.
Question : 24
Don’t hold this dirty insect in your hand; throw it .
a) throw it away
b) throw it down
c) throw it out
d) No improvement
Answer »Answer: (c)
To give a complete sense to the sentence there must be something after ‘throw’. To consider the correct option let us consider all the options one by one. a) ‘Throw down’ means ‘throw on the ground’. b) ‘Throw out’ means ‘throw something outside something’. c) ‘Throw away’ means ‘throw something very quickly’. Here, in the light of the meaning of the sentence, the dirty insect is thrown away very quickly.
Therefore, it should be ‘throw it away’ in place of ‘throw it’.
