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 : 1

We do not agree on certain things.

a) agree to

b) agree about

c) agree of

d) No improvement

Answer: (d)

No improvement because when two people agree with each other on certain terms the “agree on” is used appropriately.

Question : 2

No sooner the advertisement regarding the launch of new smart phone appeared than there was a rush on the online website for prebooking the same.

a) No sooner the advertisement regarding the launched of new smart phone appeared

b) No sooner did the advertisement regarding the launch of new smart phone appeared

c) The advertisement regarding the launch of new smart phone was no sooner having appeared

d) No improvement

Answer: (b)

When the sentence begins with a negative adverbial phrase, the order of the subject and the verb is interchanged and the verb is used in auxiliary form

Question : 3

I'm having to too much fun.

a) having

b) had

c) has

d) No improvement

Answer: (a)

“Having to” implies that one has to do something. In the given sentence, “to” is superfluous. Hence, having to should be replaced by having.

Question : 4

The T.V. news is doctored by non professionals and whetted by political higher-ups.

a) wetted

b) vetted

c) written

d) No improvement

Answer: (b)

Question : 5

He was absolute ruining by that unlucky business.

a) had been absolutely ruining

b) was absolutely ruined

c) had absolute in ruining

d) was absolute in ruining

e) No correction required

Answer: (b)

Options (b) and (c) have ‘had’ in place of ‘was’. In option (d) we find that an extra word ‘in’ has been inserted, due to this, the option gets widely deviated from the phrase in bold.

Now, we are left with options (a) and (e). Option (a) is correct, hence we must go with it.
