a) being focused on achieving

b) focus is to achieve

c) focus of achieving

d) focusing on achievement

e) No correction required

Answer: (b)

The phrase given in bold is ‘ focus on achieving’. In order to make the sentence meaningful and grammatically correct, an auxiliary verb is to be inserted in the given phrase. We find that only in option (a), an auxiliary verb ‘is’ has been inserted.

When the phrase printed in bold is replaced with the phrase given in option (a) the sentence becomes meaningful and grammatically correct. Hence this is the right choice.

Question : 4

It is the doctor who suggest new medicines.

a) which suggested new

b) who suggestions new

c) which suggests new

d) who suggests new

e) No correction required

Answer: (d)

Who’ is third person singular number, hence, the verb ‘suggest’ should be replaced with ‘suggests’.

Moreover, for living thing we use 'who' not ‘which’. Hence (d) is correct.

Question : 5

a) among the countries
