Question : 7

He did not ask for a raise since he had fear to lose his job.

a) was afraid to

b) was fearful of

c) was feared to

d) had been afraid to

e) No correction required

Discuss »

Answer: (a)

To express the emotion of fear we have the word ‘afraid’. This word has been used in options (a) and (d) only.

Hence either of these two can be a correct option. As the given sentence is in simple past tense, only (a) is the correct option.

Option (d) can be ruled out, because, the use of ‘had been’ suggests the sentence to be in past perfect continuous tense.

Question : 8

Chennai is by the way a cosmopolitan city.

a) by the by

b) by and large

c) on the large

d) No improvement

Discuss »

Answer: (b)

Question : 9

She starts walks without responding.

a) start walking

b) started walking

c) starting walking

d) No improvement

Discuss »

Answer: (b)

Here walking is not a verb but a gerund. And the verb start should be used in simple past tense. Therefore, “starts walks” is replaced by “started walking”

Question : 10

What tribute shall we pay to Gandhiji that he would appreciate?

a) should appreciate

b) would have appreciated

c) could have appreciated

d) No improvement

Discuss »

Answer: (a)

Gandhiji is now no more. Therefore, the sentence should carry the meaning of a Past Tense. The use of ‘would appreciate’ means Gandhiji will appreciate in future, that is not the case.

Therefore, it should be ‘would have appreciated’ in place of ‘would appreciate’.
