Directions:
In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative which is the best substitute of the words/sentence.
Question : 41
The judge asked the accused why was he looking so depressed.
a) why he was looking so depressed
b) why was he looking so depress
c) why he looked depressing
d) that why he looked so depressed
e) No correction required
Answer »Answer: (a)
The given sentence is ‘assertive’ not an ‘interrogative’ one. In an assertive sentence, the auxiliary verb comes after the subject, whereas in an interrogative sentence the auxiliary verb comes just after the question word. For example: Why were you absent from the class? – Interrogative Sentence
Why he was absent, asked his friend. – Assertive Sentence
In the light of the above examples, the given sentence is an assertive sentence. Therefore, option (a) is the correct option to replace the phrase in bold. All other options can easily be excluded by applying the principle of least deviation.
Question : 42
The principal asked me that should not enter his office without permission.
a) not entering
b) don’t enter
c) not to enter
d) No improvement
Answer »Answer: (b)
The given sentence is a negative sentence as also it is giving a prohibitive command. As the given sentence is written in Indirect Speech, option (b) cannot be correct. Option (c) fits in place of the bold part correctly.
Therefore, we should go with it. Option (a) is apparently absurd.
Question : 44
After they had finished eating they went for a walk.
a) no improvement
b) have finished
c) finish
d) will finish
Answer »Answer: (a)
When there are two actions taking place in the past, the past perfect tense is used for the first action and past indefinite tense for the second action
Question : 45
All this has been done with a view to improve the living conditions of the poor.
a) for improving
b) to improving
c) of improving
d) No improvement
Answer »Answer: (a)
‘With a view to’ is a phrase. We must not confuse that after ‘to’ it should be V. Here ‘to’ has not been used as infinitive, rather it is a part of phrase ‘with a view to’.
Therefore, after ‘with a view to’, the verb will take its V4 form. Hence replace ‘to improve’ with ‘to improving’.
