Question : 1

Besides criticism of some supervisors the Chairman still commands respect from the employees.

a) Except the criticism from

b) Despite criticism from

c) Without criticism of

d) Unless criticism of

e) No correction required

Answer: (b)

The given sentence suggests that the Chairman commands respect ‘inspite of’ criticism from some supervisors. We can replace ‘inspite of’ with ‘despite’ because both the phrases have similar meanings.

So in place of ‘Besides criticism of’ we can write ‘Despite criticism from’. Thus (a) is the correct choice. Other options are widely deviated from the phrase in bold, hence can't be our choice.

a) in pursuing

b) to pursue his

c) in the pursuit of his

d) to pursuit in his

e) No correction required

Answer: (c)

Pursue’ and ‘pursuit’ are two different words. ‘Pursue’ is a verb while ‘pursuit’ is a noun. ‘Pursuit’ cannot be replaced by ‘pursue’. For this reason, options (a) and (c) are ruled out.

Moreover when we do something to get something we say ‘in pursuit of’. Hence the correct option is (b).
