Questions : He tried hardly and that led to his success.

(a) He had tried hard

(b) Hardly had he tried

(c) Had he tried hardly

(d) He hard tried

e) No correction required

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (a)

The ‘hard’ means ‘tough or requiring a lot of efforts’ whereas ‘Hardly’ means ‘not enough’. The given sentence is written to express a sense that a lot of effort led to his success.

Therefore, the obvious word should be ‘hard’ not ‘hardly’. Options (a) and (b) are ruled out, because, in these two options, ‘hardly’ have been used. Option (c) has ‘he had tried hard’. This option is obsolutely correct. Therefore we should opt for this option.

Question : 1

You called on me when I was not at home, don’t you ?

a) did you?

b) didn’t you?

c) didn’t I ?

d) No improvement

Answer: (b)

Question : 2

Sun is the force before all natural phenomena.

a) at all natural

b) behind all natural

c) responsible all natural

d) pushing all natural

e) No correction required

Answer: (b)

'Before' means ‘in front of’, ‘behind’ means ‘hidden or doing something from within’. So, the correct choice is (a). All other options are widely deviated.

Question : 3

It has become a fashion to talk about exercise restraint on any thing and everything.

a) exercise without restrain

b) restraining exercises

c) exercising without restrain

d) exercising restraint

e) No correction required

Answer: (d)

After a preposition (Here it is ‘about’) the verb takes gerund (v+ing). Hence ‘exercise’ should be ‘exercising’.

Due to this options (a) and (c) are ruled out. Now let us consider option (b). Here in this option, an extra word ‘without’ has been inserted. Such type of insertion makes the sentence absurd.

Hence this option cannot be correct. Option (d) is least deviated from the phrase in bold. Hence (d) is the correct option.

Question : 4

Will you help me wash away after the meal?

a) wash up

b) wash off

c) wash out

d) No improvement

Answer: (c)

To decide the correct option first of all, we must understand the meaning of all the phrases given under different options as well as the phrase used in bold.

Wash away = to carry away something; or to destroy and carry away something by rain or floods.

Wash off = to remove something from the surface of something or from clothes by washing.

Wash out = (of a dirty mark) to be removed from clothes by washing.

Wash up = to wash dishes after a meal.

Now, it is clear that the bold part should be replaced with ‘wash up’, ie option (c).
