spotting errors Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ibps clerk prelims 2023

Directions:

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. Mark the number of that part with error as your answer. If there is no error, mark (d). (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.)

Question :6

I suppose (a)/ you have heard the latest news that (b)/ John has married that girl. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (d)

No error.

Question :7

The customer handed over (a)/ a hundredrupees note (b)/ to the shopkeeper. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (b)

The sentence refers to 'a' note of hundred rupees in value. So it should be 'a hundred- rupee note'.

Question :8

If a man diligently seeks to come into the contact (a)/ with the best that has been thought and said in this world, (b)/ he will become simple and selfless. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (a)

Article 'the' is wrongly placed before 'contact'. No specific 'contact' is being referred to here. A general fact or situation is being stated. Correct usage is 'come into contact with'; no 'a' or 'the' before 'contact' when it is used after 'into'.

Question :9

The audience (a)/ are requested (b) to be in its seats. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (b)

'Audience' is generally referred to as a single entity—a 'group' of people watching, applauding etc. So a singular verb ('is') needs to be used.

Question :10

To perform this experiment, (a)/ drop little sugar (b)/ into a glass of water. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (b)

It should be 'a little' which means 'at least some'. It has a positive meaning. 'Little' means 'hardly any'. It conveys a negative meaning and makes no sense in this context.
