common errors mcq Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ibps clerk prelims 2024

Directions:

In the following questions, find out which part of a sentence has an error. The letter corresponding to that part is your answer. If there is no mistake, the answer is 'No error'.

Question :26

He was advised (a)/ to be more cautious (b)/ lest he is robbed again. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (c)

'Lest' should be followed by 'should'; here, 'lest he should be robbed again' is correct.

Question :27

There are much inconveniences (a)/ one has to put up with (b)/ when one is camping. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (a)

'Inconveniences' should be preceded by 'many', not 'much'. 'Much inconvenience' is, however, correct. 'Many' means 'a large number' and is used with plural countable nouns (when 'inconveniences' can be counted as so many individual problems); 'much' means 'a large amount' and is used with uncountable nouns like 'inconvenience' meaning 'hassle'.

Question :28

As poor as they are (a)/ they never refuse to donate, they have (b)/ for any noble cause. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (b)

It should be 'they never refuse to donate what they have' or 'they never refuse to donate' in (b) part of the sentence.

Question :29

Tell me the name of (a)/ a country where every citizen is law-abiding (b)/ and no trouble is there. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (c)

The last part of the sentence should read 'and there is no trouble'.

Question :30

The wheat (a)/ this year is (b)/ finer than last year. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (c)

As we are comparing the wheat produce in the two years, it should be 'last year's' (that is, last year's wheat) at the end. Otherwise we would be comparing dissimilar things—wheat and year.
