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

Directions:

Each question in this section has a sentence with three underlined parts labelled (a), (b) and (c). Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your answer in the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter i.e., (a) or (b) or (c). If you find no error, your answer should be indicated as (d).

Question :11

When my friends came to visit us (a) /at the railway station (b) /they left some of their luggages. (c) /No error.(d)

Answer: (c)

Some of their "luggages" is incorrectly used. "Luggages" word does not exist. The singular and plural of luggage is luggage itself.

Question :12

Lack of winter rains (a) /have delayed the sowing of (b) /wheat crop in this area. (c) /No error.(d)

Answer: (b)

This sentence has error in section b as "lack of winter rains" is in singular form. Therefore here the lack of winter rains should be used with the word 'has'. Other segments do not have any error in the sentence.

Question :13

If we exercise regularly (a) /we will be (b) /more healthier. (c) /No error.(d)

Answer: (c)

In this sentence, option c is incorrect. "more healthier" is wrong form of usage. Healthier is already a comparative degree of adjective and therefore, there is no need to use "more" before healthier.

Question :14

Experience has taught me (a) /not to ignore any man, high or low, (b) /not to ignore anything great or small. (c) /No error.(d)

Answer: (c)

Replace 'great' with 'big'.

Question :15

He boasts of having visited Europe many times (a) /but he can neither speak English (b) /nor he can speak French. (c) /No error.(d)

Answer: (c)

In this sentence we see that we have formed the sentence using neither. Neither is supplemented with nor in the second part. Now since we have already said that neither he can speak English, it is not necessary to use he can again as it is understood that he is not capable of speaking both English and French.
