error spotting and detection Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ibps po 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 :21

It is not possible for me (a)/ to exchange the goods (b)/ once the sale has been completed. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (a)

The future tense is to be used in the first part: 'It will not be possible...'

Question :22

To transport goods (a)/ by sea is cheaper (b)/ than land. (c). No error (d)

Answer: (c)

The latter part of the sentence should be 'than to transport them by land', as we are comparing the cost of transporting via sea and the cost of transporting by land (and not comparing 'transporting goods by sea' and 'land').

Question :23

This kind of behaviour (a)/ has not been seen here (b)/ since the last four years. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (c)

'In' or 'for' should be used in place of 'since'. 'Since' is generally used in this sense to indicate a specific time—'since yesterday'.

Question :24

My uncle frequently goes to abroad (a)/ on business (b)/ by air. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (a)

'Goes' (verb) will not carry the preposition 'to' here. 'Goes abroad' is sufficient for 'abroad' itself means 'in or to another country'.

Question :25

Arun's parents died when he was young and so (a)/ he was looked over by his aunt (b)/ who had no children. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (b)

One 'looks after' (attends to) another person, not 'looks over' (examines briefly). 'He was looked after by his aunt' is correct.
