Question :1

Nothing but books and magazines pleases her.

Answer: (a)

This is so because 'please' (v.) refers to 'books and magazines' and not the singular noun 'nothing'. But note this 'Nothing pleases her but books and magazines.' You need to look for the true subject.

Answer: (c)

She will have a holiday only after she has taken her exam and not while taking it.

Answer: (b)

'In charge' means 'in control or authority'; 'in the charge of' means 'under the supervision or control of'.

Question :4

The parents became extremely troubled when their son did not return by midnight.

Answer: (c)

'Anxious' is a more appropriate word as it means 'worried because of possible misfortune or danger'. Though 'troubled' also means 'a state of mental distress', 'anxious' conveys the added feature of apprehending some danger.

Question :5

An accident took place early today morning.

Answer: (c)

It should either be 'An accident took place early today' or 'An accident took place early this morning.'
