Directions:

In each of the following sentences, a part of the sentence has been italicised. Below are given alternatives to the part italicised which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative; wherever no improvement is needed choose 'No correction required' or 'No improvement' as the answer.

Question :11

It is sheer folly to believe that you can improve the situation by doing away people.

Answer: (a)

'Do away with' is to kill or destroy. 'Do with' is to 'make use of' or 'meddle with'.

Question :12

My father agreed with my going alone for the examination.

Answer: (a)

'Agree to' is used for a proposal or terms, as in the given sentence where father's agreement is to the proposal of my going alone. But 'agree with' should be used when referring to a person or an opinion, e.g., 'I agree with him.' 'She agrees with my view.'

Question :13

He has fallen out with the girl he wanted to marry.

Answer: (d)

To 'fall out' with someone is to 'quarrel' with that person. 'Fall for' someone is to 'develop a liking' for a person. 'Fall off' is to 'become detached' or 'perish'.

Question :14

Ashutosh had occupying this house for over 25 years and has no intention of vacating it now.

Answer: (d)

The action cannot be referred to in the past tense. As Ashutosh 'has' no intention of vacating the house, we have to use the present perfect continuous tense.

Question :15

I earnestly believe that you will visit our relatives during your forthcoming trip to Bombay.

Answer: (d)

'Earnestly' is an adverb that means 'sincere in intention', 'seriously' or 'fervently'.
