spotting errors Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for ibps so prelims 2023

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 :11

One of the members (a)/ expressed doubt if (b)/ the minister was an atheist. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (b)

'If' is incorrect; it should be replaced by 'as to whether'.

Question :12

With the advancement of winter, (a)/ the days grow shorter (b)/ while the nights grow longer. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (a)

'Advance' (n.), meaning development or progress, is to be used in place of 'advance- ment' which generally means 'improvement' or 'promotion'.

Question :13

I tried on both the dresses (a)/ and finally decided (b)/ to buy the expensive one. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (c)

Though the sentence seems correct as it is, the first part suggests a comparison—'I tried on both dresses'. A choice is made in buying one: either the 'more' expensive one or the 'less' expensive one. So (c) should read 'to buy the more expensive one' or 'to buy the less expensive one'.

Question :14

Everyone felt that (a)/ the big glittering diamond (b)/ was most unique. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (c)

A word such as 'unique' is in the superlative degree by itself and should not have 'most' before it.

Question :15

It is the duty of every citizen to do his utmost (a)/ to defend the hardly-won (b)/ freedom of the country. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (b)

'Hard-won' ('won with difficulty') is correct and not 'hardly-won'. 'Hardly won' would mean something that has not been won.
