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 :26

He couldn't but help (a)/ shed tears at the plight of the villagers (b)/ rendered homeless by a devastating cyclone. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (a)

'He couldn't help but' is the correct expression.

Question :27

We went to (a)/ the only Chinese restaurant in town (b)/ and were served piped hot food. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (c)

The correct phrase is 'piping hot food'.

Question :28

If I will have enough (a)/ time tomorrow, (b)/ I'll come and see you. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (a)

In conditional sentences with an 'if' clause, the verb in the 'if clause' should be in the present tense; it is only the verb in the main clause that is in future tense. If + 'will/would' is only possible with certain special meanings. Use of 'tomorrow' indicates a future time, so there is no need to use 'will' in (a).

Question :29

The lawyer told his client (a)/ that he would represent him (b)/ only if he pays up his fee. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (c)

'Pay up' means 'pay on demand' or 'pay fully'. Here, the past tense 'paid' must be used to maintain sequence of tenses.

Question :30

You will come (a)/ to my party tomorrow, (b)/ isn't it? (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (c)

The wrong question tag is used at the end. It should be 'won't you' and not 'isn't it'.
