common errors Model Questions & Answers, Practice Test for rbi grade b prelims 2024

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 :1

This small table (a)/ will collapse (b)/ if you will stand on it. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (c)

'Will' should not be used a second time in the conditional sentence.

Question :2

The duties of a policeman are regulating the traffic, (a)/ investigating crime (b)/ and to contain anti-social elements. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (c)

Parallel structure must be maintained all through the sentence. The verb 'to contain' must also be used in the present continuous mode. It should be 'containing'.

Question :3

Unless you stop to make noise at once, (a)/ I will have no option but to (b)/ bring the matter to the attention of the police. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (a)

The sentence should begin—'Unless you stop making noise at once'.

Question :4

It was time that (a)/ you started (b)/ working. (c)/ No error (d)

Answer: (a)

'It is time' is the correct beginning. The correct usage is 'it is time you' + past tense (use of 'that', as in the given sentence, is incorrect). Use of 'it was time' would be correct in indirect speech only: 'He said it was time I started working'.

Question :5

Twenty miles are (a)/ a long way (b)/ to walk. (c)/No error (d)

Answer: (a)

It should be 'Twenty miles is', not 'are'. 'Twenty miles' should be taken as a unit here—a certain distance. So a singular verb is to be used.
