Question :16

Hindi and Marathi are (a)/ different forms of the Sanskrit language, (b)/ which were once spoken (c)/in almost every part of India. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (c)

The verb in (c) refers to Sanskrit language only; so it should be a singular verb ('was').

I offered him part-time work (a)/ but he turned it over (b)/ saying that he would (c)/ rather wait for a full-time job. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (b)

Question :18

Mohan could not (a)/ go to the picnic (b)/ for his mother (c)/ was not well. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (c)

'As' or 'because' is the correct word here, not 'for'.

The job is much worse than I expected; (a)/ if I would have realised (b)/ how awful it was going to be (c)/ I would not have accepted it. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (b)

Question :20

Sunita opened a almirah (a)/ full of books (b)/ and took one of them (c)/ for reading. (d)/ No error (e)
