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 :6

I am fully convinced of the integrity of my colleagues.

Answer: (e)

Question :7

Missed opportunities and failure to delivery results can destroy even well-run organisations.

Answer: (d)

'Missed opportunities' is a noun phrase and will take another noun phrase to form a compound subject. So (b) can be crossed out. If you choose (c), you find it cannot be followed by 'results can'. The same problem occurs with (a).

Question :8

Sushma was hurried to the station when she dashed against the truck.

Answer: (c)

The past continuous tense ('was hurrying') is essential as the sentence refers to a continuous action at the time when 'she dashed against the truck'.

Question :9

Take into account the suggestions of the panel, a revised draft report is being placed in the public domain.

Answer: (b)

A continuous tense of the verb 'take' is necessitated by the present continuous form 'is being placed'.

Question :10

Tokyo is one of the mostly populated cities in the world.

Answer: (b)

'Most' (adj.) is superlative of 'much' or 'many', with 'more' as the comparative form. Example, 'He is the most talented student' and 'He is more talented than others in his class'. 'Mostly' (adv.) means 'for the most part' or 'in the main'.
