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 :11

Your results depend not only on how much you have studied but how long you have read.

Answer: (a)

'Not only...but also' is used to join two related facts and places special emphasis on them. 'Not only on how much' is to be followed by 'but also on how long' in this sentence. However, (a) would apply if the first clause had been 'your results depend on not only how much you have studied'.

Question :12

It is easier walking than run.

Answer: (a)

Observe correct parallel construction. After 'easier' there is a 'to'; so 'easier to walk than to run'.

Question :13

This coffee is tasting bitter.

Answer: (a)

We cannot use 'tasting' (v.) with taste sensations—bitter, sour, salty and so on. 'Tasting' can be used only with the subject performing the action of 'tasting' as in 'He is tasting the dishes'. The comment or the statement is being made.

Question :14

There is a shortage of well-qualified teachers in most subjects, specially of English and Economics.

Answer: (a)

Especially (adv.) means particularly or principally. The preposition must be 'in', not 'of'.

Question :15

Had we been on time, we would not have missed the train.

Answer: (d)

No correction required.
