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

The most important quality a chief executive candidate should have a noble character.

Answer: (d)

Without an 'is' after 'have', the phrase, 'The most important quality' is left dangling: there is nothing to connect it to the rest of the sentence.

Question :12

It is a pity that no one in the family disapproves by his getting up late.

Answer: (a)

One 'disapproves of' a habit or custom. This is the correct usage.

Question :13

From time to time, there have been reports of how children had tried to imitate their favourite hero and landed in trouble.

Answer: (a)

Use of the 'past perfect' necessitates a past tense—'there were reports'. See this sentence: 'From time to time, there have been reports of how children have tried to imitate their favourite hero and landed in trouble.'

Question :14

For want of financial resources, he was unable to continue his studies.

Answer: (e)

'Unable' (adj.) means 'not able to'. It is the opposite of 'able'. 'Enable' (v.) is 'to make able'.

Question :15

He will be greatly surprised if he was felicitated by his staff members.

Answer: (b)

The if-clause should have a simple present tense verb in this conditional sentence.
