Question : 22 [sbi-clerk-2019]
An efficiency staff of workers (1)/ replenished the trays of (2)/ appetizers almost as (3)/ quickly as the guests emptied them. (4)
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
e) No error
Answer »Answer: (a)
Here “staff” is a noun, hence an adjective must modify it.
Thus, “efficiency” must be replaced by “efficient”.
Question : 23 [sbi-clerk-2019]
The earth's crust float over (1)/ a core of molten rock and some (2)/ of its parts have a tendency to (3)/ move with respect to one another. (4)
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
e) No error
Answer »Answer: (a)
Here, “crust” is a singular noun. Thus, the verb (float) should be singular as well.
So, “float” must be replaced by “floats” to make the sentence correct.
Question : 24 [sbi-clerk-2019]
She has a deep regard (1)/ for humanitarian aid (2)/ workers who risk (3)/ everything to help poor. (4)
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
e) No error
Answer »Answer: (d)
The error is in the fourth part of the sentence.
We need to replace 'poor' with 'the poor'. We need the object of the verb 'help' which will be a noun.
'Poor' is an adjective used to refer to those lacking sufficient money to live at a standard considered comfortable or normal in a society. 'The poor' acts as a noun and is used to refer to poor people.
So, the correct answer is option D.
Question : 25 [sbi-clerk-2019]
The army quick (1) repressed the rebellion (2)/ in the provincial city (3)/ and restored order. (4)
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
e) No error
Answer »Answer: (a)
“Repressed” has been used as a verb in the given sentence. Hence, it can only be modified by an adverb.
Hence, “quickly” should be used instead of “quick”.
