Read the sentence to find out whether there is an error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number corresponding to that part will be your answer. If the given sentence is correct as it is, mark the answer as 'No error'. Ignore the errors of punctuation, if any.
Question : 4
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”.
Question : 5
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 : 6
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.
