Rutuja Roy answered |
Understanding Articles in English
In English, articles are used to define nouns. There are three types of articles: definite (the) and indefinite (a, an). In this case, we are focusing on the choice of the indefinite article.
Indefinite Articles: "a" vs. "an"
- "A" is used before words that begin with a consonant sound.
- "An" is used before words that start with a vowel sound.
In the sentence "She adopted ______ one-eyed cat," the word "one-eyed" begins with the consonant sound "w" (as in "one"), so we should use "a" instead of "an."
Options Breakdown
1. a) "an" - Incorrect, because "one" starts with a consonant sound.
2. b) "a" - Correct choice, as it fits the rule of using "a" before a consonant sound.
3. c) "the" - Incorrect, since it implies a specific one-eyed cat, which is not mentioned in this context.
4. d) "no article needed" - Incorrect, because we need an article to specify the noun "cat."
Conclusion
Therefore, the correct answer is option B: "a". The sentence should read, "She adopted a one-eyed cat." This usage correctly follows the rules of English grammar regarding articles, ensuring clarity and correctness in communication.

Saikat Mehta answered |
Explanation:
The error in the given sentence lies in the phrase "None of two girls." Here, the phrase "None of two girls" is incorrect because it violates the rule of subject-verb agreement.
Subject-Verb Agreement:
In English grammar, subject-verb agreement refers to the correspondence between a subject and its verb in terms of number (singular or plural). When a subject is singular, the verb should also be singular, and when the subject is plural, the verb should also be plural.
In the given sentence, the subject is "two girls," which is plural. Therefore, the verb should also be plural. However, the verb "None" is singular, and it does not agree with the plural subject "two girls."
To correct this error, we need to change the phrase "None of two girls" to "Neither of the two girls." The word "neither" is used to refer to two people or things, and it is followed by the plural verb form.
The corrected sentence would be: "Neither of the two girls who were present appeared to be inclined to listen to sane advice."
Corrected Sentence:
Neither of the two girls / who were present / appeared to be inclined / to listen to sane advice.
Note:
It is important to maintain subject-verb agreement to ensure grammatical correctness in sentences.

Ashwini Goyal answered |
Explanation:
The error in the given sentence is in Part (a) "I and my colleague". The correct form should be "My colleague and I". When listing multiple people as the subject of a sentence, it is grammatically correct to put yourself last.
Corrected sentence:
My colleague and I have carefully considered the important issues raised by the report which you sent me, and we have decided to take the following action.
Reason:
When referring to yourself and others in a sentence, it is important to use the correct pronoun form and order. In this case, the pronoun "I" should come after the other person mentioned, which is "my colleague". This is because it is considered polite to mention others before yourself.
Corrected sentence breakdown:
The sentence can be broken down into the following parts:
1. My colleague and I: This is the correct subject of the sentence, referring to the people who have considered the important issues.
2. Have carefully considered: This phrase indicates the action of carefully thinking about or examining the important issues.
3. The important issues raised by: This prepositional phrase explains which specific issues were considered.
4. The report which you sent me: This relative clause provides additional information about the report, specifying that it was sent by the person being addressed.
5. And we have decided to take: This conjunction connects the previous action of considering the issues with the subsequent action of making a decision.
6. The following action: This noun phrase refers to the specific action that will be taken, which is not mentioned in the given sentence.
Conclusion:
The correct form of the sentence is "My colleague and I have carefully considered the important issues raised by the report which you sent me, and we have decided to take the following action."

Akshita Reddy answered |
Explanation:
The given sentence has an error in the usage of "if" and "supposing". Both these words cannot be used together in the same sentence. Hence, the correct answer is "Supposing if" which needs to be replaced with either "Supposing that" or "If".
The correct sentence can be written as:
- If it rains, what shall we do?
- Supposing that it rains, what shall we do?
Breaking down the sentence:
- Supposing if: This is incorrect usage since both "supposing" and "if" convey the same meaning and cannot be used together.
- It rains: This is the main clause of the sentence which indicates the condition.
- What shall we do?: This is the dependent clause of the sentence which asks the question about the action to be taken.
Correct sentence structure:
- Supposing that / If + main clause, dependent clause.
The correct usage of "if" and "supposing" is as follows:
- If: Used to indicate a condition that may or may not be true.
- Supposing: Used to introduce a hypothetical situation or to suggest an assumption.
Conclusion:
The correct sentence structure is important to convey the intended meaning. In this case, the correct usage of "if" and "supposing" is crucial for the sentence to be grammatically correct.

EduRev Class 10 answered |
"Little water" means hardly any or almost no water, and it has a negative sense.
- But the sentence talks about some amount of water being there ("that was left..."), just not enough for two persons.
- So we should use "The little water" which means the small amount of water that was left — this fits the context.
