Most English idioms obey tense agreement, and “take (great) pains” is one of them. The expression most often is used with ‘great’ in it. Moreover, the ‘take’ will have to change for the tense of the sentence. Hence, the sentence should be:
His boss admires him a lot as he 'took' great pain over his work.

The given sentence contains an error in subject-verb agreement. "It were" should be corrected to "It was" to match the singular subject "it".
Explanation:
- Subject-verb agreement: This rule states that a singular subject requires a singular verb, and a plural subject requires a plural verb. In the given sentence, "it" is the subject, which is singular, but the verb "were" is plural. Hence, there is a disagreement between the subject and verb.
- Correction: To correct this error, we need to change "It were" to "It was" to match the singular subject "it". The corrected sentence would be: "It was the students who wanted the teacher to declare holiday."

Meera Rana answered |
The error is in part C of the sentence. The corrected sentence should be:A: People have a right to criticiseB: but at the same time each of themC: has to remember their duty also.D: no errorExplanation:- In part C, the subject is "each of them," which is considered singular. So, the verb should also be singular. Therefore, "have" should be replaced with "has."- The pronoun "his" should be replaced with "their" to maintain gender neutrality.

Sarthak Kumar answered |
The given sentence contains an error in subject-verb agreement. 'Class' is a collective noun, and it takes a singular verb. The correct verb form should be 'disagrees' instead of 'disagree'.
Detailed explanation:
- Subject-verb agreement: In English grammar, subject-verb agreement refers to the correspondence in number (singular or plural) and person (first, second, or third) between the subject and the verb of a sentence. In general, a singular subject takes a singular verb, and a plural subject takes a plural verb. However, there are some exceptions, such as collective nouns, which may take either a singular or plural verb depending on the context.
- Collective nouns: Collective nouns are words that refer to a group of people, animals, or things. Examples include 'family', 'team', 'herd', 'swarm', 'class', etc. Collective nouns may take a singular or plural verb depending on whether the emphasis is on the group as a whole or on the individuals within the group. For example, "The family is going on vacation" (singular verb) emphasizes the family as a unit, whereas "The family are arguing among themselves" (plural verb) emphasizes the individuals within the family.
- Solution: In the given sentence, the subject is 'class', which is a collective noun. Therefore, the correct verb form should be 'disagrees', which is the singular verb form. The other parts of the sentence are grammatically correct, including the use of semicolons to separate the clauses and the use of 'remember' as a transitive verb (taking an object 'the flood of cockroaches'). The sentence could be rewritten as follows:
"The class disagrees about the solution to the stuffy condition of the room; ten students want to open the window, but the others remember the flood of frightened cockroaches that poured in the last time Mr. Frampton released the window from the frame."

The error in the given sentence is in part B: "are needed to pass"The correct sentence should be: "Two thirds of the majority is needed to pass the resolution for the impeachment of the President."Explanation:- The subject of the sentence is "Two thirds of the majority," which is considered a singular entity. Therefore, the verb should agree with the singular subject.- The correct verb to use with a singular subject is "is" instead of "are."So, the corrected sentence with proper subject-verb agreement is:Two thirds of the majority is needed to pass the resolution for the impeachment of the President.

Correction of the sentence:
The correct sentence will be: These scissors are so dull that I'm not sure you could slice butter with them!

Punctuation:
- The sentence ends with an exclamation mark to show emphasis.

Preposition:
- The preposition 'with' is used after the verb 'slice' to show the object being cut.

Sonia das answered |
The correct sentence should be "It was the children that caused a lot of problem to their parents during the long bus journey." Here, "were" should be replaced with "was" as the subject "It" is singular.
Explanation:
Subject-Verb Agreement:
The subject "It" is singular, so the verb "were" should be replaced with "was".
Use of Articles:
The article "the" should be added before "long bus journey" as it is a specific journey that the children and parents took together.
Placement of Adjective:
The adjective "long" should be placed before the noun "bus journey" to indicate the duration of the journey.
Corrected Sentence:
It was the children that caused a lot of problem to their parents during the long bus journey.

Incorrect Verb Agreement
The given sentence is incorrect in terms of verb agreement. The subject of the sentence is "period," which is a singular noun, but the verb used is "have passed," which is plural. The correct verb to use in this sentence would be "has passed."
Corrected Sentence: The period of twenty-five years has passed, and still, he is without a job.
Explanation:
Subject-Verb Agreement
Subject-verb agreement means that the subject and verb in a sentence must agree in number. In other words, if the subject is singular, the verb must be singular, and if the subject is plural, the verb must be plural. In this sentence, the subject is "period," which is a singular noun, so the verb should be singular.
Using the Correct Verb
The correct verb to use in this sentence is "has passed." This is because "has" is the third-person singular form of the verb "to have," and it agrees with the singular subject "period." The sentence should read, "The period of twenty-five years has passed."
Eliminating Errors
By correcting the verb agreement, the sentence is free of errors. The corrected sentence is, "The period of twenty-five years has passed, and still, he is without a job."

Correct answer: (B) or Paul know the right
Explanation:
To understand the answer, we need to analyze the sentence and identify the error. The sentence is about serving wine with earthworm lasagna, which is an unusual dish. Therefore, it is important to choose the right wine that complements the flavors of the dish.
(A) "Someone perhaps Emmanuel" is incorrect because it does not make sense. The correct way to write it would be "Perhaps someone, like Emmanuel."
(B) "Or Paul know the right" is correct because it suggests that either Emmanuel or Paul knows the right wine to serve with earthworm lasagna.
(C) "Wine to serve with" is correct because it indicates that the speaker is looking for a specific type of wine that complements the dish.
(D) "Earthworm lasagna" is correct because it is the name of the dish.
Therefore, the correct answer is (B) or Paul know the right because it makes sense in the given context.

Sayali kapoor answered |
Given:
- Rohan is 7 ranks ahead of Karan in a class of 39.
- Karan's rank is seventeenth from the last.
To find:
- Rohan's rank from the start.
Solution:
- Karan's rank from the start = Total number of students in the class - Karan's rank from the last + 1
- Karan's rank from the last = 17
- Total number of students in the class = 39
- Karan's rank from the start = 39 - 17 + 1 = 23
- Rohan's rank from the start = Karan's rank from the start + 7 (as Rohan is 7 ranks ahead of Karan)
- Rohan's rank from the start = 23 + 7 = 30
Therefore, Rohan's rank from the start is 30.
