Lavanya Menon answered |
Let’s examine the sentence: “Five years ago on this date, I am sitting in a small Japanese car, driving across Poland towards Berlin.” The sentence mentions an event that happened five years ago. Hence, it would use the verbs of past tense. So, the verbs “am sitting” would become “was sitting” to correct the sentence. Hence, Option A is the correct answer.

Pranab Goyal answered |
Explanation:
The correct replacement for the underlined phrase in the given sentence is option B: "as if reading were a group activity just".
Reasoning:
The original sentence uses the verb "was" after the phrase "as though reading was a group activity just", which is incorrect. The verb "was" should be replaced with the subjunctive form "were" to indicate a hypothetical or unreal situation.
In English, the subjunctive mood is used to express conditions that are contrary to fact, hypothetical situations, or wishes. In this case, the speaker is expressing a hypothetical situation where reading is a group activity, similar to how trekking is a group activity.
The correct form of the verb to use in this context is "were" instead of "was". This is because the subjunctive form of the verb "to be" is "were" for all persons (I, you, he/she/it, we, they).
Therefore, the correct replacement for the underlined phrase is option B: "as if reading were a group activity just". This correctly uses the subjunctive form of the verb "to be" and maintains the meaning of the original sentence.

More than one person was killed in accident.
- a)were killed
- b)are killed

Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?
More than one person was killed in accident.
a)
were killed
b)
are killed
c)
have been killed
d)

Maitri Ahuja answered |
Although the phrase "more than one person" seems singular, it actually implies a plural subject when it comes to describing the event collectively. Therefore, "were killed" is the appropriate form.
So the sentence should be:
"More than one person were killed in the accident."

`armed with ……. Personnel’ is an adverbial. It has to be directly linked with verb come. So the highlighted phrase is wrong.
We do not have an option `has come armed with’
Option a) is wrong because a modal auxiliary has to be followed by basic form of verb.
c) is wrong because action indicated in the second part of the sentence which is in the past tense after the action in the first part. So first part should be in the past tense.
d) is wrong because it will make the first part in the future tense. Moreover the verb `arming’ will take its object without the preposition.

Pranab Goyal answered |
Understanding the Sentence
The original sentence, "Sordid and sensational books tend to vitiate the public taste," uses the word "vitiate," which means to impair or spoil the quality or efficiency of something. However, the context of how these types of books affect public taste can be more accurately described with a different term.
Analyzing the Alternatives
- a) Divide: This implies splitting or separating opinions, which doesn't accurately reflect the negative influence of such books on public taste.
- b) Distract: This suggests that these books pull attention away from more valuable or wholesome literature. This could be a valid interpretation, as sensational content can indeed divert readers' focus.
- c) Distort: This means to twist or misrepresent. While this term can apply to how sensational books might change perceptions, it does not capture the essence of how they influence public taste as effectively as "distract."
- d) No improvement: This option suggests that the original word is already appropriate, which isn't the case here.
Choosing the Correct Alternative
The best alternative is (b) distract. This is because it emphasizes how sordid and sensational books can lead readers away from more refined or quality literature, thus affecting their taste in a more direct manner.
In conclusion, using "distract" enhances the sentence by clarifying the negative impact of such books on public taste, making it a more accurate and insightful choice.

The legume Sesbania bispinosa, also known as Sesbania aculeata is a small tree in the genus Sesbania. It is an annual shrub which can grow to seven metres in height but usually only reaches one to two metres. It sends out fibrous, pithy stems with long leaves and bears purple-spotted yellow flowers. It produces pods which contain light brown beans. It can be used like industrial hemp for rope, fishnets, sackcloth and sailcloth. Its fibers are similar to those of birch trees and show promise as a source of paper fiber. Fibres can be obtained from stem of the plant. Kapok (ceiba), red Silk cotton (Salmalia) and cotton (Gossypium) are seed surface fibres.

Pranav Das answered |
Explanation:
No improvement is required:
The original sentence is already grammatically correct and does not need any improvement. The verb tense "heard" is in the past simple, which is appropriate for the context of the sentence. The use of "when" correctly indicates the time relationship between the actions of the experienced bikers and the woman's statement.
Therefore, the correct answer is option (e) No improvement is required.

Analysis of the Sentence
The original sentence states: "Ms Angela and three others were sentenced to four years imprisonment for amassing disproportionate assets to the tune of over Rs. 50 crore during their first tenure as chief minister for 1991 - 1996."
Focus on the Underlined Phrase
The underlined part is "their first tenure as chief minister for 1991 - 1996." The key issue here is the use of "their" and the preposition "for."
Evaluation of Options
- Option A: "their first tenure as chief minister for 1991 - 1996."
- This option retains the pronoun "their," which is incorrect because it should refer to Ms. Angela, a singular female subject.
- Option B: "her first tenure as chief minister during 1991 - 1996."
- This option correctly uses "her" to refer to Ms. Angela, and "during" is a more appropriate preposition for indicating the time span.
- Option C: "her first tenure as chief minister through 1991 - 1996."
- While "her" is correct, "through" suggests a continuous action that isn't suitable for a specific time frame like tenure.
- Option D: "their first tenure of chief minister during 1991 - 1996."
- Again, "their" is incorrect, and "of chief minister" is awkward; "as chief minister" is preferred.
Conclusion
The best replacement is option B: "her first tenure as chief minister during 1991 - 1996," as it correctly reflects the singular subject's perspective and uses the appropriate preposition for indicating the time period.

- Option B: "her first tenure as chief minister during 1991 - 1996."
- This option correctly uses "her" to refer to Ms. Angela, and "during" is a more appropriate preposition for indicating the time span.
- Option C: "her first tenure as chief minister through 1991 - 1996."
- While "her" is correct, "through" suggests a continuous action that isn't suitable for a specific time frame like tenure.
- Option D: "their first tenure of chief minister during 1991 - 1996."
- Again, "their" is incorrect, and "of chief minister" is awkward; "as chief minister" is preferred.
Conclusion
The best replacement is option B: "her first tenure as chief minister during 1991 - 1996," as it correctly reflects the singular subject's perspective and uses the appropriate preposition for indicating the time period.
