Select the phrase/ connector (it must be at the start) from the given three options which can be used to form a single sentence from the two sentences given below, implying the same meaning as expressed in the statement sentences.
Q. The country was in a state of deep turmoil. The President declared an emergency.
(i) As the country ____
(ii) On declaring an emergency ____
(iii) Being in a state of ____
  • a)
    Only (i)
  • b)
    Both (i) and (ii)
  • c)
    Both (ii) and (iii)
  • d)
    Both (i) and (iii)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Desai answered
  • The given two sentences are only connected with the connector 'As' to make a meaningful sentence.
  • 'As' is an adverb that is used to give the reason. 
  • From the second sentence, We can conclude that the president declared the emergency but the reason is the first sentence hence we need to use an adverb to tell the reason.
  • From the third sentence, it can not be possible because 'being' is used, it means the subject 'the country' has already known so we can't use 'being as a state'
Out of the given three options, the two sentences can be joined into a single sentence as:- 'As the country was in a state of deep turmoil, the President declared an emergency.'​

Find the sentence that is grammatically correct.
  • a)
    You, I and he are going to pluck the mango from his garden.
  • b)
    He, you and I are going to pluck the mango from his garden.
  • c)
    I, you and he are going to pluck the mango from his garden.
  • d)
    You, he and I are going to pluck the mango from his garden.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Desai answered
  • The third statement is grammatically correct as it shows the correct order of pronouns.
  • The order of pronouns tells about the sequential way the pronouns should be used in a sentence.
  • When the sentence depicts a positive context then the order of pronoun is 2,3,1, i.e. the second person, the third person singular, and the first person.
    • Example: You, he, and I are selected for the job. (Correct)
  • But, when it depicts a sense of responsibility then the order of pronoun is 1, 2 and 3, i.e. the first person, the second person, and the third person.
    • Example: I, you and he could not achieve the target.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: I, you and he are going to pluck the mango from his garden.

Direction: Choose the correct option changing the following sentence into assertive:
Q. How childish your talks are!
  • a)
    Your talks are childish.
  • b)
    Your talks should be childish.
  • c)
    Your talks are not childish.
  • d)
    Your talks are very childish.
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Muskaan reddy answered
Answer:

To change the given sentence "How childish your talks are!" into an assertive sentence, we need to rephrase it without the question word "How" and without the exclamation mark. The assertive sentence will simply state the fact without expressing surprise or questioning.

The correct option that changes the given sentence into an assertive sentence is option 'D' - "Your talks are very childish."

Explanation:

To understand why option 'D' is the correct answer, let's analyze the other options:

a) "Your talks are childish."
This option is a simple and straightforward assertion that the talks are childish. However, it does not capture the intensity of the original sentence. The original sentence expresses surprise or disbelief, which is better represented by the word "very" in option 'D'.

b) "Your talks should be childish."
This option suggests that the talks are not currently childish, but they should be. However, this does not accurately convey the meaning of the original sentence. The original sentence is making a judgment about the talks being childish, rather than suggesting what they should be.

c) "Your talks are not childish."
This option negates the assertion of the talks being childish. However, it contradicts the original sentence, which implies that the talks are indeed childish. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

d) "Your talks are very childish."
This option accurately conveys the meaning of the original sentence. It states that the talks are not just childish but are very childish. This captures the intensity and judgment expressed in the original sentence. Therefore, option 'D' is the correct answer.

In conclusion, the correct option is 'D' - "Your talks are very childish" because it accurately represents the original sentence in an assertive form.

Direction: Select the phrase/connector from the given three options which can be used to form a single sentence from the two sentences given below, implying the same as expressed in the statement sentence. 
Q. Maxine was the topper in her class. Sasha was in the bottom three.
1. Notwithstanding
2. Whereas
3. Unless
  • a)
    Only 1
  • b)
    Only 3
  • c)
    Both 1 and 3
  • d)
    Only 2
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Sara singh answered
Understanding the Question
The task is to combine two sentences into one using an appropriate connector. The original sentences are:
- Maxine was the topper in her class.
- Sasha was in the bottom three.
Analyzing the Options
1. Notwithstanding
- This means "in spite of" or "despite." Using this would imply a contrast between Maxine and Sasha, but it does not establish a clear relationship between their positions in class.
2. Whereas
- This connector is used to show contrast between two clauses. It implies that Maxine and Sasha occupy opposite ends of the academic spectrum, making it a suitable choice. The sentence could read: "Maxine was the topper in her class, whereas Sasha was in the bottom three."
3. Unless
- This implies a condition, meaning "if not." It does not logically connect the two sentences as it would imply that if Maxine was not the topper, then Sasha would not be in the bottom three, which is not the intended meaning.
Conclusion
Only "Whereas" effectively conveys the contrast between Maxine and Sasha's academic standings. Therefore, the correct answer is option D (Only 2).
Key Takeaways
- Connector Analysis: Understand the relationship each connector implies.
- Correct Usage: Use "whereas" for contrasting statements to combine the sentences effectively.

  • a)
    a moment I had 
  • b)
    a moment did I 
  • c)
    a moment would I 
  • d)
    a moment did me
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Harsh mehra answered
Sentence Explanation:
The given sentence is: "Not for a moment I did think that I would be trekking in the highlands of Scotland."

Error Analysis:
The error in the given sentence is the incorrect positioning of the subject and the auxiliary verb. In English, the standard word order for a declarative sentence is subject + auxiliary verb + main verb. However, in this sentence, the auxiliary verb "did" is placed before the subject "I," which is grammatically incorrect.

Correction:
To correct the sentence, we need to place the subject "I" before the auxiliary verb "did." The correct sentence would be: "Not for a moment did I think that I would be trekking in the highlands of Scotland."

Option Analysis:
Let's analyze the given options to determine the correct replacement for the highlighted phrase:

a) a moment I had: This option does not correct the error in the original sentence. It maintains the incorrect word order.

b) a moment did I: This option correctly corrects the error in the original sentence by placing the subject "I" before the auxiliary verb "did." This option is the correct replacement for the highlighted phrase.

c) a moment would I: This option does not correct the error in the original sentence. It introduces another error by using "would" instead of "did."

d) a moment did me: This option is grammatically incorrect. The correct pronoun to use after the auxiliary verb "did" is "I," not "me."

Final Answer:
The correct replacement for the highlighted phrase is option b) "a moment did I." This option corrects the error in the original sentence by placing the subject "I" before the auxiliary verb "did."

Choose the correct sentence from the following:
  • a)
    Rita and me are eating pancakes.
  • b)
    You, she and I are very irresponsible.
  • c)
    She advised me to read this book.
  • d)
    Neither of these three girls is intelligent.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Muskaan reddy answered
Explanation:

Subject-Verb Agreement:
In this question, we need to choose the correct sentence that demonstrates subject-verb agreement. Subject-verb agreement means that the subject and the verb in a sentence must agree in number. In other words, if the subject is singular, the verb should be singular, and if the subject is plural, the verb should be plural.

Options Analysis:
a) Rita and me are eating pancakes.
- This sentence is incorrect because it uses the pronoun "me" as the subject, which should be the pronoun "I". The correct form should be "Rita and I are eating pancakes", where "Rita and I" is the subject and "are eating" is the plural verb.

b) You, she and I are very irresponsible.
- This sentence is correct as it follows subject-verb agreement. The subject "You, she, and I" is a compound subject, and the plural verb "are" agrees with the plural subject.

c) She advised me to read this book.
- This sentence is correct as it follows subject-verb agreement. The subject "She" is singular, and the singular verb "advised" agrees with the singular subject.

d) Neither of these three girls is intelligent.
- This sentence is incorrect because it uses the singular verb "is" with the plural subject "three girls". The correct form should be "Neither of these three girls are intelligent", where "are" is the plural verb that agrees with the plural subject.

Correct Answer:
The correct sentence is option 'C': She advised me to read this book.

Choose the correct sentence from the following:
  • a)
    He was standing right of his father.
  • b)
    He was standing right for his father.
  • c)
    He was standing right in front of his father.
  • d)
    He was standing right from his father.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Sarika dubey answered
He was standing right in front of his father.

Explanation:
- The sentence is describing the position of a person in relation to their father.
- The correct preposition to use in this context is "in front of" as it indicates the person's position facing their father.
- The word "right" in this sentence is used to emphasize the accuracy or correctness of the position, indicating that the person is directly facing their father and not slightly off to the side.
- The word "right" here does not refer to direction (left or right) but rather to the correctness of the position.

Let's break down the options and analyze why they are correct or incorrect:

a) He was standing right of his father.
- This option is incorrect because "right of" suggests that the person is to the right side of their father, which does not indicate a position where they are facing their father directly.

b) He was standing right for his father.
- This option is incorrect because "right for" does not convey the correct meaning in this context. "Right for" usually implies correctness or suitability in terms of actions or decisions, not physical position.

c) He was standing right in front of his father.
- This option is correct because "in front of" accurately describes the position where the person is facing their father directly. The word "right" emphasizes the correctness of the position.

d) He was standing right from his father.
- This option is incorrect because "right from" does not convey the intended meaning. It suggests a direction or movement away from the father, rather than a position facing him.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He was standing right in front of his father."

Directions: Select the most appropriate option to
Q. Tons of sheep was grazing in the field.
  • a)
    No improvement.
  • b)
    A flock of sheep
  • c)
    Many sheeps
  • d)
    Numerous sheeps
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Desai answered
  • In the underlined segment, the use of the common noun plural form 'Tons' is incorrect.
  • The verb 'was' in the given sentence is a singular verb.
  • We know that a singular subject will always take a singular verb.
  • Therefore, the singular common noun 'A flock' should be used in place of 'Tons'.

Direction: Identify the segment in the given sentence which contains the grammatical error.
Q. If India will win this match they will win the series
  • a)
    If India will win
  • b)
    this match
  • c)
    they will win
  • d)
    the series
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Desai answered
  • ​In the given context, the main clause is in 'simple future tense' 
  • Thus, 'If clause' will be in present tense; i.e. 'will win' will be replaced with 'wins'
  • The given context is a conditional sentence The structure of the conditional sentence is- If + Simple Present, Simple Future
  • In such sentences 'If clause' will be in simple present tense and the 'main clause' in simple future tense

Direction: Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence. In case no improvement is needed select ‘No improvement required’.
Q. Fierce competition against restaurants has driven up the prices.
  • a)
    along
  • b)
    No improvement required
  • c)
    among
  • d)
    through
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Desai answered
  • The given sentence talks about an undefined number or a group of restaurants.
  • The preposition 'among' is used when talking about people or things that are not distinct and are viewed as a group.
    • Example: A decision that has caused a lot of anger among women.
  • Therefore the word 'against' must be replaced with the preposition 'among' to make the sentence grammatically correct.
  • Hence option c is the correct answer.

Direction: Select the option that will improve the underlined part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select ‘No improvement’.
Q. As we’ve been neighbours, I have known Mrs. Shashi Singh since more than 16 years.
  • a)
    by more than 16 years
  • b)
    from more than 16 years
  • c)
    No improvement
  • d)
    for more than 16 years
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Desai answered
  • The underlined part begins with the preposition 'since'.
  • When 'since' is used a preposition of time, it is used to refer to a specific point in time. 
  • So to use it for a period of time (more than 16 years) is incorrect.
  • The correct preposition to be used with a period of time is 'for'. 
  • So, to improve the sentence we need to replace the underlined part with 'for more than 16 years'. 

Direction: Select the phrase/connector from the given three options which can be used to form a single sentence from the two sentences given below, implying the same as expressed in the statement sentence. 
Q. She scored full marks in her exam. Mohini would not be allowed to participate in the annual day. 
1. Unless
2. Whereas
3. At least
  • a)
    Only 1
  • b)
    Only 3
  • c)
    Only 2
  • d)
    Both 3 and 1
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Desai answered
  • The first statement talks about how she (Mohini) scored full marks on her exam, while the second statement talks about how she would not be permitted to participate in her annual day.  
  • It would not make sense that even though she already scored full marks on her exam that someone would not allow her to participate in an extra-curricular activity (annual day). 
  • It would be more logical to assume that if it so happened that Mohini did not score full marks on her exam she would not be allowed to participate in the annual day. 
    • 'Unless' is a connector used to introduce an exception. 
    • One statement is the truth, except for in the following scenario. 
Thus, the final statement will be: 'Unless she scored full marks in her exam, Mohini would not be allowed to participate in the annual day.'

Direction: A part of the sentence is underlined. Below are given four alternatives which may improve the word. Choose the correct alternative.
Q. I hadn't been seeing him for the last 10 years.
  • a)
    be seen
  • b)
    seen
  • c)
    saw
  • d)
    seeing
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Desai answered
  • Verbs of perception such as see, taste, smell, hear, prefer, notice, please, recognize etc. do not take 'ing' form.
  • And hence do not come in the continuous tense.
  • Thus, to convert the sentence to Past Perfect tense instead of Past Perfect Continuous tense, in order to make it grammatically correct, we will have to replace the underlined words with 'seen'.
  • Hence, option b is the most appropriate choice.

Direction: Choose the sentence that conveys the same meaning as the given sentence.
Q. Mary had hardly said a word since the party began.
  • a)
    Mary had not spoken much after the party began.
  • b)
    In the beginning, Mary did not speak much.
  • c)
    Mary said many words at the end of the party.
  • d)
    The party began and Mary tried not to speak much.
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Rahul Desai answered
  • The sentence means that Mary did not speak much after the party began.
  • The adverb 'hardly' means 'barely; only just'. 
  • The preposition 'since' means 'in the intervening period between (the time mentioned) and the time under consideration, typically the present.' Eg: She had hated it since she was a baby.
  • So, only option 1 is correct.
  • no other option conveys this meaning.
