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.

Identify the word that should be omitted to correct the sentence:
Do not talk such a nonsense!
  • a)
    Do
  • b)
    Such
  • c)
    A
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

C) Such

Explanation:
The correct answer is option C) Such.

In this sentence, the speaker is telling someone not to talk in a certain way. The word "such" is used to refer to the specific type of nonsense that the speaker is talking about. It is used to indicate the kind or type of nonsense being referred to.

The word "such" is an adjective that is used to describe or identify a specific type of noun or pronoun. In this case, it is used to describe the noun "nonsense". By using the word "such", the speaker is specifying the type of nonsense that they are referring to.

In this sentence, the speaker is expressing their disbelief or disagreement with what the other person is saying. They are indicating that they do not agree with or believe the nonsense that is being spoken.

Using the word "such" in this sentence adds emphasis and clarity to the speaker's statement. It makes it clear that they are referring to a specific type of nonsense and not just any kind of nonsense.

Overall, the correct answer is option C) Such because it accurately describes the type of word needed to complete the sentence and convey the intended meaning.

Let's analyze the different parts of the sentence:

Subject: The subject of the sentence is "little water".

Modifier: "that was left" is a modifier that provides additional information about the water.

Verb: The verb in the sentence is "was not enough", which indicates that the quantity of water was insufficient.

Overall, the sentence effectively conveys the message that the water remaining in the bottle was not enough to satisfy the thirst of two people.

  • a)
    The capital of Yemen
  • b)
    is situating
  • c)
    2190 meters above
  • d)
    the sea level
  • e)
    No Error
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Pranjal Gupta answered
Explanation:

The correct answer is option B, which states "is situating" as the error. The correct form should be "is situated" instead.

Reasoning:

- In the given sentence, the verb "is situating" is not in the correct form.
- The correct form of the verb in this context is "is situated," which is the present tense of the verb "to be" followed by the past participle of the verb "situate."
- "Situate" is a transitive verb, which means it requires an object to complete its meaning. In this case, the object is "the capital of Yemen."
- The correct sentence should be: "The capital of Yemen is situated 2190 meters above the sea level."

Corrected Sentence:

The capital of Yemen is situated 2190 meters above the sea level.

Choose the option that should be omitted from the sentence.
Although I was not interested in the lecture, but I sat through it.
  • a)
    although
  • b)
    but
  • c)
    Either although or but
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Shruti Singh answered
Understanding the Sentence Structure
The sentence "Although I was not interested in the lecture, but I sat through it" contains a redundancy in its conjunctions. Let's break down why option 'C' (either "although" or "but") should be chosen for omission.
Redundancy in Conjunctions
- The word "although" introduces a subordinate clause, indicating a contrast.
- The word "but" also serves as a conjunction to show contrast, making its presence unnecessary because "although" already fulfills that role.
Correcting the Sentence
- By removing "but," the sentence becomes: "Although I was not interested in the lecture, I sat through it."
- Alternatively, removing "although" gives: "I was not interested in the lecture, but I sat through it."
Both options maintain clarity without redundancy.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the use of both "although" and "but" in the same sentence is grammatically incorrect. Thus, option 'C', which suggests omitting either conjunction, is the correct answer. This enhances the overall readability and correctness of the sentence.

  • a)
    As our room was
  • b)
    upstairs, so we
  • c)
    didn't hear him
  • d)
    No error
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Sarita Singh answered
Change, upstairs, so we → upstairs, we.
