Rashmi Choudhary answered |
Explanation:
In this sentence, we are comparing the seriousness of the fault in the engine at two different times. Option A, "much more serious", correctly conveys that the fault is more severe than it was previously. Let's break down the other options:
- Option B, "as serious as", indicates that the fault is equally severe to the previous time, which is not what we want to convey.
- Option C, "so serious that", implies that the fault is so severe that it is causing other problems, but we are only comparing the severity to a previous time.
- Option D, "a lot serious", is not grammatically correct and should be "a lot more serious" to convey the intended meaning.
- Option E, "far more seriously than", is not grammatically correct and should be "far more serious than" to convey the intended meaning.
Therefore, option A is the most appropriate and grammatically correct choice.

Anirudh Verma answered |
Incorrect comparison: It is more better
The first error in this sentence is the use of "more better." "Better" is already a comparative form of "good," so adding "more" is redundant and incorrect. It should simply be "better."
Incorrect article: one of the parents
The second error is the use of "one of the parents" instead of "one parent." Since the sentence is discussing a single parent staying at home, it should use the singular form.
Incorrect verb tense: to took
The third error is the use of "to took" instead of "to take." "Took" is the past tense of "take," and it is not the correct form to use in this sentence.
Corrected sentence: It is better if one parent stays at home to take care of the children.
Revised sentence with HTML tags:
Incorrect comparison: It is more better.
Incorrect article: one of the parents.
Incorrect verb tense: to took.
Corrected sentence: It is better if one parent stays at home to take care of the children.

Learning a Foreign Language in the Country where it is Spoken
Learning a foreign language can be a challenging task, but it becomes easier when you are in the environment where the language is spoken. In this context, the given statement is "It's a lot easier to learn a foreign language in the country where it is spoken than in another country." This statement is true, and here are some reasons why:
1. Immersion in the Language and Culture
When you are in a country where the language is spoken, you are constantly surrounded by the language and culture. You hear the language being spoken on the streets, in shops, and in public transport. You can also observe the locals using the language in their daily lives. This immersion in the language and culture allows you to become familiar with the language and its nuances, making it easier to learn.
2. Opportunities to Practice
When you are in a country where the language is spoken, you have ample opportunities to practice speaking and listening to the language. You can interact with the locals, participate in language exchange programs, and attend language classes. These opportunities to practice the language help you to improve your proficiency and confidence in using the language.
3. Authenticity of the Language
Learning a language in a classroom setting can be useful, but it may not provide you with the authentic language experience. In contrast, when you are in the country where the language is spoken, you get to experience the language as it is used by native speakers. You get to learn the colloquialisms, idioms, and slang that are commonly used in everyday conversation.
Conclusion
In conclusion, learning a foreign language in the country where it is spoken is a lot easier than learning it in another country. The immersion in the language and culture, opportunities to practice, and authenticity of the language make it a conducive environment for learning. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to learn a foreign language in the country where it is spoken, it is highly recommended that you take advantage of it.

Kajal bhatia answered |
Correction: Change "many projects for" to "projects for the"
Explanation:
The sentence talks about the environment ministry sanctioning projects for the conservation of river Ganga. However, there is an error in the usage of the phrase "many projects for". Here, "many" is redundant as the word "several" already conveys the idea of multiple projects.
We need to use the correct article before the word "projects". In this case, "the" is the correct article to use as we are talking about specific projects that are aimed at conserving river Ganga.
Hence, the corrected sentence would be:
The environment ministry has sanctioned several projects for the conservation of river Ganga.

Jayant Mishra answered |
The error in the sentence is in part (C). The phrase "no any money" is incorrect. It should be either "no money" or "any money" depending on the context, but in this case, "no money" is the correct form.
The corrected sentence is:
He had to cut a sorry figure when he realized that he had no money in his purse.
So, the correct answer is:
3. no any money in his purse

Error Spotting questions are asked to test the grammatical and conceptual understanding of the candidate. In this question, we need to identify the part of the sentence that has an error and replace it with the correct one. The given sentence is:
"With a fresh coat of paint our school can look much nice."
The error is in part (d) "look much nice". The correct sentence should be "look much nicer". Here, the word 'nice' is an adjective and it modifies the noun 'school'. However, the adjective 'nice' is in its positive degree, which is incorrect as we need to use the comparative degree of the adjective here. The correct form is 'nicer' which is the comparative degree of the adjective 'nice'. Therefore, the correct sentence is:
"With a fresh coat of paint, our school can look much nicer."
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).
"With a fresh coat of paint our school can look much nice."
The error is in part (d) "look much nice". The correct sentence should be "look much nicer". Here, the word 'nice' is an adjective and it modifies the noun 'school'. However, the adjective 'nice' is in its positive degree, which is incorrect as we need to use the comparative degree of the adjective here. The correct form is 'nicer' which is the comparative degree of the adjective 'nice'. Therefore, the correct sentence is:
"With a fresh coat of paint, our school can look much nicer."
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

The given sentence is grammatically incorrect, and the error is in part (d). The correct sentence should be:
"Not driving your car regularly can be as damaging as driving it too hard and recklessly."
The word "hardly" in part (d) is incorrect; it should be "hard" instead.

Tanishq Verma answered |
The correct answer is option 'C' - more and more.
Explanation:
The phrase "more and more" is used to indicate a gradual increase or progression over time. In the given sentence, Ryan has been working "more and more" since he was promoted. This means that Ryan's level of work or the amount of work he has been doing has been increasing gradually or progressively since he received the promotion.
Here is a breakdown of the other options and why they are incorrect:
a) such a: This phrase is used to describe something of a high degree or extent. However, in the given sentence, it does not fit grammatically or contextually.
b) so: "So" is used to indicate a result or consequence. However, it does not fit in the sentence because it does not convey the idea of a gradual increase in Ryan's work.
d) just as: "Just as" is used to compare two things or actions that are similar or equivalent. However, in the given sentence, there is no comparison being made.
e) more than: "More than" is used to compare two quantities or amounts, indicating that one is greater than the other. In the given sentence, there is no comparison being made.
In conclusion, the correct answer is option 'C' - more and more, as it accurately conveys the idea of a gradual increase in Ryan's work since his promotion.

Identifying the Error
The phrase "more likelier" in option (c) is incorrect. The term "likelier" is a comparative form of "likely," which is formed incorrectly here. The correct comparative form should be "more likely."
Correct Usage
- "More likely" is the proper comparative phrase used to indicate a higher probability.
- Example: "Children with a high body mass index are more likely to develop health issues."
Understanding Comparative Forms
- Comparative forms are used to compare differences between two entities.
- "Likely" is an adjective; to form its comparative, "more" is added instead of modifying the adjective itself.
Importance of Correct Grammar
- Proper use of comparative forms enhances clarity and professionalism in writing.
- Incorrect forms can lead to misunderstandings or misinterpretations of the intended message.
Conclusion
In summary, the correct phrase should be "more likely" instead of "more likelier." This adjustment maintains grammatical correctness and improves the overall quality of the statement.
