The role of westernization has been very __(A)__ in understanding the socio-cultural changes of modern India. Western culture has brought about a __(B)__ in our society, especially among the youth.

AFCAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 25

In the following question, one part of the sentence may have an error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and click the button corresponding to it. If the sentence is free from error, click the ''No error'' option. 

Q. He was very cautious (1) / about committing (2) / him to anything. (3) / No error (4) 

Detailed Solution for AFCAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 25

This is a case of reflexive pronouns. A reflexive pronoun indicates that the person who is realizing the action of the verb is also the recipient of the action. Here the reflexive pronoun that must be used is 'himself' because the person who is cautious is the same person who doesn't to commit.  

Correct Sentence: He was very cautious about committing himself to anything.

Hence the correct answer is option 3.

AFCAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 26

Q. Diploma and certificate courses (1) / does not normally require the (2) / submission of a dissertation. (3) / No error (4)

Detailed Solution for AFCAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 26

Diploma and Certificate courses are two different subjects. So the verb must be plural. So we must write 'don't' instead of 'doesn't.'  

Correct Sentence: Diploma and certificate courses do not normally require the submission of a dissertation.

Hence the correct answer is option 2.

AFCAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 27

In the following question, one part of the sentence may have an error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and click the button corresponding to it. If the sentence is free from error, click the ''No error'' option. 

Q. The building's design is (1) / an interesting blend in (2) / traditionalism and modernism. (3) / No error (4)

Detailed Solution for AFCAT Mock Test - 3 - Question 27

This sentence has a prepositional error. 'In' is used to mean 'inclusion or involvement.' But here the building is not involved in traditionalism or modernism. What the sentence wants to convey is that the building is a result of the 'blend between traditionalism and modernism.' So we must use 'of.' 'Of' expressing the relationship between a part and a whole. 

Correct Sentence: The building's design is an interesting blend of traditionalism and modernism.

Hence the correct answer is option 2.
