Save

Detect the error in the sentence.

Ram was / senior to / Sam in college.

This material is superior to that.

Test: Error Correction - Question 2
Save

Detect the error in the sentence.

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

Detailed Solution: Question 2

- The phrase "is situating" is incorrect because "situating" implies an ongoing action.
- The correct form is "is situated," which indicates a permanent state or location.
- The sentence should read: "The capital of Yemen is situated 2190 meters above the sea level."
- This change makes the sentence grammatically correct and clearly conveys that the capital's elevation is fixed.

Save

Detect the error in the sentence.
I and my colleague / have carefully considered the important issues raised by / the report which you sent me and / we have decided to take the following action.

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Error in order of pronouns.

Order of Pronoun Second person(2) + third (3)+ first person(1) in normal sentences. RULE-231
You, he and I have finished the work. (Normal idea)
I, you and he are to blame. ( here Confession of guilt is expressed , it's a negative idea, hence order is 123).

Test: Error Correction - Question 6
Save

Question(without Number): Detect the error in the sentence.Little water / that was left / in the bottle was not enough / to quench the thirst of two persons.

Detailed Solution: Question 6

Explanation: The phrase should be “The little water” because it refers to the small amount of water that still remained. “Little water” alone means almost no water, which does not fit the context.

Test: Error Correction - Question 7
Save

Detect the error in the sentence.

Every man, woman and child / is now aware / of the terrible consequences of / habit of smoking.

Detailed Solution: Question 7

Change, habit → the habit
Since, habit here has been particularized, i.e, the habit of smoking.

Test: Error Correction - Question 8
Save

Detect the error in the sentence.

As our room was / upstairs, so we/ didn't hear him.

Detailed Solution: Question 8

Change, upstairs, so we → upstairs, we.
When a sentence is started with 'as', then 'so' should not be used in the middle of the two clauses as a linker.

Test: Error Correction - Question 9
Save

Detect the error in the sentence.

On Friday evening / Mamta and me / took a coach / for Patna and arrived at Amit's house.

Detailed Solution: Question 9

The phrase "Mamta and me" is incorrect because when used as the subject of a sentence, we should use "I" instead of "me".

  • "Mamta and I" is the correct subject form.

So the corrected sentence should be:

"On Friday evening, Mamta and I took a coach for Patna and arrived at Amit's house."

Test: Error Correction - Question 10
Save

Identify the part of the sentence that contains an error. If there is no error, choose option D.She is one of the best students / in the class who / has consistently performed / well in exams.

Detailed Solution: Question 10

The error lies in subject-verb agreement. The phrase “one of the best students… who” refers to students (plural), so the verb should also be plural.
Correct form: “who have consistently performed well in exams.”
