Test: Sentence Correction- 1 - Question 3

Detailed Solution for Test: Sentence Correction- 1 - Question 3

Must should be followed by a verb in simple present. Hence, the answer should be "must see".

Test: Sentence Correction- 1 - Question 4

"He (to be) positively rude."

Detailed Solution for Test: Sentence Correction- 1 - Question 4

The sentence is in the past tense, indicated by the verb "to be." The correct form of "to be" in the past tense for "he" is "was." Additionally, the continuous form of the verb ("being") is needed to describe an ongoing action in the past. Therefore, the correct phrase is "was being." The sentence should read, "He was being positively rude."

Test: Sentence Correction- 1 - Question 6

"She glanced back to make sure she (wasn't to be) observed."

Test: Sentence Correction- 1 - Question 7

"He must not (to be left) like this."
