IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 11
Save

Direction: Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (E). Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.

Within two years, (A)/ the sisters had (B)/ losted their parents in (C) a tragic accident. (D)/ No error (E)
Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 11
The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

In the given sentence, the usage of tenses is inappropriate. Here, verbs are discussed here, i.e. lost. Remember that, 'lost' remains same in all the tenses. Thus, replace 'losted' with 'lost'.

Correct Sentence- Within two years, the sister had lost their parents in a tragic accident.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 12
Save

Direction: Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (E). Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.

If I would have realised (A)/ what a bad driver you were, (B)/ I would not have (C)/ come with you. (D)/ No error (E)
Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 12
In this sentence, it is important to understand the properties of conditionals (if-clause statements). Now, the correct construction says that if ‘would + have + 3rd form of the verb is used in the main clause, which in this case is ‘would not have come’. Then, the if clause should contain had + 3rd form of verb, which is not the case in this sentence. So, ‘would have realised’ shall be replaced by ‘had realised’.

The correct sentence is :-

If I had realized what a bad driver you were, I would not have come with you.

Hence, the correct option is (A).

IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 13
Save

Direction: Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (E). Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.

The chairman had not taken (A)/ any decision until (B)/ he had studied (C)/ the case thoroughly. (D)/ No error(E)
Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 13
In this sentence, there are two action verbs. The action verb tells us what the subject of our clause or sentence is doing-physically or mentally.

E.g. - Marie walked to school. (Walked tells us what Marie was doing.)

E.g. - Louis thought about the math problem. (Thought tells us what Louis was doing (mentally).)

First action verb – “he had studied” is the past perfect tense. Second action verb – “The chairman had not taken”

Since the first action word is in past perfect tense, the second action word should also be in simple past tense to maintain it's past perfect sense meaning i.e. to indicate something that has occurred in the simple past contrary to past perfect, which shows the past of the past (he had studied).

The correct sentence is:

The chairman did not take any decision until he had studied the case thoroughly.

Hence, the correct option is (A).

IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 14
Save

Direction: Read the sentence to find out whether there is any error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (E). Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.

I would rather (A) / pay for my (B)/ education than financial (C) / aid. (D) / No error (E)
Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 14
On analysing the sentence, we find that it is based on the parallel structure problem. Parallel structure means using the same pattern of words to show that two or more words or ideas are of equal importance.

When analyse part (A) and (B) of the sentence we find that a noun (education) and a verb (pay), but in part (C) and (D) of the sentence, there is only a noun (financial aid). We can’t find any verb out there.

The correct sentence is:-

I would rather pay for my education than receive/get financial aid.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 15

Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 15
The world bank wants to invest in new projects, so the use of the preposition “under” is incorrect. It will be replaced by the preposition “in”, i.e., “financing in new projects.”

The correct sentence is:

The World Bank has announced actions it plans to take as part of a comprehensive, global response to the ongoing food security crisis, with up to $30 billion in financing in existing and new projects.

Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 16
Here the use of the preposition “under” is correct. As we can infer from the line that tension arises due to deployments from China, the preposition “under” will be replaced with “by”, to make the sentence correct.

The correct sentence is:

The spokesperson pointed out that External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has already told the Chinese side that frictions and tensions arising from the deployments by China could not be reconciled.

IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 17

Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 17
As we know that “One of” is followed by plural noun; so, the word “method” will be replaced by “methods” to make the sentence grammatically correct.

The correct sentence is:

With the world going digital, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic, the United Payments Interface (UPI) has turned out to be one of the leading methods of payment in India.

Reliance India’s biggest retailer will acquire dozens of (P)/small grocery and non-food brands targeting (Q)/to build it’s own $6.5 billion consumer goods business for challenge (R)/ foreign giants like Unilever, according to the sources. (S)/ No Error.
Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 18
Given that “it’s” is the short form of “it is” which is incorrect for the sentence & this should be replaced by “its”. Moreover “for” is followed by the “ing” form of the verb, which is not given here. Thus “for” is both contextually and grammatically incorrect for the sentence. “For” will be replaced by “to”.

The correct sentence is:

Reliance India’s biggest retailer will acquire dozens of small grocery and non-food brands targeting to build its own $6.5 billion consumer goods business to challenge foreign giants like Unilever, according to the sources.

Direction: A sentence with one blank is given, indicating that something has been omitted. Choose the word that fits the blank appropriately.

We ________ to thank intrepid journalists, who have painstakingly documented Facebook’s wrongdoings.
Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 21
Options (A), (D) and (E) can be straightaway discarded because ‘many’ is used for ‘countable nouns’. ‘Many’ denotes ‘large number’, whereas ‘much’ denotes ‘large quantity’ of an ‘uncountable noun’.

Since journalists are to be thanked for their efforts and support, ‘much’ must be used.

The sentence is in Present tense. Thus, ‘had’ is incorrect.

‘Have much’ must be used to fill the blank.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 1 - Question 23
The appropriate fit for the blank is ‘turned down’.

Since the structure of the sentence is past tense, ‘turned down’ is the appropriate verb. Turn something/somebody down is a phrasal verb which means ‘to refuse an offer or request’. For example: He turned down the job because it involved too much travelling.

The rest of the options are cancelled as they make the sentence meaningless and are not in agreement with the tense of the sentence.

Hence, the correct option is (A).
