Read the short story and answer the following questions.

Between nine and ten on a dark September evening the only son of the district doctor, Kirilov, a child of six, called Andrey, died of diphtheria. Just as the doctor's wife sank on her knees by the dead child's bedside and was overwhelmed by the first rush of despair there came a sharp ring at the bell in the entry.

All the servants had been sent out of the house that morning on account of the diphtheria. Kirilov went to open the door. It was dark in the entry and nothing could be distinguished in the man who came in but medium height, a white scarf, and a large, extremely pale face, so pale that its entrance seemed to make the passage lighter.

"Is the doctor at home?" the newcomer asked quickly.

"I am at home," answered Kirilov. "What do you want?"

"Oh, it's you? I am very . . . very glad! We are acquainted. My name is Abogin, and I had the honour of meeting you in the summer at Gnutchev's. I am very glad I have found you at home. For God's sake don't refuse to come back with me at once. My wife has been taken dangerously ill. And the carriage is waiting."

Kirilov listened and said nothing, as though he did not understand Russian.

In the following question, part(s) of the sentence may have an error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and mark the remaining, i.e., the errorless combination as your answer.

As soon as (A)/ I saw the bananas that (B)/ I knew the monkey (C)/ was hiding in the room. (D)
Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 13 - Question 7
The error lies in part (B).

The sentence uses the conjunction phrase 'as soon as', which shows a quick following of two events in a sentence. The part B uses the conjunction and preposition 'that', which is incorrect. There is no need to use another conjunction with the phrase 'as soon as'. This makes the use of another conjunction redundant.

So, the errorless combination is ACD.

Correct sentence - As soon as I saw the bananas I knew the monkey was hiding in the room.

Hence, the correct option is (B).

IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 13 - Question 8

In the following question, part(s) of the sentence may have an error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and mark the remaining, i.e., the errorless combination as your answer.

Hardly had I (A)/ finished my Tiffin than (B)/ the bell rang signifying (C)/ the end of recess. (D)
Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 13 - Question 8
The error lies in part (B).

The sentence uses the conjunction phrase 'Hardly had...when', which shows an immediate succession of events in a sentence. The sentence uses the conjunction 'than', which is used to compare between two things and is incorrect here. The correct conjunction to be used here is 'when'.

e.g. Hardly had I started my work when the boss came.

So, the errorless combination is ACD.

Correct sentence - Hardly had I finished my Tiffin when the bell rang signifying the end of recess.

Hence, the correct option is (D).

IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 13 - Question 9

In the following question, part(s) of the sentence may have an error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and mark the remaining, i.e., the errorless combination as your answer.

Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 13 - Question 9
There is no error.

The order and usage of helping verbs are correct.

Hence, the correct option is (E).

In the following question, part(s) of the sentence may have an error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and mark the remaining, i.e., the errorless combination as your answer.

Formulation of schemes (A)/ for betterment from the (B)/ youth is one of the prime (C)/ objectives of the mayor. (D)
Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 13 - Question 10
The error lies in part (B).

The sentence uses the preposition 'from', which is incorrect, given the context. The betterment will be 'of' the youth and not 'from' it. So, the correct preposition here is 'of'.

So, the errorless combination is ACD.

Correct sentence - Formulation of schemes for betterment of the youth is one of the prime objectives of the mayor.

Hence, the correct option is (A).

In the following sentence, a part of the sentence is underlined. Below are given alternatives to the underlined part, which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, choose the alternative that indicates 'No improvement.'

It was clearly a case of the pot calling the kettle black when they have said he was a thief.
Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 13 - Question 22
The given sentence is in the past tense.

The underlined phrase does not match the grammatical requirement of the sentence as 'they have said' is in the present perfect tense. The action has been done already and it is not going on now.

Instead, it should be replaced with 'they said that' because it is in the simple past tense and is indicating that it has been done.

thus, the correct sentence will be:

It was clearly a case of the pot calling the kettle black when they said that he was a thief.

Hence, the correct option (C).

IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 13 - Question 23

There can be no light in a room full of darkness if the door is not left opened.
Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 13 - Question 23
The given sentence is an opinion and it is in the present tense.

The underlined phrase is incorrect as 'opened' does not match the grammatical requirement of the sentence.

This is because:

Most English verbs have five forms: open (the base form), opens (the third-person singular present), opened (the simple past), opening (the present participle), and opened (the past participle). For regular verbs, like open, the simple past and the past participle forms are the same. For irregular verbs, the simple past and past participle are usually different: sing (the base form), sings (the third-person singular present), sang (the simple past), singing (the present participle), and sung (the past participle). The correct form depends on context. When you combine a verb with a form of to be, you typically need an -ed or -ing form. When you combine a verb with a modal like can or should or left (in this case), you typically need the base form (open). For example:

Incorrect: It’s really going to depended on you.

Correct: It’s really going to depend on you.

Incorrect: Your tuition could be completely cover.

Correct: Your tuition could be completely covered.

So, the correct sentence will be:

There can be no light in a room full of darkness if the door is not left open.

Hence, the correct option is (B).

In the following sentence, a part of the sentence is underlined. Below are given alternatives to the underlined part, which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, choose the alternative that indicates 'No improvement.'

Have the banks provide a loan to those who are genuinely in need?
Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 13 - Question 24
The verb 'have' is used as a past form of the verb 'to be'.

The underlined phrase does not match the grammatical requirement of the sentence as the sentence is in the present tense and also, the verb 'provide' is in the present tense.

Out of the given options, only the second option matches the context and the grammatical requirement of the sentence and it also changes the sentence to future tense just by using 'will' without really changing the rest of the sentence.

So, the correct sentence will be:

Will the banks provide a loan to those who are genuinely in need?

Hence, the correct option (B).

In the following sentence, a part of the sentence is underlined. Below are given alternatives to the underlined part, which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, choose the alternative that indicates 'No improvement.'

In this village, most of the farmers sleep without having to a proper meal.
Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 13 - Question 25
The given sentence is in the present tense. Here, 'a proper meal' does not contain any verb. In fact, 'meal' is an object and a noun.

According to the rules of grammar, we use 'to' as an adverb before a verb. 'Meal' is a noun and therefore, 'to' will not be used before it.

So, the correct sentence should be:

In this village, most of the farmers sleep without having a proper meal.

Hence, the correct option is (C).

Fill in the blanks with the word that makes a logical meaning in both sentences.

Roshni was totally confused seeing Sanjiv angry one minute and ________ the next. It is hard to believe that this ________ man is the same man who brutally killed his wife.
Detailed Solution for IBPS PO Prelims Mock Test - 13 - Question 26
The word 'jovial' means amiable or friendly. Since the first sentence says that Roshni was confused, we can assume that she was confused after seeing Sanjiv's contradictory moods, once angry and jovial. This fits in the next sentence too, where it is hard to believe that such a jovial man can be a murderer.

Meanings of other words are:

Judicial => legal

Juvenile => young, teenage

Jobber => wholesaler

Jury => judge, body of people

Hence, the correct option is (D).
