Test: Editing and Omission- 1 - Class 10 MCQ

The correct word is "rises," not "raise." The sentence should be "The sun rises in the east every morning."

"Since" is used to indicate the starting point of an action, so it is the correct word to use in this sentence.

The subject "they" needs a plural verb "go" to match, making option b the correct sentence.

"Inside" is redundant in this sentence because "entered" already implies going inside. The correct sentence would be, "They entered the house."

The comma is needed to separate the two independent clauses that are joined by the conjunction "but."

"Each" is singular, so the pronoun that refers to it should also be singular. The correct sentence would be, "Each of the students brought his or her textbook to class."

The subject is "My friends and I," which is plural, so the verb should also be plural. The correct sentence would be, "My friends and I are going to the concert tonight."

The items in the list should be parallel in structure. In this sentence, "to ride bikes" is not parallel with the other items. The correct sentence would be, "She likes hiking, swimming, and riding bikes."

The sentence "After finishing her homework, the television was turned on" contains an error in the use of a modifier. The phrase "After finishing her homework" is a dependent clause that modifies the subject of the sentence, which should be the person who turned on the television. However, the sentence makes it seem like the television turned itself on, which is illogical. To correct this error, the sentence could be rewritten as "After finishing her homework, she turned on the television." This makes it clear that the person who finished their homework is also the one who turned on the television.
