Test: Error Correction - Class 6 MCQ

The adjectives inferior, superior, senior, junior, prior etc. take the preposition to, not than. E.g.

She always felt inferior to her younger sister.
This material is superior to that.

Change, is situating → is situated

Delete 'if'

Supposing it rains what shall we do?

Change, None into Neither

None is used in reference for more than two. In reference to two 'neither' is used.

Change, I and my colleague → My colleague and I.

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).

Sentence is correct.

"Little water" means hardly any or almost no water, and it has a negative sense.

• But the sentence talks about some amount of water being there ("that was left..."), just not enough for two persons.

• So we should use "The little water" which means the small amount of water that was left — this fits the context.

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

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.

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."
