Solutions :-
Sol.235.(a) help at mitigate the
Preposition ‘at’ will be removed as we directly use the bare
in?nitive after the verb bid, let, watch, see, make, help, and hear.
Hence ‘help mitigate the’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.236.(d) for scratching of whole areas
Preposition ‘of’ will be removed as scratch is a transitive verb
and it will not use any preposition with it. The will be used before
“whole”. Hence, ‘For scratching the whole areas’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.237.(c) restaurant about here?
‘About’ will be removed. ‘About’ is not needed. Hence, ‘restaurant
here’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.238.(c)
Factoring is, of course, different from and superior than
‘Than’ will be replaced by ‘to’ as we generally use the preposition
‘to’ with some Adjectives for comparison (Similar, Superior,
Inferior, Equal, Identical). Hence, ‘Factoring is, of course, different
from and superior to’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.239.(b) after one other in
‘Other’ will be replaced by another as we generally use the
reciprocal pronoun ‘one another’ to indicate a mutual
relationship between two or more people or things. Hence, ‘after
one another in’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.240.(d) Now its referring to the same
It's is a contraction and should be used where a sentence would
read "it is." Its with no apostrophe is the possessive pronoun, like
"his" and "her," for nouns without gender. Hence, ‘ Now it’s
referring to the same ’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.241.(c) discusses is funny, playing
‘Playing’ must be replaced with ‘playful’ as we need to use a
predicative adjective : These adjectives come after linking verbs
(e.g., "be," "become," "seem") and describe the subject of the
sentence. Hence, ‘discusses is funny, playful’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.242.(d) attack we have ever seen.
“One of the + Superlative degree of the adjective(best, worst,
etc) + Plural Subject” is grammatically the correct structure. For
example, one of the best men, one of the greatest kings, one of
the worst phones, etc. Hence, ‘attacks we have ever seen’ is the
most appropriate structure.
Sol.243.(d) no error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.244.(d) No error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.245.(a) there is a number
‘Is’ must be replaced with ‘are’ in the given sentence. According
to the subject-verb agreement, ‘A + Number of + Plural nouns’
always takes plural verbs. Hence, ‘there are a number’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.246.(b) use in pies and tarts, you
‘Use’ must be replaced with ‘used’ as the ?rst clause of the
sentence is in passive voice and the verb will always be in the
3rd form in the passive voice. Hence, ‘Used in pies and tarts, you’
is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.247.(c) di?cult tasks demand lot
We generally use article ‘a’ with ‘lot’ as an expression meaning ‘a
larger quantity’ or 'many’ (a lot of books, a lot of experience).
Hence, ‘di?cult tasks demand a lot’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.248.(d) No error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.249.(b) involve!' Sandhya
‘Involve’ must be replaced with ‘Involved’ in the given sentence.
As we generally use past participles with the verb ‘get’. Hence,
‘involved!’ Sandhya’ will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.250.(d) Never put of
‘Of’ must be replaced with ‘off’ as the phrasal verb ‘put off’
means to delay doing something. Hence, ‘never put off’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.251.(c) No error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.252.(d) to make of matching
The preposition ‘of’ must be replaced with ‘by’ in the given
sentence. The use of the preposition ‘by’ is correct because it is
indicating the method by which the shapes are made. While the
preposition ‘of’ is used to indicate a part of something. Hence,
‘to make by matching’ will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.253.(c) it have been another long day.
‘Have’ must be replaced with ‘has’ in the given sentence.
According to the subject-verb agreement, a singular subject
takes a singular verb and a plural subject always takes a plural
verb. Here, in the sentence ‘it’ is a singular subject. Hence, ‘it has
been another long day’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.254.(c) was smooth as the most timid of
Conjunction 'as' will be replaced with 'as...as'. The conjunction
'as' is used to state the reason whereas the conjunction 'as...as'
is used to state similarity between two things or situations. The
given sentence states the similarity of smoothness between the
passage and the desires of the most timid navigator. Hence, 'as
smooth as the most timid' is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.255.(b) When I have arrived at
If two actions took place in the past then the 1st action must be
in the Past perfect tense(Had + V
3
) and the 2nd action must be
in the Simple Past tense(V
2
). Hence, ‘when I arrived at’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.256.(a) gaze became distinctly coldest
‘Coldest’ must be replaced by ‘colder’ as to maintain
consistency, the correct usage would be to use the comparative
degree throughout the sentence. In this correction, both "higher"
and "colder" are in the comparative degree, indicating a
comparison between two states or levels. Hence, ‘gaze became

passage and the desires of the most timid navigator. Hence, 'as
smooth as the most timid' is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.255.(b) When I have arrived at
If two actions took place in the past then the 1st action must be
in the Past perfect tense(Had + V
3
) and the 2nd action must be
in the Simple Past tense(V
2
). Hence, ‘when I arrived at’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.256.(a) gaze became distinctly coldest
‘Coldest’ must be replaced by ‘colder’ as to maintain
consistency, the correct usage would be to use the comparative
degree throughout the sentence. In this correction, both "higher"
and "colder" are in the comparative degree, indicating a
comparison between two states or levels. Hence, ‘gaze became
www.ssccglpinnacle.com Download Pinnacle Exam Preparation App 28
Pinnacle Spot the Error
distinctly colder’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.257.(a) Earths temperature would
‘Earths’ must be replaced with ‘Earth’s’ as the apostrophe is used
to show possession or ownership. In this case, we are referring
to the temperature of Earth, so we use the possessive form by
adding an apostrophe before the "s" in "Earths." Hence, ‘Earth's
temperature would’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.258.(b) Early, during December 2021
The error in the sentence is the use of the word "during." Since
the sentence speci?es December 2021, it implies that Lal was
appointed as the Secretary to the Lokpal at some point within
that month. However, the word "during" suggests a continuous
action or a period of time, which is not appropriate in this
context. Hence, ‘Early in december 2021’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.259.(a) In 79 A.D., the Mount Vesuvius blew
Article ‘the’ must be removed as we generally use article ‘the’
with the names of mountains but we do not use ‘the’ if the name
includes Mount or Mountain (Mount Olympus, Brokeback
Mountain).
Sol.260.(d) He behaves so aggressive in his new
‘Aggressive’ must be replaced with the adverb ‘Aggressively’ as
we generally use adverbs to describe the verb (aggressive).
Hence, ‘he behaves so aggressively in his new’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.261.(c) No error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.262.(c) If I was a clown,
‘Was’ must be replaced with ‘Were’. When expressing unreal or
hypothetical situations in the present or future, the subjunctive
mood is used, which requires the use of ‘were’ instead of ‘was’
after ‘if’. Hence, ‘If I were a clown’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.263.(b) Peoples might confess
‘Peoples’ must be replaced with ‘people’ as people is already the
plural form and it doesn’t require ‘s’ to make its plural form.
Hence, ‘people might confess’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.264.(a) No error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.265.(a) with parents is know
‘Know’ must be replaced with ‘known’ as the given sentences is
in passive voice (is + V3). The 3rd form of the verb ‘Know’ is
‘known’. Hence, ‘with parents is known’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.266.(c) played badminton, are you good?
‘Played’ must be replaced with ‘play’ as we generally use bare
in?nitives after the verbs such as let, bid, see, hear, watch,
observe, etc. Hence, ‘play badminton, are you good’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.267.(b) Even if a evidence was
‘A evidence’ must be replaced with ‘the evidence’. ‘Evidence’ is an
uncountable noun, so we can not use article ‘a / an’. Here, the
person talking about the evidence is familiar with it and we use
article ‘the’ for things that are familiar or known to us. Hence,
‘Even if the evidence was’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.268.(b) the more loud they would scream.
The phrase ‘the more loud’ will be replaced with the correct
comparative degree ‘the louder’. Hence, ‘the louder they would
scream’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.269.(b) the two words that the judge use
The main clause in the given sentence is in Simple Past
tense(indicated by ‘were’). The given sentence is narrating a past
event. So, we need to use the past form of the verb i.e. ‘used’ in
place of ‘use’. Hence, ‘the two words that the judge used’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.270.(a) as strong possible.
‘As strong possible’ will be replaced with ‘ as strong as possible’.
This is because "As...as" is a comparative structure that shows
similarity or equality between two elements. It is used to
compare two things or actions and indicates that they are of the
same degree or level. Hence, ‘as strong as possible’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.271.(d) help me to
‘Help me to’ will be replaced with ‘help me with’ as the verb
"help" is typically followed by the preposition "with" when
indicating assistance or support in accomplishing a task or
project. Hence, ‘Help me with’ will be the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.272.(a) eleven to get of the last two
‘Get of’ will be replaced with ‘Get off’ as it means to successfully
complete or achieve. It conveys the intended meaning that
eleven runs were needed to successfully complete the last two
deliveries. Hence, ‘Get off’ will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.273.(d) me a best indication of
Article ‘a’ will be replaced with article ‘the’ as we use ‘the’ before
superlative degree of adjectives. Hence, ‘the best indication’ is
the most appropriate answer.
Sol.274.(b) glittery pen black?
Adjectives should be written before the noun (pen) that is being
quali?ed. The general order of adjectives before a noun is the
following: Opinion, Size, Shape, Condition, Age, Colour,Pattern,
Origin, Material and Purpose. ‘Glittery’ represents opinion and
‘black’ is the color. Hence, ‘glittery black pen’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.275.(a) Formed, they eventually becomes
‘Becomes’ will be replaced with ‘become’ as according to the
Subject-verb agreement, Singular subject always takes singular
verb and plural subject takes plural verb. Here in the sentence
‘they’ is a plural subject, so we need the plural verb ‘become’.
Hence. ‘Formed, they eventually become’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.276.(a) Before he could devote many more
‘Many more’ will be replaced with ‘much more’ as much is used
to describe the quantity of an uncountable noun. The word
"thought" is an uncountable noun, which means it cannot be
used with ‘many’. Hence, ‘before he could devote much more’
will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.277.(c) Stimulate brain cells to
‘Stimulate’ will be replaced with ‘stimulates’ as it agrees with the
subject ‘consumption of alcohol’ which is singular. According to
the subject verb-agreement, singular subject takes singular verb
and plural subject takes plural verb. Hence, ‘Stimulates brain

Solutions :-
Sol.235.(a) help at mitigate the
Preposition ‘at’ will be removed as we directly use the bare
in?nitive after the verb bid, let, watch, see, make, help, and hear.
Hence ‘help mitigate the’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.236.(d) for scratching of whole areas
Preposition ‘of’ will be removed as scratch is a transitive verb
and it will not use any preposition with it. The will be used before
“whole”. Hence, ‘For scratching the whole areas’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.237.(c) restaurant about here?
‘About’ will be removed. ‘About’ is not needed. Hence, ‘restaurant
here’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.238.(c)
Factoring is, of course, different from and superior than
‘Than’ will be replaced by ‘to’ as we generally use the preposition
‘to’ with some Adjectives for comparison (Similar, Superior,
Inferior, Equal, Identical). Hence, ‘Factoring is, of course, different
from and superior to’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.239.(b) after one other in
‘Other’ will be replaced by another as we generally use the
reciprocal pronoun ‘one another’ to indicate a mutual
relationship between two or more people or things. Hence, ‘after
one another in’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.240.(d) Now its referring to the same
It's is a contraction and should be used where a sentence would
read "it is." Its with no apostrophe is the possessive pronoun, like
"his" and "her," for nouns without gender. Hence, ‘ Now it’s
referring to the same ’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.241.(c) discusses is funny, playing
‘Playing’ must be replaced with ‘playful’ as we need to use a
predicative adjective : These adjectives come after linking verbs
(e.g., "be," "become," "seem") and describe the subject of the
sentence. Hence, ‘discusses is funny, playful’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.242.(d) attack we have ever seen.
“One of the + Superlative degree of the adjective(best, worst,
etc) + Plural Subject” is grammatically the correct structure. For
example, one of the best men, one of the greatest kings, one of
the worst phones, etc. Hence, ‘attacks we have ever seen’ is the
most appropriate structure.
Sol.243.(d) no error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.244.(d) No error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.245.(a) there is a number
‘Is’ must be replaced with ‘are’ in the given sentence. According
to the subject-verb agreement, ‘A + Number of + Plural nouns’
always takes plural verbs. Hence, ‘there are a number’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.246.(b) use in pies and tarts, you
‘Use’ must be replaced with ‘used’ as the ?rst clause of the
sentence is in passive voice and the verb will always be in the
3rd form in the passive voice. Hence, ‘Used in pies and tarts, you’
is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.247.(c) di?cult tasks demand lot
We generally use article ‘a’ with ‘lot’ as an expression meaning ‘a
larger quantity’ or 'many’ (a lot of books, a lot of experience).
Hence, ‘di?cult tasks demand a lot’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.248.(d) No error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.249.(b) involve!' Sandhya
‘Involve’ must be replaced with ‘Involved’ in the given sentence.
As we generally use past participles with the verb ‘get’. Hence,
‘involved!’ Sandhya’ will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.250.(d) Never put of
‘Of’ must be replaced with ‘off’ as the phrasal verb ‘put off’
means to delay doing something. Hence, ‘never put off’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.251.(c) No error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.252.(d) to make of matching
The preposition ‘of’ must be replaced with ‘by’ in the given
sentence. The use of the preposition ‘by’ is correct because it is
indicating the method by which the shapes are made. While the
preposition ‘of’ is used to indicate a part of something. Hence,
‘to make by matching’ will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.253.(c) it have been another long day.
‘Have’ must be replaced with ‘has’ in the given sentence.
According to the subject-verb agreement, a singular subject
takes a singular verb and a plural subject always takes a plural
verb. Here, in the sentence ‘it’ is a singular subject. Hence, ‘it has
been another long day’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.254.(c) was smooth as the most timid of
Conjunction 'as' will be replaced with 'as...as'. The conjunction
'as' is used to state the reason whereas the conjunction 'as...as'
is used to state similarity between two things or situations. The
given sentence states the similarity of smoothness between the
passage and the desires of the most timid navigator. Hence, 'as
smooth as the most timid' is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.255.(b) When I have arrived at
If two actions took place in the past then the 1st action must be
in the Past perfect tense(Had + V
3
) and the 2nd action must be
in the Simple Past tense(V
2
). Hence, ‘when I arrived at’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.256.(a) gaze became distinctly coldest
‘Coldest’ must be replaced by ‘colder’ as to maintain
consistency, the correct usage would be to use the comparative
degree throughout the sentence. In this correction, both "higher"
and "colder" are in the comparative degree, indicating a
comparison between two states or levels. Hence, ‘gaze became
www.ssccglpinnacle.com Download Pinnacle Exam Preparation App 28
Pinnacle Spot the Error
distinctly colder’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.257.(a) Earths temperature would
‘Earths’ must be replaced with ‘Earth’s’ as the apostrophe is used
to show possession or ownership. In this case, we are referring
to the temperature of Earth, so we use the possessive form by
adding an apostrophe before the "s" in "Earths." Hence, ‘Earth's
temperature would’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.258.(b) Early, during December 2021
The error in the sentence is the use of the word "during." Since
the sentence speci?es December 2021, it implies that Lal was
appointed as the Secretary to the Lokpal at some point within
that month. However, the word "during" suggests a continuous
action or a period of time, which is not appropriate in this
context. Hence, ‘Early in december 2021’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.259.(a) In 79 A.D., the Mount Vesuvius blew
Article ‘the’ must be removed as we generally use article ‘the’
with the names of mountains but we do not use ‘the’ if the name
includes Mount or Mountain (Mount Olympus, Brokeback
Mountain).
Sol.260.(d) He behaves so aggressive in his new
‘Aggressive’ must be replaced with the adverb ‘Aggressively’ as
we generally use adverbs to describe the verb (aggressive).
Hence, ‘he behaves so aggressively in his new’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.261.(c) No error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.262.(c) If I was a clown,
‘Was’ must be replaced with ‘Were’. When expressing unreal or
hypothetical situations in the present or future, the subjunctive
mood is used, which requires the use of ‘were’ instead of ‘was’
after ‘if’. Hence, ‘If I were a clown’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.263.(b) Peoples might confess
‘Peoples’ must be replaced with ‘people’ as people is already the
plural form and it doesn’t require ‘s’ to make its plural form.
Hence, ‘people might confess’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.264.(a) No error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.265.(a) with parents is know
‘Know’ must be replaced with ‘known’ as the given sentences is
in passive voice (is + V3). The 3rd form of the verb ‘Know’ is
‘known’. Hence, ‘with parents is known’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.266.(c) played badminton, are you good?
‘Played’ must be replaced with ‘play’ as we generally use bare
in?nitives after the verbs such as let, bid, see, hear, watch,
observe, etc. Hence, ‘play badminton, are you good’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.267.(b) Even if a evidence was
‘A evidence’ must be replaced with ‘the evidence’. ‘Evidence’ is an
uncountable noun, so we can not use article ‘a / an’. Here, the
person talking about the evidence is familiar with it and we use
article ‘the’ for things that are familiar or known to us. Hence,
‘Even if the evidence was’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.268.(b) the more loud they would scream.
The phrase ‘the more loud’ will be replaced with the correct
comparative degree ‘the louder’. Hence, ‘the louder they would
scream’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.269.(b) the two words that the judge use
The main clause in the given sentence is in Simple Past
tense(indicated by ‘were’). The given sentence is narrating a past
event. So, we need to use the past form of the verb i.e. ‘used’ in
place of ‘use’. Hence, ‘the two words that the judge used’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.270.(a) as strong possible.
‘As strong possible’ will be replaced with ‘ as strong as possible’.
This is because "As...as" is a comparative structure that shows
similarity or equality between two elements. It is used to
compare two things or actions and indicates that they are of the
same degree or level. Hence, ‘as strong as possible’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.271.(d) help me to
‘Help me to’ will be replaced with ‘help me with’ as the verb
"help" is typically followed by the preposition "with" when
indicating assistance or support in accomplishing a task or
project. Hence, ‘Help me with’ will be the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.272.(a) eleven to get of the last two
‘Get of’ will be replaced with ‘Get off’ as it means to successfully
complete or achieve. It conveys the intended meaning that
eleven runs were needed to successfully complete the last two
deliveries. Hence, ‘Get off’ will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.273.(d) me a best indication of
Article ‘a’ will be replaced with article ‘the’ as we use ‘the’ before
superlative degree of adjectives. Hence, ‘the best indication’ is
the most appropriate answer.
Sol.274.(b) glittery pen black?
Adjectives should be written before the noun (pen) that is being
quali?ed. The general order of adjectives before a noun is the
following: Opinion, Size, Shape, Condition, Age, Colour,Pattern,
Origin, Material and Purpose. ‘Glittery’ represents opinion and
‘black’ is the color. Hence, ‘glittery black pen’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.275.(a) Formed, they eventually becomes
‘Becomes’ will be replaced with ‘become’ as according to the
Subject-verb agreement, Singular subject always takes singular
verb and plural subject takes plural verb. Here in the sentence
‘they’ is a plural subject, so we need the plural verb ‘become’.
Hence. ‘Formed, they eventually become’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.276.(a) Before he could devote many more
‘Many more’ will be replaced with ‘much more’ as much is used
to describe the quantity of an uncountable noun. The word
"thought" is an uncountable noun, which means it cannot be
used with ‘many’. Hence, ‘before he could devote much more’
will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.277.(c) Stimulate brain cells to
‘Stimulate’ will be replaced with ‘stimulates’ as it agrees with the
subject ‘consumption of alcohol’ which is singular. According to
the subject verb-agreement, singular subject takes singular verb
and plural subject takes plural verb. Hence, ‘Stimulates brain
www.ssccglpinnacle.com Download Pinnacle Exam Preparation App 29
Pinnacle Spot the Error
cells to’ will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.278.(d) customers ?nd an best out?t.
‘An’ will be replaced with ‘the’ as the adjective ‘best’ is the
superlative degree of ‘well’ and we generally use de?nite articles
with superlative degrees. Hence, ‘customers ?nd the best out?t’
is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.279.(b) work he became the slyer
‘The slyer’ will be replaced with ‘the slyest’ as ‘slyer’ is a
comparative form and we need a superlative form of the
adjective ‘sly’ i.e. ‘slyest’ to match the later part of the sentence.
Hence, ‘Work he became the slyest’ will be the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.280.(d) Neither teachers or
‘Neither teachers or’ will be replaced with ‘neither teachers nor’
as ‘neither….nor’ is a ?xed conjunction pair. Hence, ‘Neither
teachers nor’ will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.281.(a) George handing the
The use of verb ‘handing’ is incorrect here because we can not
use V4(ing) as the main verb without a helping verb. The adverb
‘later’ indicates something happened after some time. ‘Handing’
will be replaced with the past form ‘handed’ to make it
grammatically correct. Hence, ‘George handed the’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.282.(b) changing the balance of
The verb ‘changing’ is incorrect because we can not use ‘V
4
’(ing
form) with the helping verb of present perfect tense(has/have).
The third form (V
3
) ‘changed’ will be used in place of ‘changing’.
Hence, ‘changed the balance of’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.283.(a) Largest farmers usually
‘Largest farmers’ will be replaced with ‘the largest farmers’ as
when referring to a speci?c group of farmers, the de?nite article
‘the’ is required before the superlative adjective ‘largest’. Hence,
‘the largest farmers usually’ will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.284.(d) be punished immediate.
Adjective ‘Immediate’ must be replaced with the adverb
‘immediately’ as we need an adverb to modify the verb
‘punished’. Hence, ‘to be punished immediately’ will be the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.285.(a) books into the extreme
‘Into’ will be replaced with ‘in’ as the preposition ‘in’ indicates the
location of the books. Hence, ‘books in the extreme’ will be the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.286.(b) Mothers can pass the HIV virus to
Article 'the' must be removed as we don’t use article ‘the’ before
names. ‘HIV’ is the name of a virus. Hence, 'Mothers can pass
HIV virus to' is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.287.(c) Muses is going stronger
‘Muses is’ will be replaced with ‘muses are’. According to the
“Subject-Verb Agreement Rule”, a plural subject (muses) always
takes a plural verb(are). Hence, ‘Muses are going stronger’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.288.(a) might not work out in
Preposition ‘In’ must be replaced with ‘on’ as we generally use
‘on’ to discuss the success or outcome of a particular activity or
process. Hence, ‘might not work out in’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.289.(c) No error
The given sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.290.(c) The government have a rudimentary plan for
According to the “Subject-Verb Agreement Rule”, a singular
subject always takes a singular verb and a plural subject always
takes a plural verb. In the given sentence, ‘government’ is a
singular subject that will take ‘has’ as a singular form. Hence,
‘The government has a rudimentary plan for’ is the most
appropriate structure.
Sol.291.(d) things on common
The phrase ‘in common’ is used to describe similarity between
two or more things or persons. The given sentence is talking
about similarity between all of the farmers that were
interviewed. Hence, ‘things in common’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.292.(a) Do not be put of by the
‘Put off’ is the correct phrasal verb to be used in place of ‘put of’.
‘Put off’ means to lose interest or enthusiasm in something. In
the given sentence, it implies that you don’t have to be
discouraged by the mathematical equation. Hence, ‘do not be
put off by the’ is the most appropriate answer
Sol.293.(c) Fires in California is
According to the “Subject-Verb Agreement Rule”, a singular
subject always takes a singular verb and a plural subject always
takes a plural verb. In the given sentence, ‘?res’ is a plural
subject that will take ‘are’ as a plural verb. Hence, ‘Fires in
California are’ is the most appropriate structure.
Sol.294.(d) provinces of the Great Britain and some
The de?nite article "the" should not be used before "Great
Britain" in this passage. "Great Britain" is a proper noun and It
does not require the de?nite article "the" before it. Hence,
‘provinces of Great Britain and some’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.295.(b) Sorry I will be late as a ?ight
‘As a ?ight’ will be replaced with ‘as the ?ight’ because article
‘the’ is used when talking about something de?nite or particular.
In the given sentence the person is talking about the ?ight he is
going to aboard. Hence, ‘sorry I will be late as the ?ight’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.296.(a) great problem of all
‘Great problem of all’ will be replaced with ‘greatest problem of
all’ as article ‘the’ is used before superlative degree adjectives.
Hence, ‘greatest problem of all’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.297.(a) a few feet before the ground
The preposition ‘before’ is used to indicate a position in front of
or prior to something. However, when describing the vertical
distance between the bars and the ground, the correct
preposition to use is ‘above.’ Hence, ‘a few feet above the
ground’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.298.(c) An appeasements policies
Article ‘an’ must be removed as we don’t use an article before
plural noun (appeasement policies) also appeasements must be
replaced with appeasement as it is used as an adjective to
modify the noun ‘policies’. Hence, ‘Appeasement policies’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.299.(a) strong before you know it
Use of the positive degree adjective ‘strong’ is incorrect as we

Solutions :-
Sol.235.(a) help at mitigate the
Preposition ‘at’ will be removed as we directly use the bare
in?nitive after the verb bid, let, watch, see, make, help, and hear.
Hence ‘help mitigate the’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.236.(d) for scratching of whole areas
Preposition ‘of’ will be removed as scratch is a transitive verb
and it will not use any preposition with it. The will be used before
“whole”. Hence, ‘For scratching the whole areas’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.237.(c) restaurant about here?
‘About’ will be removed. ‘About’ is not needed. Hence, ‘restaurant
here’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.238.(c)
Factoring is, of course, different from and superior than
‘Than’ will be replaced by ‘to’ as we generally use the preposition
‘to’ with some Adjectives for comparison (Similar, Superior,
Inferior, Equal, Identical). Hence, ‘Factoring is, of course, different
from and superior to’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.239.(b) after one other in
‘Other’ will be replaced by another as we generally use the
reciprocal pronoun ‘one another’ to indicate a mutual
relationship between two or more people or things. Hence, ‘after
one another in’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.240.(d) Now its referring to the same
It's is a contraction and should be used where a sentence would
read "it is." Its with no apostrophe is the possessive pronoun, like
"his" and "her," for nouns without gender. Hence, ‘ Now it’s
referring to the same ’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.241.(c) discusses is funny, playing
‘Playing’ must be replaced with ‘playful’ as we need to use a
predicative adjective : These adjectives come after linking verbs
(e.g., "be," "become," "seem") and describe the subject of the
sentence. Hence, ‘discusses is funny, playful’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.242.(d) attack we have ever seen.
“One of the + Superlative degree of the adjective(best, worst,
etc) + Plural Subject” is grammatically the correct structure. For
example, one of the best men, one of the greatest kings, one of
the worst phones, etc. Hence, ‘attacks we have ever seen’ is the
most appropriate structure.
Sol.243.(d) no error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.244.(d) No error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.245.(a) there is a number
‘Is’ must be replaced with ‘are’ in the given sentence. According
to the subject-verb agreement, ‘A + Number of + Plural nouns’
always takes plural verbs. Hence, ‘there are a number’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.246.(b) use in pies and tarts, you
‘Use’ must be replaced with ‘used’ as the ?rst clause of the
sentence is in passive voice and the verb will always be in the
3rd form in the passive voice. Hence, ‘Used in pies and tarts, you’
is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.247.(c) di?cult tasks demand lot
We generally use article ‘a’ with ‘lot’ as an expression meaning ‘a
larger quantity’ or 'many’ (a lot of books, a lot of experience).
Hence, ‘di?cult tasks demand a lot’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.248.(d) No error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.249.(b) involve!' Sandhya
‘Involve’ must be replaced with ‘Involved’ in the given sentence.
As we generally use past participles with the verb ‘get’. Hence,
‘involved!’ Sandhya’ will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.250.(d) Never put of
‘Of’ must be replaced with ‘off’ as the phrasal verb ‘put off’
means to delay doing something. Hence, ‘never put off’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.251.(c) No error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.252.(d) to make of matching
The preposition ‘of’ must be replaced with ‘by’ in the given
sentence. The use of the preposition ‘by’ is correct because it is
indicating the method by which the shapes are made. While the
preposition ‘of’ is used to indicate a part of something. Hence,
‘to make by matching’ will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.253.(c) it have been another long day.
‘Have’ must be replaced with ‘has’ in the given sentence.
According to the subject-verb agreement, a singular subject
takes a singular verb and a plural subject always takes a plural
verb. Here, in the sentence ‘it’ is a singular subject. Hence, ‘it has
been another long day’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.254.(c) was smooth as the most timid of
Conjunction 'as' will be replaced with 'as...as'. The conjunction
'as' is used to state the reason whereas the conjunction 'as...as'
is used to state similarity between two things or situations. The
given sentence states the similarity of smoothness between the
passage and the desires of the most timid navigator. Hence, 'as
smooth as the most timid' is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.255.(b) When I have arrived at
If two actions took place in the past then the 1st action must be
in the Past perfect tense(Had + V
3
) and the 2nd action must be
in the Simple Past tense(V
2
). Hence, ‘when I arrived at’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.256.(a) gaze became distinctly coldest
‘Coldest’ must be replaced by ‘colder’ as to maintain
consistency, the correct usage would be to use the comparative
degree throughout the sentence. In this correction, both "higher"
and "colder" are in the comparative degree, indicating a
comparison between two states or levels. Hence, ‘gaze became
www.ssccglpinnacle.com Download Pinnacle Exam Preparation App 28
Pinnacle Spot the Error
distinctly colder’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.257.(a) Earths temperature would
‘Earths’ must be replaced with ‘Earth’s’ as the apostrophe is used
to show possession or ownership. In this case, we are referring
to the temperature of Earth, so we use the possessive form by
adding an apostrophe before the "s" in "Earths." Hence, ‘Earth's
temperature would’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.258.(b) Early, during December 2021
The error in the sentence is the use of the word "during." Since
the sentence speci?es December 2021, it implies that Lal was
appointed as the Secretary to the Lokpal at some point within
that month. However, the word "during" suggests a continuous
action or a period of time, which is not appropriate in this
context. Hence, ‘Early in december 2021’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.259.(a) In 79 A.D., the Mount Vesuvius blew
Article ‘the’ must be removed as we generally use article ‘the’
with the names of mountains but we do not use ‘the’ if the name
includes Mount or Mountain (Mount Olympus, Brokeback
Mountain).
Sol.260.(d) He behaves so aggressive in his new
‘Aggressive’ must be replaced with the adverb ‘Aggressively’ as
we generally use adverbs to describe the verb (aggressive).
Hence, ‘he behaves so aggressively in his new’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.261.(c) No error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.262.(c) If I was a clown,
‘Was’ must be replaced with ‘Were’. When expressing unreal or
hypothetical situations in the present or future, the subjunctive
mood is used, which requires the use of ‘were’ instead of ‘was’
after ‘if’. Hence, ‘If I were a clown’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.263.(b) Peoples might confess
‘Peoples’ must be replaced with ‘people’ as people is already the
plural form and it doesn’t require ‘s’ to make its plural form.
Hence, ‘people might confess’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.264.(a) No error
The sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.265.(a) with parents is know
‘Know’ must be replaced with ‘known’ as the given sentences is
in passive voice (is + V3). The 3rd form of the verb ‘Know’ is
‘known’. Hence, ‘with parents is known’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.266.(c) played badminton, are you good?
‘Played’ must be replaced with ‘play’ as we generally use bare
in?nitives after the verbs such as let, bid, see, hear, watch,
observe, etc. Hence, ‘play badminton, are you good’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.267.(b) Even if a evidence was
‘A evidence’ must be replaced with ‘the evidence’. ‘Evidence’ is an
uncountable noun, so we can not use article ‘a / an’. Here, the
person talking about the evidence is familiar with it and we use
article ‘the’ for things that are familiar or known to us. Hence,
‘Even if the evidence was’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.268.(b) the more loud they would scream.
The phrase ‘the more loud’ will be replaced with the correct
comparative degree ‘the louder’. Hence, ‘the louder they would
scream’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.269.(b) the two words that the judge use
The main clause in the given sentence is in Simple Past
tense(indicated by ‘were’). The given sentence is narrating a past
event. So, we need to use the past form of the verb i.e. ‘used’ in
place of ‘use’. Hence, ‘the two words that the judge used’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.270.(a) as strong possible.
‘As strong possible’ will be replaced with ‘ as strong as possible’.
This is because "As...as" is a comparative structure that shows
similarity or equality between two elements. It is used to
compare two things or actions and indicates that they are of the
same degree or level. Hence, ‘as strong as possible’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.271.(d) help me to
‘Help me to’ will be replaced with ‘help me with’ as the verb
"help" is typically followed by the preposition "with" when
indicating assistance or support in accomplishing a task or
project. Hence, ‘Help me with’ will be the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.272.(a) eleven to get of the last two
‘Get of’ will be replaced with ‘Get off’ as it means to successfully
complete or achieve. It conveys the intended meaning that
eleven runs were needed to successfully complete the last two
deliveries. Hence, ‘Get off’ will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.273.(d) me a best indication of
Article ‘a’ will be replaced with article ‘the’ as we use ‘the’ before
superlative degree of adjectives. Hence, ‘the best indication’ is
the most appropriate answer.
Sol.274.(b) glittery pen black?
Adjectives should be written before the noun (pen) that is being
quali?ed. The general order of adjectives before a noun is the
following: Opinion, Size, Shape, Condition, Age, Colour,Pattern,
Origin, Material and Purpose. ‘Glittery’ represents opinion and
‘black’ is the color. Hence, ‘glittery black pen’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.275.(a) Formed, they eventually becomes
‘Becomes’ will be replaced with ‘become’ as according to the
Subject-verb agreement, Singular subject always takes singular
verb and plural subject takes plural verb. Here in the sentence
‘they’ is a plural subject, so we need the plural verb ‘become’.
Hence. ‘Formed, they eventually become’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.276.(a) Before he could devote many more
‘Many more’ will be replaced with ‘much more’ as much is used
to describe the quantity of an uncountable noun. The word
"thought" is an uncountable noun, which means it cannot be
used with ‘many’. Hence, ‘before he could devote much more’
will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.277.(c) Stimulate brain cells to
‘Stimulate’ will be replaced with ‘stimulates’ as it agrees with the
subject ‘consumption of alcohol’ which is singular. According to
the subject verb-agreement, singular subject takes singular verb
and plural subject takes plural verb. Hence, ‘Stimulates brain
www.ssccglpinnacle.com Download Pinnacle Exam Preparation App 29
Pinnacle Spot the Error
cells to’ will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.278.(d) customers ?nd an best out?t.
‘An’ will be replaced with ‘the’ as the adjective ‘best’ is the
superlative degree of ‘well’ and we generally use de?nite articles
with superlative degrees. Hence, ‘customers ?nd the best out?t’
is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.279.(b) work he became the slyer
‘The slyer’ will be replaced with ‘the slyest’ as ‘slyer’ is a
comparative form and we need a superlative form of the
adjective ‘sly’ i.e. ‘slyest’ to match the later part of the sentence.
Hence, ‘Work he became the slyest’ will be the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.280.(d) Neither teachers or
‘Neither teachers or’ will be replaced with ‘neither teachers nor’
as ‘neither….nor’ is a ?xed conjunction pair. Hence, ‘Neither
teachers nor’ will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.281.(a) George handing the
The use of verb ‘handing’ is incorrect here because we can not
use V4(ing) as the main verb without a helping verb. The adverb
‘later’ indicates something happened after some time. ‘Handing’
will be replaced with the past form ‘handed’ to make it
grammatically correct. Hence, ‘George handed the’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.282.(b) changing the balance of
The verb ‘changing’ is incorrect because we can not use ‘V
4
’(ing
form) with the helping verb of present perfect tense(has/have).
The third form (V
3
) ‘changed’ will be used in place of ‘changing’.
Hence, ‘changed the balance of’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.283.(a) Largest farmers usually
‘Largest farmers’ will be replaced with ‘the largest farmers’ as
when referring to a speci?c group of farmers, the de?nite article
‘the’ is required before the superlative adjective ‘largest’. Hence,
‘the largest farmers usually’ will be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.284.(d) be punished immediate.
Adjective ‘Immediate’ must be replaced with the adverb
‘immediately’ as we need an adverb to modify the verb
‘punished’. Hence, ‘to be punished immediately’ will be the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.285.(a) books into the extreme
‘Into’ will be replaced with ‘in’ as the preposition ‘in’ indicates the
location of the books. Hence, ‘books in the extreme’ will be the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.286.(b) Mothers can pass the HIV virus to
Article 'the' must be removed as we don’t use article ‘the’ before
names. ‘HIV’ is the name of a virus. Hence, 'Mothers can pass
HIV virus to' is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.287.(c) Muses is going stronger
‘Muses is’ will be replaced with ‘muses are’. According to the
“Subject-Verb Agreement Rule”, a plural subject (muses) always
takes a plural verb(are). Hence, ‘Muses are going stronger’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.288.(a) might not work out in
Preposition ‘In’ must be replaced with ‘on’ as we generally use
‘on’ to discuss the success or outcome of a particular activity or
process. Hence, ‘might not work out in’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.289.(c) No error
The given sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.290.(c) The government have a rudimentary plan for
According to the “Subject-Verb Agreement Rule”, a singular
subject always takes a singular verb and a plural subject always
takes a plural verb. In the given sentence, ‘government’ is a
singular subject that will take ‘has’ as a singular form. Hence,
‘The government has a rudimentary plan for’ is the most
appropriate structure.
Sol.291.(d) things on common
The phrase ‘in common’ is used to describe similarity between
two or more things or persons. The given sentence is talking
about similarity between all of the farmers that were
interviewed. Hence, ‘things in common’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.292.(a) Do not be put of by the
‘Put off’ is the correct phrasal verb to be used in place of ‘put of’.
‘Put off’ means to lose interest or enthusiasm in something. In
the given sentence, it implies that you don’t have to be
discouraged by the mathematical equation. Hence, ‘do not be
put off by the’ is the most appropriate answer
Sol.293.(c) Fires in California is
According to the “Subject-Verb Agreement Rule”, a singular
subject always takes a singular verb and a plural subject always
takes a plural verb. In the given sentence, ‘?res’ is a plural
subject that will take ‘are’ as a plural verb. Hence, ‘Fires in
California are’ is the most appropriate structure.
Sol.294.(d) provinces of the Great Britain and some
The de?nite article "the" should not be used before "Great
Britain" in this passage. "Great Britain" is a proper noun and It
does not require the de?nite article "the" before it. Hence,
‘provinces of Great Britain and some’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.295.(b) Sorry I will be late as a ?ight
‘As a ?ight’ will be replaced with ‘as the ?ight’ because article
‘the’ is used when talking about something de?nite or particular.
In the given sentence the person is talking about the ?ight he is
going to aboard. Hence, ‘sorry I will be late as the ?ight’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.296.(a) great problem of all
‘Great problem of all’ will be replaced with ‘greatest problem of
all’ as article ‘the’ is used before superlative degree adjectives.
Hence, ‘greatest problem of all’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.297.(a) a few feet before the ground
The preposition ‘before’ is used to indicate a position in front of
or prior to something. However, when describing the vertical
distance between the bars and the ground, the correct
preposition to use is ‘above.’ Hence, ‘a few feet above the
ground’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.298.(c) An appeasements policies
Article ‘an’ must be removed as we don’t use an article before
plural noun (appeasement policies) also appeasements must be
replaced with appeasement as it is used as an adjective to
modify the noun ‘policies’. Hence, ‘Appeasement policies’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.299.(a) strong before you know it
Use of the positive degree adjective ‘strong’ is incorrect as we
www.ssccglpinnacle.com Download Pinnacle Exam Preparation App 30
Pinnacle Spot the Error
use the same type of adjectives when they are joined by a
conjunction(‘and’ in the given sentence). The adjective ‘more
muscular’ is in comparative form, so we will use comparative
degree ‘stronger’ in place of ‘strong’. Hence, ‘stronger before you
know it’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.300.(d) it is, for the wind was
The phrase ‘it is’ will be replaced with ‘it was’ because this
phrase is a part of the main clause which indicates a past event.
Further, the second clause (‘was rustling’) is also given in past
tense. Hence, ‘it was, for the wind was’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.301.(d) foods that is fatty
The phrase ‘that is’ will be replaced with ‘that are’ because the
antecedent(foods) of the relative pronoun ‘that’ is plural. Plural
verbs should be used for plural antecedent. Hence, ‘that are’ will
be the most appropriate answer.
Sol.302.(a) Cleanest, a home worthy of
‘Cleanest’ must be replaced with ‘clean’ as "cleanest" is a
superlative form of the adjective "clean." Superlatives are used to
compare three or more items or qualities. However, in this
sentence, there is no comparison being made between multiple
homes or qualities. So, we can use the adjective "clean" alone.
Hence, ‘Clean, a home worthy of’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.303.(c) Evening, so she rubs brahmi
‘Rubs’ must be replaced with ‘rubbed’ as the verb "rub" should be
in the past tense to match the tense of the sentence. Since the
sentence is written in the past tense ("had been angry"), the
action of rubbing the brahmi oil into the scalp should also be in
the past tense. Hence, ‘evening, so she rubbed brahmi’ is the
most appropriate answer.
Sol.304.(a) nearer the end
‘Nearer’ must be removed as the phrase ‘close’ and ‘nearer’
convey the same meaning of proximity or nearness. Hence,
‘close to the end’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.305.(d) get off his horse quick as
"As...as" is a comparative structure used to compare two things
and ‘as + adverb(quickly) + as’ is the correct grammatical
structure for the given sentence. Hence, ‘get off his horse as
quickly as’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.306.(d) Susan had recently run on to
The correct phrasal verb is ‘run into’. ‘Run into’ means to
accidentally meet someone. Hence, ‘Susan had recently run into’
is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.307.(a) Of great technology that had.
‘Had’ must be replaced with ‘has been’ as we need to use the
passive voice of present perfect tense (has been +V3) that
indicates the technology came into existence in the past and still
exists in the present. Hence, ‘Of great technology that has been
born’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.308.(b) The chill as they soar upwards; he
‘Soar’ must be replaced with ‘soared’ as the given sentence is in
simple past tense and we need to use the pronoun ‘he’ for the
singular noun (Harry). Hence, ‘the chill as he soared upwards;he’
is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.309.(c) Sending messengers besides the country
The word ‘besides’ must be replaced with ‘beyond’ to refer to
something that is on the other side or further away. Hence,
'sending messengers beyond the country' is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.310.(b) No error
The given sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.311.(c) Leaders are self-direct,
‘Self-direct’ must be replaced with ‘self-directed’ as it is a past
participle adjective. They adjectives are commonly used to
describe emotions, physical states, or the condition of objects or
people. Hence, ‘Leaders are self-directed’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.312.(d) No error
The given sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.313.(b) High peak in the Alps, is the Mount Everest.
‘High’ must be replaced with ‘highest’ as we generally use article
‘the’ with a superlative degree (highest). Hence, ‘highest peak in
the Alps, is the Mount Everest’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.314.(c) Carbon stored on trees
In the given sentence, ‘on’ must be replaced with ‘in’ because
carbon is typically stored within the structure of trees, not on the
surface of trees. Hence, ‘carbon stored in trees’ is the most
appropriate answer.
Sol.315.(a) He best understand that
Use of the superlative degree adverb ‘best’ is incorrect here. The
adverb ‘better’ is the comparative degree of ‘well’ and is used to
give advice or suggestions on what is considered a more
suitable action. ‘Better + V1’ is the correct grammatical structure.
Hence, ‘He better understand that’ is the most appropriate
answer.
Sol.316.(b) No error
The given sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.317.(d) Even the most wise don’t
‘The most wise’ must be replaced with ‘the wisest’ as the correct
superlative degree of the adjective ‘wise’ is ‘wisest’. Hence, “Even
the wisest don’t” is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.318.(c) No error
The given sentence is grammatically correct.
Sol.319.(d) The baby’s faces are expressionless and
(Baby’s) must be replaced with (babies) as we are referring to
the faces of multiple babies. Hence, ‘the babies’ faces are
expressionless and’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.320.(a) been reported missing from Friday night.
‘From’ must be replaced with ‘since’ as ‘Since’ is used to denote
a point of time and for depicting an activity that is happening
from a long time like since time immemorial/since ancient
times.
Sol.321.(a) and me works on my short.
The pronoun ‘me’ must be replaced with ‘I’ as we need to use the
subjective case of the pronoun. Also, the verb ‘work’ must be
used to agree with the plural subject ‘my caddie, Greg, and I’.
Hence, ‘and I work on my short’ is the most appropriate answer.
Sol.322.(d) about what happens that night.
The verb 'happens’ must be replaced with ‘happened’ as the
given sentence is in past tense. Hence, ‘about what happened
that night’ is the most appropriate answer.
