 Pinnacle  Spot the Error 
 Sol.457.(a) to people who are closed-minded 
 There  is  a  prepositional  error  in  the  given  sentence.  The 
 preposition  ‘to’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘with’  because  we 
 generally  use  the  preposition  ‘with’  with  the  verb  ‘interact’. 
 Hence,  ‘interact  with  people  who  are  closed-minded’  is  the  most 
 appropriate answer. 
 Sol.458.(d) No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.459.(d) my research rely at phone calls 
 We  generally  use  the  preposition  ‘on’  after  the  verb  ‘rely’  and  not 
 ‘at’.  Hence,  ‘my  research  rely  on  phone  calls’  is  the  most 
 appropriate answer. 
 Sol.460.(c) a spectacle 
 Some  things  are  always  written  in  pairs  such  as  a  pair  of 
 binoculars,  a  pair  of  scissors,  a  pair  of  spectacles,  etc.  Similarly, 
 the  given  sentence  talks  about  wearing  spectacles.  Hence,  ‘a 
 pair of spectacles’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.461.(c)  a lion 
 We  generally  use  apostrophe(‘s)  to  show  possession  means 
 something  belonging  to  someone.  Similarly,  the  given  sentence 
 talks about a skull which belongs to a lion. Hence, ‘a lion’s’ is the 
 most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.462.(c)  when they come of contact 
 There  is  a  prepositional  error  in  the  given  sentence.  The 
 preposition  ‘of’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘in’.  Hence,  ‘when  they 
 come in contact’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.463.(c) including much strong 
 The  comparative  degree  adjective  when  we  do  a  comparison 
 between  two  things,  people,  etc.  Similarly  in  the  given  sentence, 
 ‘stronger’  will  be  the  comparative  degree  of  ‘strong’.  Hence, 
 ‘including stronger’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.464.(a) No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.465.(a) No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.466.(c) based at limit studies 
 There  is  a  prepositional  error  in  the  given  sentence.  The 
 preposition  ‘at’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘on’.  Hence,  ‘based  on 
 limited studies’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.467.(c)  We use the article ‘a’ before 
 the  words  starting  with  a  Consonant  (B,D,F,N,etc.)  for  example,  a 
 dirty  shirt,  a  neglected  department,  etc.  However,  the  article  ‘an’ 
 is  used  before  words  starting  with  a  Vowel  (A,E,I,O,U)  or  a  Vowel 
 Sound  for  example,  an  educated  person,  an  honest  policy,  etc. 
 Hence,  ‘in  a  major(starting  with  a  consonant)  economic  slump’ 
 is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.468.(a)  No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.469.(d)  No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.470.(d) standing at front of us 
 There  is  a  prepositional  error  in  the  given  sentence.  The 
 preposition  ‘at’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘in’.  Hence,  ‘standing  in 
 front of us’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.471.(a) that giving off 
 The  given  sentence  is  in  the  simple  present  tense  so  the  verb 
 must  be  used  in  the  simple  present  form(V 
 1 
 ).  Hence,  ‘gives(V 
 1 
 )’ 
 is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.472.(b) was reluctant to have their pictures take 
 “Have  +  V 
 3 
 (third  form  of  the  verb)”  is  the  correct  grammatical 
 structure  for  the  given  sentence.  Hence,  ‘was  reluctant  to  have 
 their pictures taken(V 
 3 
 )’ is the most appropriate  answer. 
 Sol.473.(d) more splendid church in Italy 
 ‘Superlative  degree  adjective’  denotes  the  form  of  an  adjective  or 
 adverb  that  expresses  the  highest  or  a  very  high  degree  of 
 quality  of  a  thing,  person,  etc.  For  example,  best,  worst,  greatest, 
 etc.  However,  we  always  place  the  de?nite  article  ‘the’  before  any 
 superlative  adjective.  Similarly,  in  the  given  sentence,  ‘most’  will 
 be  the  superlative  degree  adjective.  Hence,  ‘the  most  splendid 
 church in Italy’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.474.(a) No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.475.(d) His successful as a lawyer 
 We will replace the adjective(successful) with the noun(success) 
 to  grammatically  correct  the  given  sentence.  Hence,  ‘His 
 success as a lawyer’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.476.(b) internationals events at highly  standard 
 The  given  sentence  needs  an  adjective(high)  to  tell  a  quality 
 about  the  subject  and  not  an  adverb(highly).  Moreover, 
 ‘internationals’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘international’.  Hence, 
 ‘international  events  of  high  standards’  is  the  most  appropriate 
 answer. 
 Sol.477.(b) Soon or later 
 We  must  use  the  same  degree  of  adjective  before  and  after  the 
 conjunction  ‘or’.  Similarly,  a  comparative  degree  adjective(later) 
 is  used  after  the  conjunction  ‘or’  in  the  given  sentence,  so  the 
 adjective  to  be  used  before  it  must  be  in  the  comparative 
 degree(sooner).  Hence,  ‘sooner  or  later’  is  the  most  appropriate 
 answer.

 Sol.474.(a) No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.475.(d) His successful as a lawyer 
 We will replace the adjective(successful) with the noun(success) 
 to  grammatically  correct  the  given  sentence.  Hence,  ‘His 
 success as a lawyer’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.476.(b) internationals events at highly  standard 
 The  given  sentence  needs  an  adjective(high)  to  tell  a  quality 
 about  the  subject  and  not  an  adverb(highly).  Moreover, 
 ‘internationals’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘international’.  Hence, 
 ‘international  events  of  high  standards’  is  the  most  appropriate 
 answer. 
 Sol.477.(b) Soon or later 
 We  must  use  the  same  degree  of  adjective  before  and  after  the 
 conjunction  ‘or’.  Similarly,  a  comparative  degree  adjective(later) 
 is  used  after  the  conjunction  ‘or’  in  the  given  sentence,  so  the 
 adjective  to  be  used  before  it  must  be  in  the  comparative 
 degree(sooner).  Hence,  ‘sooner  or  later’  is  the  most  appropriate 
 answer.

 Solutions :- 
 Sol.478.(a) very sweet 
 The given sentence needs an adverb to modify the verb(sings) 
 and not an adjective(sweet). Hence, ‘Rahul sings very sweetly’ is 
 the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.479.(b) slept themselves peacefully 
 The  use  of  the  re?exive  pronoun  ‘themselves’  is  incorrect 
 according  to  the  grammatical  context  of  the  given  sentence  so  it 
 must  be  removed.  Hence,  ‘slept  peacefully’  is  the  most 
 appropriate answer. 
 Sol.480.(c) ?owed besides 
 ‘Besides’ means in addition to something & ‘Beside’ means next 
 to  something.  Similarly,  the  given  sentence  states  that  the  river 
 ?owed  next  to  the  hillock  in  our  village.  Hence,  ‘?owed  beside’  is 
 the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.481.(d) He has been 
 “  By  the  time  +  V 
 2 
 (  second  form  of  the  verb)  ,  Had  +  V 
 3 
 (  third  form 
 of  the  verb)  ”  is  grammatically  the  correct  structure  for  the  given 
 sentence.  Hence,  ‘He  had  been  excused(V 
 3 
 )’  is  the  most 
 appropriate answer. 
 Sol.482.(c) the football 
 The  de?nite  article  'the'  is  not  used  before  some  words(nouns) 
 like  Jail,  prison,  school,  football,  cricket,  etc.  because  these 
 nouns  are  non-speci?c  in  the  general  sense.  Hence,  ‘player  of 
 football’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.483.(c) he travels by foot 
 There  is  a  prepositional  error  in  the  given  sentence.  The 
 preposition  ‘by’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘on’  because  whenever  we 
 go  somewhere  using  our  foot  we  use  the  preposition  ‘on’  before 
 ‘foot’. Hence, ‘he travels on foot’ is the most appropriate answer.

 (d)  He  saw  us  come  ,  and  unaware  that  we  had  learned  of  his 
 treachery, greets us with a Smile. (Incorrect Verb) 
 Sol.487.(a) to an environment 
 The  ‘environment’  mentioned  in  the  given  sentence  is  speci?c 
 and  we  generally  use  the  de?nite  article  ‘the’  before  any  speci?c 
 or particular noun. Hence, ‘to the environment’ is the 
 most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.488.(d)  little  did  him  know  that  the  results  will  come  out 
 worse than expected 
 We  will  replace  the  pronoun  ‘him’  with  the  correct  pronoun  ‘he’ 
 after  the  verb  ‘did’  in  the  given  sentence.  Hence,  ‘little  did  he 
 know  that  the  results  will  come  out  worse  than  expected’  is  the 
 most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.489.(b) that the bridge would constructed 
 “Would  be  +  V 
 3 
 (third  form  of  the  verb)”  is  the  correct 
 grammatical  structure  for  the  given  sentence.  Hence,  ‘the  bridge 
 would be constructed(V 
 3 
 )’ is the most appropriate  answer. 
 Sol.490.(d)  As  a  rule,  single  sentences  should  not  be  written  or

 Pinnacle  Spot the Error 
 Sol.457.(a) to people who are closed-minded 
 There  is  a  prepositional  error  in  the  given  sentence.  The 
 preposition  ‘to’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘with’  because  we 
 generally  use  the  preposition  ‘with’  with  the  verb  ‘interact’. 
 Hence,  ‘interact  with  people  who  are  closed-minded’  is  the  most 
 appropriate answer. 
 Sol.458.(d) No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.459.(d) my research rely at phone calls 
 We  generally  use  the  preposition  ‘on’  after  the  verb  ‘rely’  and  not 
 ‘at’.  Hence,  ‘my  research  rely  on  phone  calls’  is  the  most 
 appropriate answer. 
 Sol.460.(c) a spectacle 
 Some  things  are  always  written  in  pairs  such  as  a  pair  of 
 binoculars,  a  pair  of  scissors,  a  pair  of  spectacles,  etc.  Similarly, 
 the  given  sentence  talks  about  wearing  spectacles.  Hence,  ‘a 
 pair of spectacles’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.461.(c)  a lion 
 We  generally  use  apostrophe(‘s)  to  show  possession  means 
 something  belonging  to  someone.  Similarly,  the  given  sentence 
 talks about a skull which belongs to a lion. Hence, ‘a lion’s’ is the 
 most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.462.(c)  when they come of contact 
 There  is  a  prepositional  error  in  the  given  sentence.  The 
 preposition  ‘of’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘in’.  Hence,  ‘when  they 
 come in contact’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.463.(c) including much strong 
 The  comparative  degree  adjective  when  we  do  a  comparison 
 between  two  things,  people,  etc.  Similarly  in  the  given  sentence, 
 ‘stronger’  will  be  the  comparative  degree  of  ‘strong’.  Hence, 
 ‘including stronger’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.464.(a) No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.465.(a) No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.466.(c) based at limit studies 
 There  is  a  prepositional  error  in  the  given  sentence.  The 
 preposition  ‘at’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘on’.  Hence,  ‘based  on 
 limited studies’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.467.(c)  We use the article ‘a’ before 
 the  words  starting  with  a  Consonant  (B,D,F,N,etc.)  for  example,  a 
 dirty  shirt,  a  neglected  department,  etc.  However,  the  article  ‘an’ 
 is  used  before  words  starting  with  a  Vowel  (A,E,I,O,U)  or  a  Vowel 
 Sound  for  example,  an  educated  person,  an  honest  policy,  etc. 
 Hence,  ‘in  a  major(starting  with  a  consonant)  economic  slump’ 
 is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.468.(a)  No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.469.(d)  No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.470.(d) standing at front of us 
 There  is  a  prepositional  error  in  the  given  sentence.  The 
 preposition  ‘at’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘in’.  Hence,  ‘standing  in 
 front of us’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.471.(a) that giving off 
 The  given  sentence  is  in  the  simple  present  tense  so  the  verb 
 must  be  used  in  the  simple  present  form(V 
 1 
 ).  Hence,  ‘gives(V 
 1 
 )’ 
 is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.472.(b) was reluctant to have their pictures take 
 “Have  +  V 
 3 
 (third  form  of  the  verb)”  is  the  correct  grammatical 
 structure  for  the  given  sentence.  Hence,  ‘was  reluctant  to  have 
 their pictures taken(V 
 3 
 )’ is the most appropriate  answer. 
 Sol.473.(d) more splendid church in Italy 
 ‘Superlative  degree  adjective’  denotes  the  form  of  an  adjective  or 
 adverb  that  expresses  the  highest  or  a  very  high  degree  of 
 quality  of  a  thing,  person,  etc.  For  example,  best,  worst,  greatest, 
 etc.  However,  we  always  place  the  de?nite  article  ‘the’  before  any 
 superlative  adjective.  Similarly,  in  the  given  sentence,  ‘most’  will 
 be  the  superlative  degree  adjective.  Hence,  ‘the  most  splendid 
 church in Italy’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.474.(a) No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.475.(d) His successful as a lawyer 
 We will replace the adjective(successful) with the noun(success) 
 to  grammatically  correct  the  given  sentence.  Hence,  ‘His 
 success as a lawyer’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.476.(b) internationals events at highly  standard 
 The  given  sentence  needs  an  adjective(high)  to  tell  a  quality 
 about  the  subject  and  not  an  adverb(highly).  Moreover, 
 ‘internationals’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘international’.  Hence, 
 ‘international  events  of  high  standards’  is  the  most  appropriate 
 answer. 
 Sol.477.(b) Soon or later 
 We  must  use  the  same  degree  of  adjective  before  and  after  the 
 conjunction  ‘or’.  Similarly,  a  comparative  degree  adjective(later) 
 is  used  after  the  conjunction  ‘or’  in  the  given  sentence,  so  the 
 adjective  to  be  used  before  it  must  be  in  the  comparative 
 degree(sooner).  Hence,  ‘sooner  or  later’  is  the  most  appropriate 
 answer.

 Solutions :- 
 Sol.478.(a) very sweet 
 The given sentence needs an adverb to modify the verb(sings) 
 and not an adjective(sweet). Hence, ‘Rahul sings very sweetly’ is 
 the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.479.(b) slept themselves peacefully 
 The  use  of  the  re?exive  pronoun  ‘themselves’  is  incorrect 
 according  to  the  grammatical  context  of  the  given  sentence  so  it 
 must  be  removed.  Hence,  ‘slept  peacefully’  is  the  most 
 appropriate answer. 
 Sol.480.(c) ?owed besides 
 ‘Besides’ means in addition to something & ‘Beside’ means next 
 to  something.  Similarly,  the  given  sentence  states  that  the  river 
 ?owed  next  to  the  hillock  in  our  village.  Hence,  ‘?owed  beside’  is 
 the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.481.(d) He has been 
 “  By  the  time  +  V 
 2 
 (  second  form  of  the  verb)  ,  Had  +  V 
 3 
 (  third  form 
 of  the  verb)  ”  is  grammatically  the  correct  structure  for  the  given 
 sentence.  Hence,  ‘He  had  been  excused(V 
 3 
 )’  is  the  most 
 appropriate answer. 
 Sol.482.(c) the football 
 The  de?nite  article  'the'  is  not  used  before  some  words(nouns) 
 like  Jail,  prison,  school,  football,  cricket,  etc.  because  these 
 nouns  are  non-speci?c  in  the  general  sense.  Hence,  ‘player  of 
 football’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.483.(c) he travels by foot 
 There  is  a  prepositional  error  in  the  given  sentence.  The 
 preposition  ‘by’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘on’  because  whenever  we 
 go  somewhere  using  our  foot  we  use  the  preposition  ‘on’  before 
 ‘foot’. Hence, ‘he travels on foot’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.484.(a) Is Savita joining us for lunch today? (Correct) 
 (b)  Savita  is  joined  us  for  lunch  today?  (Incorrect  Sentence 
 Structure) 
 (c)  Savita  joining  us  for  lunch  today?  (Incorrect  Sentence 
 Structure) 
 (d)  Are  Savita joining us for lunch today? (Incorrect  Verb) 
 Sol.485.(c)  In  its  August  1992  issue,  the  highly  respected 
 British  Journal  of  Addiction  described  three  unusual  cases  of 
 carrot  dependence. (Correct) 
 (a)  In  its  August  1992  issue,  the  highly  respected  British  Journal 
 of  Addiction  was  describing  three  unusual  cases  of  carrot 
 dependence. (Incorrect Tense) 
 (b)  In  its  August  1992  issue,  the  highly  respected  British  Journal 
 of  Addiction  describing  three  unusual  cases  of  carrot 
 dependence. (Incorrect Verb) 
 (d)  In  its  August  1992  issue,  the  highly  respeced  British  Journal 
 of  Addiction  has  been  described  three  British  Journal  of 
 Addiction has been described three. (Incorrect Tense) 
 Sol.486.(b) He saw us coming, and unaware that we had 
 learned of his treachery, greeted us with a smile. (Correct) 
 (a)  He  saw  us  coming,  and  unaware  that  we  learned  of  his 
 treachery, greeted us with a Smile. (Incorrect Tense) 
 (c)  He  saw  us  coming,  and  unaware  that  we  were  learning  of  his 
 treachery, greeted us with a smile. (Incorrect Tense) 
 (d)  He  saw  us  come  ,  and  unaware  that  we  had  learned  of  his 
 treachery, greets us with a Smile. (Incorrect Verb) 
 Sol.487.(a) to an environment 
 The  ‘environment’  mentioned  in  the  given  sentence  is  speci?c 
 and  we  generally  use  the  de?nite  article  ‘the’  before  any  speci?c 
 or particular noun. Hence, ‘to the environment’ is the 
 most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.488.(d)  little  did  him  know  that  the  results  will  come  out 
 worse than expected 
 We  will  replace  the  pronoun  ‘him’  with  the  correct  pronoun  ‘he’ 
 after  the  verb  ‘did’  in  the  given  sentence.  Hence,  ‘little  did  he 
 know  that  the  results  will  come  out  worse  than  expected’  is  the 
 most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.489.(b) that the bridge would constructed 
 “Would  be  +  V 
 3 
 (third  form  of  the  verb)”  is  the  correct 
 grammatical  structure  for  the  given  sentence.  Hence,  ‘the  bridge 
 would be constructed(V 
 3 
 )’ is the most appropriate  answer. 
 Sol.490.(d)  As  a  rule,  single  sentences  should  not  be  written  or 
 printed as paragraphs. (Correct) 
 (a)  As  a  rule,  single  sentences  should  not  be  wrote  or  printed  as

 We  always  put  the  second  person  before  the  ?rst  person  in  a 
 positive  sentence  according  to  the  order  of  pronouns.  Similarly, 
 in  the  given  sentence,  narrator(I)  is  the  ?rst  person  &  his  ‘friends’

 Pinnacle  Spot the Error 
 is  the  second  person.  Hence,  ‘My  friends  &  I’  is  the  most 
 appropriate answer. 
 Sol.492.(d)  He  wished  he  had  more  resources  to  support  the 
 poor. 
 The  given  sentence  is  in  the  simple  past  tense  so  the  verb  must 
 be  used  in  the  past  form(V 
 2 
 ).  However,  the  past  form  of  ‘has’  is 
 ‘had’. Hence, ‘he wished he had’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.493.(d)  as soon as them noticed 
 “As  soon  as  them  noticed”  will  be  replaced  by  “as  soon  as  they 
 noticed”.  Use  of  objective  pronoun  is  incorrect  here  and  a 
 nominative pronoun will be used. 
 Sol.494.(a) is believing 
 The  sentence  is  in  the  present  inde?nite  tense.  The  word  ‘says’ 
 has  been  used  at  the  end.  So  ‘believes’  will  be  used.  The  correct 
 sentence  will  be-  The  mob  believes  every  word  the  leader  says. 
 Hence, ‘believes’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.495.(c) Investing on real estate 
 The  preposition  “on”  will  be  replaced  by  “in”.  Invest  in  is  a  phrasal 
 verb  which  means  to  put  money,  effort,  time,  etc.  into  something 
 to  make  a  pro?t  or  get  an  advantage.  Hence,  ‘investing  in  real 
 estate’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.496.(d) When the villagers put up a ?rm resistance to the 
 fearsome  bandit  with  all  their  might,  he  ultimately  ?ed  the 
 spot.(Correct) 
 (a)  When  the  villagers  put  up  a  ?rm  resistance  to  the  fearsome 
 bandit  with  all  their  might,  he  ultimately  ?ew  the 
 spot.(Incorrect verb used) 
 (b)  When  the  villagers  putted  up  a  ?rm  resistance  to  the 
 fearsome  bandit  with  all  their  might,  he  ultimately  ?eed  the

 (c)  When  the  villagers  put  up  a  ?rm  resistance  to  the  fearsome 
 bandit  with  all  their  might,  he  ultimately  ?own  the 
 spot.(Incorrect verb used) 
 Sol.497.(d) The General have ordered 
 The  general  is  singular  so  singular  verb  has  will  be  used.  Have  is 
 incorrect.  The  correct  sentence  will  be-  The  General  has  ordered 
 that the troops should move immediately. 
 Sol.498.(d)  As  she  kept  walking  towards  me,  my  heart  skipped 
 a beat. (Correct) 
 (a)  As  she  kept  walking  within  me,  my  heart  skipped  a  beat.

 Pinnacle  Spot the Error 
 Sol.457.(a) to people who are closed-minded 
 There  is  a  prepositional  error  in  the  given  sentence.  The 
 preposition  ‘to’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘with’  because  we 
 generally  use  the  preposition  ‘with’  with  the  verb  ‘interact’. 
 Hence,  ‘interact  with  people  who  are  closed-minded’  is  the  most 
 appropriate answer. 
 Sol.458.(d) No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.459.(d) my research rely at phone calls 
 We  generally  use  the  preposition  ‘on’  after  the  verb  ‘rely’  and  not 
 ‘at’.  Hence,  ‘my  research  rely  on  phone  calls’  is  the  most 
 appropriate answer. 
 Sol.460.(c) a spectacle 
 Some  things  are  always  written  in  pairs  such  as  a  pair  of 
 binoculars,  a  pair  of  scissors,  a  pair  of  spectacles,  etc.  Similarly, 
 the  given  sentence  talks  about  wearing  spectacles.  Hence,  ‘a 
 pair of spectacles’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.461.(c)  a lion 
 We  generally  use  apostrophe(‘s)  to  show  possession  means 
 something  belonging  to  someone.  Similarly,  the  given  sentence 
 talks about a skull which belongs to a lion. Hence, ‘a lion’s’ is the 
 most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.462.(c)  when they come of contact 
 There  is  a  prepositional  error  in  the  given  sentence.  The 
 preposition  ‘of’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘in’.  Hence,  ‘when  they 
 come in contact’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.463.(c) including much strong 
 The  comparative  degree  adjective  when  we  do  a  comparison 
 between  two  things,  people,  etc.  Similarly  in  the  given  sentence, 
 ‘stronger’  will  be  the  comparative  degree  of  ‘strong’.  Hence, 
 ‘including stronger’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.464.(a) No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.465.(a) No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.466.(c) based at limit studies 
 There  is  a  prepositional  error  in  the  given  sentence.  The 
 preposition  ‘at’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘on’.  Hence,  ‘based  on 
 limited studies’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.467.(c)  We use the article ‘a’ before 
 the  words  starting  with  a  Consonant  (B,D,F,N,etc.)  for  example,  a 
 dirty  shirt,  a  neglected  department,  etc.  However,  the  article  ‘an’ 
 is  used  before  words  starting  with  a  Vowel  (A,E,I,O,U)  or  a  Vowel 
 Sound  for  example,  an  educated  person,  an  honest  policy,  etc. 
 Hence,  ‘in  a  major(starting  with  a  consonant)  economic  slump’ 
 is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.468.(a)  No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.469.(d)  No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.470.(d) standing at front of us 
 There  is  a  prepositional  error  in  the  given  sentence.  The 
 preposition  ‘at’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘in’.  Hence,  ‘standing  in 
 front of us’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.471.(a) that giving off 
 The  given  sentence  is  in  the  simple  present  tense  so  the  verb 
 must  be  used  in  the  simple  present  form(V 
 1 
 ).  Hence,  ‘gives(V 
 1 
 )’ 
 is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.472.(b) was reluctant to have their pictures take 
 “Have  +  V 
 3 
 (third  form  of  the  verb)”  is  the  correct  grammatical 
 structure  for  the  given  sentence.  Hence,  ‘was  reluctant  to  have 
 their pictures taken(V 
 3 
 )’ is the most appropriate  answer. 
 Sol.473.(d) more splendid church in Italy 
 ‘Superlative  degree  adjective’  denotes  the  form  of  an  adjective  or 
 adverb  that  expresses  the  highest  or  a  very  high  degree  of 
 quality  of  a  thing,  person,  etc.  For  example,  best,  worst,  greatest, 
 etc.  However,  we  always  place  the  de?nite  article  ‘the’  before  any 
 superlative  adjective.  Similarly,  in  the  given  sentence,  ‘most’  will 
 be  the  superlative  degree  adjective.  Hence,  ‘the  most  splendid 
 church in Italy’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.474.(a) No error. 
 The given sentence is grammatically correct. 
 Sol.475.(d) His successful as a lawyer 
 We will replace the adjective(successful) with the noun(success) 
 to  grammatically  correct  the  given  sentence.  Hence,  ‘His 
 success as a lawyer’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.476.(b) internationals events at highly  standard 
 The  given  sentence  needs  an  adjective(high)  to  tell  a  quality 
 about  the  subject  and  not  an  adverb(highly).  Moreover, 
 ‘internationals’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘international’.  Hence, 
 ‘international  events  of  high  standards’  is  the  most  appropriate 
 answer. 
 Sol.477.(b) Soon or later 
 We  must  use  the  same  degree  of  adjective  before  and  after  the 
 conjunction  ‘or’.  Similarly,  a  comparative  degree  adjective(later) 
 is  used  after  the  conjunction  ‘or’  in  the  given  sentence,  so  the 
 adjective  to  be  used  before  it  must  be  in  the  comparative 
 degree(sooner).  Hence,  ‘sooner  or  later’  is  the  most  appropriate 
 answer.

 Solutions :- 
 Sol.478.(a) very sweet 
 The given sentence needs an adverb to modify the verb(sings) 
 and not an adjective(sweet). Hence, ‘Rahul sings very sweetly’ is 
 the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.479.(b) slept themselves peacefully 
 The  use  of  the  re?exive  pronoun  ‘themselves’  is  incorrect 
 according  to  the  grammatical  context  of  the  given  sentence  so  it 
 must  be  removed.  Hence,  ‘slept  peacefully’  is  the  most 
 appropriate answer. 
 Sol.480.(c) ?owed besides 
 ‘Besides’ means in addition to something & ‘Beside’ means next 
 to  something.  Similarly,  the  given  sentence  states  that  the  river 
 ?owed  next  to  the  hillock  in  our  village.  Hence,  ‘?owed  beside’  is 
 the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.481.(d) He has been 
 “  By  the  time  +  V 
 2 
 (  second  form  of  the  verb)  ,  Had  +  V 
 3 
 (  third  form 
 of  the  verb)  ”  is  grammatically  the  correct  structure  for  the  given 
 sentence.  Hence,  ‘He  had  been  excused(V 
 3 
 )’  is  the  most 
 appropriate answer. 
 Sol.482.(c) the football 
 The  de?nite  article  'the'  is  not  used  before  some  words(nouns) 
 like  Jail,  prison,  school,  football,  cricket,  etc.  because  these 
 nouns  are  non-speci?c  in  the  general  sense.  Hence,  ‘player  of 
 football’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.483.(c) he travels by foot 
 There  is  a  prepositional  error  in  the  given  sentence.  The 
 preposition  ‘by’  must  be  replaced  with  ‘on’  because  whenever  we 
 go  somewhere  using  our  foot  we  use  the  preposition  ‘on’  before 
 ‘foot’. Hence, ‘he travels on foot’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.484.(a) Is Savita joining us for lunch today? (Correct) 
 (b)  Savita  is  joined  us  for  lunch  today?  (Incorrect  Sentence 
 Structure) 
 (c)  Savita  joining  us  for  lunch  today?  (Incorrect  Sentence 
 Structure) 
 (d)  Are  Savita joining us for lunch today? (Incorrect  Verb) 
 Sol.485.(c)  In  its  August  1992  issue,  the  highly  respected 
 British  Journal  of  Addiction  described  three  unusual  cases  of 
 carrot  dependence. (Correct) 
 (a)  In  its  August  1992  issue,  the  highly  respected  British  Journal 
 of  Addiction  was  describing  three  unusual  cases  of  carrot 
 dependence. (Incorrect Tense) 
 (b)  In  its  August  1992  issue,  the  highly  respected  British  Journal 
 of  Addiction  describing  three  unusual  cases  of  carrot

 (d)  In  its  August  1992  issue,  the  highly  respeced  British  Journal 
 of  Addiction  has  been  described  three  British  Journal  of 
 Addiction has been described three. (Incorrect Tense) 
 Sol.486.(b) He saw us coming, and unaware that we had 
 learned of his treachery, greeted us with a smile. (Correct) 
 (a)  He  saw  us  coming,  and  unaware  that  we  learned  of  his 
 treachery, greeted us with a Smile. (Incorrect Tense) 
 (c)  He  saw  us  coming,  and  unaware  that  we  were  learning  of  his 
 treachery, greeted us with a smile. (Incorrect Tense) 
 (d)  He  saw  us  come  ,  and  unaware  that  we  had  learned  of  his 
 treachery, greets us with a Smile. (Incorrect Verb) 
 Sol.487.(a) to an environment 
 The  ‘environment’  mentioned  in  the  given  sentence  is  speci?c 
 and  we  generally  use  the  de?nite  article  ‘the’  before  any  speci?c 
 or particular noun. Hence, ‘to the environment’ is the 
 most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.488.(d)  little  did  him  know  that  the  results  will  come  out 
 worse than expected 
 We  will  replace  the  pronoun  ‘him’  with  the  correct  pronoun  ‘he’ 
 after  the  verb  ‘did’  in  the  given  sentence.  Hence,  ‘little  did  he 
 know  that  the  results  will  come  out  worse  than  expected’  is  the 
 most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.489.(b) that the bridge would constructed 
 “Would  be  +  V 
 3 
 (third  form  of  the  verb)”  is  the  correct 
 grammatical  structure  for  the  given  sentence.  Hence,  ‘the  bridge 
 would be constructed(V 
 3 
 )’ is the most appropriate  answer. 
 Sol.490.(d)  As  a  rule,  single  sentences  should  not  be  written  or 
 printed as paragraphs. (Correct) 
 (a)  As  a  rule,  single  sentences  should  not  be  wrote  or  printed  as

 paragraphs. (Incorrect Verb) 
 (c)  As  a  rule,  single  sentences  shall  not  have  written  or  printed 
 as paragraphs. (Incorrect Verb) 
 Sol.491.(d) Me and my friends 
 We  always  put  the  second  person  before  the  ?rst  person  in  a 
 positive  sentence  according  to  the  order  of  pronouns.  Similarly, 
 in  the  given  sentence,  narrator(I)  is  the  ?rst  person  &  his  ‘friends’

 Pinnacle  Spot the Error 
 is  the  second  person.  Hence,  ‘My  friends  &  I’  is  the  most 
 appropriate answer. 
 Sol.492.(d)  He  wished  he  had  more  resources  to  support  the 
 poor. 
 The  given  sentence  is  in  the  simple  past  tense  so  the  verb  must 
 be  used  in  the  past  form(V 
 2 
 ).  However,  the  past  form  of  ‘has’  is 
 ‘had’. Hence, ‘he wished he had’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.493.(d)  as soon as them noticed 
 “As  soon  as  them  noticed”  will  be  replaced  by  “as  soon  as  they 
 noticed”.  Use  of  objective  pronoun  is  incorrect  here  and  a 
 nominative pronoun will be used. 
 Sol.494.(a) is believing 
 The  sentence  is  in  the  present  inde?nite  tense.  The  word  ‘says’ 
 has  been  used  at  the  end.  So  ‘believes’  will  be  used.  The  correct 
 sentence  will  be-  The  mob  believes  every  word  the  leader  says. 
 Hence, ‘believes’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.495.(c) Investing on real estate 
 The  preposition  “on”  will  be  replaced  by  “in”.  Invest  in  is  a  phrasal 
 verb  which  means  to  put  money,  effort,  time,  etc.  into  something 
 to  make  a  pro?t  or  get  an  advantage.  Hence,  ‘investing  in  real 
 estate’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.496.(d) When the villagers put up a ?rm resistance to the 
 fearsome  bandit  with  all  their  might,  he  ultimately  ?ed  the 
 spot.(Correct) 
 (a)  When  the  villagers  put  up  a  ?rm  resistance  to  the  fearsome 
 bandit  with  all  their  might,  he  ultimately  ?ew  the

 (c)  When  the  villagers  put  up  a  ?rm  resistance  to  the  fearsome 
 bandit  with  all  their  might,  he  ultimately  ?own  the 
 spot.(Incorrect verb used) 
 Sol.497.(d) The General have ordered 
 The  general  is  singular  so  singular  verb  has  will  be  used.  Have  is 
 incorrect.  The  correct  sentence  will  be-  The  General  has  ordered 
 that the troops should move immediately. 
 Sol.498.(d)  As  she  kept  walking  towards  me,  my  heart  skipped 
 a beat. (Correct) 
 (a)  As  she  kept  walking  within  me,  my  heart  skipped  a  beat.

 Solutions :- 
 Sol.501.(a) the very well-directed ?lm 
 The  ‘?lm’  mentioned  in  the  given  sentence  is  not  speci?c  and  we 
 generally  use  the  inde?nite  article  ‘a’  before  a  non-speci?c  noun. 
 Hence, ‘a very well directed’ is the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.502.(a) this year it re?ect badly 
 The  given  sentence  is  a  conditional  sentence  which  has  a 
 futuristic  sense  so  the  verb  used  must  be  in  the  future 
 tense(will).  Hence,  ‘it  will  re?ect  badly’  is  the  most  appropriate 
 answer. 
 Sol.503.(b) during he was 
 ‘When’  is  used  for  talking  about  the  time  at  which  something 
 happens  or  happened.  The  given  sentence  talks  about  the  time 
 at  which  Jim  was  on  holiday.  Hence,  ‘when  he  was’  is  the  most 
 appropriate answer. 
 Sol.504.(d) recall to meet 
 The  given  sentence  will  have  a  bare  in?nitive  (without  the 
 preposition  ‘to’).  Hence,  ‘recall  meeting’  is  the  most  appropriate 
 answer. 
 Sol.505.(d) having the trouble 
 ‘Taking  the  trouble’  is  grammatically  the  correct  phrase  for  the 
 given  sentence.  Hence,  ‘having’  will  be  replaced  with  ‘taking’  & 
 ‘taking the trouble’ becomes the most appropriate answer. 
 Sol.506.(b) too grave sin 
 We  will  put  the  inde?nite  article  ‘a’  before  ‘sin’  as  the  sin  is 
 not-speci?c.  Hence,  ‘too  grave  a  sin’  is  the  most  appropriate 
 answer. 
 Sol.507.(c) No error. 
 Sol.508.(b) No error. 
 Sol.509.(a) since six months 
 ‘For’  refers  to  a  speci?c  period  of  time  or  a  numerical  value  of 
 time,  for  example  for  2  years,  for  4  weeks,  for  3  days,  etc.
