Q. You must blend the (1) / flours and eggs and sugar (2) / together before you make cakes. (3) / No error (4) 

Detailed Solution for AFCAT Mock Test - 5 - Question 17

'Flour' means 'a powder obtained by grinding grain, typically wheat, and used to make bread, cakes, and pastry.' It is uncountable.

So there is no need to use it in the plural form. It should only be 'flour.' 

Correct Sentence: You must blend the flour and eggs and sugar together before you make cakes.

Hence the correct answer is option 2.

AFCAT Mock Test - 5 - Question 18

Detailed Solution for AFCAT Mock Test - 5 - Question 19

''It's'' is short for ''it is.'' Here we must not use 'it is.' Here we are talking about the exports and imports of a particular country. So it is showing 'belongingness.' This is exactly why we must use 'its.' It means 'belonging to it.'   

Correct Sentence: The country has to import most of its raw materials.

Hence the correct answer is option 3.
