If you run your own business, trying to organise your activities, finances, and personal contacts are some of the most difficult things you'll ever have to do.

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Sub-Verb and Pronoun - Question 3

The subject in this sentence is 'trying' (as trying to do this is one of the most difficult things one has to do), which is singular; hence, it would take a singular verb. This leaves us with two options - (2) and (3). But (2) involves unnecessary shift in pronoun from 'you' to 'one'; so option (3) is the best choice.

Test Level 3: Sub-Verb and Pronoun - Question 4

Directions: The sentence has four underlined words or phrases. The four underlined parts of the sentence are marked (A), (B), (C) and (D). Identify the one underlined word or phrase that must be changed in order for the sentence to be correct.
(A) One of the one who (B) placed it there (C) has returned; the (D) one called Pinto.

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Sub-Verb and Pronoun - Question 4

'One of the ones' is the correct usage. 'One of the' is always followed by a plural noun or pronoun.

It is (A) I (B) who (C) has saved the team from (D) another defeat.

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Sub-Verb and Pronoun - Question 5

Change `has` to `have` to correct the error of subject verb agreement, because `who` is a relative pronoun (representing `I` here).

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Sub-Verb and Pronoun - Question 6

Change `have` to `has`. When two or more singular nouns are joined by `and` and `the` definite article is used only before the first noun, they refer to the same person.

Peter just (A) heard (B) that he had (C) cleared the entrance exam. (D) This made him jump with joy.

Detailed Solution for Test Level 3: Sub-Verb and Pronoun - Question 9

(This news). It is not clear whether `this` refers to clearing the entrance exam or Peter hearing the news. Logically, the news probably made him happy. Turn the pronoun `this` into an adjective by adding the noun `news` to the sentence.
