Test Level 1: Preposition, Article and Conjunction - CAT MCQ

The erroneous part is 'There is a very little time'.

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'There is very little time' should be used instead of 'There is a very little time'.
• In the given sentence 'time' is an uncountable noun.
• In the given sentence 'very little time' means 'absolutely no time'.
• So the use of the indefinite article 'a' with it is grammatically incorrect. Hence, it should be removed.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.

Use definite article 'the' before Shakespeare, because the name is used here as a standard.

We use 'had better' plus the infinitive without 'to' to give advice about the present or future. So, the correct sentence would be 'You had better repeat them everyday in order to keep them in mind'.

We 'call upon' persons and call at places.

Though 'N' is a consonant, it begins with vowel sound 'Ei' and the letter sounds 'Enn'. So indefinite article 'an' should precede it.

Change 'fell for' to 'fell upon'. 'Fall upon' means 'to attack violently', while 'fall for' means 'to fall in love with'.

Corrects the use of phrasal verb (bring out) and use of definite article `the` before the adjective of superlative degree.

Corrects the error of definite article (the poor) and subject verb agreement (are).

`Common man` is a particular category and we always use a definite article before a specific category. So the usage should be `the common man`. Also the preposition `for` is inappropriate; it should be `to`. Option (3) corrects the error of definite article and preposition. Since, common man is a collective noun, preferred possessive pronoun should nave been `his`, but there is no option with singular possessive. Hence, this is the best option.

'Not only' should be followed by coordinating conjunction 'but also'. 'For their hides' should be followed by 'for pulling sleighs'.
