Detailed Solution: Question 4

The sentence is in the past continuous tense (“playing” shows an action happening in the past).

Test: Error Correction & Omissions - Question 5

She adopted ______ one-eyed cat.

Detailed Solution: Question 5

The correct sentence is:
"She adopted a one-eyed cat."

Explanation:

  • The word "one-eyed" starts with the letter "o", but the pronunciation begins with a "w" consonant sound ("wun-eyed").

  • The rule for indefinite articles is based on sound, not spelling. Since "w" is a consonant sound, we use "a", not "an."

Examples for Comparison:

  • "a one-way street" (not "an one-way street")

  • "a unicorn" (starts with a "y" sound, so "a")

  • "a university" (same "y" sound)

Why not "an"?

  • "An" is only used before vowel sounds (e.g., "an hour," "an apple").

  • "One" is pronounced like "wun," so it takes "a."

Final Answer:

b) a
