The correct answer is 'only one seconds to generate'.
Key Points

• In the sentence, "only one seconds" contains an error because of a disagreement in number.
• "One" is a singular number, so it should be followed by the singular form of the noun, which is "second."
• When indicating a singular unit of time, it's important to use the singular form ("second" in this case).
• The corrected sentence ensures that the number ("one") aligns with the singular form of the noun ("second").

The error is in segment "If she were to comes."

The correct answer is 'whether'.

Key Points

• The sentence expresses uncertainty about the speaker's ability to make it to the party on Saturday.
• 'Whether' is used to introduce an indirect question that expresses uncertainty or doubt.
• 'If' is used to introduce a conditional clause that expresses a condition or a hypothetical situation.
• 'This' is a demonstrative pronoun that is used to refer to something specific.

Therefore, the correct answer is ‘Option 2’.

Correct Sentence: "I'm not sure whether I'll be able to make it to the party on Saturday."

Additional Information

• The option 'if' is incorrect because it is used to introduce a conditional clause, which is not suitable in this context.
• The option 'this' is incorrect because it is a demonstrative pronoun that is used to refer to something specific, which is not suitable in this context.
• The option 'No improvement' is incorrect because the sentence is grammatically incorrect with 'if' or 'this'.

• The phrase "A large number of people is expected to attend" should use 'are' instead of 'is'.
• In this context, the construction "A large number of" should be followed by a plural verb, 'are', not the singular verb, 'is'.
• The noun 'people' is plural and thus requires the verb 'are expected'.
• Therefore, the correct sentence is: "A large number of people are expected to attend."

• 'is expected to be': This option is incorrect because 'is' does not agree with the plural noun 'people'.
• 'are expecting to be': This option changes the meaning of the sentence from a passive voice to an active voice, which is not the intent.
• 'No improvement': This option is not suitable because the original sentence does not use the correct verb agreement for 'A large number of people'.

The correct answer is "over".

Key Points

• The most appropriate preposition to fill in the blank in the sentence is "over."
• In English, the verb 'rule' is often followed by 'over' when referring to someone having authority over a specific geographical location, such as a kingdom, a state, a country, etc.

Therefore, the correct answer is "option 2".

Additional Information

Key Points

• Phrasal verbs are two or more words that together act as a completely new word, with a meaning separate from the original words.
  • For example, "Dress up" means to wear nice clothes or put forth in the best light.
• Now, in the given sentence the correct phrasal verb to use is "check out."

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

The correct answer is Genesis.

Therefore, the correct answer is: 'Genesis'.

  • Coda: Coda is a musical term referring to the concluding section of a piece (संगति)
  • Quietus: Quietus means a state of rest or finality, typically in reference to death (निर्वाण)

The correct answer is: They have

Key Points

• In the sentence, "take" is the main verb, and it needs to be in the present tense since the action "taking an hour's walk" is a habitual action that happens regularly, not a completed action in the past.
• "They have" indicates the present perfect tense, which is used for actions that started in the past and continue to the present or have just been completed.
• "They always take an hour's walk before breakfast" is the correct sentence.
• Here, "take" is the present tense verb that agrees with the subject "they" and accurately describes the ongoing habit of taking a walk before breakfast.
• The adverb "always" further clarifies the sentence by emphasizing that the action of taking a walk happens habitually, not just in the present.
• The present tense is often used for habitual actions, especially when they are part of a daily routine.

Thus, option 4 is the correct answer.

The correct answer is "play flute".

Key Points

• Use of articles (a, an, and the) is an important aspect of English grammar. They are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific.
• The use of the definite article 'the' is required when referring to musical instruments in contexts like this.
• So, when you are talking about playing a musical instrument, you should say 'play the guitar', 'play the violin', 'play the piano', etc.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4"

Corrected sentence: He is able to play the flute.

The correct answer is 'in favour to him'.

Key Points

• The error lies in the part 'in favour to him'.
• We need to replace it with "in favour of".
• The phrase "in favour of" is a standard English prepositional phrase.
• It is used to indicate support or approval for someone or something.
  • Example - The jury voted in favour of the defendant, illustrating their belief in his innocence.
• In this case, the given sentence is trying to express that his friends voted in support of him.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Correct Sentence - He was happy because his friends voted in favour of him.

The correct answer is 'No substitution required'.
Key Points

• The given sentence is in the present perfect tense.
• The phrase "has been called" correctly indicates that the meeting is scheduled for a specific time in the future.
• The subject "A meeting of the union cabinet" is singular, so "has" is the appropriate auxiliary verb.
• There is no grammatical error in the given sentence segment.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.
Correct sentence: A meeting of the union cabinet has been called at 11 am on Wednesday.
Additional Information

• Option 1: has being called - "Has being called" is incorrect because "being" is used with continuous tenses, not perfect tenses.
• Option 2: have been called - "Have been called" is incorrect because the subject "A meeting of the union cabinet" is singular, requiring the singular form "has."
• Option 3: had being called - "Had being called" is incorrect because it combines past perfect tense "had" with "being," which is incorrect. The correct form should be "had been called" for past perfect tense, but it doesn't fit the context of the sentence.

The correct answer is 'taller'.

Key Points

• The error in the sentence is the incorrect use of the double comparative "more taller," which is grammatically wrong.
• When we're comparing two things, we use the comparative form of the adjective. For the adjective tall, the comparative form is 'taller', not 'more taller'.
• Correct sentence: "He is taller than his brother."

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

Additional Information

• Option 1 ‘more high' is incorrect. 'Tall' is the correct adjective to use when referring to height, and 'high' is not usually used to refer to an individual's height.
• Option 3 ‘much taller' could be correct depending on the context, but it changes the degree of comparison made in the original sentence. 'Much taller' suggests a larger difference in height than the simple comparison suggested by 'taller'.

The correct answer is- 'Weakness.' Key Points

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• According to the “Subject-Verb Agreement Rule”, a singular subject always takes a singular verb and a plural subject always takes a plural verb.
• In the given sentence, ‘Vincent Jonson’ is a singular subject that will take ‘is’ as a singular verb.
• Hence, ‘is going to lead’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct Sentence: Vincent Jonson, a musician, is going to lead an 80-man naval band in the Republic Day Parade this year.
Hinglish

• दिया गया वाक्य व्याकरण की दृष्टि से गलत है।
• "Subject-Verb Agreement Rule" के अनुसार, एक singular subject हमेशा singular verb लेता है और एक plural subject हमेशा एक plural verb लेता है।
• दिए गए वाक्य में, 'Vincent Jonson' एक singular subject है जो 'is' को singular verb के रूप में लेगा।
• इसलिए, 'is going to lead' सबसे उपयुक्त उत्तर है।

The erroneous part is 'Seldom has the discoveries'.
Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'Seldom have the discoveries' should be used instead of 'Seldom has the discoveries'.
• The given sentence is an example of inversion.
• When the helping verb is used before the subject it is called inversion.
• In the given sentence the verb 'has' should be according to the main subject that is 'the discoveries'.
• 'The discoveries' is plural. Hence, 'have' should be used instead of 'has'.

Correct Sentence: Seldom have the discoveries of the world's greatest discoverers, like Copernicus or Galileo, been forgotten.
Hinglish

• दिया गया वाक्य व्याकरण की दृष्टि से गलत है।
• यहां, 'Seldom has the discoveries के बजाय 'Seldom have the discoveries' का इस्तेमाल किया जाना चाहिए।
• दिया गया वाक्य inversion का उदाहरण है।
• जब subject के पहले helping verb का प्रयोग किया जाता है तो उसे inversion कहते हैं।
• दिए गए वाक्य में क्रिया 'has' main subject के अनुसार होनी चाहिए जो कि 'the discoveries' है।
• 'The discoveries' बहुवचन है। इसलिए 'has' के स्थान पर 'have' का प्रयोग करना चाहिए।

The correct answer is 'have lower the value of land'.
Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'has lowered'' should be used instead of 'have lower'.
• As per the general rule, a singular subject takes a singular verb, whereas a plural subject takes a plural verb.
  ​​​​​​​​Example:
  • He has plenty of money in the bank.
• In this question, the subject is 'intrusion', which is a singular subject. (not 'companies' as it is the object of the preposition 'of').
• Hence, the verb that must agree with it must also be singular. Hence, 'have' must be replaced with 'has'.
• Also, the third form of the verb i.e. lowered should be used in the present perfect tense.
• ​​Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct answer is Option 4.

Correct Sentence: The slow intrusion of the companies in the nearby areas has lowered the value of land.

• The original sentence effectively communicates the idea that village libraries play a significant role in combating rural isolation through access to information.
• The underlined part, “providing,” clearly conveys the action of village libraries offering or making information accessible to people, which directly addresses the issue of rural isolation.
• "With rendering" changes the tone and might make the sentence less direct without adding clarity or improving the meaning.
• "By serving" is close in meaning to "providing," but "providing" is more specific to the act of making information available, whereas "serving" could imply a broader range of services.
• "With depleting" changes the meaning entirely and introduces a concept (depletion) not relevant to the sentence's intention.

• With rendering: This could imply assistance in a more general sense, but it does not capture the specificity of “providing access to information” as well as the original.
• By serving: While also correct, does not improve the sentence as “providing” is already an optimal choice for the context.
• With depleting: This option introduces the idea of reduction or exhaustion, which is completely unrelated to the sentence's context and message.

• The sentence states that we are not supposed to tell anyone about our mission.
• The word "nobody" is a pronoun that means "not anybody".
• In this context, "anyone" is the correct word to use, as it means "any person at all".

​Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 2'.

• Option 1) "not one" is incorrect because it means "no one at all", which is not the intended meaning in this context.
• Option 3) "none" is incorrect because it means "not any", which is not the intended meaning in this context.
• Option 4) "No improvement" is incorrect because there is an error in the sentence.

The correct answer is 'A gang of prisoners'.

Key Points

• A gang of prisoners is an inmate organization that operates within a prison system.
  • For example: He was an intelligent ten-year-old who had run away from home and fallen in with a gang of prisoners.

• A congregation of convicts means an assembly of people who found themselves guilty of a crime and are sentenced by a court.
