Sol. The error is in the second part of the sentence as one of the important rules for a grammatically correct sentence structure says that when in a sentence Ordinal adjective such as first, second, third, last etc. and cardinal adjective such as one, two, three, four etc., are present together, then the cardinal adjective must follow the ordinal adjective. Eg. тАЬThe first five questions.тАЭ. However, the other parts of the sentence comprehend the grammatical syntax of the sentence and are correct and do not require any changes. Thus, option (a) becomes the most viable choice.
Sol. To correct the first and third part of the sentence, replace тАЬwould have they wantedтАЭ with тАЬHad they wantedтАЭ and тАЬhave been gone homeтАЭ with тАЬhave gone homeтАЭ respectively as to express an unfulfilled condition, desire, wish of past тАЬHad+subject+V3, Subject + would/ could/ might/ should + have + V3тАЭ syntax is used. The conditional perfect is formed using would have together with the past participle of the main verb. It refers to an impossible condition in the past and its probable result in the past. Other part of the sentence is grammatically correct and doesnтАЩt require any changes. Therefore, with the given rationale option (d) is the most viable choice.
Sol. All the three parts comprise either grammatical or contextual error in them. In the first part replace тАЬTo consider our own historyтАЭ with тАЬConsidering our own historyтАЭ to eliminate the contextual error. тАШto considerтАЩ means to think about (something or someone) carefully especially in order to make a choice or decision while тАШconsideringтАЩ can be used as a preposition or conjunction which means taking into consideration. In the second part of the sentence replace тАЬthanтАЭ with тАЬtoтАЭ as for the words like тАШpreferable, senior, junior, superior, inferior, posteriorтАЩ тАЬtoтАЭ is used. The word prefer itself means choosing one thing over another and as per grammatical usages, generally prefer is used when two nouns are referred Eg. I prefer tea to coffee. Moreover, in the third part of the sentence тАЬtoтАЭ should be replaced with тАЬtooтАЭ to make the sentence logical and meaningful. тАЬtoтАЭ as a preposition means approaching or reaching (a particular condition); while тАЬtooтАЭ is an adverb which means to a higher degree than is desirable, permissible, or possible; excessively. Hence, as all the three parts contain error in them option (d) becomes the most viable answer choice.
Sol. To make the syntax of the sentence grammatically correct replace тАЬYou will meet not onlyтАЭ with тАЬNot only will you meetтАЭ. тАЬNot onlyтАЭ should be used before тАЬmeetтАЭ and not after. As тАЬNot onlyтАжBut alsoтАЭ is used to connect two subjects, objects or verbs. It means that the words following both parts of this correlative conjunction (i.e., not only and but also) should belong to the same parts of speech. For example, if a verb follows not only, then a verb should also follow but also. The other parts of the sentence do not contain any error in them, therefore, option (a) becomes the most suitable answer choice.
Sol. The given sentence is both grammatically and contextually correct. The sentence is in simple present tense and the syntax followed is precise. Therefore, none of the parts requires any changes. Hence, option (e) becomes the most feasible answer choice.
Sol. There is an error in part (II) and (III) of the sentence.
Remove тАШaтАЩ before constant. After тАШKind ofтАЩ, тАШtype ofтАЩ, тАШsort ofтАЩ, тАШvariety ofтАЩ, тАШrank ofтАЩ, тАШpost ofтАЩ etc. we donтАЩt use an article before the noun.
However, for interrogative sentences we can use тАШa/anтАЩ.In part (III) since keep on is already used the sentence will be keep on moving and doing things.
Sol. The error is in only the part (II) of the sentence.
Use тАШthatтАЩ in place of whether as we use тАШthatтАЩ after тАШdoubtтАЩ and тАШdoubtfulтАЩ if the sentence is Affirmative тАШNegativeтАЩ or тАШInterrogativeтАЩ. If the sentence is Assertive Affirmative we use тАШifтАЩ and whether.
Sol. The error is in part (I) and (II) of the sentence.
In part (I) of the sentence the error is in the use of тАШofтАЩ. We will not use тАШofтАЩ after тАШcompriseтАЩ as comprise = consist of.
In part (II) The noun phrase тАШselect setтАЩ seems to be missing a determiner before it. Consider adding an article тАШaтАЩ before it.
Sol. The error is in part (I) and (III) of the sentence.
In part (I) remove тАШthanтАЩ and replace it with тАШtoтАЩ because when we use prefer to compare two nouns or gerunds then after тАШpreferтАЩ we use the preposition тАШtoтАЩ
In part (III) use тАШavoidsтАЩ in place of тАШavoidтАЩ as the subject тАШdietтАЩ is singular and therefore the verb must be singular.
Sol. There is no error in the given sentence.
Sol. The correct sequence of the sentence after the rearranging tem to form a coherent paragraph is EACDB. Hence, option (e) is the most suitable answer choice.
Sol. The correct sequence of the sentence after the rearranging them to form a coherent paragraph is EACDB. Hence, option (b) is the most suitable answer choice.
