Solutions:
S1. Ans. (a)
Sol. Add ‘that’ after ‘I told her’ because a sentence is connected to the other sentence with the help of a conjunction.
S2. Ans. (c)
Sol. Change ‘will return’ into ‘have returned’. If the 2nd action takes place after the 1st action has already finished, the 1st action will be in present perfect tense.
S3. Ans. (b)
Sol. Change ‘I would not allow’ into ‘I would not have allowed’. The sentence fits in the formula given below “Had + Sub. + V3 , S + would + have + V3”
S4. Ans. (e)
Sol. No error. Here ‘but for’ means ‘without’
S5. Ans. (a)
Sol. Change ‘If the Principal will make’ into ‘If the Principal makes’. ‘Will’ is not used in the ‘If clause’.
S6. Ans. (a)
Sol. Change ‘was’ into ‘were’. ‘Was’ is not used in imaginary position
S7. Ans. (c)
Sol. Change ‘will’ to ‘would’.
S8. Ans. (b)
Sol. Change ‘can’ into ‘could’. The sentence is in past.
S9. Ans. (a)
Sol. Remove ‘will’.
