Solutions

S1. Ans. (d)
Sol. “It” will be used instead of “the same” because “the same” is always used as an adjective and there is always a noun after that. E.g. the same place OR the same coat.
Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S2. Ans. (b)
Sol. “sorts” will be used instead of “sort” because the used adjective is “these” before that and it will have noun in plural number. However, we can correct the sentence replacing ‘these’ with ‘this’ and ‘tasks’ with ‘task’ but then the verb ‘require’ is in plural number. Eventually, we will have to make the subject plural. Hence, option (b) is the right answer choice.

S3. Ans. (d)
Sol. ‘farther’ will be used instead of ‘further’. Though ‘Further’ also represents distance yet it is used in ‘in addition to/besides’ sense while ‘farther’ is used in distance meaning.
E.g I don’t want to discuss this topic any further.
His house is farther than mine.
Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S4. Ans. (c)
Sol. “Who” will be used instead of “whom” because the Relative pronoun “Who” is in Nominative case. It always takes one verb with it. Whereas, Whomis the objective case of Who. After WHOM, no verb is used. Possessive case of WHO is WHOSE. To detect the difference between usage of “who” and “whom” one should count number of verbs and subjects in a sentence. Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice.

S5. Ans. (d)
Sol. “It” should be used after “give”. “Give” is a transitive verb and there should be an object after it. According to the meaning of the sentence, for consent, “give it” will be used. Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S6. Ans. (b)
Sol. Topple: overbalance or cause to overbalance and fall.
Fall, tumble, overturn flatten.

arrange or classify.
