Solutions

S1. Ans. (d)
Sol: The grammatical error is in the use of the pronoun “me.” The correct pronoun to use in this sentence is “I.” The correct sentence should read, “My friends and I are planning a trip to the beach next weekend.” Using “me” instead of “I” is a common mistake, but it is incorrect because “me” is the object form of the pronoun, while “I” is the subject form.

S2. Ans. (b)
Sol. The error in the sentence is a wrong use of the preposition “while.” “While” is used to indicate that two actions are happening at the same time. However, in this sentence, the reason for his lateness is the heavy traffic on the highway, which is not happening at the same time as the meeting. Therefore, a better way to express this sentence would be: “He was late for the meeting because of the heavy traffic on the highway.”

S3. Ans. (a)
Sol. The error in the sentence is a pronoun-antecedent agreement error. The pronoun “his” is used to refer to the band, but “his” is a singular possessive pronoun and refers to only one person. In this case, “his” should be replaced with “their,” which is a plural pronoun that agrees with the plural antecedent “band.” Therefore, a correct version of this sentence would be: “The concert was amazing, and the band played all their hit songs.”

S4. Ans. (c)
Sol. The sentence contains a grammatical error. The word “unabled” is not a correct English word. The correct form of the verb “unable” should be used, which is in the past tense form “was unable” in this sentence. Therefore, a corrected version of the sentence would be: “The actor won an award for his performance in the movie, but he was unable to attend the ceremony.”

S5. Ans. (d)
Sol. The sentence contains a grammatical error. The past participle of the verb “see” is “seen,” not “seen.” The correct sentence should read, “I saw the movie last week, and it was really good.”

S6. Ans. (d)
Sol. The sentence contains a grammatical error. The past participle of the verb “see” is “seen,” not “seen.” The correct sentence should read, “We were at the mall yesterday, and we saw a movie and did some shopping.”

S7. Ans. (b)
Sol. The sentence contains a grammatical error. The verb “has” is used for a singular noun, while “profits” is a plural noun. Therefore, the correct verb form to use in this sentence is “have.” A corrected version of the sentence would be: “The company’s profits have increased significantly over the past year.”

S8. Ans. (d)
Sol.The sentence contains a grammatical error. The correct pronoun to use in this sentence is “I” instead of “Me.” The sentence should read, “My friends and I planned to go shopping but got stuck in traffic.”

S9. Ans. (e)
Sol. all are correct. There is no grammatical or contextual error in any of the sentences.

S10. Ans. (c)
Sol. The sentence contains a preposition error. The correct preposition to use after “disqualified” is “for” and not “to”. Therefore, a corrected version of the sentence would be: “The athlete was disqualified from the race for using performance-enhancing drugs.”

S11. Ans. (e)
Sol. all are correct. There is no grammatical or contextual error in any of the sentences.

S12. Ans. (a)
Sol. The sentence contains a pronoun-antecedent agreement error. The word “company” is a singular noun, and the pronoun “their” is plural. The correct pronoun to use with a singular noun is “its.” Therefore, a corrected version of the sentence would be: “The company announced that it would be expanding its operations to new markets.”

S13. Ans. (a)
Sol. The sentence contains an article error. The correct form is “all over the world” instead of “over the world.” The use of the indefinite article “a” before “galleries” is also incorrect since it implies that there is only one gallery in the world. The correct form would be to use the plural noun “galleries” without an article. Therefore, a corrected version of the sentence would be: “The artist is known for his unique style of painting and has exhibited his work in galleries all over the world.”

S14. Ans. (d)
Sol. The sentence contains a contextual error. The correct preposition to use in this sentence is “on” instead of “to.” The sentence should read, “He borrowed his friend’s car to drive to the concert, but he got lost on the way.”

S15. Ans. (e)
Sol. all are correct. There is no grammatical or contextual error in any of the sentences.
