Solutions
S1. Ans. (c)
Sol. Use ‘above’ in
place of ‘over’ because to tell ‘level’, ‘above’ is used whereas ‘over’ implies
movement from one place to another. Ex. Inflation is above 6%. Temperatures
have been above average.
S2. Ans. (d)
Sol.  Use ‘for reducing’ in place of ‘for reduce’
because the verb coming after preposition ‘for’ should always be in fourth form
of the verb.
S3. Ans. (d)
Sol. The use of
‘consumption’ is superfluous.
S4. Ans. (c)
Sol. In place of ‘on’,
‘against’ or ‘with’ will be used as ‘fight against/with’ is used.
S5. Ans. (b)
Sol.  Use ‘by’ before ‘telephone’.
S6. Ans. (d)
Sol. ‘had’ will be used
in place of ‘have’ because words like ‘declined’ and ‘did’ infer that the
sentence is in past.
S7. Ans. (c)
Sol. Use ‘on’ in place
‘for’ because ‘congratulate somebody on something’ or ‘Be congratulated on
something’ is used. Ex. I congratulated him on his grand success.
S8. Ans. (e)
Sol. The sentence is
grammatically correct.
S9. Ans. (a)
Sol. In place of ‘his’,
‘him’ will be used because pronoun used after verbs like ‘hear, watch, behold,
see, let, make and bid’ is in objective case. Ex. I saw him yesterday.
S10. Ans. (a)
Sol. Use ‘heard’ in
place of ‘had heard’ because ‘had+ third form of verb’ is used in Past perfect
while second form of verb is used in simple past.
S11. Ans. (c)
Sol. Use ‘room’ in place
of ‘place’ as the given word fails to match the sense of the given sentence.
S12. Ans. (b)
Sol. The use of ‘very’
is superfluous because ‘positive degree adjective + enough’ is used. Ex. Lucky
enough, tall enough.
S13. Ans. (e)
Sol. The sentence is
grammatically correct.
S14. Ans. (b)
Sol. ‘its’ will be used
in place of ‘their’ because the subject of the sentence ‘the college’ is in
singular number. Hence ‘its’ is used.
S15. Ans. (a)
Sol.  Use ‘had’ in place of ‘have’ because after
‘have, had, has’, verb is always used in part participle (V3). Ex. He has
written a book, Had they had me in their team, I would have helped him.
