Solutions

S1. Ans. (c)
Sol. Use ‘room’ in place of ‘place’.
S2. Ans. (b)
Sol. The use of ‘very’ is superfluous because ‘positive degree adjective + enough’ is used. Ex. Lucky enough, tall enough.
S3. Ans. (e)
Sol. The sentence is grammatically correct.
S4. 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.
S5. 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.
S6. Ans. (b)
Sol. ‘is’ should be used after ‘a digital computer’ because the sentence is assertive not interrogative.
S7. Ans. (d)
Sol. In place of ‘a’, ‘the’ is used as ‘with the naked eye’ is the correct expression.

S9. Ans. (b)
Sol. In place of ‘for’, ‘to’ will be used because preposition ‘to’ is used after ‘yield’. Ex. She yielded to bribery.

Sol. Use ‘of’ in place of ‘on’ because preposition ‘of’ is used after ‘guilty’. Ex. “guilty of murder, guilty of theft.”
