S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Use ‘are’ in place of ‘is’ because here ‘staff’ has been used as a plural noun.
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. Use ‘many’ in place of ‘much’ because ‘many’ is used for number and much is used for quantity.
S8. Ans.(c) Since the doer is at the position of the
‘Subject’, the verb should be in the active voice (….you should select).
S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. Replace ‘nobody’ with ‘none’, because nobody cannot
be used when it is followed by …of + Noun/Pronoun.
S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. Appointed is never followed by ‘For’. Use ‘as’ in
place of ‘for’ or you can simply remove ‘for’ without putting ‘as’ in place of
‘for’. For example. They appointed him (as) captain of cricket team.
S11. Ans.(a)
Sol. Use ‘based’ in place of ‘base’. For example,
The report is based
on the medical test. My assumption is based
on the experience acquired over Several years.
S12. Ans.(c)
Sol. Here is a wrong use of ‘Conjunction’. ‘Though’ is
used to show ‘contrast’ and ‘because’ is used to ‘express reason’. I cannot
give you money because I do not have. I can give you money, though I am poor.
S13. Ans.(c)
Sol. Use ‘seriously ‘ in place of ‘Serious’. [Verb + Adverb]
S14. Ans.(a)
Sol. Since subject (any of the branches) is singular, use
‘does’ in place of ‘do’. [Any + of
+Determiner + Plural Noun+ Singular Verb]
S15. Ans.(e)
