Solutions: 

 

S1. Ans. (c)

Sol. Use ‘lot’ in place of
‘large number’ as ‘a large number of/ a number of’ is not used with uncountable
noun ‘time’.

S2. Ans. (a)

Sol. ‘spent’ will be used in
place of ‘spend’ as ‘have/ has/ had/ having+ V3’ is used.

S3. Ans. (b)

Sol. ‘reached’ will be used in
place of ‘reach’ as the sentence is in past tense.

S4. Ans. (b)

Sol. ‘is’ will be used in place
of ‘are’ as singular verb is used after ‘The number of’.

S5. Ans. (c)

Sol. ‘are still’ will be used
in place of ‘still remaining’ as plural verb ‘are’ is used for ‘many social
problems’

S6. Ans.(b)

Sol. ‘The’ will not be used
before ‘life’ as ‘life, science, man, woman’ when used for comprehensive
meaning then we don’t use an article before it. However, when these words are
used for some specific purpose we can use an article before it.

For example:

Aman leads a happy life.

S7. Ans.(a)

Sol. The error is in part (a)
of the sentence. Use ‘we had got’ in place of ‘we got’ as when we talk about
the two incidents of the past then for the event which took place earlier we
use’ Past Perfect’ and for the event which took place later we use simple past.

S8. Ans.(e)

Sol. There is no error in the
given statement.

S9. Ans.(c)

Sol. Replace ‘ones’ with ‘one’
as one is used for singular noun and ‘ones’ is used for plural noun.

S10. Ans.(b)

Sol. Th error is in part (b) of
the sentence as ‘made’ should be in place of ‘done’ as ‘make a mistake’ is
idiomatic. A ‘mistake made’ will be correct if it is used in the passive voice.

S11. Ans.(e)

Sol. There is no error in the
given statement.

S12. Ans.(a)

Sol. The error is in part (a)
of the sentence.

‘Fortunately,’ will be used at
the start of the sentence because the adverb which tells us about the specialty
of the sentence is used generally at the start of the sentence.

Example—–

Unfortunately, he was wounded in the war.

S13. Ans.(c)

Sol. The error is in part (c)
of the sentence.

Remove ‘had’ as we need to use
only simple past. 

The work which is completed
first must be written in Past Perfect i.e., (subject +had + v3 ) which becomes
THE TRAIN HAD LEFT.

The work which is completed
after must be written in SIMPLE PAST i.e., (subject+ v2 + object) which becomes
HE REACHED THE STATION.

S14. Ans.(e)

Sol. There is no error in the
given statement.

S15. Ans.(c)

Sol. There is an error in part
(c) of the sentence.

The use of “equally successful”
is superfluous as “as successful as” implies the same meaning.
