Answer Review for "Error detection 01"
Question Navigator
English
Question 1
If you will (A)/ go to a hill (B)/station, your health(C)/ will improve(D).
Correct! The ‘if’ clause should be in the simple present tense (“If you go…”), not the future tense.
Question 2
More than one train have (A)/ been delayed due to (B)/ fog today, so you might (C)/ have to wait a little bit.
Correct! “More than one” is followed by a singular noun and takes a singular verb, so “have” should be replaced with “has”.
Question 3
Anna or her sisters (A)/ feeds the street dogs(B)/ every night after (C)/ their mother sleeps(D).
Correct! When two subjects are connected by ‘or’, the verb agrees with the closer subject. Since “her sisters” is plural, the verb should be plural (“feed”).
Question 4
Each of you have(A) your own keys to the locker(B), so there’s no need(C) to quarrel over this(D).
Correct! “Each” is a singular pronoun and always takes a singular verb, so “have” should be replaced with “has”.
Question 5
Irrespective of the methodology (A)/ used, you must invest quality time (B)/ in take care of (C)/ the elementary rules (D).
Correct! The preposition “in” must be followed by a gerund (V1 + ing), so “take care of” should be replaced with “taking care of”.
Question 6
The captain made (A)/ us to see (B)/that our yacht was (C)/in a precarious condition (D).
Correct! The causative verb “make” is followed by a bare infinitive (verb without “to”) in the active voice, so “to see” should be replaced with “see”.
Question 7
We have to break it (A)/ to these kids that tech (B)/ companies don’t care about (C)/ theirs fun and enjoyment (D).
Correct! “Theirs” is a possessive pronoun and cannot be followed by a noun. Here, we need the possessive adjective “their” to modify “fun and enjoyment”.
Question 8
Sunscreen lotions are (A)/ good so they (B)/ are not required to (C)/ be used by everyone (D).
Correct! The conjunction “so” shows a cause-and-effect relationship, which doesn’t make sense here. It should be replaced with a contrast connector like “but”.
Question 9
Winter season is known (A)/ for cold weather, (B)/ sweaters, festive mood, (C)/ holidays and merrily (D).
Correct! This sentence requires parallel structure. Since “weather”, “sweaters”, “mood”, and “holidays” are all nouns, we must use the noun form “merriment” instead of the adverb “merrily”.
Question 10
The company provided (A)/ assurance with (B)/ the product’s quality (C) / by offering (D)/ a money-back guarantee. (E)
Correct! The noun “assurance” takes the preposition “of” or “about” when referring to the object of assurance. Therefore, “assurance with” should be replaced with “assurance of”.
Question 11
My mother is baking cookies(A)/ for our guests, either (B)/ Heena or Teena are helping(C)/ her in the kitchen. (D)
Correct! When two singular subjects (“Heena” and “Teena”) are connected by “either… or”, the verb must be singular. Therefore, “are helping” should be replaced with “is helping”.
Question 12
The rich usually helps (A)/ the poor by working (B)/ towards their welfare (C)/ either directly or indirectly (D).
Correct! “The rich” represents the entire class of rich people and is treated as a plural noun, so it takes a plural verb. Therefore, “helps” should be replaced with “help”.
Question 13
As a psychologist as well as a linguist, I am (A) / fascinated of the idea of how music (B) / and language can shape our brain, and how (C) / our brain attunes to musical, and speech sounds differently. (D)
Correct! The adjective “fascinated” takes the preposition “by” or “with” instead of “of”. Therefore, “fascinated of” should be changed to “fascinated by”.
Question 14
Even though knowledge work is typically (A)/ outcome based, managers have (B)/ traditionally measured employees’ productivity (C)/ by hours spent from the desk (D).
Correct! The correct idiomatic phrase is “hours spent at the desk,” not “from the desk.” Therefore, “from” should be replaced with “at”.
Question 15
He will (A)/ never succeed (B)/ unless he / puts in (C)/ more effort (D).
Correct! The sentence is grammatically correct. The conditional clause using “unless” is properly paired with the simple present tense (“puts in”).
Question 16
Employees working beyond regular office hours are entitled, (A) / as per company policy (B) / to additional compensation (C) / provided they submit / the required approvals beforehand (D).
Correct! The phrase “as per company policy” is a parenthetical element that should be set off by commas on both sides, but the first comma in part (A) is incorrectly placed after “entitled” instead of before “as per.” The correct structure is “are entitled, as per company policy, to additional compensation.” Example: “The students are eligible, as per university rules, for financial aid.” (Not: “The students are eligible, as per university rules for financial aid.”)
Question 17
The manager along with his subordinates were present (A) / at the conference / to discuss the new strategy (B) / aimed at improving efficiency (C) / across all operational units (D).
Correct! When the subject is followed by an additive phrase such as “along with,” “together with,” or “as well as,” the verb agrees with the main subject, not the words in the phrase. Here, the main subject is “The manager” (singular), so the verb should be “was” instead of “were.” Example: “The teacher, along with her students, was present at the event.” (Not: “The teacher, along with her students, were present at the event.”)
Question 18
She had hardly finished the presentation , / than the panel members (A) / started raising objections (B) / regarding the feasibility of the proposal, (C) / which surprised the entire team (D).
Correct! The adverb “hardly” is always paired with “when,” not “than.” The correlative pair “no sooner” is used with “than.” Therefore, “than” in part (A) should be replaced with “when.” Example: “She had hardly entered the room when the phone rang.” (Not: “She had hardly entered the room than the phone rang.”) Compare with: “No sooner had she entered the room than the phone rang.”
Question 19
The spokesperson categorically denied the allegations, / stating that the company (A) / had complied with all regulations (B) / long before the policy is revised (C) / by the concerned authorities (D).
Correct! When the main clause uses the past perfect tense (“had complied”), a later action must be expressed in the simple past tense. Therefore, “is revised” should be replaced with “was revised.” Example: “The train had already left before we reached the station.” (Not: “The train had already left before we reach the station.”)
Question 20
The success of the scheme (A) / depends largely on public cooperation, / rather than on strict enforcement of rules by authorities (B) / who is responsible for implementation (C) / at the ground level (D).
Correct! The relative pronoun “who” refers to its antecedent “authorities,” which is plural. Therefore, the verb must also be plural, and “is” should be replaced with “are.” Example: “The teachers who are dedicated inspire their students.” (Not: “The teachers who is dedicated inspire their students.”)
