English
Question 1
PIMFA’s immediate priorities this year will be for lobby Government (A)/ and working with stakeholders across the industry. (B)/ consumer groups and the FCA to ensure that economic harms are included in the upcoming Online Safety Bill (C)/ to provide greatest protection to consumers from financial scams. (D)
Correct! The phrase “for lobby Government” is grammatically incorrect. The preposition “for” should be followed by a gerund (verb + ing) to maintain parallel structure with “working.” Therefore, “for lobby Government” should be replaced with “to lobby the Government” or “lobbying the Government.” Example: “The priority will be to lobby the government and work with stakeholders.” (Not: “The priority will be for lobby the government and working with stakeholders.”)
Question 2
The emerge of evidence of (A)/ a rise in Indian defence exports (B)/ also accompanied to a decline in imports (C)/ is a welcome development though the reasons for both is not identical (D).
Correct! The word “emerge” is a verb, but the sentence requires a noun to serve as the subject. Therefore, “emerge” should be replaced with the noun form “emergence.” Example: “The emergence of new technology has changed the industry.” (Not: “The emerge of new technology has changed the industry.”)
Question 3
India cancelled involvement (A)/ in 2018 due to rising dissatisfy (B)/ in delays with the project as well as the absent of (C)/ capabilities that would befits a fifth generation fighter jet (D).
Correct! The word “dissatisfy” is a verb, but the sentence requires a noun after the adjective “rising.” Therefore, “dissatisfy” should be replaced with the noun form “dissatisfaction.” Example: “There was rising dissatisfaction among the employees.” (Not: “There was rising dissatisfy among the employees.”)
Question 4
So as scientists first scrambled to figure (A)/ off the never-before-seen coronavirus, I was primed to follow (B)/ their advise about how to keep safe, based on the hypothesis that the virus (C)/ was transmitted most by droplets from coughs and sneezes lingering on surfaces. (D)
Correct! The word “advise” is a verb, but the sentence requires the noun form “advice” as the object of the verb “follow.” “Advise” means to give guidance, while “advice” is the guidance itself. Therefore, “advise” should be replaced with “advice.” Example: “I followed my teacher’s advice.” (Not: “I followed my teacher’s advise.”)
Question 5
German Luxury Car brand Audi on Monday (A)/ staged the global launch of a new electric sport utility vehicle (B)/ on the home turf of rival Tesla Inc, and highlighted (C)/ a deal with Amazon.com Inc to make recharging its forthcoming e-tron models easier. (D)
Correct! The sentence is grammatically correct. The verb “staged” and “highlighted” are in proper parallel structure, the prepositional phrases are correctly used, and the overall sentence construction is accurate. Example: “The company staged an event and highlighted its achievements.” (similar correct structure).
Question 6
The restrictions on the (a)/ districts have been imposed (b)/ on the basis of these (c)/ categories which has not (d)/ shown expected results yet (e).
Correct! The relative pronoun “which” refers to “categories,” which is plural. Therefore, the verb must also be plural. “Has” should be replaced with “have.” Example: “The categories which have been selected are final.” (Not: “The categories which has been selected is final.”)
Question 7
Vodafone Idea owes (a)/ nearly Rs 1.5 lakh crore for the government (b)/ that included deferred spectrum (c)/ payment, and adjusted gross (d)/ revenue (AGR) dues (e).
Correct! The preposition “for” is incorrect in this context. When referring to money owed to an entity, the preposition “to” should be used. Therefore, “for the government” should be replaced with “to the government.” Example: “He owes money to the bank.” (Not: “He owes money for the bank.”)
Question 8
The members reaffirmed that (a)/ there is no military solution to the (b)/ conflict, and declare (c)/ that they do not support (d)/ the restoration of the Islamic Emirate (e).
Correct! The sentence begins in the past tense with “reaffirmed,” so the second verb must also be in the past tense to maintain consistency. Therefore, “declare” should be replaced with “declared.” Example: “She stated her opinion and declared her intentions.” (Not: “She stated her opinion and declare her intentions.”)
Question 9
The 23-year-old Chopra became (a)/ the first Indian javelin thrower to enter (b)/ the finals of the Games with a big (c)/ throw of 86.65m that put him (d)/ on top of the Group A qualification (e).
Correct! The sentence is grammatically correct. The verb tenses are consistent, the infinitive “to enter” is properly used, and the overall structure is accurate. Example: “She became the first athlete to win gold for her country.” (similar correct structure).
Question 10
After by-polls to Sindgi and Hangal assembly constituencies,(A) /the focus has shifted into the December elections (B)/ for 25 legislative council seats from (C)/ urban and rural local bodies. (D)/ No error (E)
Correct! The correct preposition after “shifted” in this context is “to,” not “into.” “Shift into” is used for changing gears or states, while “shift to” is used for moving attention or focus. Therefore, “shifted into” should be replaced with “shifted to.” Example: “The focus has shifted to the upcoming event.” (Not: “The focus has shifted into the upcoming event.”)
Question 11
Nalanda University vice-chancellor said that as much as 200 delegates,(A) / dignitaries, statesmen, scholars and those associated with religious organisations (B)/ from across the globe would participate in the three-day sixth (C) / IDDC being held on the new campus of the university.(D) / No error (E)
Correct! The phrase “as much as” is used with uncountable nouns, while “as many as” is used with countable nouns like “delegates.” Therefore, “as much as” should be replaced with “as many as.” Example: “As many as 500 students attended the seminar.” (Not: “As much as 500 students attended the seminar.”)
Question 12
Prayagraj: Ganga Putra- a documentary directed by Jai Prakash, who (A) / is posted as technical assistant at the Centre for Theatre and Film (B) / at Allahabad University, has left an impressive imprint on the audience (C)/ watching the documentary.(D)/ No error(E)
Correct! The sentence is grammatically correct. The relative clause “who is posted as technical assistant” correctly modifies “Jai Prakash,” and the main clause “has left an impressive imprint” maintains proper subject-verb agreement. Example: “The film, which was directed by a newcomer, has impressed the audience.” (similar correct structure).
Question 13
The Centre must held an “emergency” meeting of states(A)/ neighbouring Delhi to devise a mechanism to deal with (B)/ crop residue burning due to which the (C)/ city’s air quality has deteriorated.(D)/ No error (E)
Correct! After a modal verb like “must,” the base form of the verb must be used, not the past tense or past participle. Therefore, “held” should be replaced with “hold.” Example: “The government must hold a meeting immediately.” (Not: “The government must held a meeting immediately.”)
Question 14
The Enforcement Directorate conducted searches (A)/ on five premises linked to former Maharashtra (B)/ Home Minister Anil Deshmukh in Mumbai and (C)/ Nagpur in connection for a money laundering case (D)/ No Error (E)
Correct! The correct prepositional phrase is “in connection with,” not “in connection for.” Therefore, “in connection for” should be replaced with “in connection with.” Example: “He was arrested in connection with the robbery.” (Not: “He was arrested in connection for the robbery.”)
Question 15
A flurry of sexual harassment allegations from (A)/ Sri Lankan journalists this week have brought the (B)/ country’s media industry in sharp focus, with (C)/ many, especially women, calling for urgent reform of newsrooms (D)/ No Error (E)
Correct! The correct idiomatic phrase is “brought into sharp focus,” not “brought in sharp focus.” The preposition “into” is required to indicate the result. Therefore, “in sharp focus” should be replaced with “into sharp focus.” Example: “The incident brought the issue into sharp focus.” (Not: “The incident brought the issue in sharp focus.”)
Question 16
The ceasefire on the line of control is barely holding up (A) /with infiltration from the Pakistani side (B) /adding to the local Kashmiri youth willing to pick up the gun (C) / opening any other half front for the military (D) /No Error (E)
Correct! The phrase “any other half front” is idiomatically incorrect. The correct expression is “another front,” meaning an additional area of conflict. Therefore, “any other half front” should be replaced with “another front.” Example: “The army had to open another front in the north.” (Not: “The army had to open any other half front in the north.”)
Question 17
India scripted history on Thursday (A)/ with its covid-19 vaccine doses administered crossing the one-billion mark, (B)/ accomplishing in just about nine months (C) / after the vaccine program rollout on January 16 (D) / No error (E)
Correct! The sentence is grammatically correct. The participle phrase “crossing the one-billion mark” correctly modifies “vaccine doses administered,” and the timeline is logically presented. Example: “The country achieved the milestone, accomplishing the target in record time.” (similar correct structure).
Question 18
Our vaccine manufacturers (A) /by scaling u to meet the demands (B) /of such a large population(C) /have shown that they are none to second (D) /No error (E).
Correct! The correct idiomatic expression is “second to none,” meaning the best or unmatched. Therefore, “none to second” should be replaced with “second to none.” Example: “Her dedication is second to none.” (Not: “Her dedication is none to second.”)
Question 19
Our youth, social workers, health care workers social and religious leaders (A) / all deserve credit (B) /for the fact that India face minimal vaccine hesitancy (C) /when compared with even developed nations (D)/No Error (E)
Correct! The subject “India” is singular (referring to the country as a single entity), so the verb must also be singular. Therefore, “face” should be replaced with “faces.” Example: “India faces many challenges in the healthcare sector.” (Not: “India face many challenges in the healthcare sector.”)
Question 20
We remember (A) /how unpredictable the situation appeared than. (B) / As we were faced (C) /by an unknown and invisible enemy mutating rapidly (D) /No error (E).
Correct! The word “than” is a conjunction used for comparisons. The sentence requires the adverb “then,” meaning “at that time.” Therefore, “than” should be replaced with “then.” Example: “The situation appeared unpredictable then.” (Not: “The situation appeared unpredictable than.”)
