Mixed English Questions for Mains Exam — Set 320

Directions(1-3): From the options given below, select the option which states the correct combination of incorrect sentences.
  1. I) Tractors and Farm Equipment Ltd. (TAFE) have appointed a new chief executive officer and elevated two top officials.
    II) Next up for Williams will be American wildcard Catherine McNally, who beat Swiss Timea Bacsinszky 6-4 6-1 earlier on August 26.
    III) The RBI said as financial resilience was within the desired range, the entire 2018-19 net income of Rs.1.23 lakh crore has been transferred.
    Only I is incorrect.
    Only III is incorrect.
    Both I & II are incorrect
    Both II & III are incorrect.
    All are correct
    Option A
    I. Tractors and Farm Equipment Ltd. (TAFE) has appointed a new chief executive officer and elevated two top officials.
    In this sentence, the TAFE is a single subject, hence, according to Subject-Verb according rule, ‘has appointed’ should be used instead of ‘have appointed’.
    II. Next up for Williams will be American wildcard Catherine McNally, who beat Swiss Timea Bacsinszky 6-4 6-1 earlier on August 26. This sentence is correct.
    III. The RBI said as financial resilience was within the desired range, the entire 2018-19 net income of Rs.1.23 lakh crore has been transferred. This sentence is also correct.

     


  2. I) The National Calamity contingent duty (NCCD) which was applied on tobacco products pre-GST continue to apply post-GST as well.
    II) While addressed a gathering in Pennsylvania, Mr. Trump took issue with the “developing country” status enjoyed by India and China at the WTO.
    III) Ms. Sitharaman told a press conference that the government will not treat corporate social responsibility violations as criminal offences, like it had earlier said.
    Only II
    Both I & III
    Both II & III
    Both I & II
    All are correct
    Option C
    I. The National Calamity contingent duty (NCCD) which was applied on tobacco products pre-GST continue to apply post-GST as well. This sentence is correct in all forms.
    II. While addressing a gathering in Pennsylvania, Mr. Trump took issue with the “developing country” status enjoyed by India and China at the WTO. ‘While’ is a conjunction which can be used to mean ‘during the time that’, to connect two events happening at the same time. We often use it with the past continuous to refer to background events. Hence, according to the rule, the verb ‘address’ should be in ‘ing’ form. Thus, ‘while addressing’ is the correct usage.
    III. Ms. Sitharaman told a press conference that the government will not treat corporate social responsibility violations as criminal offences, as it had earlier said.
    Like is used as a preposition, telling where, when or how the noun in the sentence is doing whatever it may be doing. As is used as a conjunction, joining two clauses and because there is a verb after like (said), the conjunction as should be used.

     


  3. I) The number of wireless data subscribers doubled between 2014 and 2018, largely due to the cheaper prices of data.
    II) According to government data, post-harvest losses is highest in the fruit and vegetable sector with as much as 16% of produce going waste.
    III) The 21st session of the COP21 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was held in Paris from November 30 to December 12 2015 that saw the participation of 195 nations.
    Only II
    Only I
    Only III
    Both I & III
    All are correct
    Option A
    I. The number of wireless data subscribers doubled between 2014 and 2018, largely due to the cheaper prices of data. This sentence is correct.
    II. According to government data, post-harvest losses are highest in the fruit and vegetable sector with as much as 16% of produce going waste. In this sentence, the ‘losses’ in post- harvest losses is indicating loss in more than one way, hence, clearly it is a plural subject, so, ‘are highest’ is the correct usage instead of ‘is highest’.
    III. The 21st session of the COP21 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was held in Paris from November 30 to December 12 2015 that saw the participation of 195 nations. This sentence is also correct.

  7. A. There is, however, a further development which is very common in the present day.
    B. The typical unhappy man is one who, having been deprived in youth of some normal satisfaction, comes to value this one kind of
    satisfaction more than any other, and has therefore given to his life a one-side direction, together with a quite undue emphasis upon the
    achievement as opposed to the activities connected with it.
    C. The psychological causes of unhappiness, it is clear, are many and various. But all have something in common.
    D. A man may feel so completely thwarted that he seeks no form of satisfaction, but only distraction and oblivion. He then becomes a devotee

    CBAD

    8. Directions(8-10): In each question below, a sentence is given with a part of it printed in bold type. That part may contain a grammatical error. Each sentence is followed by phrases A), B) and C) and D). Find out which phrase should replace the phrase given in bold to correct the error, if there is any, and to make the sentence grammatically meaningful and correct. If the sentence is correct as it is and ‘No correction is required’, mark E) as the answer .
  8. Members of the automated teller machine (ATM) industry have blamed banks (of not supplying adequate cash) which has resulted in the acute shortage of cash in several parts of the country this month .
    In not supplying adequate cash
    To not supply adequate cash
    For not supplying adequate cash
    As to not supply adequate cash
    No correction required
    Option C
    The sentence needs to be formed in a way that it justifies through a reason that why/for what the banks are being blamed, therefore the preposition ‘for’ will be most appropriate.
    We can either put a blame ‘on’ someone/something or blame someone/something ‘for’ a reason.

     


  9. In keeping with the technology and innovation theme of the visit, events will be pegged around this, including a visit to the Science Museum, (current home for Illuminating India), focused on 5,000 years of science and innovation in the country.
    Current home to illuminating India
    Currently home to illuminating India
    Currently home for illuminating India
    Current home for illumination India
    No correction required
    Option B
    Adverb error: we need an adverb to form a meaningful phrase. ‘Current’ is an adjective, whereas ‘currently’ is an adverb.
    ‘To’ here is also being used as an adverb, as it is modifying the following verb. A preposition will be grammatically incorrect here

     


  10. The long-term challenge is to make the (much of the rainfall that India is getting), ranging from a few hundred millimetres or less in the northwest to more than a few thousand millimetres elsewhere.
    Much of the rainfall that India will be getting
    Much of the rainfall that India was getting
    Most of the rainfall those India will get
    Most of the rainfall that India gets
    No Correction required
    Option D
    The phrase will be grammatically and contextually correct with the superlative degree, i.e. most.
    Ex – we should make the ‘most’ of even a small opportunity that comes our way.
    The sentence talks in a simple present tense, therefore the verb ‘get’ will also be used in the same tense to make the sentence grammatically
    correct.

Given below it are five options, out of which you need to find the one which has the same meaning as the idiom/phrasal verb used in the sentence and can successfully replace the idiom/phrasal verb without changing the meaning of the sentence.

    None of these
    Option A

     


    6. Directions(6-9): A sentence divided into three parts, I, II and III, is given. There may be an error in one or more parts. Determine the part(s) which requires correction and mark the relevant option as your answer.
  6. Contrary to the belief that war is an effective way to created jobs, (I)/ US federal spending in the wars would have led to many jobs than existing,
    (II)/ had the money been invested instead, in other sectors (III).
    Only I
    Both I and II
    Only II
    Both I and III
    Both II and III
    Option B
    The error in part I of the sentence is that the phrase ‘to created’ is incorrect and needs to be replaced with the phrase ‘to create’ to make the
    sentence grammatically and contextually correct because 'to' will be followed by the first form of the verb.
    The error in part II of the sentence is that ‘many’ is incorrect and needs to be replaced with the ‘more’ to make the sentence grammatically and
    contextually correct. This is because we are making a comparison here and for comparing the comparative degree of adjective ‘more’ is used.
    The part III of the sentence is correct as the helping verb ‘had’ is used as a connector to connect the former part of the sentence with the latter.
    Hence, option B is correct.

     


  7. SBI, the nation’s top bank by assets, is selling up to 8% stake, (I)/ or 80 million shares, in the unit as a part of the IPO, while, (II)/ BNP Paribas
    Cardiff is selling up to 4% stake, or 40 million shares. (III)
    Both I and III
    Only II
    All I, II and III
    None of I, II and III
    No correction required
    Option E
    The part I of the sentence is correct as the singular form of the verb ‘is’ is required for the singular noun ‘SBI’.
    The part II of the sentence is correct as the singular noun ‘part’ is needed instead of the plural noun ‘parts’.
    The part III of the sentence is correct as the singular noun ‘BNP Paribas Cardiff’ is followed by a singular verb ‘is’. Hence, option E is correct.

     


  8. For census purposes, Egyptian towns are considered urban centers, (I)/ some of them contain large numbers of small peasants, (II)/ and most
    persons engaged in work belong to lower levels in agriculture and rural enterprises. (III)
    Both I and II
    Both II and III
    Only I
    Both I and III
    No correction required
    Option C
    The given sentence expresses two contradicting conditions occurring at the same time. One is the consideration of Egyptian towns as urban
    centers, while the other reflects that some of the towns contain large number of small peasants. Thus, in part I, we need to use ‘although’ to imply
    contradictory statements. Add "although" before "for" to make the part correct.
    The part II of the sentence is correct as ‘contain’ is the correct form of the verb to be used in the sentence instead of the gerund form of the verb
    ‘containing’.
    The part III of the sentence is correct as ‘engaged in’ is the correct form of the phrasal verb to be used in the sentence. Hence, option C is the
    answer.

     


  9. Not all clothing sold in Amazon will be eligible for the Prime Wardrobe, (I)/ but items that can be put in a Wardrobe box will be marked off a logo,
    (II)/ for the service over 1 million of they. (III)
    Both I and II
    Both II and III
    Only I
    None of I, II and III
    All of I, II and III
    Option E
    The error in part I of the sentence is that the preposition ‘in’ is incorrect and needs to be replaced with the preposition ‘on’ to make the sentence
    grammatically and contextually correct. This is because things are sold ‘on’ and not ‘in’.
    The error in part II of the sentence is that the phrase ‘marked off’ is incorrect and needs to be replaced with the phrase ‘marked with’ to make the
    sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
    The error in part III of the sentence is that the pronoun ‘they’ is incorrect and needs to be replaced with the pronoun ‘them’ to make the sentence
    grammatically and contextually correct. This is because the objective pronoun is needed in place of a subjective pronoun. Hence, option E is
    correct.

     


  10. A statement with a blank has been given, followed by three words. One or more than one word can fill the blank to make the sentence grammatically correct. Find the word (s) which can fill the blank and choose the option accordingly.

    The botanical garden _____________ an array of horticultural exotics from around the world.
    a) Boasts
    b) Aggregate
    c) Hosts
    Only a
    Both b & c
    Only b
    None of the given options
    Both a & c
    Option E
    Meaning of the following words:
    a) Boasts- to possess a certain feature
    b) Aggregate- a sum total or a
    formed by combining several separate elements
    c) Hosts- acting as a place or person who
    receives or entertains other people as guests
    Given the context, the botanical garden can be a place which entertains exotic plants.
    It can also possess certain exotic plants from around the world.
    Hence, both a & c can fill the blank.
