Your answers are highlighted below.
Question 1 |
Identify the error in the sentence given below.
According to government estimates | |
at least four million tonnes of sugar | |
will have to be imported | |
this year because of a poor monsoon. | |
No error |
Question 1 Explanation:
The fault is in the first part. With the collective noun government, we would have to use a definite article ‘the’. Indefinite articles would have been used if ‘estimate’ word was given instead of ‘estimates’.
Question 2 |
Identify the error in the sentence given below.
The Board's decision has provided | |
employees with the opportunity | |
to acquire up to 100 | |
shares by the company. | |
No error |
Question 2 Explanation:
The problem is with the fourth part of the sentence. Here, the meaning that needs to be conveyed is a thing that the company already possesses and owns. So, the correct preposition would be ‘of’ and not ‘by’.
Question 3 |
Identify the error in the sentence given below.
He had telephoned yesterday to | |
ask how much of the youth | |
who attend our classes would be | |
interested in working for a textile company. | |
No error |
Question 3 Explanation:
Youth refers to people on a whole and people are countable. Hence, youth classifies as a countable noun. So, in the second part, instead of ‘how much’ it should be ‘how many’. How much would have been used if the noun was uncountable.
Question 4 |
Identify the error in the sentence given below.
Though he has promoted to | |
the bank's board as a director | |
he continues to carry out | |
all his current responsibilities. | |
No error |
Question 4 Explanation:
The first part of the sentence seems incomplete as passive tone is not used. Therefore, ‘Though he has been promoted..’ needs to be used and not ‘Though he has promoted..’.
Question 5 |
Identify the error in the sentence given below.
Had this notification | |
been amended earlier, | |
we could have stopped | |
the transfer of funds. | |
No error |
