- Question 1 of 10
1. Question
Direction(1-5): In the given question, a part of the sentence is printed in bold. Below the sentence alternatives to the bold part are given at (A), (B), (C) and (D) which may help improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case the given sentence is correct, your answer is (E) i.e. No correction required.
If the country is to play the role of a maritime power and protect its interests in increasingly crowded sea-lanes, it needs to have a navy which maintains minimum standards.
CorrectSince the sentence presents conditionality using the word ‘if’, the simple present tense of the verb has to be used. A uses the present perfect continuous (has been playing), B uses the present continuous (playing) and C uses the simple past (played). The use of the modal verb ‘can’ will not suffice here. E is the right answer, as the highlighted phrase requires no improvement.

2. Question
Comparing all geographic events, the occurrence of an earthquake is probably the more difficult to predict.
CorrectWhen we compare more than two things, the superlative (most) is needed. The fact that ALL weather phenomena are being taken into account (we can assume this means more than just two things). Hence, ‘most’ is appropriate rather than ‘more’. C will be incorrect as it does not specify what is difficult to do. B is the right answer.

7. Question
We take our rules and regulations very seriously; hence, if you want to stay here for long, you need to abide by the rules.
CorrectWe need a verb to replace the phrase in the sentence. ‘Observance’ is a noun and refers to the practice of observing the requirements of law, morality, or ritual. ‘Accepted’ is an adjective and refers to something generally believed or recognized to be valid or correct. ‘Appraise’, although a verb, will not be correct here as it refers to assessing the value or quality of something. But here we’re talking about rules, which does not entertain a question on quality – you don’t say “the quality of rules”. ‘Following’ acts as both an adjective and noun and generally means next in line and a body of supporters/admirers, respectively. ‘Obey’ will be the correct word, making option B the correct answer.

I believe you’ll be able to account for all the mistakes that occurred during the course of the entire project.
CorrectThe two things that we need to take care of here is that first, a verb is required to replace the given phrase in the sentence and “I believe you’ll be able to..” refers to the sentence being talked about in the present tense. ‘Clarified’, a past participle means to simplify something, will not be correct here as it does not follow the tense. ‘Comply’ means to act in accordance with a wish or command and requires the preposition ‘to’ after it, making it incorrect here. ‘Anticipate’ means to predict and because it always in the future context of things, it won’t be correct here. ‘Disburse’ means to pay out money, like from a fund, but the sentence does not consider the aspect of money here, making it incorrect. ‘Explain’ will be able to correctly replace the given phrase, making option D the correct answer.

9. Question
I was on the household cleaning spree today, when I came across some very old artefacts.
CorrectWe need an adjective to replace the given phrase in the sentence. ‘Develop’ is a verb and refers to grow or cause to grow and become more mature, advanced, or elaborate, ‘discover’ is a verb, meaning to unexpectedly find something or become aware of something and ‘move’ is also a verb. And none of the three can be considered here, them being verbs. ‘Played’ will require the preposition ‘with’ to accompany it, to be correct. ‘Found’ will be the best word to replace the given phrase, making option C the correct answer.

10. Question
You need to get off the bus, after it takes the 2nd left turn and stops at a very beautifully decorated bus stand.
CorrectWe need a verb to replace the given phrase in the sentence. Both ‘abandoned’ and ‘forsaken’ are adjectives and means the same thing – something deserted or left. Both of them can be ruled out, on the account of them being adjectives. ‘Concentrate’, which means to focus all of one’s attention on a particular object or activity, is a verb but will require the preposition ‘on’ after it, to make it grammatically incorrect here. Now, both ‘leave’ and ‘support’ are verbs, but the former, when substituted, will make perfect sense as compared to the substitution of the latter. Hence, option A will be the correct answer.
