Question 1 of 10
1. Question
Direction:(1-5) In the given question, a sentence is divided into five parts out of which the last part is correct. Out of the remaining four, there are errors in three parts. Choose the part which doesn’t have an error. If all the four parts are correct, mark E i.e. All are correct as the answer.
In the end of the absorbing (A)/ 90-minute clash, coaches (B)/ Ranko Popovic and Albert Roca have (C)/ smiling, locked in a warmer (D)/ embrace on the sidelines. (E)
Correct
Only B is correct.
A is incorrect because the use of ‘In the end’ here is not right. In the end is generally used as an idiom, which means ‘finally.’ But grammatically correct option is to use ‘At the end’ generally followed by ‘of.’
C is incorrect because the helping verb to be used here should be indefinite i.e. ‘are’ or ‘were’.
D is incorrect because ‘warmer’ can be used only when comparisons are made. Here we must use ‘warm’ only.

Question 2 of 10
2. Question
Pune City and Bengaluru FC left themself with (A)/ everything to done in the return clash as they (B)/ played out a goalless draw in the first leg (C)/ semi-final of the Indian Super League (ISL) in (D)/ Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex Stadium. (E)
Correct
Only option C is correct.
Option A is incorrect because, here we are talking about talking about two different teams. So we can’t use ‘themself.’ It must be ‘themselves.’
Option B is wrong because, although we can use ‘to be done,’ we can’t write ‘to done.’ It must simply be ‘to do.’
Option D is wrong because, the venue mentioned is not the name of a country or even a state. It is just one small place, a stadium to be precise, so we just use ‘at.’
First- leg refers to the first half of the semi final.

Question 3 of 10
3. Question
Pune will knew they have a (A)/ chance, has given that they got a (B)/ 1-1 draw when they had went to Bengaluru (C)/ in the league stage and Roca’s team will have (D)/ the backing of the home crowd at their Fortress. (E)
Correct
Only option D is correct.
A is wrong because, ‘knew’ is in the past tense, and ‘will’ in the future tense. So this is wrong.
B is wrong because, ‘has’ used in this part of the sentence has disrupted the continuity of the sentence. The sentence was continuing with ‘have’ that was used in the previous part, so we don’t need to use ‘has’ again.
C is wrong because, we can only use ‘V3’ with ‘has, have, had.’

Question 4 of 10
4. Question
League leaders Bengaluru were favourites for this semi-final (A)/ clash but Pune measured up to the challenge to the final (B)/ whistle, denying the visitor the crucial (C)/ away goal, and a rule that has been introduced in this edition (D)/ of ISL for the first time. (E)
Correct
Only A is correct.
B is wrong because, ‘to’ is used in order express motion towards a ‘place’. For ‘time’, we must use ‘till.’ Here ‘final whistle’ is blown at a particular time i.e. 90 minutes. So we must use ‘till.’
C is wrong because, when we talk about team sports, it consists of multiple members. So we must write ‘visitors.’
D is wrong because, the use of ‘and’ implies that ‘Pune denied a goal as well as a rule.’ This makes no sense. We must not use the ‘and’ at all. Only then it will make sense.

Question 5 of 10
5. Question
While Pune had glorious chance (A)/ to win the game later on (B)/ in the second halves, Bengaluru (C)/ FC played their best football on (D)/ the first 45 minutes. (E)
Correct
Only B is correct.
A is wrong. It is clear that Pune had only one ‘chance’ at least that is what this sentence says. So we just use the ‘a’ in this part of the sentence, to clarify that they had one chance.
C is wrong because, there are two ‘halves’ in football. But individually they are ‘first half’ and ‘second half.’
D is wrong because, we can’t use ‘on’ here. It must be ‘in.’

Question 6 of 10
6. Question
Direction: (6-10) In the following question, a sentence is divided into five parts out of which the last part is correct. Out of the remaining four, there are errors in three parts. Choose the part which doesn’t have an error. If all four parts are correct, mark (E) i.e. All are correct as the answer.
Former England captain Kevin Pietersen played a vital role (A)/ to guide Quetta Gladiators to a six-wicket victory for (B)/ Misbah-ul Haq-lead Islamabad United (C)/ over their Pakistan Super League T20 (D)/ match on Wednesday.
Correct
Only Part A is correct.
Part B is wrong because two teams play ‘against’ each other in any kind of sport. They don’t paly for each other. Here too, Kevin Peterson’s team won ‘against’ Misbah-Ul-Haq’s team. The use of ‘for’ is wrong.
Part C is wrong because, the ‘lead’ used here means ‘a soft, heavy, ductile bluish-grey metal.’ The correct word that must be used here is ‘led.’ ‘Led’ is the past form of ‘lead’ which means ‘to be in charge.’
Part D is wrong because the use of ‘over’ is incorrect. ‘Over’ must be used to mean ‘extending directly upwards from.’ So it doesn’t make sense in this sentence. It must be ‘in.’

Question 7 of 10
7. Question
Nirav Modi and his uncle Mehul Choksi whose owner (A)/ of Gitanjali Gems, are suspicious of colluding (B)/ with bank officials at Punjab National Bank (PNB) (C)/ to obtain unauthorised loans on a (D)/ six-year period starting in 2011.
Correct
Only C is correct.
Part A is wrong the usag eof “whose owner” is incorrect here. “Whose” is a possessive pronoun and is used when you’re asking (or telling) whom something belongs to. The sentence given here does not convey this sense. It intends to tell that Nirav Modi and his uncle Mehul Choksi own Gitanjali Gems. Thus the term “who are the owners of” should be used.
Part B is wrong because, ‘suspicious’ is an adjective. But the use of this word implies that Nirav Modi and Mehul Choksi are suspicious about someone else. But the sentence has enough indications to imply that, they are the ones who are under suspicion and supervision. So the correct word is a verb, ‘suspicioned.’
Part D is wrong because, ‘on’ is used for a single day or in simple words, a single point of time. Here we have a time period i.e. six years. So the correct word is ‘over.’

Question 8 of 10
8. Question
Actor-turns-politician Kamal Haasan (A)/ today said his party Makkal Needhi (B)/ Maiam do not believe in implementation (C)/ of total prohibition as they will (D)/ bring in more harm.
Correct
Only Part B is correct.
Part A is wrong. The correct term should be ‘actor-turned-politician’, which means that a person who was formerly an actor, took up politics.
Part C is wrong because, the name of the party is singular, so we must use ‘does not’ instead of ‘do not’
Part D is incorrect as the subject to which “they” refers is “implementation”, which is singular. Thus, “its” should replace “they”.

Question 9 of 10
9. Question
Mr Haasan said this at a (A)/ time when majority opposition (B)/ political parties at Tamil Nadu (C)/ was demanding implementation of (D)/ total ban on sale of liquor in the state.
Correct
Only Part A is correct.
Part B is wrong. It is because majority is a noun, and opposition party is a noun too. We can’t frame this kind of sentence. The correct word is ‘major.’ Major means is an adjective and it means ‘important or significant.’
Part C is wrong because Tamil Nadu is the name of a state. So we must use ‘in.’
Part D is wrong because, ‘political parties’ is plural and therefore we must use ‘ were’ instead of ‘was.’

Question 10 of 10
10. Question
Four trains accidents in less (A)/ then 12 hours which killed seven (B)/ people and enjured 11 has again raised (C)/ questions over the railways’ safety record (D)/ and its competence to run trains safely. (E)
Correct
Only Part D is correct.
Part A is wrong because here we need not write the plural of ‘train.’ Although four is plural in number, we needn’t use ‘trains.’ It is because here we are not talking about trains. We are talking about train accidents. And the plural form of an accident has rightly been used.
Part B is wrong because the word ‘then’ used here is wrong. ‘Then’ is used to mean ‘at that time; at the time in question.’ But this word is wrong in the context of this sentence. Here the correct word is ‘than.’ It means ‘introducing the second element in a comparison.’
Part C is incorrect due to the incorrect spelling of ‘injured’.
