Mixed English Questions for IBPS PO and Other Exams — Set 463

Directions(1-5): In the given questions, a part of the sentence is printed in bold. Below the sentence alternatives to the emboldened part are given as (A), (B), (C) and (D) which may help improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative out of the given five options. In case the given sentence is correct, your answer will be (E), i.e., “No correction required”.

  1. Privatization (was made) these institutions financially sound, competitive and quality oriented.

    will make
    can made
    would making
    are made
    No correction required
    Option A
    The emboldened part is incorrect as the sentence is not given in passive voice and the structure “was made” is only followed in case of passive voice.

     

  2. Many unemployed youths (are sell) lottery tickets to earn their living, will face tough times.
    Which sells
    Was selling
    Who sell
    That sell
    No correction required
    Option C
    The error is in the use of helping verb. Instead of the verb “are”, the pronoun ‘who’ needs to be used to introduce a clause that would give further information about a person or people previously mentioned. Thus, option C is the correct answer.

     

  3. Labour unions are not banned in the other (economic advanced nations).
    Economics advanced nations
    Economically advanced nations
    Economically advance nation
    Economics advance nation
    No correction required
    Option B
    To make the statement grammatically correct, best response is ‘economically advanced nations’. Economically is an adverb which is supporting the word ‘advanced’ here.

     

  4. Uneducated individuals are less likely to make (politically sound decision) of voting for a right candidate.
    Political sounding decision
    Politically sounding decisions
    Politics sounds decision
    Politically sounds decision
    No correction required
    Option E

     

  5. Indian armed (forces are bad) in need of soldiers.
    Force on bad
    Forces is badly
    Force was bad
    Forces are badly
    No correction required
    Option D
    The correct choice for this question is “forces are badly” because the word ‘bad’ is used to modify ‘the need’. The word here represents the urgency of the situation and not a quality of the situation, hence ‘bad’ should be replaced by the adverb ‘badly’.

     

  6. Directions(6-9): Read the sentence to find out whether there is an error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number corresponding to that part will be your answer. If the given sentence is correct as given, mark option E, i.e. “No error” as the answer. Ignore the errors of punctuation.

  7. Sometimes, the souls (1)/ they sought were the (2)/ few feet from the ones (3)/ they claimed. (4)

    1
    2
    3
    4
    No error
    Option B
    The definite article “the” should be replaced by ‘a’ in part 2 because “the few” means all that is available and it does not fit in the context. On the other hand, “a few” gives a sense of ‘some’ and it fits in the context of the sentence.

     

  8. The stockman responsible for the royal herd (1)/ has revealed that the queen’s cows (2)/ have been kept away from (3)/ the shows among health fears. (4)
    1
    2
    3
    4
    No error
    Option D
    The preposition ‘among’ should be replaced by “amid” in the part 4 of the sentence because it does not fit in the context. “Amid” is more suitable here as it means surrounded by; in the middle of.. Hence, option D is correct.

     

  9. The cannonade on the left flank (1)/ will begin as soon as (2)/ the guns of the right (3)/ wing are heard. (4)
    1
    2
    3
    4
    No error
    Option E

     

  10. LIC is likely subscribe (1)/ non-convertible debentures (NCDs) worth up to Rs 4,000 crore ($551.32 million) (2)/ that IL&FS Group is planning to issue in order (3)/ to avail capital for servicing its debt. (4)
    1
    2
    3
    4
    No error
    Option A
    The error is in part 1 as there is no preposition ‘to’ after the verb subscribe to make the sentence grammatically correct. Note that to explain the probability we use ‘likely’ followed by ‘to’ and then the main ‘verb’. Hence option A is correct.

     

  11. Direction: In the question, a sentence with four words printed in bold is given. These are numbered as (1), (2), (3) and (4). One of these four words printed in bold may either be misspelt or inappropriate in the context of the sentence. Find out the word which is wrongly spelt or inappropriate, if any. The number of that word is your answer. If all the words printed in bold are correctly spelt and also appropriate in the context of the sentence, mark (5), i.e., ‘All are correct’, as your answer.

  12. There are no easy solutions(1) to the problems(2) of nuclear(3) waste desposal.(4)

    1
    2
    3
    4
    No error
    Option D
    ‘disposal’, which means the action or process of getting rid of something, is the right word and should replace the bold word given in part (4).

  14. 218906 403500The book is fantastic, but this review is not exactly spot-on. Being a Superhero is more about selecting foods that heal your body, not just eating meat/dairy-free. Processed foods like those mentioned in this review arent what Alicia is trying to promote. In case you arent open to sea vegetables (and yes, Im talking sea weed), just stop at vegan. 241953
