    Option D

    Only I
    Only II
    Only III
    Both II and III

    II. After
    III. On carefully review of

    Only II
    Only III
    Only II and III
    None of these

    Only I
    Only II

  9. Directions(9-10): In the given question, a sentence is divided into four parts. 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.

  10. She would be false (A)/ modest not to knowledge that (B)/ she come a very (C)/ long way since those early days. (D)
    A
    B
    C
    D
    All are correct
    Option D
    Only part D is correct. The rest are incorrect as described below:
    A: “false” is an adjective which describes another adjective “modest”. This is a grammatical error. It should be “falsely”, an adverb, instead of “false”.
    B: the to-infinitive is followed by a verb, not a noun (knowledge).
    C: the sentence is not in the present tense, as the act of coming a long way is already done. The correct tense, in this case, should be present perfect (has come). Using the present perfect, we can define a period of time before now by considering its starting point, with since + a point in time.

     

  11. She deduced to make a (A)/ virtue of necessity and combined (B)/ a business trip at Paris with (C)/ a visit with her cousins there. (D)
    A
    B
    C
    D
    All are correct
    Option B
    Only part B is correct. The rest are incorrect as described below:
    A: to deduce means to arrive at (a fact or a conclusion) by reasoning. This is not the case here, as she just planning her trip.
    C & D: a trip is planned to somewhere as the speaker is yet to arrive at Paris. So, it should be “to” instead of “at” in part C and “to” instead of “with” in part D.
