  6. Its no surprise that (A)/ the Bank of India (B)/ have one of the (C)/ largest store of gold in the world. (D)
    A
    B
    C
    D
    All are correct
    Option B
    In part A, it should be ‘it’s’ rather than ‘its’. It’s is a contraction of “it is” or “it has.” ‘Its’ is a possessive determiner we use to say that something belongs to or refers to something.
    In part C, ‘have’ is incorrect. It should be ‘has’ to maintain the subject-verb agreement since the subject (Bank of India) is singular.
    In part D, ‘store’ is incorrect. The plural form of the word should be used after ‘one of the’. Hence, it should be ‘stores’.

     

  7. Some of a (A)/ most efficient refrigerator (B)/ consumes 70 percent less (C) electricity than traditional models. (D)
    A
    B
    C
    D
    All are correct
    Option D
    In part A, ‘a’ is incorrect. We use ‘the’ before the superlative form.
    In part B, plural form is required while a singular form (refrigerator) is used. It should be replaced with ‘refrigerators’ to form a correct sentence.
    In part C, ‘consumes’ is erroneous. It should be ‘consume’ to maintain the subject-verb agreement.

     

  8. The pharmacist carefully (A)/ measured out a dose (B)/ of herbal medicine and (C)/ told me how to brew it. (D)
    A
    B
    C

    Option E

     

  9. The US tops the list holding (A)/ more than one-fifth or the total proven (B) coal reserve, while China, which ranks (C)/ third, is a biggest producer and consumer of coal. (D)
    A
    B
    C
    D
    All are correct
    Option A
    In part B, ‘for’ is incorrect. It should be replaced with ‘of’ because ‘of’ expresses the relationship between a part and a whole.
    In part C, ‘reserve’ is incorrect. Plural form should be used after a fraction. Hence, it should be ‘reserves’.
    In part D, ‘a’ is incorrect. We use ‘the’ before the superlative form.

     

  10. As the people (A)/ was generally poor (B)/ he seldom or ever (C)/ had some trouble with them. (D)
    A
    B
    C
    D
    All are correct
    Option A
    Part B: People is a plural noun therefore, verb must be plural i.e. were.
    Part C: ‘Seldom or ever’ is incorrect. It should be ‘seldom or never’ (The correct expressions are ‘seldom or never’ and ‘seldom if ever’).
    Part D: ‘Seldom or never’ is used to refer to the things that almost never happen. ‘Some’ is used in positive statements. However, the sentence implies that since people were poor, he hardly had any problem with them. Therefore, ‘some’ must be replaced with ‘any’.

     

  11. The idea of a crossroads is a (A)/ difficult concept to pin down (B)/ because we have to distinguish (C)/ between different types of changes. (D)
    A
