Direction (1-15): Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.
Q1. The equipment is (adapted to) cotton industries.
adapted from
adapted for
adapted of
No improvement
Solution:
“Adapt to” generally means that something has changed to fit its own environment. For example, “People have adapted to the difficult living conditions in the Arctic.” “Adapt for” is an idiom that suggests to change or adjust something for a new or different purpose For example: “The vehicle was adapted for off-road travel by the engineering students at University X.” Thus, an equipment cannot adapt to something on its own. An equipment is adapted for cotton industries (by us).
Q2. What would the cavalry (doing) out here?
be doing
be done
done
No improvement
Solution:
“verb” which is used here is “would” and it is a modal which must take base form of verb, thus “be” should be used. And “be” takes V1 + ing with it. Thus “be doing” should be used.
Q3. She was uneasy because she (never be) on a plane before.
had never been
never been
is never been
No improvement
Solution:
“had never been” should be used as the beginning of the sentence is in Past Indefinite Tense which implies the usage of option A correct as it is past form.
Q4. No one knows how he escaped (dash) to pieces.
being dash
being dashed
dashed
No improvement
Solution:
“being dashed” is the correct term to use as “escaped” is a verb which will take a noun after it and “being” which acts as a gerund is a noun as well. However, “being” takes 3rd form of verb and it takes passive form after it. So “dashed” will be used. thus option B is correct.
Q5. She glanced back to make sure she (wasn’t be) observed.
wasn’t to be
weren’t being
wasn’t being
No improvement
Solution:
“was not being” is the correct term to use as being implies a continuation which fits in the context grammatically as well.
Q6. Would you mind (to carrying) this bag for me.
carries
carrying
carry
No improvement
Solution:
“mind” is a main verb which will take object after it, thus “carrying” is a gerund which can act as an object of “mind”, thus option B is correct.
