Direction (1-15): In the following question, some part of the sentence may have errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If a sentence is free from error, select 'No Error'.
Q1. The opulence of gold leaf decoration (A)/was not enough, the Catherine Palace built (B)/ in 1717 by Catherine I, has an Amber room. (C/ No Error (D)
A
B
C
D
Solution:
Add ‘as if’ before 'The opulence'. As if: used to describe how a situation seems to be; used when you are giving a possible explanation for something or saying that something appears to be the case when it is not. For e.g. They stared at me as if I was crazy.
Q2. Surprisingly there was free seating and (A)/ therefore one have to be (B)/ at the venue early. (C)/ No Error (D)
A
B
C
D
Solution:
Replace ‘have to be’ with ‘had to be’. The sentence is in ‘Past Indefinite Tense’ which will take past form of the verb with it.
Q3. Imbued at the magnificent art and (A)/ architecture of St. Petersburg, I reluctantly (B)/ tore myself from it. (C)/ No Error (D)
A
B
C
D
Solution:
There is a preposition related error. Replace ‘at’ by ‘with’. Imbue means inspire or permeate with (a feeling or quality) which takes the preposition ‘with’ with it.
Q4. A charming festival seeks to celebrate this oral tradition of storytelling, (A)/ bringing together artists from around the world (B)/ to rebel in this intangible heritage.(C)/ No Error (D)
A
B
C
D
Solution:
The beginning of the sentence takes place on a cheerful note leaving a positive impact on the reader which bags for the usage of affirmative words in subsequent part of the sentence. But ‘rebel’ (to refuse to obey rules or people in authority) doesn’t justify its use in any context. However ‘revel’: enjoy oneself in a lively and noisy way, especially with drinking and dancing, justifies its usage in the sentence thus fits in the context.
Q5. With the poetic backdrop of the city’s lakes and palaces, (A)/ Udaipur Tales will bring together artistes with strong storytelling (B)/ traditions from India and around the world.(C)/ No Error (D)
A
B
C
D
Solution:
No Error
Q6. Weddings may be made in heaven, (A)/ but they sure are planned, agonized (B)/ over and staged above earth. (C)/ No Error(D)
A
B
C
D
Solution:
There is a preposition related error. Replace ‘above’ with ‘on’. Above as a preposition stands for ‘in or to a higher place than’ which is not appropriate to use in the given context.
Q7. Unlike a supernova, the star does not (A)/ go on to die but returns to (B)/ its early state after the explosion. (C)/ No Error (D)
A
B
C
D
Solution:
Replace ‘early’ with ‘earlier’. Early(adj.): happening or done before the usual or expected time. Earlier (adj.): previous. Hence ‘earlier’ fits in the context.
Q8. Transient phenomena such as supernova (A)/ are important parts of time-domain astronomy (B)/ which is a less-explored frontier in astronomy.(C)/ No Error(D)
A
B
C
D
Solution:
Replace ‘supernova’ with its plural form ‘supernovae’. According to the subject-verb agreement rule, ‘Plural subject’ takes ‘plural verb’ with it.
