Q3. He was surprised as (A)/ well as pleased with (B)/ her performance.(C)/ No Error (D)
A
B
C
D
Solution:
Add ‘at’ after ‘surprised’. If two verbs take different prepositions, then both prepositions should be mentioned specifically after each verb being connected with a conjunction. Moreover ‘Surprise with' is used when you want to convey how one surprises the other and ‘Surprise at’ is used generally to indicate the cause of surprise. Hence ‘at’ is the correct preposition to use with ‘surprise’ in the given context.

Remove preposition ‘to’ before noun ‘home’. ‘Home’ doesn’t take any ‘preposition’ before it if the verbs qualifying it are ‘go’, ‘get’, ‘reach’, ‘arrive’ and ‘bring’.
Q5. Eyewitnesses said that the military police (A)/ still exchanged fires with the (B)/ attackers on last night. (C)/ No Error (D)

Solution:
Remove ‘on’ before ‘last night’. As ‘tonight, tomorrow morning, yesterday, yesterday evening, the last day, the next day’ don’t take prepositions before them.
Q6. She did die without (A)/ specifying her heirs of (B)/ those seven trusts. (C)/ No Error (D)

Heir ‘to’ some property and Heir ‘of’ somebody. This is the correct prepositional usage regarding ‘heir’ to be followed in the given context. Hence Part B has the error.
Q7. Since the Smiths are (A)/ very religious, they always try to (B)/conform with the practices of their faith. (C)/ No Error (D)
A

Replace ‘with’ by ‘to’. Conform ‘to’ a norm while Conform ‘with’ one’s opinion. This is the correct prepositional usage regarding ‘conform’ to be followed in the given context. Hence Part C has the error.
