was bright enough

No Improvement
Solution:
Get on (phrasal verb): step onto a vehicle Get around to (phrasal verb): finally find time to do Go over (phrasal verb): review Come down with (phrasal verb): fall sick Hence option A is correct.
Q8. The teacher asked them (to stop write) as soon as the peon long the bell.
to be stop writing
to stop writing
to stop written
No improvement
Solution:
Use ‘to stop writing’ in place of to ‘stop write’. The verb ‘Stop’ takes gerund form of verb i.e. V1 + ing. Hence option B is correct.
Q9. The robber (entered into) the old man’s room very quietly.
entered
entered in
entered inside
No Improvement
Solution:
Replace ‘entered into’ with ‘entered’ as enter itself means come or go into (a place). Hence it doesn’t take any preposition with it. Hence option A is correct.
Q10. As soon as our plan is approved, I shall favor (its’) adoption.
it
it's
its
No Improvement
Solution:
‘Its’ is a possessive determiner we use to say that something belongs to or refers to something. Here we need ‘its’ to modify the noun. Hence option C is correct.
Q11. We learnt that in Nubian culture the crocodile (has been considered) special.
is considered
was considered

Solution:
The sentence is in ‘Past Indefinite Tense’ which makes the usage of ‘was considered’ correct.
Q12. Do take an umbrella with you (lest you do not get well).
lest you might not get well
lest you should not get well
lest you should get well
No Improvement
Solution:
‘Lest’ takes modal ‘should’ with it but tends to give an affirmative appearance to the sentence with a negative meaning, thus not followed by negative words. Hence option C is an apt choice.
Q13. The department has been running programs (for the past two years).
from the past two years
since the past two years
the past two years
No improvement
Solution:
Present Perfect/Present Perfect Continuous Tense +………..For + Time. Moreover, ‘For’ is used for a period of time which fits well here. Hence no improvement is required.

Solution:
Simple present tense i.e. ‘Sub + V1 + s/es + Object’ is used in secondary clause if primary clause is in ‘Future Indefinite Tense’. Hence option A is correct.
