The correct answer is '3' i.e. much problems.

Key Points

• The segment "much problems" in the sentence is grammatically incorrect because "much" is used with uncountable nouns, while "problems" is a countable noun.
• The correct usage should be "many problems" because "many" is used with countable nouns.

Corrected Sentence: In spite of facing many problems, she did not lose hope.

The correct answer is '4' i.e. potential as unique .

Key Points

• The phrase "potential as unique" is grammatically incorrect.
• In this context, "potentially" should be used as it is an adverb modifying the adjective "unique".
• The word "potential" is a noun and does not fit in this context where an adverb is required.

Correct sentence: Since canine brain structures and processes are potentially as unique and complex as ours, it will require years of tests to decipher how they work.

Additional Information

• Adverbs modify adjectives, verbs, or other adverbs and often end in "-ly".
• Adjectives modify nouns and pronouns. In this case, "unique" is an adjective describing the noun "brain structures and processes".
• Ensuring proper modification is essential for accurate and clear communication.

Key Points

• The error is in the phrase "it be much quicker".
• This phrase lacks the correct form of the verb 'to be'.
• It should be "will be much quicker" to properly indicate the future tense.

Additional Information

• The future tense in English is often formed using "will" followed by the base form of the verb.
• Examples:
  • Correct: "When the new road is finished, it will be much quicker."
  • Incorrect: "When the new road is finished, it be much quicker."

The correct answer is '​too lately to join the meeting'.

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'too late to join meeting' should be used instead of 'too lately to join the meeting'.
• The word "lately" is an adverb that means "recently," while the word "late" is an adjective that means "after the expected or usual time." In this sentence, the correct word to use is "late" because it is describing the time at which the person arrived to join the meeting.
• The phrase "too late" means that the person arrived after the appropriate or expected time and therefore cannot join the meeting. The adverb "-ly" suffix is not needed because "late" is an adjective in this context, not an adverb.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.
   

Correct Sentence: Tamim apologized for arriving late but it was too late to join the meeting. 

The correct answer is '3' i.e. Chetan's room is clean .

Key Points

• The given sentence is a comparison between the cleanliness of Chetan's room and Ram's room.
• The phrase "Chetan's room is clean" should be "Chetan's room is cleaner" to correctly indicate that it is more clean than Ram's room.
• The correct comparative form is "cleaner" instead of "clean".

Correct sentence: Chetan's room is cleaner than Ram's room because Chetan cleans it more often than Ram.

The correct answer is 'A'.

Key Points

• Whenever we see the structure like 'as....as' and 'so....as', we use a positive degree of adjective/adverb.
  • For example, "The thief ran as fast as he could."
• However, we use 'as + adjective/adverb + as' to make comparisons when the things we are comparing are equal in some way(in a positive way).
• Whereas, 'not so + adjective/adverb + as' is always used in a negative way.
• Similarly, in the given sentence, Goa is being negatively portrayed & compared. So, the structure 'not so........as' will be used.
• Thus the correct sentence is: "Goa is not so good as I thought it to be," said Ragini to Nooran.

The correct answer is Option 1) i.e A.

 If different prepositions are needed with different adjectives, suitable prepositions must be used with each of them.

• For example:
  • ​Sharman is junior and less experienced than him.
  • ​Sharman is junior to and less experienced than him.
• ​​Hence according to the given rule and example, 'to' will be used before the conjunction 'and' in the 2nd part.

Let's look at an important rule regarding the usage of prepositions with some adjectives:

• The following adjectives are always followed by 'to' and not 'than'.
• ​Junior, senior, superior, inferior, prior, anterior, posterior.

Correct sentence- "David is superior to and richer than most of his friends in his village."

The correct answer is option 1)

Explanation:
'unfortunate' is an adjective while 'unfortunately' is an adverb. We use adjectives to qualify a noun, so 'unfortunate' should be there.
The correct sentence is: 'The unfortunate student failed the examination as he scored a few marks less than the marks required to pass.'

Confusion Points

• The correct English usage dictates that the phrase involving the term 'examination' is not supposed to have the preposition 'in' contrary to popular belief
• Thus one fails the examination and not fail in the examination

• According to the rule, before possessives, determiners such as ‘all’, ‘both’, half’, etc. are used.
• Let’s see an example-
  1. She loves both her daughters equally and distributed the property evenly between them.
• Hence, ‘all my documents’ should be used instead of ‘my all documents’ to make the sentence correct.

 So, the correct sentence is - “I lost the bag in which I had all my documents, certificates, and academic records. I have a job interview tomorrow where I need all these things, and I have no clue what will happen. I lodged a police complaint, but within this short time, nothing is possible.” 

The correct answer is 'the more'.
Key Points 

• The given above sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• The given sentence is an example of the superlative adjective.
• Superlative adjectives are adjectives that compare the traits of three or more nouns.
• As per the general rule, we add the definite article 'the' and add 'most' to adjectives that have 3 or more syllables for the superlative form.
• Let’s have a look at the structural form of the given rule:
  • Noun (subject) + verb + the + superlative adjective + noun (object).
• Example:
  • expensive– most expensive
  • difficult – most difficult
• ​Example in a sentence: 
  • ​One of the most appealing things about Alex was his confidence. (correct)
  • One of the more appealing things about Alex was his confidence. (incorrect)
• ​Here, in the given above sentence, 'the more' is used as a superlative form, which is wrong according to the rule.
• According to the explanation that is given above, ‘the most’ is the correct use in place of “the more”.
   

Correct sentence: Mr. Bansal is the most methodical person in our office staff.

The erroneous part is 'much interesting stories than this.'

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'more interesting stories than this' should be used instead of 'much interesting stories than this'.
• In the latter part of the sentence 'than' is used. Hence, the given sentence is an example of a comparative degree.
• The comparative degree is generally formed by adding '-er' to the end of the adjective followed by 'than'. This is the case of monosyllabic adjectives.
• On the contrary, in the case of polysyllabic adjectives, the adjectives remain the same and use the word 'more' before the adjective. 
• In the given context 'interesting' is a polysyllabic adjective. Thus, 'more' should be added before it.
  • Example: She is more cheerful than her sister.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 1.​

Correct Sentence: This story is quite interesting, but I have read more interesting stories than this.

The correct answer is Option 1) i.e A.

 The adverb 'else' is followed by 'but' whereas 'rather', 'other/otherwise', are followed by 'than'.

• For example:
  • ​The teacher would rather slap him but beat.
  • ​​​​The teacher would rather slap him than beat.
• ​​Hence, according to the given rule, we will use 'than' instead of 'but' the 1st part.

 In case of 'rather', the verb used after 'than' will always be the 1st form of the verb.

Correct sentence- "I had no other option than to go for the CDS examination as I had a predilection for it."

The erroneous part is 'the noisy park party'.

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'the noisiest park party' should be used instead of 'the noisy park'.
• A superlative adjective expresses the extreme or highest degree of quality.
• We use a superlative adjective to describe the extreme quality of one thing in a group of things. 
• We should add -er for the comparative and -est for the superlative.
  • Example: Your dog ran the fastest of any dog in the race.
• If the adjective has a consonant + single vowel + consonant spelling, the final consonant must be doubled before adding the ending.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 2.
   

Correct Sentence: It turned out to be the noisiest park party anybody had ever attended.

The correct answer is option 4) i.e. BKey Points

• In comparative degree 'than' is used but for comparative adjectives ending with like superior, inferior, senior, junior, prior, anterior, posterior, exterior we have place ‘to' after them and not ‘than’.
• In the sentence, the word is used preferably. Here preferable is derivative of prefer.   
  • Example:  She is a senior than me. ❌(Incorrect)

                                       She is a senior to me. ✔️(Correct)

Additional Information   

• There are also a few comparative adjectives ending in –or. All of these words were borrowed from Latin.
• They are: interior, exterior, ulterior, major, minor, inferior, superior, junior, senior, anterior, posterior and prior.
• Five of these words 'interior, exterior, ulterior, major, minor' have lost their comparative meaning. They are now used as positive adjectives.
  • Example: He had a major accident.
  • Example: He sustained minor injuries.
  • Example: She is an interior designer.
  • Example: These awnings complement the exterior of your home.
  • Example: I suspect he has some ulterior motives.

Correct sentence:  'This book is undoubtedly preferable to that and its printing is also comparatively good.'✔️

The erroneous part is 'of large joy'.

Key Points

• Large is an adjective that is used to describe the physical aspects of a noun. 
• This means large is used to describe the physical size of the noun succeeding it. 
• But the noun in the given sentence is 'joy' is an abstract noun. 
• Abstract nouns do not have a physical presence. 
• Hence, the error lies in using 'large' to describe it. 
• So, option 4 is the correct answer. 
• We can make the sentence correct by using 'big' which can refer to the physical size of an object, but it also means that something is serious or important.
• We can also eliminate the word to make the sentence grammatically correct. 

Correct sentence - Topping the exam / was a moment / of big joy / for Neeru.
