MOCK TEST (Questions Set 11) – Useful For WBCS, CGL/CHSL/MTS and WBP/KP Constable, etc

Sol. Use the preposition ‘at’ in the given space. When we talk about a local place (being there or living there), we use the preposition ‘at’. 

Sol. Use ‘not to go out’ in the given space. When we frame a negative sentence, we use the adverb ‘not’ first and then the infinitive form of the verb (to + v1).

Ex- He told me not to touch it. (Correct)

Ex- He told me to not touch it. (Incorrect)

Ex- I was told not to touch it. (Correct)

Ex- I was told to not touch it. (Incorrect)

Sol. Use ‘that are’ in the given space. The noun ‘mushrooms’ has already been mentioned before the blank space, so, the pronoun ‘that’ can be used here for the noun ‘mushrooms’.

Sol. Use ‘should have’ in the given space. The sentence is framed in the past tense talking about what theh subject suggested, so, ‘should have’ is the correct choice to be used here. 

Sol. Use ‘will have lived’ in the given space. The sentence talks about an activity that is still to be completed (by 2009). So, the sentence should be framed in the future perfect tense.

Sol. Use ‘had had (H.V + v3)’ in the given space. This is a conditional sentence of type 3. In a type 3 conditional sentence, the tense used in the "if" clause is the past perfect, and the tense used in the main clause is the perfect conditional or the perfect continuous conditional.

Structure: If + had + v3 ……., would/could/should have + v3. OR

Would/could/should have + v3 ……., if + had + v3.

Sol. Use ‘besides’ – in place of – ‘beside’.

Besides - also, in addition to

Ex- Do you play any other sports besides cricket?

Beside - close to something; at the side of; next to something

Ex- Come and sit here beside me.

Sol. Use ‘deserves’ - in place of - ‘deserve’. We use singular form of verb with ‘each of’.

Ex- Each of us wants to go to Delhi.

Sol. As we can see the preposition ‘for’ here, it means we are talking about the past time till now. So, the sentence should be in either present perfect tense or present perfect continuous tense.

Sol. Use ‘itself at a crossroads’ – in place of – ‘herself on a crossroads’. We have to use the pronoun ‘itself’ instead of ‘herself’ here, as the subject of the sentence (entertainment sector) is neutral here. ‘Itself’ is used as the object of a verb or preposition to refer to a thing or animal previously mentioned as the subject of the clause.
