Q.1. The private sector is responding (a)/ as well, sometimes proactive and sometimes (b)/ concurrent with government mandates. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. b
Sol. Use ‘proactively’ – in place of – ‘proactive’. An adverb is required here for the verb ‘responding’, so, we have to use the adverb ‘proactively’ instead of the adjective ‘proactive’.
Q.2. There was a news report about scientists in (a)/ a Belgian university experimenting to larva fat (b)/ in waffles, cakes, and cookies. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. b
Sol. Use the preposition ‘with’ – in place of – ‘to’. ‘Experiment with’ is the right usage.
Q.3. The idea of matches taking (a)/ place with empty stands (b)/ seem like a good idea. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. c
Sol. Use the singular verb form ‘seems’ – in place of – ‘seem’. The subject of the sentence is ‘the idea’, which is singular in nature, so, the singular form of verb ‘seems’ should be used here instead of the plural form ‘seem’.
Q.4. Played behind closed doors takes (a)/ away a vital cog, but (b)/ sport still remains. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. a
Sol. Use ‘Playing’ – in place of – ‘played’. We have to gerund form ‘playing’ here. A gerund can be sued as a subject, because, a gerund is a verbal noun. We cannot use any participle as a subject of any sentence.
Q.5. Much is going to depend on (a)/ the abilities of (b)/ the Afghan National Army to confront the Taliban forces. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. d
Sol. No error
Q.6. A disruption in one domain (a)/ often cascades into parallel (b)/ disruptions at other domains. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. c
Sol. Use the preposition ‘in’ – in place of – ‘at’. ‘Disruption in’ is the right usage, and it is also used in the earlier part of the sentence.
Disruption (n) = the action of preventing something, especially a system, process, or event, from continuing as usual or as expected
Ex- The accident brought widespread disruption on the roads.
Q.7. We can see a blame game erupting between (a)/ China and United States which do not augur well (b)/ for international cooperation and leadership. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. b
Sol. Use the helping verb ‘does’ – in place of – ‘do’. The verb should be used here according to the relative pronoun ‘which’, and the relative pronoun ‘which’ is used here for ‘the United Sates’, which is singular in nature, so, the singular verb ‘does’ should be used here instead of the plural verb ‘do’.
Q.8. India has always professed its desire to have friendly relations (a)/ with all countries but has been equally firm in safeguarding (b)/ its interests when it is threatened. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. c
Sol. Use ‘these are’ – in place of – ‘it is’. After the conjunction ‘when’, the sentence talks about ‘its interests/India’s interests’, which are plural in nature, so, the plural pronoun ‘these’ should be used here with the plural verb ‘are’.
Q.9. The resistance especially in United States (a)/ and United Kingdom, for facial recognition (b)/ software, has been baffling. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. b
Sol. Use the preposition ‘against’ – in place of – ‘for’. ‘Resistance against’ is the right usage.
Resistance (n) = the act of fighting against something that is attacking you, or refusing to accept something
(Note: preposition ‘against’ and ‘to’, both are used the noun ‘resistance’.)
Q.10. Learning foreign languages (a)/ is an expensive and a (b)/ far-fetched dream once. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. b
Sol. The very adverb ‘once’ tells us that the sentence talks about the past time. So, the verb singular verb ‘was’ should be used here instead of ‘is’, as, the subject of the sentence is ‘learning’ here, which is singular in nature.
Q.11. From learning to cook and playing indoor badminton (a)/ to reading statistic to their cats, the (b)/ Chinese are finding ways to time pass at home. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. c
Sol. Use ‘pass time’ – in place of – ‘time pass’. After the preposition ‘to’, we need a verb, so, we have to use ‘pass’ as a verb here.

Ans. d
Sol. No error
Q.13. Not everyone appreciate (a)/ Korean pop culture’s (b)/ influence on the youth. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. a
Sol. Use ‘appreciates’ – in place of – ‘appreciate’. The subject of the sentence is ‘everyone’, which is singular in nature, so, the singular form ‘appreciates’ should be used here instead of the plural form ‘appreciate’.
Q.14. Curled up in the yawning (a)/ arms of the Indian Ocean stand (b)/ the Galle Fort, a quaint walled city. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. b
Sol. Use ‘stands’ – in place of – ‘stand’. The subject of the sentence is ‘curled up’, which is singular in nature, so, the singular form ‘stands’ should be used here instead of the plural form ‘stand’.
Q.15. Songbirds around the world are renowned (a)/ by their famous morning “chorus”, something for which (b)/ birders and nature-lovers will awake at unearthly hours. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. b
Sol. Use the preposition ‘for’ – in place of – ‘by’. ‘Renowned for’ is the right usage. The word ‘renowned’ is an adjective, which means the state of being famous.
Ex- The region is renowned for its natural beauty.
Q.16. I commend people for their (a)/ matured response (b)/ in the face of the crisis. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. b
Sol. Use ‘mature’ – in place of – ‘matured’. We need an adjective before the noun ‘response’. The word ‘mature’ is an adjective and ‘matured’ is a past participle of the verb ‘mature’.
Q.17. India needs to gear up its testing facilities and number (a)/ of beds to deal in pandemics such as the coronavirus, which (b)/ seem to break out once a decade, if not earlier. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. b
Sol. Use ‘deal with’ – in place of – ‘deal in’.
Deal with something = to take action in order to achieve something or in order to solve a problem
Ex- How do you intend to deal with this problem?
Deal in something = to buy and sell particular goods as a business
Ex- They mainly deal in rare books.
Q.18. We need to identify coronavirus-infected patients (a)/ in a timely manner in order to increase our (b)/ chances of preventing secondary infections. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. d
Sol. No error
Q.19. Dancers and musicians have not just cancelled (a)/ shows, many of them have joined hands with (b)/ authorities in reaching out to people on how to combat the dead virus. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. c
Sol. Use ‘deadly’ – in place of – ‘dead’. We need an adjective before the noun ‘virus’. Now, both ‘dead’ and ‘deadly’ are adjectives but the meaning is different. The sentence talks about the virus that causes death, means it is harmful. The sentence doesn’t talk about any dead virus here. So, we have to use the adjective ‘deadly’ here.
Deadly (adj./adv.) = likely to cause death
Ex- Doctors fear possible epidemics of cholera, malaria and other deadly diseases.
Dead (adj./adv.) = not living now
Ex- She’s been dead for 20 years now.
Q.20. One in every six humans beings (a)/ happens to be Indian but India contributes (b)/ about three cents for every dollar of world GDP. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. a
Sol. Use ‘human beings’ – in place of – ‘humans beings’. The plural form of the noun ‘human’ is ‘humans’. On the other hand, the plural form of ‘human being’ is ‘human beings’, not ‘humans beings’ or ‘humans being’.
