Q.1. We never really grow (a)/ up, we only learn (b)/ how to act in the public. (c)/ No error (d)
Ans. c
Sol. Use ‘public’ – in place of – ‘the public’. Remove the article ‘the’ used before the noun ‘public’, as, we are talking about ‘public’ in a general sense, not about the public of any specific area/sector/group.
Q.2. If there is anything the nonconformist hates (a)/ worse than a conformist, it’s another nonconformist who (b)/ doesn’t conform the prevailing standard of nonconformity. (c)/ No error (d)
Ans. c

Conform (v) = to behave according to the usual standards of behaviour that are expected by a group or society
Ex- The contract requires that managers conform to high standards of personal conduct.

Q.4. The bank is a place that will (a)/ lend you money if you can prove (b)/ that you don’t need it. (c)/ No error (d)
Ans. a
Sol. Use ‘a bank’ – in place of – ‘the bank’. We are not talking about any specific bank here, so, we don’t need to use the definite article ‘the’ here with noun ‘bank’. So, use the indefinite article ‘a’ with ‘bank’.
Q.5. Have you noticed that (a)/ all the people who are in favor of (b)/ birth control are already born? (c)/ No error (d)
Ans. d
Sol. No error
Q.6. I always arrive late at (a)/ the office, but I make off with (b)/ it by leaving early. (c)/ No error (d)
Ans. b

Make up for = to take the place of something lost or damaged; or to compensate for something bad with something good

Make off with = steal and hurry away
Ex- A young man made off with my briefcase while I was checking the timetable.
Q.7. By the time a man realises (a)/ that his father was right, (b)/ he had a son who thinks he is wrong. (c)/ No error (d)

(Note: the verb ‘was’ denotes the past time of a man’s father being right)
Q.8. High heels invented by (a)/ a woman who had (b)/ been kissed on her forehead. (c)/ No error (d)
Ans. a
Sol. Use ‘were invented by’ – in place of – ‘invented by’. The sentence is framed in the passive meaning.
Q.9. A stockbroker urged me to buy a stock that (a)/ would triple its value every year. I told him that at my age, (b)/ I didn’t even bought green bananas. (c)/ No error (d)
Ans. c

Q.10. They say marriages are (a)/ made in Heaven, but so (b)/ is thunder and lightning. (c)/ No error (d)
Ans. c
Sol. Use the helping verb ‘are’ – in place of – ‘is’. The sentence talks about the two things, ‘thunder’ and ‘lightning’, so, the plural verb ‘are’ should be used here.
Q.11. If you think you are (a)/ small too to make a difference, (b)/ then try to sleep with a mosquito. (c)/ No error (d)
Ans. b
Sol. Use ‘too small’ – in place of – ‘small too’. The adverb ‘too’ should be used before the adjective ‘small’.
Q.12. Everyone has the purpose (a)/ in life, and perhaps yours (b)/ is just watching television. (c)/ No error (d)
Ans. a
Sol. Use ‘a purpose’ – in place of – ‘the purpose’. Indefinite article ‘a’ should be used here instead of the definite article ‘the’, as we are talking about having a purpose in a general sense in our lives.
Q.13. As long as people will accept (a)/ crap, so long as it will be (b)/ financially profitable to dispense it. (c)/ No error (d)

Sol. Use ‘accept’ – in place of – ‘will accept’. The sentence is framed in a conditional form. It talks about the current (present) condition/possibility of accepting crap and the future probability of being selling these craps.
Q.14. A pessimist is a person (a)/ who has had to listen (b)/ too many optimists. (c)/ No error (d)
