<h2 id="content-id-1224-3">Solutions of Easy Level Questions</h2>

Q:1 (4) Part D of the sentence is erroneous as instead of using a noun, a verb has been used in the given sentence. Concerned should be replaced by concern to make the sentence grammatically sound.

Q:2 (4) The plural form of hair remains the same. All of her hair is being talked about collectively, thus plural for will be used. Thus, ‘hairs’ is incorrect and should be replaced by ‘hair’. The only time we use ‘hairs’ is when we try to denote the singularity of each individual strand of hair.

Q:3 (3) Two nouns are being compared, so both should either be singular or plural. Given sentences talk about women and men in sports and the comparison is made between the two.

Q:4 (4) The error lies in the wrongful usage of the noun ‘experience’ in the given sentence. Although, the noun experience can be used in both singular and plural senses. In the given sentence, the plural sense will make the sentence sound both grammatically and contextually.

Q:5 (3) Always remember that ‘a great many’ is always followed by a plural noun and a plural verb. The verb is already in its plural form. The error lies in the given noun of the sentence i.e., question.

Q:6 (1) In the first part of the sentence, instead of a noun, an adverb is used. We are talking about a quality that is owned by Madhav and admired by others. Thus, the quality will be a noun. Honesty is an abstract noun.

Q:7 (3) The plural of tooth is teeth and not tooths. The general rule of suffixing ‘s’ behind a word is not applicable here.

Q:8 (2) The whole sentence is in singular form except for the noun order. Since the verb is singular in nature, we should use a singular noun.

Q:9 (3) Sakshi and Manisha are proper nouns. However, ‘girl’denotes only one specific girl. But, it should be ‘girls’ as two girls (nouns) i.e., Sakshi and Manisha are being talked about. Thus, a singular noun i.e., girl should be replaced with a plural noun i.e., girls.

Q:10 (4) Given that the opening clause’s tense, “was,” is simple past, the other clause’s tense must also be simple past in this situation. News requires a singular verb, per the Subject Verb Concord rules of the English language i.e., instead of ‘are’ we should use ‘is’.

<h2 id="content-id-1224-4">Solutions of Moderate Level Questions</h2>

Q:1 (2) In the given sentence the error lies in part B. ‘period’ means ‘a length or portion of time.’ So, the use of ‘time’ with it becomes redundant.

Q:2 (2) ‘Decisions’ which is the subject of the sentence is a plural noun and therefore, the helping verb related to it must be a plural verb or plural helping verb. Therefore, ‘require’ is correct here.

Q:3 (4) ‘Was’ should be used in place of ‘were’. Since the subject in the given sentence is ‘enhancement’ (which is singular). Hence, the verb used should also be singular in order to agree with the subject.

Q:4 (2) The correct idiomatic expression is ‘beat around the bush’ and not ‘beat around the bushes’. Beat around the bush (Idiom): To talk about lots of unimportant things because you want to avoid talking about what is really important.

Q:5 (5) In part C, the phrase says, “woman subjugation” which is incorrect. Here the plural noun “women” will be used to denote the “subjugation of” the whole gender.

Q:6 (2) In part B, the phrase says “gathering of” which means there were more than one protestor, hence it should be “gathering of protestors”.

Q:7 (3) The error lies in part C of the sentence, as the wrong plural form of the noun ‘mother-in-law’ has been used. The correct plural form is mothers-in-law since the plural form of adding ‘s’ has to be added to the noun and not the rest of the word.

Q:8 (1) In the given sentence an adjective has been erroneously used in place of a noun. The correct form is noun should be used i.e., instead of flexible, we will use flexibility.

Q:9 (2) There is no noun as mischiefs. The plural form of mischief is also mischief.

Q:10 (4) Whenever we use content to describe that something is contained in a book, a letter or anything else. Then we use the plural form of content, i.e., contents.

<h2 id="content-id-1224-5">Solutions of Hard Level Questions</h2>

Q:1 (4) In part D, the phrase says, “generate public unrest” which is incorrect. The correct for is “generates public unrest” as “strife” is a singular noun.

Q:2 (2) In the second part, we have to replace ‘has’ with ‘have’. The noun following the phrase “one of the” is always a plural noun, whereas the use of verbs as singular or plural will entirely depend upon the subject of the statement, i.e. singular verb for singular subject and plural verb for the plural subject. When ‘one of’ is used in the sentence, the Noun/ Pronoun coming after ‘of’ should be considered as antecedent and the verb is used accordingly.

Q:3 (3) Error in sentence A: The fourth part of sentence A has an error with the word “prospect”, the word here is used with a collective noun and should have a plural form so it should be “prospects”. Error in sentence B: In the second part of the sentence B, there is an error with the non-usage of article before the noun. Here, before the noun i.e. World Bank, article “the” should be used.

Q:4 (4) The word that seems to be wrong among the four emboldened ones is ‘bureaucrats’ because bureaucrats are the officials in a government department, in particular one perceived as being concerned with procedural correctness at the expense of people’s needs.

Q:5 (1) The word that seems to be wrong among the four emboldened ones is ‘extension’ as it seems irrelevant as per the sentence context.

Q:6 (4) Alphabet is a collective noun. It is inherently plural in nature as it is a set of letters. There are certain words that sound singular but are plural in nature, one such word is alphabet.

Q:7 (4) One score is equal to the number 20. Whereas the singular form of score is being written in the sentence instead of its plural form.

Q:8 (4) There are certain words that do not change their form and remain the same in both singular and plural forms. One such word is sheep. Thus, sheeps is wrong, the plural form of sheep is sheep only.

Q:9 (3) ‘Much’ is used with uncountable nouns. But when the noun is singular. Here, the noun ‘work’ is countable and plural in nature. Thus, the use of much before works is erroneous.

Q:10 (3) Five-year-old is a compound noun but here in the given sentence, it is being used as adjective because it is telling about children, which is a noun. Whenever a compound noun is used as an adjective, then we never keep anything plural in the compound noun.
