  1. Question 1 of 25
    1. Question

    Replace the phrase given in bold to make it grammatically correct.

    Our foreign exchange reserves have been increased substantial.

    Hint

    The second choice is the correct answer because it expresses that the action is complete, i.e. our foreign exchange reserves have increased substantially. The sentence is the form of present perfect tense. The 1st answer choice would have fit in if the action would have begun in past and still continued, i.e. present perfect continuous tense.

    Replace the phrase given in bold to make it grammatically correct.

    Every novel activity will be likely to face resistance from vested interests.

  6. Question 6 of 25
    6. Question

    Replace the phrase given in bold to make it grammatically correct.

    We observed that traders were not primarily dedicated with art of selling.

    Hint

    7. Question

    Replace the phrase given in bold to make it grammatically correct.

    It is become equally clear that campaign against smoking will have little success until people realize its importance.

    The sentence is an illustration of present perfect tense, so it should use ‘has’ in place of ‘is’ because after reading the sentence it becomes clear as to what will be the consequences of the campaign.

  8. Question 8 of 25
    8. Question

    Replace the phrase given in bold to make it grammatically correct.

  11. Question 11 of 25
    11. Question

    Replace the phrase given in bold to make it grammatically correct.

    Expect for you and I, everyone brought a present to the party.

    Hint

    When the word ‘except’ is used, ‘me’ is used with it instead of I, so the most appropriate form of this phrase will be except for you and me.

  12. Question 12 of 25
    12. Question

    Replace the phrase given in bold to make it grammatically correct.

    Although I calculate that he will be here any minute, I cannot wait much longer for him.

    Hint

    ‘Calculate’ is not an appropriate word for this sentence, calculation is done on the basis of available facts with certain fixed rules. Whereas according to the sense of the sentence the person is only making a guess or a supposition. Thus ‘reckon’ is the most appropriate word that can be used to replace ‘calculate’.

  13. Question 13 of 25
    13. Question

    Replace the phrase given in bold to make it grammatically correct.

    Today this is a totally different world than we have seen in the last decade.

    Hint

    Different is used with ‘from’ e.g., “you are different from Ritu”. ‘Than’ is used for comparisons, e.g., “The world is more populated than it was in our time”.

  14. Question 14 of 25
    14. Question

    Replace the phrase given in bold to make it grammatically correct.

    Although he was the most friendly of all present and different from the others, he hadn’t hardly any friends except me.

    Hint

    When we use the word ‘hardly’, it implies a negative meaning, there is then no need to use ‘not’, so the most suitable use is “he hardly had any friends”.

  15. Question 15 of 25
    15. Question

    Replace the phrase given in bold to make it grammatically correct.

    Since we are living in Mumbai for five years, we are reluctant to move to another city.

    Hint

    The tense in this sentence should be the ‘present perfect continuous’ because it refers to an action that started at some time in the past and continues till the present time. So the right use is “have been living in Mumbai.”

  16. Question 16 of 25
    16. Question

    Replace the sentence given in bold to make it grammatically correct.

    As a child, my parents took me to Jammu to visit my grandmother.

    Hint

    As a child, should be followed by a phrase that has ‘child’ as its subject, i.e., “As a child I was taken by my parents to visit Jammu” or other ways, we can change the first part of the sentence, the second part describes an action so the first should be an adverb clause. Thus “when I was a child …” is the most suitable alternative.

  17. Question 17 of 25
    17. Question

    Replace the phrase given in bold to make it grammatically correct.

    Anyone interested in the use of computer can learn much if you have access to a state-of-the-an microcomputer.

    Hint

    ‘Anyone’ implies a person involved. So a personal pronoun will be needed to give conditions later in the sentence, there must be a ‘he’ or ‘one’ in the sentence. The noun cannot be in the second person but has to be in the third person because ‘Anyone’ refers to an unknown third person.

  18. Question 18 of 25
    18. Question

    Replace the sentence given in bold to make it grammatically correct.

    Start the motor, and then you should remove the blocks.

    Hint

    The use of the modal ‘should’ is unnecessary in this statement. It is a statement giving directions.

  19. Question 19 of 25
    19. Question

    Replace the phrase given in bold to make it grammatically correct.

    The Vice President of the local bank spoke for a half an hour and told his colleague that he, his colleague, must consider finding a new job, or accept a reduction in salary.

    Hint

    The part “… he, his colleague …” could easily be eliminated and a simpler form of “to + verb” can be used to make the sentence more appropriate. First choice is grammatically incorrect since it has omitted the article ‘an’. Second choice changes the meaning or intent of the underlined phrase. Third choice is the most suitable.

  20. Question 20 of 25
    20. Question

    Replace the phrase given in bold to make it grammatically correct.
