  1. Question 1 of 30
    1. Question

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

    She wished that her career could be as glamorous as the other women but not willing to work as they had.

    Hint

    The subject is absent from the sentence but if you complete the sentence you will find it should be “she wished that her career was as glamorous as the other woman’s career.” In sentences such as these where the noun is hidden, it is helpful to complete the noun to find the correct answer.

  2. Question 2 of 30
    2. Question

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

    Although he is liable to make political enemies with the decision, the Finance Minister will propose severe tax cuts that may both stimulate business and reduce the availability of loans.

    Hint

    Liable to means, it is an event that will happen. This is the only phrase which would fit in with the sense of the rest of the sentence. So there will be no change.

  3. Question 3 of 30
    3. Question

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

    No matter what experience you have had with forest fires, if you would have witnessed the fire roaring down through the canyon, you would have been terrified.

    Hint

    Would is a modal and it’s use here is unnecessary. There is a ‘would have’ in the second part of the sentence but it should not be repeated in the first one, because the use of ‘would have’ is done as a possibility of an affect of something done in past. So generally would have will be followed by a past perfect verb.

  4. Question 4 of 30
    4. Question

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

    Eaten in Portugal only, the Indians viewed the potato with suspicion for they assumed it had poisonous properties since only the white-skinned people consumed it.

    Hint

    The first part of the sentence is directed at a subject, which is ‘eaten in Portugal only’, i.e., the potato, therefore the comma should be followed by a phrase with potato as its subject and not Indians. The third answer choice is the right option because ‘suspicious to Indian’ is not an appropriate usage.

  5. Question 5 of 30
    5. Question

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

    It was my business to cross the bridge to explore the bridgehead and to find out the extent to which the enemy had advanced.

    Hint

    The correct sentence should read, “It was my business to cross the bridge to explore the bridgehead and to find out the point where the enemy had advanced.” The reason being the enemy had already advanced to that place. Therefore it’s a particular point or destination.

    Apollo was worshipped as long as the Roman Empire continued.

    Hint
