Solutions
S1. Ans.(c)
Sol. There is no such word as ‘intacted’. Hence replace ‘intacted’ with proper adjective ‘intact’ which means ‘not damaged or impaired in any way; complete’.
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. Place article “a” before “movie”. If noun is placed after such, quite, rather, how etc. we use ‘a’ before that noun.
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. Here, “The employers, whom I worked with” is the right usage. “Whom” is used in-stead of “who” as the Object of a Verb or Preposition in subordinate clause.
S4. Ans. (c)
Sol. Replace ‘a patience listening’ with ‘a patient listening’.
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. Use ‘administrative’ (adjective) in place of ‘administration’ (noun).
S6. Ans. (a)
Sol. Avoid take gerund form (V1+ing) of verb with it. Hence replace ‘avoid to use’ with ‘avoid using’.
E.g.- You should avoid drinking.
S7. Ans. (c)
Sol. Remove ‘that’ from part (c). Its usage is superfluous here. Hence “He wanted a room and his luggage would follow” is the correct statement.
S8. Ans. (a)
Sol. The phrase ‘put on’ means ‘wear’ or ‘apply’. Thus “on” should not be used.
S9. Ans. (b)
Sol. ‘Of’ is the correct preposition to use with ‘chance’.
S10. Ans.(d)
