Answer 1

Answer:

1. The woman in her awoke and she cried.

2. My friend completed her MBA from Oxford.

3. Delhi is the "London of India."

4. The sun sets in the east.

5. She is the best candidate among all of the applicants.

6. The more you get, the more you want.

7. Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics.

8. Iron is the most useful metal.

9. Ram met a European last year.

10. Samrat completed an MA in graphic design.

Explanation:

1. I assume this is supposed to be a poetic phrase of sorts.

2. 'completed' is better parlance, and must be prefaced with 'an.'

3. 'The' is the better article adjective, as there can only be one city earning this specific title.

4. Adding 'the' qualifies the noun 'sun,' and 'east' is a non-specific direction and thus does not require capitalization.

5. Using the superlative 'best' almost always requires 'the.' Adding 'candidates' adds specificity. Otherwise it begs the question, all what? People? Monkeys? Etc.

6. I don't think the comma is technically necessary but is useful for clarity.

7. 'The' is better because it's a specific prize. Had the sentence not specified it was the Nobel, one could use 'a' instead. 'Physics' is capitalized because it's the name of the prize itself, making it a proper noun. 1921 shifted for brevity.

8. 'Most' must be added because of the word, 'the.' If the article adjective was instead 'a,' one wouldn't need the word 'most' and it could be omitted (ie, 'Iron is a useful metal.')

10. Because 'MA' is pronounced, 'em ay,' the M takes a vowel-like sound requiring the article adjective 'an' instead of 'a.' Saying 'did an MA' is sloppy, and should be a word instead like 'earned' or 'completed.'
