Q:

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any part

Though he is a gifted comedian(a), he prefers spend his spare time(b) watching horror movies(c). No error.(d)

A) a B) b
C) c D) d
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) b

Explanation:

‘Prefer’ is followed by the gerund form of the verb. Thus, ‘spend’ needs to be replaced with ‘spending’ to make the sentence grammatically correct. Thus, the correct sentence would be, ‘Though he is a gifted comedian, he prefers spending his spare time watching horror movies.

Q:

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

My coat's pretty warm, even though it cost £9.99 and came from the flea market. It had a label in it, CHRISTIN BIOR, but I cut it out as soon as I got home. You can't work where I work and have CHRISTIN BIOR in your coat. You could have a genuine vintage Christian Dior label. Or something Japanese. Or maybe no label because you make your clothes yourself out of retro fabrics that you source at Alfies Antiques. But not CHRISTIN BIOR.

As I get near Catford Bridge, I start to feel a knot of tension. I really don't want to be late today. My boss has started throwing all sorts of hissy fits about people "swanning in at all times," so I left an extra twenty minutes early, in case it was a bad day. I can already see: It's a god-awful day. They've been having a lot of problems on our line recently and keep cancelling trains with no warning. Trouble is, in London rush hour, you can't just cancel trains. What are all the people who were planning to get on that train supposed to do? Evaporate?

What aspect of the coat she wanted to hide?

A) That is was too warm. B) That it was a cheap copy.
C) That it was expensive. D) That it was from a luxury market.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) That it was a cheap copy.

Q:

Improve the given sentence if necessary.

Ramesh is working in this factory for the past three months.

A) has been working B) has been worked
C) had worked D) No improvement
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) has been working

Explanation:

If some action has started in the past and is still continuing, then present perfect continuous tense should be used instead of present continuous tense. So, the phrase ‘is working’ needs to be replaced with ‘has been working’ to make the sentence contextually correct. Thus, the correct formation would be, ‘Ramesh has been working in this factory for the past three months’.
