Q:

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

When I finished writing the letter,(a) I could not help admiring myself to have(b) achieved the impossible(c). No error.(d)

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

Explanation:

The modal ‘Could’ is used to express possibility. It is simply used to state one or more things that are possible or were possible in the past. In this statement, ‘to have achieved’ needs to be replaced with ‘for achieving’ to make the sentence correct. Thus, the correct sentence would be, ‘When I finished writing the letter, I could not help admiring myself for achieving the impossible’.

Q:

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

 


Many plays and films have depicted the life story of Gautama Buddha, but what made the musical play The Way Across unique was its regional focus. Directed by G. Kumara Swamy, the play adapted from the book Telangana lo Buddhism focused on the enlightenment of a cursed Brahmin Bawari and his 16 curious disciples willing to understand the deeper truths of birth, death, rebirth and brotherhood.

 

From the impressive use of projector visuals, music and shadow-play, there was every effort to lend authenticity to the theme. Despite the play's focus on Telangana, the native essence was compromised, due to the English rendition (done for a wider reach). The lines appeared jaded with literal translations. The honest performances from the crew impacted only on a surface-level. Kiran Kumar's Bawari act and Krishna Chaitanya Joshi as Pingiya (said to have propagated Buddhism from Telangana to several regions across South India) grab your attention.

 

Who directed the play, 'The Way Across'?

A) Kiran Kumar B) G. Kumara Swamy
C) Chaitanya Joshi D) Bawari
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) G. Kumara Swamy
