Q:

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response in the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter i.e., (a) or (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).

A) Nandita asked me B) if I was working
C) hardly these days D) No error
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) hardly these days

Explanation:

The error is in third part. The adjective hard has two different adverbs, and they express opposite meanings. The adverb hard is used to modify a verb and means that the action is being done very intensely. The adverb hardly is used to modify a verb and means that the action is not being done very intensely. So there the correct usage will be ‘working hard’.

Q:

In the given question, a statement divided into different segments is given. The first segment is fixed, rearrange the other segments to form a coherent statement.

The dissolution of the assembly/ in the state which was (P)/ was followed by a prolonged (Q)/ already marred with political instability (R)/ tug of war for seizing the power (S)

A) RSPQ B) QSRP
C) PSRQ D) PRQS
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) PRQS

Explanation:

Clearly, R and S can't follow the first segment. This eliminates option 1.

Option 2: It is incorrect since P ends with was, which can't be used to end the statement.

Option 3: It is incorrect since the statement can't end in 'by a prolonged'.

Option 4: It makes a coherent statement; hence put it on hold.

Option 5: It is incorrect because P ends in 'was' and Q begins with 'was'.

Two 'was' can't be used together. Hence, the correct sequence is PRQS.
