Q:

Four statements are given below at A, B, C and D. There may be some errors in the given statement(s). The incorrect statement is your answer.

A) Racing for the bus, her bag flew open and all the documents were lost.	B) As she raced for the bus, her bag flew open making the documents lost.
C) Racing for the bus, her bag flung open and all the documents were lost.	D) The documents were lost, when racing for the bus, her bag flung open.

Answer & Explanation Answer:

Explanation:

Options A, C and E in the absence of a proper subject add the ‘bag’ automatically to the verb ‘racing for the bus’. So, it does not make any sense as it would mean that the bag is racing for the bus. Option B is incorrect because of the fragment ‘making the documents lose’. Option D doesn't convey the proper meaning.

Q:

If you had the chance to start your career over again, what would you do differently ?

Answer

This depends on several factors. Different Individuals have different answers for it.
You can answer as - " I will most likely be involved in a different but still related career path; something to do with the creative side. If I were to start over I would attempt to get myself to specialize in one area as a young man. It’s very interesting to follow one’s interests all at the same time, but you don’t get anywhere very quickly this way. By pursuing lots of interests all at the same time, it takes a long, long time to acquire professional level skills."
