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

Explanation:

Were’ needs to be replaced with ‘was’ to make the sentence grammatically correct. This is because,‘If the subjects are joined by as well as, with, along with, together with, and not, in addition to, but, besides, except, rather than, accompanied by, like, unlike, no less than, nothing but, led by, headed by, guided by, controlled by, governed by,etc..Then the verb will agree with the first subject’ Thus, the correct sentence would be, ‘Coleridge as well as Wordsworth was of the opinion that the opposite of poetry os not prose but science’.

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

 

The flora and fauna of Cubbon Park captures our attention more than anything else. But when you take time to look closely at the statue, you will marvel at its sheer grandeur. Sculpted by Sir Thomas Brock, the 11 feet high marble statue is larger than life. It brings out the personality of Queen Victoria, who had been the Monarch of Great Britain from 1837 till 1901, depicting a rather proud, stern person with pronounced features.

In 1906, the statue was unveiled in the city by George Frederick Ernest Albert, Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall and York, making it stand in all its glory in its 111th year. Even though there is a wealth of history to the statue, and it was made to appear imposing, the busy Bengalureans would probably refer to it as just another landmark. As the workers are busy in discussion on the instructions given to them, life continues as usual in the Park.


Which of the following is false regarding the Queen Victoria statue in Bengaluru?

A) It is made of marble B) It is 11 feet tall
C) It is 111 years old D) It is standing in Queen Victoria park
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) It is standing in Queen Victoria park
