Q:

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.


Implanting standards, right values, the science of good and evil are an essential part of education. Many forces thwart this to work, but two of the most serious hindrances to it are examinations and specialization. The examination system is both an opiate and a poison. It is an opiate because it lulls Man into believing that all is well when most is ill. It is a poison because it paralyses or at least slows down the natural activities of the healthy mind. Man finds himself a creature of unknown capacities in an unknown world, wants to learn what the world is like, what he should be and do in it. To help him in answering these questions is the one and only purpose of education. However, tests of progress are useful and necessary. Examinations are harmless when the examinee is indifferent to their result, but as soon as they matter, they begin to distort his attitude to education and to conceal its purpose. For disinterestedness is the essence of all good education and liberal education is impossible without it.

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) Although we reached his house on time B) he was left
C) for the airport. D) No error
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) he was left

Explanation:

The error is in second part. In the given sentence two events occur one after the other. ‘He left’ before ‘we reached’. So, the event that was completed before the occurrence of the next event shall be expressed in past perfect tense. Therefore, the correct form of verb will be “had left”.
