Q:

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

There's more than the 101-seater dining table at the Falaknuma Palace that is awe inspiring. The library done in rosewood and mahogany is a place that will force anyone to pause, if only to admire the fine original polish, the furniture and the walnut carved high roof. The last is supposedly an imitation of the one at Windsor Castle.

The library is almost the size of a large banquet hall and acts as the passage to other parts of the palace including the dining area. For years the palace had no librarian because they couldn't find the right person to do justice to the treasure trove of books collected by the Nizam's family over several decades. That is until they found Asif Husain Arastu who belongs to the family that owned the famous A A Husain book store in Abids. So when his friend and historian Anuradha Naik pointed out the palace's requirement at the library, Husain was delighted. On his very first day as the librarian at the magnificent Taj Falaknuma palace, Asif Husain found a reference book on 'How to paint grass' by Alfred East.

Name the author of the book that Mr Hussain found on his first day as the librarian?

A) Alfred East B) Anuradha Naik
C) Mark Twain D) Charles Dickens
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Alfred East

Q:

Correct the given sentence gramatically.

Shreya, who she is my best friend, is a singer.

A) Shreya, she who is my best friend, is a singer. B) Shreya, who is my best friend, is a singer.
C) Shreya, is my best friend, who she is a singer. D) All of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Shreya, who is my best friend, is a singer.

Explanation:

The relative pronoun acts as the subject or object of the relative clause. It replaces words like she, he, him, her, they, them etc.

It is, therefore, wrong to repeat the pronoun in the relative clause.

 

Hence, the correct sentence is Shreya, who is my best friend, is a singer.

Q:

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

That Brutus, who was his trusted friend(a) had attacked on him(b) caused heartbreak to Julius Caesar(c). No error.(d)

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

Explanation:

‘Attacked on him’ is the incorrect form of phrasal verb that needs to be replaced with ‘Attacked him’ to make the sentence correct. This is because; ‘Attack’ is not followed by any preposition. Thus, the correct sentence would be, ‘That Brutus, who was his trusted friend had attacked him caused heartbreak to Julius Caesar’.

Fluorine's electronegativity is 4.0

Hydrogen's electronegativity is 2.2

Sodium's electronegativity is 0.93)
