- A.
  
  Yes

Which out of the following is grammatically correct:
- A.
  
  We ran for one and half hour only
- B.
  
  We ran for about an hour and a half
Correct Answer
B. We ran for about an hour and a half

Explanation
The second option, "We ran for about an hour and a half," is grammatically correct. This sentence follows the standard structure of stating the duration of an activity using the phrase "for about" followed by the specific time duration, in this case, "an hour and a half." The first option, "We ran for one and a half hour only," is grammatically incorrect because it should be "one and a half hours" to match the plural form of "hour."

Which out of the following is grammatically correct:
- A.
  
  When I was doing my schooling I played basketball
- B.
  
  I played basketball in school
Correct Answer
B. I played basketball in school

Explanation
The second option, "I played basketball in school," is grammatically correct. It follows the standard sentence structure with a subject (I), a verb (played), and an object (basketball). It also uses the correct preposition "in" to indicate the location (school) where the basketball was played. The first option, "When I was doing my schooling I played basketball," is grammatically incorrect because it uses an awkward phrasing ("doing my schooling") and does not specify the location where the basketball was played.

Which out of the following is grammatically correct:
- A.
  
  I am liking it very much
- B.
  
  I like it very much
Correct Answer
B. I like it very much

Explanation
The correct answer is "I like it very much." This is grammatically correct because the verb "like" is a stative verb, which means it describes a state or condition rather than an action. Stative verbs are not typically used in the continuous form (ending in -ing). Therefore, "I am liking it very much" would be considered grammatically incorrect.

Correct Answer
B. Go to page 20 in your manual

Explanation
The given correct answer is "Go to page 20 in your manual." This sentence is grammatically correct because it follows the standard subject-verb-object structure. The verb "go" is used in the imperative form to instruct someone to perform the action of moving to page 20 in their manual. The preposition "to" is correctly used to indicate the destination. The sentence is clear and concise, conveying the intended meaning effectively.

- A.
  
  According to me, the food was terrible
- B.
  
  In my opinion, the food was terrible
Correct Answer
B. In my opinion, the food was terrible

Explanation
Both sentences are grammatically correct, but the second option "In my opinion, the food was terrible" is more commonly used. It is a more formal and polite way to express one's viewpoint. The phrase "According to me" is less commonly used and may sound less natural to native English speakers.
