    • Exactly almost

    • Same size

    Correct Answer
    A. Exactly almost
    Explanation
    The word "exactly" is incorrect in this sentence. "Exactly" and "almost" have opposite meanings, so they cannot be used together to describe the similarity in size between Venus and Earth.

    • Proceeded

    • Forwarding

    Correct Answer
    A. Proceeded
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "proceeded". In this sentence, "proceeded" is the past tense of the verb "proceed", which means to continue or move forward. The sentence is describing the action of the mountain climbers as they make their way up the side of the mountain.

    Correct Answer
    A. Joined........together

    • Strong enough

    • Sufficient strong enough

    • An enough  

    Correct Answer

    • The captain did order his soldier to fire

    Correct Answer
    A. The captain ordered his soldier to fire
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The captain ordered his soldier to fire." In this sentence, the verb "ordered" is followed by the direct object "his soldier" and the infinitive phrase "to fire." This structure accurately conveys the action of the captain giving a command to his soldier to fire.

    • This is fact

    • This is a fact  

    Correct Answer
    A. This is a fact

    • Order

    • For

    • A

    • Tea

    Correct Answer
    A. We should come up with an innovation for doing this task

    The correct answer is "We should come up with an innovation for doing this task." This is the correct form of the sentence because it uses the correct verb tense ("come up") and includes the appropriate article ("an") before the noun "innovation."

    • Recent year

    • Forward

    • Have been made

    • Genetic science

    Correct Answer
    A. Forward
    Explanation
    The word "forward" should be omitted from the sentence to make it correct. The phrase "great advances have been made" already implies progress in the field of genetic science, so the word "forward" is redundant.

  • 11. 

    “Despite of the increase in train fare, most people still prefer to travel by train.” –What’s wrong in the sentence?

    • Despite of

    • Still

    • Prefer

    • Travel

    Correct Answer
    A. Despite of
    Explanation
    The phrase "despite of" is incorrect in the sentence. The correct phrase should be "despite" without the use of "of". "Despite" means in spite of or regardless of, and it is used to show contrast between two things. Therefore, the correct sentence would be "Despite the increase in train fare, most people still prefer to travel by train."

    • Enough money

    • Sufficient enough

    • To buy

    Correct Answer

    • Ask a questions

    • As additional

    • Twins

    Correct Answer
    A. Ask a questions
    Explanation
    The phrase "ask a questions" contains a redundant word. The word "a" is unnecessary because "questions" is already plural, so there is no need to use the indefinite article "a" before it. Therefore, "ask questions" would be the correct and more concise way to express the idea.

    • My lodging is near the school

    Correct Answer
    A. My lodging is near to the school
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "My lodging is near the school." This is the most concise and grammatically correct option. "Near" already implies proximity, so adding "to" is unnecessary.

    Rate this question:

  • 19. 

    "As the road traffic increases, elevate highways are built to solve the problem of traffic jams.” Choose the incorrect usage of grammar that is present in the sentence.

    • Elevated highways

    • Road traffic

    • The

    • Traffic jams

    Correct Answer
    A. Elevated highways
    Explanation
    The correct sentence would then be: "As road traffic increases, elevated highways are built to solve the problem of traffic jams." "Elevated" is the proper adjective to describe highways that are raised above the ground level.

    Rate this question:

  • 20. 

    Choose the correct form of the sentence

    • I wait your decision

    • I await for your decision

    • I await upon your decision

    Correct Answer
    A. I await your decision
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "I await your decision" because the verb "await" is followed by the preposition "for" or "upon" when used in a sentence. Therefore, the options "I wait your decision" and "I await for your decision" are incorrect. The correct form is "I await your decision" as it follows the correct structure and conveys the intended meaning.
