2. "Venus, the second planet from the sun, is exactly almost the same size as the earth." –Pick the incorrect word.

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.

Submit
3. The mountain climbers ______________ on their long trek up the side of the mountain.

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.

Submit
4. "The professor joined the bride and groom together in holy wedlock." –Find out the incorrect part of the sentence.

Explanation

The incorrect part of the sentence is "joined together". The word "together" is redundant because "joined" already implies that the bride and groom were brought together. Therefore, the correct sentence would be "The professor joined the bride and groom in holy wedlock."

Submit
5. Which is the redundant word in the sentence: 'He ordered for a cup of tea.'

Explanation

The word "for" is redundant in the sentence because it is unnecessary and does not add any meaning to the sentence. The correct sentence would be "He ordered a cup of tea."

Submit
6. Which is the correct sentence?

Explanation

The correct sentence is "this is a fact" because it uses the correct subject-verb agreement and includes the article "a" before the noun "fact." The other options either have incorrect grammar or do not include the necessary article.

Submit
7. We are not in _________ financial position to reduce annual tuition fees.

Explanation

The phrase "a sufficient" is the correct answer because it accurately completes the sentence and conveys the intended meaning. It implies that the financial position is not adequate or satisfactory enough to allow for a reduction in annual tuition fees.

Submit
8. Which one of the following sentence is correct?

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.

Submit
9. Choose the correct form of sentence from the followings.

Explanation

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."

Submit
10. "In recent years, great advances forward have been made in the field of genetic science." –Which word of the sentence should be omitted to make it correct?

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.

Submit
11. Identify one of the words or phrases that must be changed in order for the sentence to be correct: "He has sufficient enough money to buy a car."

Explanation

The phrase "sufficient enough" is redundant because "sufficient" already implies "enough." Therefore, the correct answer is to remove the word "enough" and simply use "sufficient" to maintain the sentence's correctness.

Submit
12. Maurice told his grandfather that he hit his brother ___________________.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Inadvertently". This means that Maurice hit his brother by accident or without intending to do so.

Submit
13. "Despite of the increase in train fare, most people still prefer to travel by train." –What's wrong in the sentence?

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."

Submit
14. Choose the correct sentence.

Explanation

The correct answer is "Fetch some water for me" because it is a concise and clear sentence that conveys the instruction to bring water. The other options either add unnecessary words or change the meaning of the sentence.

Submit
15. Choose the correct option to complete the sentence: She returned_______.

Explanation

The correct option is "from the village after she has come to know about her husband's plan". This option is grammatically correct and makes logical sense in the given context. It indicates that she returned from the village after becoming aware of her husband's plan.

Submit
16. Which is an example of the redundant word?

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.

Submit
17. Choose the correct option to complete the sentence: "The presenter was not using a microphone; __________________."

Explanation

The correct answer is "His voice was audible" because this option completes the sentence by stating that the presenter's voice could be heard.

Submit
18. Choose the correct form of sentence.

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.

Submit
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.

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.

Submit
20. Choose the correct form of the sentence

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.
