Key Points

To answer this question, let's break down each sentence to identify any grammatical or contextual errors:

• 1) Many a student dreams of pursuing higher education abroad, hoping to gain international experience and broaden their cultural perspectives.
  • This sentence uses the correct, albeit formal, construction "Many a + singular noun + singular verb" ("Many a student dreams"). The pronoun "their" is used correctly to refer to "student" in a distributive sense.
  • This sentence is grammatically and contextually correct.
• 2) The old mansion, standing desolate on the hill overlooking the town, its windows staring like vacant eyes, was rumored to be haunted.
  • This sentence is grammatically sound. The descriptive phrases ("standing desolate," "its windows staring") are correctly used to add detail to the main subject "The old mansion."
  • This sentence is grammatically and contextually correct.
• 3) The committee agreed that the proposed budget reduction was necessary, but they had reservations concerning its potential impact on essential public services.
  • This sentence is grammatically correct. "Committee" is a collective noun, and treating it as plural ("they had reservations") is acceptable when referring to the individual members' opinions or actions.
  • This sentence is grammatically and contextually correct.
• 4) If she would have known about the sudden change in plans, she would have certainly made different arrangements for her travel itinerary.
  • This sentence contains a grammatical error in the conditional clause. This is a Type 3 (past unreal) conditional sentence, which expresses a hypothetical situation in the past. The correct structure for the "if" clause in a Type 3 conditional is "If + subject + had + past participle."
  • The phrase "If she would have known" is incorrect.
  • The correct sentence would be: "If she had known about the sudden change in plans, she would have certainly made different arrangements for her travel itinerary."
  • This sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Since sentence 4 contains a grammatical error, it is the incorrect option.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4.

• 1) Due to unforeseen circumstances and technical difficulties, the much-anticipated online seminar has been indefinitely postponed until a later date.

  • This sentence is grammatically and contextually correct.
• 2) The journalist, who's extensive investigative reporting had uncovered numerous cases of corruption, received a prestigious award for her courage and dedication.

  • The correct sentence would be: "The journalist, whose extensive investigative reporting had uncovered numerous cases of corruption, received a prestigious award for her courage and dedication."

• 4) The complex mathematical equation, requiring advanced calculus to solve, challenged even the most brilliant minds in the university's esteemed department.

Key Points

• In this sentence, all the words are spelled correctly. Here's an explanation of the incorrect spellings in the other options:
• "Ryan squaked about losing his job owing to a leg injury."
  • The word "squaked" is misspelled. The correct spelling is "squawked."
• "Ryan squeked about losing his job owing to a leg injury."
  • The word "squeked" is misspelled. The correct spelling is "squawked."
• "Ryan skuawked about losing his job owing to a leg injury."

The correct answer is option 1, i.e., They can play as well as we can.

•  Explanation:
•  Rule: Whenever there is more than one subject in the sentence; the correct pronouns to be used are subjective pronouns. For example: He can run fast; but so can I.
•  The sentence uses the conjunction phrase 'as well as', which indicates that the action is done by first subject as well as the second subject.
•  This means both subjects are the doers of the action shown by the verb. So, we must use a subjective pronoun such as 'I', 'We', 'He' etc.
•  Out of the options, only option 1 shows a subjective pronoun, viz, 'We'. So, it must be the correct answer.

The correct answer is 'The rider who met with the accident was not wearing a helmet, the police said.'

Key Points

• The sentence uses proper grammar and structure.
• It correctly includes the definite article "the" before both "accident" and "police."
• This usage indicates specificity, referring to a particular accident and a particular group of police officers.
• The sentence is clear and precise in conveying the information about the rider, the accident, and the absence of a helmet.
• The overall structure of the sentence ensures grammatical correctness and effective communication.

• Proper usage of articles is crucial for grammatical accuracy and clarity in conveying specific information.

Therefore, the correct answer is 'Option 4.'

Additional Information

• Option 1: Incorrect due to missing articles before "accident" and "police," affecting the specificity of the statement.
• Option 2: Incorrect due to the incorrect article "an" before "helmet"; it should be "a" helmet.
• Option 3: Incorrect due to the incorrect use of "an" before "police"; it should be "the" police.

The correct answer is "The participants of the competition are waiting for their turn curiously."

Key Points 

• The subject "participants" is plural, so the verb should also be plural.
  • Thus, we will eliminate the options 2, 3 and 4.
• Also, "curiously" is an adverb describing how the participants are waiting.
• Thus, it can be concluded that the sentence in option 1 is grammatically correct.
• The sentence in option 1 has correct subject-verb agreement and proper use of adverb.

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

Additional Information

• Option 2 is incorrect because "participants" is plural and "has been waiting" is singular.
• Option 3 is incorrect because "a participants" is grammatically incorrect. It should be "a participant" or "participants".
• Option 4 is incorrect because "participants" is plural and "is waiting" is singular.

The correct answer is 'D'' i.e. "Harmit is not as innocent as Uday." which corrects the error and makes the sentence grammatically accurate..

Key Points

• The correct structure for making comparisons of equality is "as + adjective + as".
• For example, "She is as tall as her brother."
• Options 1, 2, and 3 do not use the correct comparative structure and hence are incorrect.
• Option 4 uses the correct comparative structure "as innocent as".

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

Correct sentence: Harmit is not as innocent as Uday.

Additional Information

• The phrase "such as" is used to introduce examples, not to make comparisons.
• When comparing the degree of an adjective between two subjects, use the "as...as" structure.
• Example: "He is as intelligent as she is."

The correct answer is 'Diabetes is a chronic disease.'

Key Points

• Among the given options the correctly spelt sentence is Option 2.
• Let's look at the correct spelling and meaning of all the words in this sentence:
  • Diabetes (मधुमेह) - a chronic disease characterized by high blood sugar levels resulting from the body's inability to produce or use insulin properly.
    • Example: My grandfather has to take insulin injections daily to manage his diabetes. 
  • Chronic (अधिकालिक) - persisting for a long time or constantly recurring.
    • Example: The patient was suffering from chronic back pain that had been bothering him for years.
  • Disease (रोग) - an abnormal condition that affects the body or mind and impairs normal functioning.
    • Example: The flu is a highly contagious disease that can spread quickly from one person to another.

The correct answer is "I like my puppies, Mac and Matt, but I like Matt better."

 Key Points

• In this context, the error lies in the word "best."
• The word "best" is the superlative form of "good," which is used when comparing three or more things.
  • Example: She is the best of all.
• The word "better" is the comparative form of the adjective "good," which is the correct form to use when comparing two things.
  • Example: Karan is better than Arun.
• In this sentence, we are comparing two puppies, so the correct answer is Option 1.
   

Additional Information

• Option 2: "best" is the superlative form of "good," but it is used incorrectly in this context because the sentence only compares two things.
• Option 3: "much" is an adverb that describes the degree or extent of something, but it is not appropriate in this context.
• Option 4: "most" is a superlative form, but it is not used correctly in this context.

The correct answer is- 'This is Shradha's uniform. Yours is not ready.'

Key Points

• The error lies in the part "Your" of the sentence.
• "Me" is an object pronoun.
• "Hers" and "Their" is the possessive pronoun
• Your is an adjective that means "relating to or belonging to you." 
  • Example: This is your pen.
• Yours is a possessive pronoun that means "that which belongs to you."
  • Example: This pen is yours.
• ​Here we are talking about the unprepared uniform which belongs to Shradha.
• ​Therefore, we need the pronoun "yours" to make the sentence grammatically correct.
   

Correct sentence: This is Shradha's uniform. Yours is not ready.

Key Points

• The sentence is grammatically correct because it uses the indefinite article "a" before "nation" to show that India is one of many nations, and not the only one.
• It also uses the correct verb tense, "shall always remain," to indicate a future certainty.
• The sentence is structured properly with a subject ("India"), verb ("is"), and predicate ("a united country").
• The phrase "as a nation" is used correctly to introduce the subject of the sentence.
• The sentence is well-structured, with a clear subject-verb agreement and coherence in expressing the idea that India is currently a united country and will continue to be so in the future.

The correct answer is 'I, you and he are going to pluck the mango from his garden.'

Key Points

• The third statement is grammatically correct as it shows the correct order of pronouns.
• The order of pronouns tells about the sequential way the pronouns should be used in a sentence.
• When the sentence depicts a positive context then the order of pronoun is 2,3,1, i.e. the second person, the third person singular, and the first person.
  • Example: You, he, and I are selected for the job. (Correct)
• But, when it depicts a sense of responsibility then the order of pronoun is 1, 2 and 3, i.e. the first person, the second person, and the third person.
  • Example: I, you and he could not achieve the target.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I, you and he are going to pluck the mango from his garden.
