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 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."

The correct answer is let herself go.Key Points Here let's see the correct sentence formation:

She has let herself go after her divorce.

Additional Information Here let's explain the formation:

• They have used an idiom in the sentence formation.
• Let herself go (idiom) - ​To behave in a wild or uninhibited manner.
• Let's take another example to understand it:
  • Eg. I was surprised that she let herself go at the party—she's usually so shy and reserved. 

The correct answer is 'fewer marbles'.

Key Points

• There is an error in adjective usage in the underlined part of the given sentence. 
• Less is an adjective of quantity used with uncountable nouns. - less sugar, less time, etc.
• But, marbles is a countable noun. 
• Marbles means small balls of coloured glass or similar material used as a toy.
• In such a case we need to use the adjective few which is used with nouns for countable objects and concepts.
• Since a comparison between two entities is happening (the number of marbles Robin has versus the number George has) we need to use the comparative degree of few which is fewer. 
• Hence, option 4 or fewer marbles is the option that will improve the underlined part of the given sentence.
   

Correct sentence - Robin has fewer marbles than George.

The correct answer is 'among'.

Key Points

• We use 'among' to divide things among groups when the number of people is more than two.
• Whereas 'between' is used when divided among two. 
• Between can also be used for times and places that indicate two end points.

Additional Information Let's look at the other option;

• At: when we refer to an address and 
• We use as adjectives 'at' to talk about things that we do well or badly.
  • For eg:- He is good at english.
• From: to refer to the place where someone or something starts or originates.
• For: to talk about a purpose or a reason for something.

The correct answer is: my.

Key Points

• In this context, 'going' is a gerund.
• Gerund is 'V1+ing' form of verb that acts as a noun.
• A noun is always qualified by an adjective.
• 'Me' is a pronoun. So, the use of 'me' is grammatically incorrect.
• It should be replaced by a possessive adjective.
• So, 'me' should be replaced by 'my', which is a possessive adjective.
  • The possessive adjectives, also called possessive determiners, are my, our, your, his, her, its, and their.

• We often put possessive in front of a gerund to show who is doing the action or what action is being done.

• In formal writing, the subject of the gerund should be in the possessive form:
  • Your leaving early was a wise decision.
  • We celebrated Gord’s winning the contest.
  • Natalie objected to my borrowing her hockey stick.
• Therefore, the correct sentence is: Would you mind my going there.

Additional Information

• When you don't need to use a noun, usually because the subject has already been specified, you can refer to someone or something by using a pronoun.
• "It," "she," "something," and "myself" are a few examples.

The correct answer is 'too noisy'.

Key Points

• ‘Much’ is used when we are speaking about a singular noun.
• “Too much” means that there is an excess of something.
• “Too” is used to describe that the adjective or adverb being used is in an excessive or extreme state, while “mu​ch” describes the fact that this phrase describes the quantity of something.
• In the given sentence, 'too noisy' is most appropriate.
• Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.

The correct sentence is: The place is too noisy.

Additional Information

• We often use too before much and many.
•  We can use too much before an uncountable noun and too many before a plural noun, or without a noun when the noun is obvious:
  • Example: I bought too much food. We had to throw some of it away.

The correct answer is: as creatively

Key Points

• The error in the original sentence lies in the use of the adjective "creative" instead of the adverb "creatively" when comparing her drawing skills.
• In English, when making comparisons with adverbs, the adverbial form is needed to maintain grammatical accuracy and parallel structure.
• Correct Sentence: She can draw very well and just as creatively.
• The original segment is corrected by substituting "creative" with "creatively" to maintain parallelism in the sentence.
• The corrected sentence ensures parallel construction by using "as creatively" to match the structure of "very well."

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.

The correct answer is 'Presently'.

Key Points

• Presently: at the present time; now.
  • Example: He is presently staying with us.
• Since the context of the sentence is expressing that right now, she is busy studying for her exams.
• Thus, the correct answer is 'option 1'.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: 'Presently, she is busy studying for her exams.'

Confusion Points

•  There can be confusion between the usage of 'At present' and 'presently'.
• At Present: It refers to the events or activities that are taking place 'right now' or 'in the present moment'.
  • Example: I am eating at present.
• Presently: It refers to the events or activities that are taking place right now and will continue happening in the immediate future.
  • Example: John is presently away on the business.
• Since studying for exam is a process that is happening right now and will continue happening in the immediate future, therefore, we will use 'presently' in place of 'at the present'.
• Thus, the correct answer is option 1.

The correct answer is 'call'.

Key Points

• The given sentence uses a compound modal 'had better'.
• It is used to indicate advisability. And some times even carries a hint of urgency or even threat or warning.
• It is used to recommend future action on a particular occasion.
• 'Had better' takes the root form of a verb after it.
  • Example  - We had better buy travel insurance this time.
• Therefore, the correct verb form following 'had better' is 'call.'

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The correct answer is: could not help laughing

Key Points

• The given sentence is written in the past tense, So 'could not' should be used in the place of 'cannot.'
• When we use 'help', verb + ing should be used.
  • ​Example- She couldn't help laughing when she saw it.
• ​Therefore, the correct answer is option 4.
   

Hence the corrected sentence is: It was such a funny story that we could not help laughing.

The correct answer is option 2) i.e. 'No substitution required.'

Key Points  

• There is no error in the sentence.
• According to the rules of question tag if a sentence begins with 'Let's or Let us' then we have to use the question tag 'shall we.'
• Here 'shall' used to make decisions and offers about something.
• Another Example:
  • ​Let's go to the beach, shall we?
• Therefore, the use of 'shall we?' in the sentence is grammatically correct.
• Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Correct sentence: Let’s go out for dinner tonight, shall we?
