Quiz 2

Solution: Sentence A is incorrect as ‘not’ should come before ‘that’ (… not that it is a bad thing but …).  Sentence B can be correct if we add another ‘that’ (… not that it is a bad thing but that it is …) for the sake of consistency or parallelism.  

However sentence C is correct logically and grammatically.  

In Sentence D a pronoun ‘that’ is missing, following the word ‘not’.  

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Solution: Since “A large number” symbolizes a plural form, hence in the sentence A there should be devices instead of ‘device’ (a large number of) ‘devices’.  

In sentence C, article ‘the’ is coming before ‘politicians’ only, which logically should come before either each  one of them or none at all (as in sentence B).

In sentence D, article ‘a’ should precede ‘large number of’.  

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

Solution: Sentences B and D can be ignored as goods are traded “on the world market” and not “with the world market”.

In sentence A, article ‘a’ should come before ‘difference of prices’.  

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Solution: It should be “by the government” and not “of the government” therefore sentences A and D shall not be considered. Also, ‘hedging’ is not correct in sentence A. Hedging is a word majorly used in financial sector which means “to protect something, especially against financial losses.  

In Sentence C it should be ‘reduce the/those risks…’ instead of ‘reduce that risk that private …’. Hence B is the most appropriate.  

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

Statements B and C are incorrect.
Statement B is incorrect because ‘As project progresses’ should be corrected to
“As the project progresses...” The (definite or indefinite) article is required as a
determiner.
Statement C is incorrect in the phrase ‘a plurality with single-minded focus’ –
should be corrected to “a plurality with a single-minded focus...” The noun ‘focus’
needs a determiner (definite/indefinite article) ‘a focus’ is correct. An adjective
(single-minded) breaks this order. ‘A single-minded focus’ like ‘a beautiful car’ is
correct.
Since statements B and C are incorrect, options 1, 3 and 4 are eliminated.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

.Statements B and C are incorrect. Statement B is incorrect because ‘to break apart’ is incorrect idiom. It should be “making them break apart”- the verb ‘make’ is not followed by an infinitive (to+verb). E.g. It makes me cry and not It makes
me to cry. Statement C is incorrect in ‘many offending chemicals’. The correct versions will be ‘many offending chemicals (have)’ or many an offending chemical (has)’.
This eliminates options 2 and 4. Statements A and D are both correct.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

B and C are incorrect.
B has to be corrected to “Rarely has the economic ..... been watched”.
C is incorrect. ‘Post-war era’ has to be corrected to ‘The post-war era’ – ‘era’
(noun needs a determiner).
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

56.Statements B and C are incorrect.
Statement B should read ‘Ever since the Enlightenment...’ (the Enlightenment: a
philosophical movement of the 18th century, characterized by belief in the
power of human reason and by innovations in political, religious, and
educational doctrine).
Statement C should read as \".... in the 1820s\"
Options 2, 3 and 4 are eliminated.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

Option 4 is correct because these three options is incorrect

B, C, and D
