a) A long table was spread on the center
b) of the great dining-hall from the palace
c) and the splendor of the decoration were
d) that any of the guests had ever seen.
e) All are incorrect
1) Answer (E)
Solution:
‘On’ in A must be replaced with ‘in’ for A to be correct.
The hall is ‘of the palace’ and not ‘from the palace’.
Since the decoration is singular, ‘were’ in C must be replaced with ‘was’.
The thing that one sees is ‘sight’. Hence, ‘seen’ in D must be replaced with ‘sight’.
Hence, option E is the right choice.
Question 2: Both the shaggy man and Dorothy looking (A)/ grave and anxious, for they (B)/ were sorrow that such (C)/ a misfortunately had overtaken (D)/ servants in white aprons. (E)
a) Both the shaggy man and Dorothy looking
b) grave and anxious, for they
c) were sorrow that such
d) a misfortunately had overtaken
e) All are incorrect
2) Answer (B)
Solution:
The sentence is in past tense, so ‘looking’ in A must be replaced with ‘looked’.
In C adjective form of ‘sorrow’ must be used. Hence, ‘sorrowful’ must replace ‘sorrow’ for C to be correct.
‘Misfortunately’ in D must be replaced with ‘misfortunate’ in D.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
Question 3: The captain led them with (A)/ many rooms, were richly dressed kings (B)/ were sitting on beautiful chairs and (C)/ sipped tea, which was being passed around by (D)/ servants in white aprons. (E)
a) The captain led them with
b) many rooms, were richly dressed kings
c) were sitting on beautiful chairs and
d) sipped tea, which was being passed around by
e) All are incorrect
3) Answer (C)
Solution:
One leads others ‘through’ rooms and not ‘with’. Thus, A is incorrect.
‘Were’ in B must be replaced with ‘where’ as the room is a place.
Since the tense is present continuous, ‘sipped’ in D must be replaced with ‘sipping’.
Part C is correct.
Hence, the answer is option C.
Question 4: If the present instructions (A)/ the individual are required (B)/ to linking id proof (C)/ from mobile number (D)/ to open a new account. (E)
a) If the present instructions
b) the individual are required
c) to linking id proof
d) from mobile number
e) All are incorrect
4) Answer (E)
Solution:
‘As per the’ must replace ‘If’ in A for the part to be correct.
Since ‘are’ is used in B, ‘individuals’ and not ‘individual’ must be used.
‘To linking’ in C is incorrect instead ‘to link’ must be used.
One links something ‘with’ other thing. So ‘from’ in D must be replaced with ‘with’.
Hence, option E is the correct choice.
Question 5: I asked him what trade could be (A)/ so dreadful as the one he following, (B)/ where he ran the continnual peril of his life, (C)/ nothing alone from wind and sea, (D)/ but by the horrid cruelty of his masters. (E)

b) so dreadful as the one he following,
c) where he ran the continnual peril of his life,

e) All are incorrect

In C, the spelling of ‘continnual’ is incorrect. It must be replaced with ‘continual’.
‘Nothing alone’ in D does not fit in. It must be replaced with ‘not alone’.
Part A is correct.

a) Nobody, except these
b) happily gifted individuals
c) which can see but one

6) Answer (B)
Solution:
‘These’ in A must be replaced with ‘those’ as it is the plural form of ‘that’ and ‘these’ is the plural form of ‘this’.
Since ‘individuals’ is used ‘which’ in C must be replaced with ‘who’.
With ‘but one’ in C, ‘aspect’ must be used in D.

The adverb form ‘fully’ must be used in part A.

Since the sentence is in the present tense, the use of ‘tried’ in A is incorrect and must be replaced with ‘try’.

In part D ‘Indian nation’ must be used instead of ‘India nation’.
Part B is correct.

Only part C is right.
Hence, option C is the correct choice.
