Answers & Solutions for SBI PO English Questions With Answers PDF:
1) Answer (A)
The sentence is in the simple past tense. So, the correct construction of the sentence should be “…passed a bill that proposed…”. So, option (a) is the correct answer.
2) Answer (E)
The sentence is grammatically correct. There is no correction required.
3) Answer (E)
The sentence is comparing commonly used oils and exotic oils. So, ‘more’ should be used and not ‘most’. There is more than one option besides commonly used oil – exotic and expensive varieties of oils. So, it should be options. So, the sentence is grammatically correct and no correction is needed.
4) Answer (D)
Masses is plural, so it should be ‘were’ instead of ‘was’. Also, the use of the word ‘which’ is
incorrect. The correct word is ‘who’. So, option (d) is the correct answer.
5) Answer (B)
The sentence is in past tense. So, ‘were’ should be used instead of ‘are’. ‘Where’ is used for a place whereas ‘while’ is used to refer to a period of time. So, option (b) is the correct answer.
6) Answer (D)
From the context, we can infer that the phrase indicates causality between overstaffing and low productivity. Hence, the correct phrasal verb to use in this case is ‘led to’. As the event has already occurred, the correct tense to use would be the past tense. The phrase is part of the subordinate clause and hence should begin with “which”. Hence, option D.
7) Answer (C)
The verb “conveys” is modifying “delay”. Hence, “delay” is the subject.
Therefore, “your”, which is an object form of “you”, must be present here.
Hence, option C is the answer.
8) Answer (C)
“Them” is used => Plural.
Hence, the subject must be plural.
Only option C satisfies this condition.
Hence, option C is the answer.
9) Answer (B)
The grammatically correct sentence would read as:
In the absence of any guidelines they are unwilling to take up the project.
10) Answer (A)
Gramatically correct statement would read as:
Without the development of rural people, country can never claim to be developed.
Hence, the correct option is A.
