Identify the error in the sentence, if any:
Modern cinematography/(1) techniques are far superior to/(2) that employed in the past./(3) No Error/(4)

Answer is option C.

There is an error in option C, and the error is use of preposition. In the given context, 'of' should be used instead of 'with'.

Correct sentence: He wondered whether he could make it through the storm as there was no safe haven in sight and it was pouring cats and dogs, with the roads full of gushing water.

Answer is option C.

Question 84

Complete the sentence with the correct option.
It’s a wonder that ------ still such a popular band even after twenty years of being on the music charts!

Video Solution

Solution

The sentence talks about some band. Thus, the correct word that will fill the blank is "they're".

"There" is used to show some place, whereas "their" and "their's" are possessive pronouns. Thus, these are not suitable for the sentence.

Hence, the answer is option A.

Question 85

Answer is option B.

Question 86

Complete the sentence with the correct option.
The itinerary set by their travel agent included so many stops in a _ amount of time that they received only the most __ impressions of the places they visited.

Video Solution

Solution

The language of the sentence suggests that the people had very less time and thus were not able to get any lasting impressions of the places they visited.

Thus, among the options, "brief" and "fleeting" are the most appropriate choices for the blanks.

Hence, the answer is option C.

Question 87

Identify the error in the sentence, if any:
In this way, nuclear fission/(1) or the splitting of the atoms/(2) have been achieved./(3) No Error./(4)

Video Solution

Solution

Since nuclear fission is being talked about singularly, the sentence should have been, "In this way, nuclear fission or the splitting of the atoms has been achieved."

Hence, the answer is option C.

Question 88

Complete the sentence with the correct option.
Ms. Kapoor recommended perseverance and _______ in dealing with the activists rather than the uncompromising approach the government had adopted.

Video Solution

Solution

The word appearing in the blank must be complementary to the word "perseverance".

Option B cannot be the answer since it is similar in meaning to "perseverance"

Option C is rejected because the sentence structure requires a word more serious in nature.

Option D is rejected because it is negative in tone and thus, does not suit the sentence.

Hence, the answer is option A as "perseverance and patience" are complementary to each other and support the sentence.

Question 89

Complete the sentence with the correct option:
The land reforms were diluted, if not sabotaged, in ________________ with politicians and highly placed legal officials.

Video Solution

Solution

The sentence talks about "dilution" and "sabotage" in the land reforms, which indicates a negative tone.

Thus, among the options, "collusion" is the most suitable word for the answer.

Hence, the answer is option A.
