Answer
1. Ans (3): Replace ‘because of poor’ by ‘because of poorly’, because the word poorly is an Adverb
which modifies the word ‘maintained’ (Adjective).
2. Ans (5): No error
3. Ans (2): Here, in the group of words ‘consultants to help them’, the word ‘them’ has been
wrongly used for the company. It is correct to use Objective Case ‘it’ (Pronoun) instead.
4. Ans (3): As ……. as….is used when comparing two people or things. Therefore, ‘be so high as ten’
should be replaced by ‘be as high as ten’.
5. Ans (5): No error.
6. Ans (1): The possessive pronoun of ‘he’ is ‘his’.
Hence, replace ‘He reports’ by ‘His reports’.
7. Ans (1): The sentence express past time. Hence use ‘He was great leader………..’.
8. Ans (1): An estimated forty….. will be a correct sentence. It is better to use Adjective form of the
word ‘estimate’.
9. Ans (4): When we express a truth or habit, it is correct to use Simple Present.
Hence, ‘they learn something new’ will be correct usage
10. Ans (4): Replace ‘was established from 1950’ by ‘was established in 1950’. Preposition ‘from’ is
generally used to express the start of time.
Look at the sentence:
He is available at home from 7 a.m to 8 a.m.
