Answer Key With Explanations:
1. (b) Both ‘meek’ and ‘humble’ should be preceded by the article ‘the’. ‘The meek’ would mean people who are meek and ‘the humble’ would refer to people who are humble.
2. (c) The right preposition is ‘of’, not ‘from’.
3. (c) ‘The’ should not be used before ‘summer’ and ‘winter’ in this sentence as no specific ‘summer’ and ‘winter’ are referred to. It is correct to say ‘Now that … twice a week in summer and once a week in winter’.
4. (c) In the context of the meaning of the sentence, ‘few’ meaning ‘practically none’ should replace ‘a few’ (‘not many’).
5. (a) At the beginning of the sentence, the article should be ‘the’, as a particular person is being referred to.
6. (b) The article ‘the’ should be inserted before ‘only dentist’ as we are referring to a particular person who is ‘the’ only dentist in the village.
7. (b) The article ‘a’, not ‘the’, should be used before ‘tremendous effect’. If ‘tremendous effect’ is followed by ‘of…’, ‘the’ would be suitable.
8. (b) A person is in ‘a’ bad mood.
9. (b) with ‘the reason’, ‘due to’ is redundant. The (b) part should read ‘is the fact’ or simply ‘is’.
10. (b) It should be ‘a little’ which means ‘at least some’. It has a positive meaning. ‘Little’ means ‘hardly any’. It conveys a negative meaning and makes no sense in this context.
