EXPLANATIONS
Q.1) Subject Verb Agreement error. Replace ‘have’ by ‘has’.
- a) The Noun ‘Series’ can be used both as singular and plural. Here it refers to a particular tv show. So the verb following the subject (Series) should be in singular form.
Q.2) a) Pronoun and Subject Verb Agreement error. Replace ‘is’ by ‘are’.
The Noun ‘Police’ is always plural. So the correct form is either ‘These Police’ or ‘Those Police’.
Note: This, That- Singular
Those, These- Plural
Q.3) d) Subject Verb Agreement error. Replace ‘is’ by ‘are’.
The Subject ‘Advertising Revenues’ is plural, so the verb following it should also be in plural.
Q.4) a) Verb error. ‘Have been + ing’ indicates the statement is in ‘Active Form’. But the given statement has to be changed to ‘Passive Form’.
Eg: He has cheated: Subject does the action.
He has been cheated by me: The object does the action.
The subject ‘Fuel Prices’ will have to be revised by someone and cannot be done by the subject itself.
Q.5) b) Replace ‘whomever’ by ‘whoever’. Pronoun error. ‘Whomever’ is an objective pronoun and works like the pronouns him, her, and them (Give the document to whomever in the department). Whoever is a subject pronoun and works like the pronouns he, she, and they (Whoever wrote this essay should win a prize).
Q.6) e)
Note: ‘The number of’ is always followed by a ‘singular verb’.
‘A number of’ is always followed by a ‘plural verb’.
Q.7) a) Verb error. Replace ‘Asserted’ by ‘Asserting’ Here Asserting is appropriate
Q.8) c) Adjective error. Replace ‘seven-members’ by ‘seven-member’.
When a noun acts as an adjective, it always appears in singular form.
Eg: Tooth brush, Foot path
Q.9) a) Tense error. Replace ‘needed’ by ‘need’.
The sentence is in ‘Present Tense’.
Q.10) b) Subject verb Agreement error. Replace ‘were’ by ‘was’.
When we use two noun phrases next to each other in a clause, and they refer to the same person or thing, we call that apposition.
Eg: Edinburgh, Scotland’s capital , has a population of around 450,000.
Q.11) e
Q.12) c) Replace ‘say’ by ‘saying’
Whenever a clause begins with a verb, the verb will be in ‘ing’ form.
Q.13) b) Interchange ‘winter chilly’ by ‘chilly winter’.
When an adjective and a noun are placed consecutively, the adjective that qualifies the noun, precedes the noun.
Eg: Good boy.
Boy Good – incorrect.
Q.14) e) No error
Q.15) d) Pronoun error. Replace ‘its’ by ‘their’.
Subject is in plural form (judges ,lawyers)
Q.16) c) Adjective error. Replace ‘quarter’ by ‘quarterly’. ‘Loss’ is a noun that is qualified by the adjective ‘quarterly’. ‘Quarter’ is a noun.
Q.17) a) ‘Subject Verb Agreement’ error. Replace ‘were’ by ‘was’.
If the definite article is placed only before the former, then the two nouns indicate the same person.
Q.18) e)
Data is treated as both singular and plural.
Q.19) b) ‘Compound Noun’ Error. The right form is ‘Commanders in Chief’.
Note: Media is treated as both singular and plural.
Q.20) a) Subject Verb Agreement Error. Replace ‘like’ by ‘likes’.
