The correct answer is '1' i.e. to do same. .

Key Points

• The phrase "do same" is grammatically incorrect.
• The correct form should be "do the same".
• In English, we often use "the" before "same" to refer to a previously mentioned situation or action.

Correct sentence: People who have overcome personal challenges can inspire others to do the same.

The erroneous part of the sentence is: and an hyena.

Key Points

• The article "an" is used before words that start with a vowel sound, while "a" is used before words that start with a consonant sound.
• In the given sentence, the word "hyena" starts with a consonant sound "h", so the correct article to use is "a".

Correct sentence: A fox and a hyena were spotted in the animal reserve.

Additional Information

• Articles "a" and "an":
  • "A": Used before words that begin with a consonant sound. Example: a car, a university.
  • "An": Used before words that begin with a vowel sound. Example: an apple, an hour.
• Common Mistakes:
  • Incorrect: an university (since "university" starts with a consonant sound).
  • Correct: a university.

Key Points

• The primary issue in the sentence is the omission of the article "the" before the term "poor."
• When referring to a specific group of people in a general sense, such as "the poor," an article is necessary.
• The correct phrase should be "despise the poor," ensuring grammatical correctness and clarity.

Key Points

• The primary issue in the sentence is the use of "is a M.A.".
• The correct usage should be "is an M.A." as M.A. starts with a vowel sound.
• The correct phrase should be "is an M.A. from Delhi University," ensuring grammatical correctness and clarity.
• Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.

Key Points

• The correct phrase should be "the next few days" instead of "the few next days." The word order is important for the phrase to make sense.

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. 'error lies in part C of the sentence.'
Key Points 

• In part C of the sentence, the usage of 'some' is incorrect Instead, use 'any'
• Use 'any' in statements with negative meaning to indicate that no thing or a person of a particular type exists, is present, or is involved in a situation.
• Let's see an example:
  • I never make any big decisions.

So the correct sentence is: Earlier reports were unable to confirm that there were any survivors.

Key Points 

• The error lies in the part "The historians."
• The definite article 'the' is used before a noun when one is referring to something specific.
• In the given sentence, using 'the' before 'historians' would suggest that the speaker is referring to a specific group of historians that have already been mentioned or are known to both speaker and listener.
• However, when we want to speak generally about all people in a certain group,we should use 'historians' without an article ('the'), similar to how we use 'people' without an article when talking about people in general.

Therefore, the​ correct answer is Option 4.

Correct sentence: Historians are a great asset to the field of academia.

The correct answer is 'A.'

Key Points

• The error lies in part (A) of the sentence.
• In the given sentence, an article 'a' is used before a singular noun 'animal' which is wrong.
• Use the article a or an to indicate any non-specified member of a group or category.
• The indefinite article 'a' is used before a singular noun beginning with a consonant sound.
• The indefinite article 'an' is used before a singular noun beginning with a vowel sound.
  • Example: 
    • We are looking for an apartment.
    • I own a cat and two dogs.
• Hence, the article 'a' should be replaced by the article 'an' to make the sentence grammatically correct.
  • ​Correct sentence: I think an animal is in the garage and they all gather to see that animal.

​Additional Information

• There are three articles: a, an, and the.
• Articles are used before nouns or noun equivalents and are a type of adjective.

  Article	Use	Example
  Indefinite article 'a'	before a singular noun beginning with a consonant sound whose specific identity is not known	He was a happy boy.
  Indefinite article 'an'	before a singular noun beginning with a vowel sound whose specific identity is not known	I ate an apple yesterday.
  Definite article 'the'	before a singular or plural noun whose specific identity is known	Thank you for the advice you gave me.

Hinglish

• त्रुटि वाक्य के भाग (A) में निहित है।
• दिए गए वाक्य में, singular noun 'animal' के पहले, article 'a' का प्रयोग किया गया है जो कि गलत है।
• किसी समूह या श्रेणी के किसी non-specified member  को इंगित करने के लिए article 'a' या 'an' का उपयोग करें।
• Indefinite article 'a' का प्रयोग consonant sound से शुरू होने वाली singular noun से पहले किया जाता है।
• एक vowel sound से शुरू होने वाली singular noun से पहले indefinite article 'an' का उपयोग किया जाता है।
  • Example: 
    • We are looking for an apartment.
    • I own a cat and two dogs.
• इसलिए, वाक्य को व्याकरणिक रूप से सही बनाने के लिए article 'a' को article 'an' द्वारा प्रतिस्थापित किया जाना चाहिए।

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. 'No error'

Key Points

• The sentence is grammatically correct as it correctly uses the modal verb 'may' to express possibility or likelihood.
• The clause "be able to leave the hospital early next week." is also correct as it properly follows the modal verb 'may' to complete the sentence.
• In the context of your sentence, "He may be able to leave the hospital early next week", the article 'the' before 'hospital' provides some crucial context.
  • It implies that the speaker and the listener (or reader) already know which hospital is being referred to.
  • This could be because the hospital has been mentioned before in the conversation, or the specific situation makes it clear which hospital is meant.
• All the parts of the sentence are grammatically correct as they follow the standard English syntax and agree in tense and number.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.

The correct answer is 'in a'. 

Key Points

• The erroneous Part 'in a' should be 'in the'. 
• 'The' is used before the Ordinal numbers (first, second, third etc.). Cardinal numbers such as one, two, three do not take any article before them.
  Examples: The second chapter of this book is very difficult.
                     Chapter two of this book is very difficult.
• Therefore, the usage of 'the' article before 'second innings' is grammatically correct.
  ​

Thus, the correct sentence is: The captain scored a century in the second innings. 

Additional Information

• The article 'the' is used before a singular countable noun to pick out one individual, thing, object, etc. as representative of a class.  
  • Example: 
    • 'The' lion is a ferocious animal. (Here the singular noun 'lion' is used to refer to all the lions)
    • 'The' elephant is a beast of burden. 

The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. error lies in part C of the sentence.

Key Points 

• In part C of the sentence, the usage of 'the dinner' is incorrect Instead, use 'Dinner'
• According to the rule, don't use articles with the names of meals. For example- Lunch, Dinner, Breakfast, etc.
• Let's see an example:
  • I will have fruit for lunch.

So the correct sentence is: For many people, cheap fried chicken is a staple food for lunch and dinner.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

The correct answer is 'in a open boat' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.
Key Points 

• In the given sentence, the noun 'boat' is not a specified noun.
• 'A' and 'an' are indefinite articles, which means that they refer to, or introduce, an unspecified noun.
  • We use 'a' before a consonant sound and we use 'an' before a vowel sound (here, open).
• The definite article 'the' is used before singular and plural nouns when the noun is specific or particular.
• ''No article'' is used when we refer to general ideas, plurals, or uncountable nouns.
• Therefore, the indefinite article 'an' should be used in place of the indefinite article 'a'.
   

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

Correct Sentence: When these gentle winds blow it is good to be in an open boat under full sail.
Additional Information 

There are three articles: a, an, and the. Articles are used before nouns or noun equivalents and are a type of adjective.

Hinglish

• दिए गए वाक्य में, संज्ञा 'boat'  निर्दिष्ट संज्ञा नहीं है।
• 'A' और 'an' अनिश्चितकालीन लेख हैं, जिसका अर्थ है कि वे एक अनिर्दिष्ट संज्ञा को संदर्भित करते हैं, या पेश करते हैं।
  • हम एक व्यंजन ध्वनि से पहले 'a' का उपयोग करें, और हम एक स्वर ध्वनि (यहाँ, open) से पहले 'an' का उपयोग करें।
• निश्चित लेख 'the' का प्रयोग एकवचन और बहुवचन संज्ञाओं से पहले किया जाता है जब संज्ञा विशिष्ट या विशेष होती है।
• जब हम सामान्य विचारों, बहुवचनों या बेशुमार संज्ञाओं का उल्लेख करते हैं तो ''No article'' का प्रयोग किया जाता है।
• इसलिए अनिश्चित article 'a' के स्थान पर अनिश्चित article 'an' का प्रयोग किया जाना चाहिए।
   

अतः सही उत्तर विकल्प 4 है।

सही वाक्य: When these gentle winds blow it is good to be in an open boat under full sail.

Key Points  

• The error lies in the part "an adventures of Tarzan."
• The error in the original sentence is the use of "an" before "adventures." 
• "An" should be replaced with "the" to indicate a specific set of adventures related to Tarzan.
• The correct answer is Option 2.
   

Correct sentence: Maruti likes adventure stories, especially the adventures of Tarzan.

The correct answer is ‘little money’.

Key Points

• The meaning of the given sentence suggests that the elder brother’s income is lesser than the younger brother's.
• The adjective ‘little’ is wrongly used to describe money. ‘Little’ means small and is a positive degree adjective.
• Here we need a comparative degree adjective to compare the earning of the younger brother and elder brother.
• Hence we should use ‘less money' instead of ‘little money.
• Thus option 1 i.e. ‘little money’ contains a grammatical error.

Correct Sentence -  I earn less money than my younger brother.

The erroneous part of the sentence is: This will be most difficult of

Key Points

• The error is in the omission of the article "the" before "most difficult."
• In English, articles (definite and indefinite) play a crucial role in indicating whether we are talking about specific or general things.
• In this case, using "the" before "most difficult" helps to specify that particular adjustment among others.
• The phrase "the most difficult of" indicates a comparison among a group of adjustments, stating that one particular adjustment is the most challenging.
• The article "the" is necessary before "most difficult" to make the comparison clear and grammatically correct.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3 which contains the error.

Corrected sentence: This will be the most difficult of the adjustments we have to make because we have been used to spending a lot on guests.
