The correct answer is '4' i.e. his sister brush off .

Key Points

• The given sentence uses the phrasal verb "brush off" incorrectly.
• The correct phrasal verb to use in this context is "brush up on", which means to improve or refresh one's knowledge or skill in a particular area.
• The correct sentence should be "Kevin must help his sister brush up on her French before she leaves for Paris."

Additional Information

• Common Phrasal Verbs:
  • Brush up on: Improve or refresh one's knowledge or skill in a particular area.
  • Brush off: Dismiss someone or something in a casual or disdainful way.
  • Brush aside: Ignore or dismiss something as unimportant.

Key Points

• The phrase "I will have been studied" contains a grammatical error in the use of the verb form.
• For future perfect continuous tense, the correct structure is "will have been" + present participle (verb+ing), e.g., "will have been studying."
• The incorrect use of the past participle "studied" instead of "studying" violates the tense formation rules.
• Thus, the error is located in part 1 of the sentence.

Additional Information

• Part 4: "At 6 p.m. tomorrow," is a correct time phrase indicating a future reference point.
• Part 3: "for five hours straight." correctly expresses the duration of the action.
• No error option is incorrect as the sentence contains a clear tense error in part 1.

The error is in option 1) sooner come.

Key Points

• The phrase "I will sooner come" is incorrect because "sooner" is a comparative adverb and should be used in the correct comparative structure.
• The correct phrase should be "I would sooner come", which is an idiomatic expression meaning "I would prefer to come".

Correct sentence: I would sooner come to your new house.

Key Points

• The phrase is correctly structured and does not contain an error.
• The correct structure of the sentence is maintained, and no grammatical errors are present in any part.
• Thus, there is no error in any part of the sentence.

Key Points

• The primary issue in the sentence is the incorrect use of the phrase "on every Friday."
• The correct phrase should be "every Friday" without the preposition "on."
• This correction ensures grammatical accuracy and clarity.
• Thus, the error is located in part C of the sentence.

Additional Information

• A: "The committee members," – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• B: "have agreed to," – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• D: "to review the progress." – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• No error – This would be the correct option if there were no mistakes in the sentence, but there is an error in part C.

The erroneous part is 'recall to meet'.

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'recall meeting' should be used instead of 'recall to meet'.
• Some verbs should be followed by a to-infinitive (e.g., to go), while others require a gerund (e.g., going).
• Gerunds are derived from verbs. They end in -ing and act as nouns. 
• In the given sentence the verb 'recall' will be followed by a gerund.
  • Example: You may have difficulty determining the cause of the fire.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.
   

Correct Sentence: Did you recall meeting her at the party last night?

The erroneous part is 'having the trouble'.

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'taking the trouble' should be used instead of 'having the trouble'.
• The meaning of 'It’s worth + ing/noun' is 'Good or important enough to justify taking action (कार्रवाई करने का औचित्य साबित करने के लिए पर्याप्त अच्छा या महत्वपूर्ण)'.
  • Example: It’s worth buying a course if writing feedback is included.
• In the given context 'taking' should be used because 'taking the trouble' is an idiomatic expression.
• It means 'exert effort and energy in accomplishing or attempting something (कुछ हासिल करने या प्रयास करने में प्रयास और ऊर्जा लगाना)'.
  • Example: We should take the trouble to find out more. 
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.
   

Correct Sentence: It is not worth taking the trouble to write to him as he never replies.

The erroneous part is option 4) i.e. 'work.'

Key Points 

• The error lies in the part 'work.'
• We can note that the preposition 'of' is used before the word 'work,' which is a verb.
• The word that must come after 'of' should be the object of the preposition 'of'. Hence, a gerund (working) must be placed after it.
• A gerund is a verb that ends in '-ing' and functions as a noun or object.
• Therefore we need to use the gerund form of the verb 'work'  which is 'working' after the preposition 'of.'
• Therefore in the given sentence, we need to use 'working' in place of 'work' to make the sentence grammatically correct.
• Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

Correct sentence: Has Gita any previous knowledge of working with junior colleagues?

The error lies in part B; either use "could" or "be able to"

Key Points

• In the sentence use of could be able to is superfluous, because could and be able to have the same meaning and function in the sentence.
• Here, we can make the sentences appropriate by removing either of the two.
  • hence the correct sentences would be:

1. After changing the punctured tyre we could continue our journey.✔️
2. After changing the punctured tyre we were able to continue our journey.✔️​​

Important Point

• NOTE: Can = be able to

The erroneous part is 'Usually, Ratheesh hasn't'.

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'Usually, Ratheesh doesn't' should be used instead of 'Usually, Ratheesh hasn't'.
• The word "hasn't" is a contraction of "has not," which is present perfect tense.
• However, in the sentence, we need to use the simple present tense because the sentence is talking about Ratheesh's usual behavior. The verb "doesn't" is the contracted form of "does not," which is the correct verb form to use in this sentence.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.
   

Correct Sentence: Usually, Ratheesh doesn't take part in these types of events because of his hectic schedule.

The correct answer is Option 2) i.e. 2.

Explanation:

• ​The verbs/adjectives/phrases given below are followed by 'V₁ + ing':
  •  with a view to, addicted to, given/taken to, prone to, in addition to, look forward to, owing to, etc.
• For example:
  • ​I look forward to have a great time with you.
  • I look forward to having a great time with you.
• According to the rule and the example given above, 'saying' will be used instead of 'say' in the 2nd part of the sentence.

Correct Sentence: The comedian is prone to saying offensive things during her stand-up routine.

• ​​​Though 'V₁' is used after 'to infinitive' but these verbs/phrases are exceptions. 
• Hence this point must be kept in mind while attempting these kinds of questions.

The erroneous part is option 2) i.e. 'it don’t matter to them.'

Key Points 

• The error lies in the part 'it don’t matter to them.'
• According to the rules of grammar, the pronoun 'it' is a third person singular number and after it 's/es' form of verb will be used.
• Therefore we have to use 'doesn't.'
• Example:
  • ​It doesn't have a price label on it.
• Therefore in the given sentence, we need to use 'doesn't' in place of 'don't' to make the sentence grammatically correct.
• Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

Correct sentence: Rehan and Ronit are good friends and it doesn’t matter to them as to who is wealthier.

The correct answer is "his father beat him".

Key Points

• The grammatical error is in the third segment of the given sentence.
• It is more appropriate to use 'beating' after 'stand' to indicate something he couldn't tolerate. The continuous tense indicates an ongoing action that the boy can't stand.
  • For example: "She couldn't sleep because she heard the dog barking all night."
• The segment with the correct verb will be "his father beating him".

Correct sentence: The boy had run away because he couldn’t stand his father beating him for one more day.

The erroneous part is "carry milk"

Key Points

• In the given sentence, the usage of "carry" is incorrect instead of this we need to use "carrying"
• In the given sentence, there are two clauses the main clause and the subordinate clause. In the subordinate clause, i.e. "before clause" "returned" is the main verb and a transitive verb and we know that after the transitive verb we always need to use an object. 
• "carry" is a verb hence, we need to use a present participle form of this i.e. "carrying" so the main object will be "milk". "carrying" will tell about "milk".

So the correct sentence is- Several minutes had passed before she returned carrying milk for the dog.

The correct answer is Option 2) i.e. B.

Explanation:

• ​The verbs given below have the same present, past, and past participle forms:
  •  bid, cut, hurt, put, broadcast, shed, quit, spread, etc.
• For example:
  • ​I have quitted smoking.
  • ​I have quit smoking.
• According to the rule and the example given above, 'broadcast' will be used instead of 'broadcasted' in the 2nd part of the sentence.

Correct Sentence: She is to host a new half-hour show which will be broadcast every weekday evening.

• ​​​Though 'broadcasted' is used in slangs but this term is grammatically incorrect. 
• Hence this point must be kept in mind while attempting these kinds of questions.
