Q:

Correct the given sentence gramatically.

Shreya, who she is my best friend, is a singer.

A) Shreya, she who is my best friend, is a singer. B) Shreya, who is my best friend, is a singer.
C) Shreya, is my best friend, who she is a singer. D) All of the above

Answer:   B) Shreya, who is my best friend, is a singer.



Explanation:

The relative pronoun acts as the subject or object of the relative clause. It replaces words like she, he, him, her, they, them etc.

It is, therefore, wrong to repeat the pronoun in the relative clause.

 

Hence, the correct sentence is Shreya, who is my best friend, is a singer.

Q:

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response in the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter i.e., (a) or (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).

A) It is not difficult to believe that a man B) who has lived in this for a long time
C) he will never feel at home anywhere else in the world. D) No error
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) he will never feel at home anywhere else in the world.

Explanation:

Error is in third part. By writing ‘who’ in the second part it has already been made clear that the sentence talks about ‘a man’. The use of ‘he’ becomes redundant or repetitive. By omitting ‘he’ the sentence becomes grammatically correct.

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response in the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter i.e., (a) or (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).

A) Being a rainy day B) we did not feel like going out or doing anything
C) except playing chess in our room. D) No error
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Being a rainy day

Explanation:

The error is in first part. If we start the sentence with being, it means that we were rainy which is incorrect. The sentence indicates that the day was Rainy, and the day will be denoted by ‘It’. So ‘It being a rainy day’ will be the correct idiomatic expression. Otherwise the meaning of the sentence changes.

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response in the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter i.e., (a) or (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).

A) I waited B) for her return
C) with growing unease D) No error
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) with growing unease

Explanation:

The error is in third part. “unease” is wrong expression because it is in noun form. Correct usage will be “with growing “uneasiness”, which is an adjective qualifying wait. Which means as time passed while I waited, I grew more and more uneasy.
