Q:

Improve the given sentence if necessary.

I am living in Bombay for the last ten years.

A) had lived B) have been living
C) lived D) No improvement
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) have been living

Explanation:

If some action has started in the past and is still continuing, then present perfect continuous tense should be used instead of present continuous tense. So, the phrase ‘am living’ needs to be replaced with ‘have been living’ to make the sentence contextually correct. Thus, the correct formation would be, ‘I have been living in Bombay for the last ten years’.

Q:

Improve the given sentence if necessary.

Unless you are not very careful, you will run into debt.

A) are very B) will be very
C) may be D) No improvement
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) are very

Explanation:

‘Unless’ is used to denote the condition i.e. ‘If’...... ‘Not’. So, again the use of negative word ‘not’ is superfluous. So, the phrase, ‘are not very’ needs to be replaced with ‘are very’ to make the sentence grammatically correct. Thus, the correct formation would be, ‘Unless, you are very careful, you will run into debt’.
