Q:

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

My coat's pretty warm, even though it cost £9.99 and came from the flea market. It had a label in it, CHRISTIN BIOR, but I cut it out as soon as I got home. You can't work where I work and have CHRISTIN BIOR in your coat. You could have a genuine vintage Christian Dior label. Or something Japanese. Or maybe no label because you make your clothes yourself out of retro fabrics that you source at Alfies Antiques. But not CHRISTIN BIOR.

As I get near Catford Bridge, I start to feel a knot of tension. I really don't want to be late today. My boss has started throwing all sorts of hissy fits about people "swanning in at all times," so I left an extra twenty minutes early, in case it was a bad day. I can already see: It's a god-awful day. They've been having a lot of problems on our line recently and keep cancelling trains with no warning. Trouble is, in London rush hour, you can't just cancel trains. What are all the people who were planning to get on that train supposed to do? Evaporate?

What aspect of the coat she wanted to hide?

A) That is was too warm. B) That it was a cheap copy.
C) That it was expensive. D) That it was from a luxury market.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) That it was a cheap copy.

Q:

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any part

She told her teacher that she (a)could not be able to attend the class the (b)am previous day because of heavy rains.(c)No error.(d)

A) a B) b
C) c D) d
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) b

Explanation:

The phrase ‘could not be able’ needs to be replaced with ‘was not able’ to make the sentence correct. As the action has already taken place so use of modal is incorrect. Thus, the correct sentence would be, ‘She told her teacher that she was not able to attend the class the previous day because of heavy rains’.
