Improve the given sentence if necessary.

Decide one way or the other; you can’t be sitting on the fence forever.

A) be seated on the fence B) be sitting and fencing
C) be dancing on the fence D) No improvement
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) No improvement

Explanation:

‘Sitting on the fence’ is the correct idiom used. It is used to describe a person’s lack of decisiveness, neutrality or hesitance to choose between two sides in an argument or a competition, or inability to decide due to lack of courage. Thus, the sentence is grammatically and contextually correct. Thus, the correct formation would be, ‘Decide one way or the other; you can’t be sitting on the fence forever’.

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’.
