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) Nandita asked me B) if I was working
C) hardly these days D) No error
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) hardly these days

Explanation:

The error is in third part. The adjective hard has two different adverbs, and they express opposite meanings. The adverb hard is used to modify a verb and means that the action is being done very intensely. The adverb hardly is used to modify a verb and means that the action is not being done very intensely. So there the correct usage will be ‘working hard’.

Q:

Read the following passage carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the question out of the four alternatives.

 


In short, to write a good letter you must approach the job in the lightest and most casual way. You must be personal, not abstract. You must not say, 'This is too small a thing to put down'. You must say, 'This is just the sort of small thing we talk about at home. If I tell them this they will see me, as it were they'll hear my voice, they'll know what I'm talking about'. That is the purpose of a letter. Carlyle had the trick to perfection. He is writing from Scotsbrig to his brother Alec in Canada and he begins talking about his mother. Good old Mother, he says, 'she is even now sitting at my back, trying at another table to write you a small word with her own hand; the first time she has tried such a thing for a year past. It is Saturday night, after dark; we are in the east room in a hard, dry evening with a bright fire to our two selves; Jenny and her Barns are 'scouring up things' in the other end of the house; and below stairs the winter operations of the farm go on, in a subdued tone; you can conceive the scene! How simple it is and yet how perfect. Can not you see Alec reading it in his far-off home and his eyes moistening at the picture of his old mother sitting and writing her last message to him on earth?

 

'Scouring up things' means ________.

 

A) cleaning pans with a small ball of wire or plastic B) to search a place thoroughly in order to find something
C) to put something in liquid for a time so that it becomes completely wet D) writing something quickly and carelessly
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) to search a place thoroughly in order to find something
