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 has been the problem with London trains lately?

A) The trains have become awful. B) There are more trains during rush hour.
C) People are late to work because of train delays. D) Trains are cancelled without prior intimation.
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Trains are cancelled without prior intimation.

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’.

One of the assistant(a) was(b) Alfred(c). No error.(d)

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

Explanation:

‘One of the assistant’ needs to be replaced with ‘one of the assistants’ to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. This is because, ‘One of’ is always followed by a plural noun.
