Q:

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


The flora and fauna of Cubbon Park captures our attention more than anything else. But when you take time to look closely at the statue, you will marvel at its sheer grandeur. Sculpted by Sir Thomas Brock, the 11 feet high marble statue is larger than life. It brings out the personality of Queen Victoria, who had been the Monarch of Great Britain from 1837 till 1901, depicting a rather proud, stern person with pronounced features.

In 1906, the statue was unveiled in the city by George Frederick Ernest Albert, Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall and York, making it stand in all its glory in its 111th year. Even though there is a wealth of history to the statue, and it was made to appear imposing, the busy Bengalureans would probably refer to it as just another landmark. As the workers are busy in discussion on the instructions given to them, life continues as usual in the Park.


Queen Victoria had all of the following traits, except ______________.

A) proud B) generous
C) stern D) pronounced features

Q:

Improve the given sentence if necessary.

One is often pleased with himself.

A) with one’s self B) with themselves
C) with oneself D) No improvement
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) with oneself

Explanation:

The possessive form of pronoun ‘one’ is ‘oneself’. So the phrase ‘with himself’ needs to be replaced with ‘with oneself’ to make the sentence grammatically correct. Thus, the correct formation would be, ‘One is often pleased with oneself’.
