VIEW SOLUTION WITH EXPLANATION IN HINDI
1. Long life is good/ if one be happy/ and has friends. / NE
Answer: B
Explanation: Replace ‘be’ with ‘is’ in part ‘B’. Part ‘B’ में ‘Be’ एक verb है. जब ‘be’ एक verb होती है तो ‘be’ खुद use नहीं होती बल्कि इसके स्थान पर इसकी कोई form use की जाती है. क्योंकि subject ‘one’ singular है इसलिए ‘be’ के स्थान पर ‘is’ का use होगा.
2. It is these obscene films / that lead the youths / to their moral degradation. / NE
Answer: B
Explanation: Replace ‘youths’ by ‘youth’ in part ‘B’. यहाँ ‘youths’ का अर्थ है ‘युवा व्यक्ति’. इस अर्थ में ‘youth’ एक uncountable noun होती है; अर्थात यहाँ आप इसको plural form में use नहीं कर सकते.
3. Aren’t your father / and your elder brother / out of town? / NE
Answer: D
Explanation: No error. ‘Your’ को यहाँ दोहराना बिल्कुल शुद्ध है क्योंकि father और brother दोनों अलग-अलग व्यक्ति हैं.
4. The company is using / influence to persuade people / to buy its refrigerators. / NE
Answer: B
Explanation: Place ‘its’ before influence’ in part ‘B’ क्योंकि यहाँ possessive adjective का use किये जाने की आवश्यकता है; जैसे
a) The government should continue to use its influence for the release of all hostages.
b) He used his influence to get his son into medical school.
5. We have paid for our travel and accommodation expenses/so we need only to take/ some pocket-money with us. / NE
Answer: B
Explanation: Shift ‘only’ between ‘we’ and ‘need’ in part ‘B’. यदि वाक्य में किसी helping verb का use नहीं है तो main verb ‘be’ को छोड़कर शब्द ‘only’ को subject और main verb के बीच में रखा जाता है; जैसे
INCORRECT: She goes to temple once a week only.
CORRECT: She only goes to temple once a month.
6. Manslaughter is / where a person / is killed unlawfully. / NE
Answer: B
Explanation: Part ‘B’. Replace WHERE with WHEN. Word WHERE को किसी स्थान के लिए use किया जाता है. Noun ‘manslaughter’ किसी स्थान का नाम नहीं है; बल्कि ये कोई crime है.
7. Modern youth pay attention / to seeing films / than reading books. / NE
Answer: C
Explanation: Part ‘C’. Replace ‘than’ by rather than’. हम rather than का use तब करते हैं जब हमें दो वस्तुओं में से एक को अधिक महत्व देना होता है; ऐसे में अकेले THAN का use नहीं किया जाता. THAN का use पहले अगर कोई comparative degree का adjective दिया होता है तब किया जाता है.
a) He wanted to be an actor rather than a comedian.
b) Can we come over on Saturday rather than Friday?
c) I think I’d like to stay at home this evening rather than go out.
8. Leisure should be utilized / not in idling with the time saved but in engaging in / some useful and pleasurable activity. / NE
Answer: B
Explanation: Part ‘B’. Replace IDLING WITH by IDLING AWAY. Phrase IDLE AWAY = कुछ न करते हुए सुस्ता कर समय गुजारना; जैसे
We idled away the hours drinking and playing cards.
9. I / have been studying / since four hours. / NE
Answer: C
Explanation: Part ‘C’. Replace SINCE by FOR क्योंकि FOUR HOURS is not समय कि एक अवधि है (a period of time); point in time नहीं.
10. Not a word does he know / of any language / but his own. / NE
Answer: C
Explanation: Part ‘C’. Conjunction BUT के बाद preposition OF की आवश्यकता है.
