VIEW SOLUTION WITH EXPLANATION IN HINDI
1. He said that / he always kept in his pocket / a bundle of one hundred rupees notes. / NE
Answer: C
Explanation: Replace ‘rupees’ by ‘rupee’ in Part ‘C’. ‘Rupees notes’ एक compound noun (ऐसी noun जो दो या अधिक शब्दों से बनी हो). इस वाक्य में हमें इस noun के plural use की आवश्यकता है. Compound noun ‘rupees notes’ अशुद्ध रूप से plural बनाई गयी है क्योंकि जब किसी compound noun को plural बनाया जाता है तो केवल उसके main word को ही plural बनाया जाता है. इस compound noun का main word ‘note’ है, अतः इसका शुद्ध plural होगा ‘rupee notes’.
2. I am / learning a / new poetry. / NE
Answer: C
Explanation: Replace ‘poetry’ by ‘poem’ in part ‘C’. ‘Poetry’ एक uncountable noun है, लेकिन article ‘A’ के use के कारण से हमें यहाँ एक countable noun की जरूरत है, ‘poem’ एक countable noun होती है.
3. I will not / stay here another minute / if I can help it. / NE
Answer: D
Explanation: No error. ‘If one can help it’ एक idiom है, इसका अर्थ है — अगर कोई किसी स्थिति से बचने (avoid करना) में सक्षम हो; जैसे
a) Are you going to watch the school play? — Not if I can help it.
b) Is he taking a second job? — Not if his wife can help it.
c) He’s not riding on the back of that motorcycle, not if I can help it.
Translation in Hindi: अगर मैं ये avoid कर पाया तो मैं यहाँ एक मिनट भी नहीं रुकुंगा l
NOTE: This, Every, Another HIS, EVERY, ANOTHER और Last/Next + Time से पहले नहीं किसी preposition का प्रयोग नहीं किया जाता; जैसे
a) We can’t afford a holiday this year.
b) Where did you go last weekend?
c) My exams finish next Tuesday afternoon.
d) I will not stay here another minute.
4. I am sorry / but I will not believe the story / you have told me. / NE
Answer: B
Explanation: Replace ‘will not believe’ by ‘do not believe’ in part ‘B’. Verb ‘believe’ का प्रयोग future tense में नहीं किया जाता.
5. Three fourths of the population / have no access to / clean water. / NE
Answer: B
Explanation: Replace ‘have’ by ‘has’ in part ‘B’. यदि निम्नलिखित के बाद singular countable, अथवा uncountable nouns का प्रयोग हो तो हम singular verbs का प्रयोग करते हैं, और इनके बाद यदि plural countable nouns का प्रयोग हो तो plural verbs का प्रयोग होता है:
| One third of | Two thirds of | Three fourths of, etc. | The rest of |
| A quarter of | Part of |
a) Three fourths of the wheat has been consumed.
b) One third of the house is yet to be repaired.
c) One third of the students have passed.
NOTE: संख्या ‘one’ के बाद singular fractional number का प्रयोग होता है, और किसी plural number के बाद plural fractional number का प्रयोग होता है, जैसे
a- i) one fourth
11) two fourths
b-i) one third
ii) three thirds
6. My grandfather owns/ fifty acre / of wet land. / NE
Answer: B
Explanation: Replace ‘acre’ by ‘acres’ in part ‘B’. यदि किसी number (यहाँ ‘fifty) के तुरंत बाद बिन preposition ‘of’ के कोई unit (यहाँ ‘acre’) हो तो हम उस unit को singular form में प्रयोग करते हैं, लेकिन unit के बाद यहाँ preposition OF का use है तो unit plural form में आएगी.
7. The temple is / within a hundred yards / from my house / NE
Answer: D
Explanation: No error. यहाँ article ‘A’ का use ‘hundred’ के लिए हुआ है, ‘yards’ के लिए नहीं. A hundred = one hundred.
8. It is I / who is responsible / for the delay. / NE
Answer: B
Explanation: Replace ‘who is’ by ‘who am’ in part ‘B’. Relative pronouns जैसे कि Who, Which, That के लिए verb इनके antecedents (वह noun या pronoun जिसके लिए कोई relative pronoun use होती है) के अनुसार आती है. दिए गये वाक्य में relative pronoun ‘who’ का antecedent pronoun ‘I’ है, इसलिए verb ‘am’ का use होगा; e.g.
INCORRECT: I, who is a doctor, will examine you.
CORRECT: I, who am a doctor, will examine him.
INCORRECT: The boys who lives here are always disturbing.
CORRECT: The boys who live here are always disturbing.
9. I will try to be on time / but don’t worry / when I am late. / NE
Answer: C
Explanation: Replace ‘when’ by ‘if’ in part ‘C’. Clause ‘I am late’ यहाँ कारण है, इसलिए ये एक conditional clause बनेगा.
10. If you had told me / I would have helped you / solve the problem / NE
Answer: D
Explanation: No error. Verb ‘help + object’ के बाद ‘TO + V1’ भी सही होती है और ‘V1 without TO’ भी सही होती है, अर्थात यहाँ ‘solve’ भी शुद्ध है और ‘to solve’ भी.
11. This machine looks / good but is very / badly designed and doesn’t work good. / NE
Answer: C
Explanation: Replace ‘good’ by ‘ ‘well’ in part ‘C’. ‘Good’ केवल एक adjective होता है जबकि ‘well’ एक adjective भी होता है और एक adverb भी. यहाँ हमें एक ऐसे शब्द की जरूरत है जो verb (work) को describe कर सके. ऐसा शब्द जो किसी verb को describes करता हो उसको adverb कहते हैं, adjective नहीं, इसलिए यहाँ ‘well’ शुद्ध होगा.
12. No country can long endure / if its foundations / are not laid deep in the material prosperity. / NE
Answer: A
Explanation: Shift ‘long’ after ‘endure’, अर्थात part ‘A’ में ये ‘endure long’ होगा. ‘Long’ adjective भी होता है और adverb भी. यहाँ हमें verb (endure) को describe करने वाला शब्द चाहिए. ऐसा शब्द जो किसी verb को describes करता हो उसको adverb कहते हैं, adjective नहीं. शब्द ‘long’ जब कोई adverb होता है तो ये verb के बाद use होता है.
13. A computer virus works exactly / like the biological variety / which invade the human body. / NE
Answer: C
Explanation: Replace ‘invade’ by ‘invades’ in part ‘C’. ‘Which’ यहाँ noun ‘virus’ के लिए relative pronoun है जो की एक singular noun है.
14. I took her for a ride / on the motorcycle / which Rohit has bought yesterday. / NE
Answer: C
Explanation: Replace ‘has bought’ by ‘bought’ in part ‘C’ क्योंकि ‘yesterday’ का use Simple Past Tense के लिए ही होता है.
15. Go up the beach and watch for tourists / so you could warn anyone / before they get to the water. / NE
Answer: B
Explanation: Replace ‘so’ by ‘so that’ in part ‘B’. ‘Could warn anyone’ यहाँ ‘beach’ पर जाने का उद्देश्य (purpose) है. किसी purpose के लिए ‘so that’ use किया जाता है, ‘so’ नहीं.
16. Whom would / you like to be / if you weren’t yourself? / NE
Answer: A
Explanation: Replace ‘whom’ by ‘who’ in part ‘A’. यहाँ हमें infinitive ‘to be’ के लिए pronoun की जरूरत है. Infinitive ‘to be’ BE के लिए pronoun subjective case में use की जाती है, objective case में नहीं. Subjective pronoun ‘who’ होती है, ‘whom तो objective pronoun है.
NOTE: लेकिन यदि infinitive ‘to be’ के लिए subject और object दोनों ही में pronouns की आवश्यकता होती है तो दोनों ही जगह objective pronouns का use किया जाता है, जैसे
They guessed him to be me. (इस वाक्य में ‘to be’ का subject ‘him’ है और इसका object ‘me’ है.)
17. My scooter is being serviced / so I am going to the office / by walk. / NE
Answer: C
Explanation: Replace ‘by walk’ by ‘on foot’ in part ‘C’. कहीं पैदल जाने के लिए शुद्ध phrase ‘on foot’ होता है, ‘by walk’ नहीं; जैसे
a) The bus didn’t come, so we set off on foot.
b) It takes about 30 minutes on foot, or 10 minutes by car.
18. He was irritated at her suggestion / that he cooked / while she went out shopping. / NE
Answer: B
Explanation: Replace ‘cooked’ by ‘cook’ in part ‘B’. ऐसा ही एक और example:
He was chafing at her suggestion that he stay at home while she went on a vacation.
Chafe = बहुत अधिक चिडचिडा होना या गुस्से में होना
19. When the professors are on strike / and a notice of this effect is pasted on the university gate / there is no sense to go there. / NE
Answer: C
Explanation: Replace ‘to go’ by ‘in going’ in part ‘C’. ‘Sense in doing something’ = कुछ करने का कारण होना, इसलिए यहाँ उचित phrase ‘no sense in going’ होगा. ऐसे ही कुछ और example:
a) What is the sense in making things more difficult for yourself?
b) There’s no sense in waiting, the next train isn’t for two hours.
20. I remember / meet him / five years ago. /NE
Answer: B
Explanation: Replace ‘meet’ by ‘meeting’ in part ‘B’. यह past की किसी घटना का स्मरण होना है, ऐसे में हम verb ‘remember’ के साथ ‘ing form’ का use करते हैं. ये समझने के लिए ये पढ़िए:
Remember + -ing form
अगर हमारे mind में past की किसी घटना का स्मरण होता है तो verb ‘remember’ के साथ ‘ing form’ का use किया जाता है ; जैसे
a) I remember meeting her once, it must have been about five years ago. (Not remember to meet)
b) She said she didn’t remember getting an email from him.
c) I remember asking one of my sons about this.
NOTE: Remember + to-infinitive
जब हम कुछ करना भूलते नहीं हैं तो verb ‘remember’ के साथ ‘to-infinitive’ का use किया जाता है; जैसे
a) He remembered to turn the gas off.
b) Remember to save your work often, just in case your computer crashes.
21. Dipu hopes to become an officer after / he will complete / his higher education. / NE
Answer: B
Explanation: Replace ‘will complete’ by ‘has completed’ in part ‘B’. Time clauses में future time को बताने के लिए आमतौर पर Present Simple Tense का use किया जाता है. लेकिन यदि हम एक ऐसे action की बात कर रहे हों जो एक लम्बी अवधि में होता है तो ‘after’ के बाद Present Perfect tense का use किया जाता है. यहाँ ‘after’ एक conjunction है, ‘after’ जब एक conjunction होता है तो इसके बाद वाला clause एक Time Clause होता है; जैसे
After I have finished typing this paper, I’m going to meet my uncle.
22. Dr APJ Abdul Kalam’s life was a / sage of dedication in the / cause of educational reforms in India. / NE
Answer: B
Explanation: Replace ‘sage’ by ‘saga’ in part ‘B’. SAGA = एक लम्बे समय तक भूतकाल की घटनाओं के बारे में वर्णन; जैसे
23. Sunita is feeling little uncomfortable today / because she is ill, so she can perform / her work after having some rest for a while. / NE
Answer: A
Explanation: Replace ‘little’ by ‘a little’ in part ‘A’. शब्द ‘little’ का प्रयोग almost negative अर्थों में किया जाता है. लेकिन context के अनुसार हमें यहाँ positive अर्थ वाला शब्द चाहिए, इसलिए यहाँ ‘a little’ शुद्ध होगा.
24. Everything are packed / and ready / to leave. / NE
Answer: A
Explanation: Replace ‘everything are’ by ‘all are’ in part ‘A’. यहाँ हमें persons को refer कने वाला शब्द चाहिये.
25. Book I gave / you is very good for /any competitive exam. /NE
Answer: A
Explanation: Replace ‘book’ by ‘the book’ in part ‘A’. यदि किसी noun के बाद किसी phrase या clause का प्रयोग हुआ हो तो वह noun specific बन जाती है, और इसलिए उस noun से पहले article ‘the’ का use होता है. यहाँ noun ‘book’ के बाद एक clause (I gave you) का प्रयोग हुआ है, अतः यहाँ भी noun ‘book’ के पहले article ‘the’ का use होगा; जैसे
a) The girl in blue is my sister. (‘In blue’ is a phrase which has made the girl specific)
b) The boy that I met is a tennis player. (‘That I met’ is a clause which has made the boy specific)
NOTE: Clause ‘I gave you’ से पहले यहाँ Relative Pronoun ‘that’ का use किया भी जा सकता है और नहीं भी, ये यहाँ समझिये:
The Relative Pronoun can be removed if it’s in the Objective Case of a Defining Clause; e.g.
a) She is the girl whom I love.
= She is the girl I love.
b) He is the actor that I like most.
= He is the actor I like most.
c) This is the flat which Mohan bought.
= This is the flat Mohan bought.
