Daily Quiz for Competitive Exams – English Language: Solutions

Solutions

S1.Ans.(a)

Sol. The segment with a grammatical error is (a) in the annual meeting, the management will discusses about the.

The error is in the verb form.

The verb ‘discuss’ follows ‘will’, which is a modal verb.

When a verb follows a modal verb, it is always in its base form.

Therefore, ‘discusses’ should be changed to ‘discuss’.

Furthermore, ‘discuss’ is a transitive verb and does not require the preposition ‘about’ after it.

So, the correct sentence should be: In the annual meeting, the management will discuss the company’s performance; each department is asked to prepare a presentation; the CEO will give the final remarks; however, the date of the meeting is not yet confirmed.

S2.Ans.(d)

Sol. The correct answer is (d) No improvement.

The original sentence is, “He has always been interested in biology, and his passion for understanding the human body has led him to a career in medicine.”

Let’s analyze each option:

Lead him to a career in medicine – The simple present tense “lead” is incorrect here. The past perfect “has led” is appropriate because it shows an action that started in the past and has an effect or relevance in the present.

Have led him to a career in medicine – The use of “have” is incorrect with the singular noun “passion”. We should use “has” with singular nouns.

Leads him to a career in medicine – This is in the simple present tense and indicates a current, ongoing action. It doesn’t convey the idea of an action that started in the past and continues to have an effect in the present as the original sentence does.

Considering the above explanations, the original sentence is grammatically correct and conveys the intended meaning. Therefore, the correct answer is (d) No improvement.

‘lead him to a career in medicine’ is incorrect because ‘lead’ is the base form of the verb and doesn’t maintain the past action reference.

‘have led him to a career in medicine’ is incorrect because ‘he’ is a singular subject that does not agree with ‘have’. The correct form with ‘he’ is ‘has’.

‘leads him to a career in medicine’ is incorrect because it changes the tense to present simple, indicating a general or recurring action, rather than a completed action with continuing relevance, which is the intended meaning here.

S3.Ans.(b)

Sol. The correct answer is (b) CABD.

The explanation for each sentence in the correct order is as follows:

C. “A cyclone is a large scale air mass that rotates around a strong center of low atmospheric pressure.” – This sentence gives a definition of what a cyclone is, so it should be the first sentence.

“This condition can delay the onset of monsoon winds in the affected region.” – Here, “This condition” refers to the cyclone described in sentence C. Thus, it logically follows after sentence C.

“The high-pressure system created by a cyclone often pushes the monsoon winds away.” – This sentence gives a more specific explanation of how a cyclone can affect the monsoon winds, which continues the discussion from sentence A.

“Therefore, the occurrence of a cyclone can significantly influence the timing of monsoon onset.” – This sentence provides a conclusion based on the information given in sentences A and B, so it should be the last sentence.

S4.Ans.(a)

Sol. Option (a) is the correct synonym of the given word.

Albeit” is a conjunction used in formal English. It introduces a fact or comment which reduces the force or significance of what you have just said.

Synonyms: although, though, notwithstanding, despite the fact that, in spite of the fact that.

Antonyms: therefore, consequently, as a result, thus, hence.

Meanings of all options-

Though: It is used to introduce a contrast or contradiction; it means “despite the fact that” or “although”.

However: It is used to introduce a statement that contrasts with or seems to contradict something that has been said previously.

Because: It is used to introduce a reason or explanation for an action, event, or situation; it means “for the reason that”.

Hence: It is used to indicate a consequence or an inference from what has been stated before; it means “as a result” or “therefore”.

S5.Ans.(d)

Sol. Option (d) is the correct meaning of the given word.

Ambush: to surprise someone by making a sudden attack from a hidden place

Synonyms: surprise, waylay, trap, ensnare, attack unexpectedly.

Antonyms: avoid, ignore, bypass, retreat, run away.

Meanings of all options-

Withdraw: To pull back or remove oneself from a situation or commitment.

Confront: To face, meet, or deal with a difficult or hostile situation or person.

Dodge: To avoid (someone or something) by a sudden quick movement.

Surprise: To cause someone to feel sudden shock or amazement due to being unexpected or unusual.

S6.Ans.(c)

Sol. Option (c) is the correct active voice of the given sentence.

Active Voice– Active voice is a grammatical structure in which the subject of the sentence performs the action expressed by the verb.

Passive Voice– Passive voice refers to a grammatical construction where the subject of a sentence undergoes an action rather than performing it. In passive voice sentences, the emphasis is on the recipient or object of the action.

Rule for converting active to passive voice or vice-versa-

Subject + was, were + verb + ing + object -> <- Object + auxiliary verb (was, were) + being + past participle + by + subject.

According to the given rule,

Option (c), “The drivers considered the speed-breakers a menace to smooth driving.” is the correct active voice of the given sentence.

S7.Ans.(b)

Sol. Option (b) is incorrectly spelt word.

Correct spelling is “Substantial”.

Meanings of all options-

Philanthropist: A person who seeks to promote the welfare of others, often through the donation of money to good causes.

Substantial: Of considerable importance, size, or worth.

University: An educational institution designed for instruction, examination, or both, of students in many branches of advanced learning, conferring degrees in various faculties.

Disadvantaged: Lacking in the basic resources or conditions (such as standard housing, medical and educational facilities, and civil rights) needed for a healthy and comfortable life.

S8.Ans.(b)

Sol. Option (b) has no spelling errors.

In other options “Embezzlement” is incorrectly spelt which means the act of dishonestly appropriating or secreting assets, usually financial in nature, by one or more individuals to whom such assets have been entrusted.

S9.Ans.(b)

Sol. The segment with a grammatical error is (b) if I would have.

The sentence is a third conditional sentence, which is used to describe a situation in the past that didn’t happen.

The correct structure of the third conditional is: If + Past Perfect, would have + past participle.

Therefore, instead of ‘would have’ after ‘if’, we should use ‘had’. The sentence should read: “The party would have been more enjoyable if I had invited my friends.”

S10.Ans.(d)

Sol. Option (d) is the correct meaning of the given phrase.

Abide by– Follow or obey a rule, law, or agreement.

Phrase used in sentence- All participants in the competition must abide by the rules and regulations provided by the organizers.
