How to solve
Consider the following example and the solution given in order to comprehend the approach you can adopt while solving Grammar based questions of sentence improvement in the exam.
1. The three names luwe reached the Ministry of Law and Justice, who has been processing the files, ministry sources sand.
(a) who is processing the files
(c) which is processing the files
(b) which was processed
(d) who was processed the files
(e) No replacement required
Sol. In the above example relative pronoun ‘who’ has been used after ‘Ministry of Law and Justice’ which is not a human being. Hence, the usage of ‘who’ is incorrect. Now, we know that the relative pronoun which follows ‘non living things’ is ‘which’. Hence, either (c) or (b) is the correct option. Now, the question is not in passive voice, hence, (b) is not the correct option. Hence, (c) is the correct option.
As you can see, it becomes quite easier to choose the correct option if you are well versed with the rules and basics of grammar. Now, look at the following example based on vocabulary.
2. To cover the gap between rainfall and water scarcity, gout, will have to invest in desilting water storage in canals and minor water bodies.
(a) To bridge the gap between rainfall and water
(b) To take down the gap between rainfall and water
(c) To make for the gap between rainfall and water
(d) To make up the gap between rainfall and water
(e) No replacement required
Sol. To cover something means ‘put something on top of or in front of (something) in order to protect or conceal it’. Hence, it does not go with the meaning of the sentence. Now, ‘to take down’ means ‘to lower without removing’ hence, (b) is also not the appropriate option. Again, ‘to make for’ means’ to move or head towards something’ whereas, ‘to make up fer’ means ‘compensate for something lost, missed, or deficient. Hence, (c) and (d) are also not the correct option. ‘To bridge the gap’ means ‘to make the difference between two things smaller. Hence, (a) is the most appropriate option. Such commonly used phrases are given in the vocabulary section of this book.
