English Grammar Solution

S1. Ans(a)

S2. Ans(a)

Sol. Correct phrase is “one of the”. The general rule for usage of the phrase “one of the” is: One of the + PLURAL NOUN + that/who etc. + SINGULAR/PLURAL VERB.

Hence, “is one of a lead cause” should be replaced with “is one of the lead causes”.

S3. Ans(a)

S4. Ans(a)

Sol. Be in the eye of a storm: To be at the center of or deeply involved in an especially difficult, stressful, or hectic situation or period of time.

Wet behind the ears: lacking experience; immature.

S5. Ans(c)

S6. Ans(a)

Sol. Replace “highlight” with “highlights”. “A report” is a singular subject thus it requires singular form of verb.

S7. Ans(d)

Sol. Multitudinous: existing in or consisting of innumerable elements or aspects.

S8. Ans(b)

Sol. The sentence is in past indefinite hence there is no need to use ‘being’ in it. Also, we need to-infinitive to qualify the adjective ‘difficult’. So, “was being track” should be replaced with “was to track”.

S9. Ans(c)

S10. Ans(d)
