English Grammar Solution

S1. Ans(d)
S2. Ans(c)
Sol. Within (Prep.) a stipulated time means before that length of time has passed. Hence, “within” will replace “with” in the given sentence.
S3. Ans(b)
Sol. Replace “equally” with “as”. We use as + adjective/adverb + as to make comparisons when the things we are comparing are equal in some way.
S4. Ans(a)
Sol. When more than one adjective comes before a noun, the adjectives are normally in a particular order: Opinion> size> physical quality> shape> age> color>origin> material> type>purpose. Replace “I love that beautiful old big green antique” with “I love that beautiful big old green antique”.
S5. Ans(a)
Sol. Use inversion here because we are using the “WH” family word to ask a question. So use the helping verb before the main subject.
S6. Ans(a)
Sol. For showing possession of a living being we use “whose”. Replace “books of whose” with “whose books”.
S7. Ans(c)
Sol. Replace “his” with “one’s” because the possessive pronoun of “one” is “one’s”.
S8. Ans(c)
Sol. Replace “one another” with “each other”. When several nouns that are in action at a time are two, we use each other.
S9. Ans(b)
Sol. “Hive off” is the correct idiom to use. It means to separate one part of a company, usually by selling it. Replace “hive out” with “hive off”.
S10. Ans(d)
