English Grammar Solution

S1. Ans. (a)

Sol. As the selection is to be made thus “thing” should be made plural.

S2. Ans. (a)

Sol. If hardly, scarcely, barely and no sooner are in the initial position, the subject and the auxiliary verb are inverted.

And when a story is told in the past tense, the adverbials hardly, scarcely, barely and no sooner take past tense of verb.

For e.g. Hardly had I arrived home when my phone rang.

Hence option (a) improves the sentence.

S3. Ans. (b)

Sol. As the time mentioned is of structure past of past thus it should be “had captained”.

S4. Ans. (a)

Sol. Touch on /upon is a phrasal verb which means “to mention a subject”.

S5. Ans. (b)

Sol. Event has already happened in the past thus past indefinite should be used. Hence, “lived” is correct.

S6. Ans. (a)

Sol. “Cautiously” is an adverb thus it would qualify “lifted”.

S7. Ans. (a)

Sol. After “be” verb we use an adjective and “conscientious” is an adjective which should be used thus option (a) is correct.

S8. Ans. (a)

Sol. The sentence requires a ‘Past indefinite tense’.
