English Grammar Solution

S1. Ans(d)

Sol. If two singular nouns are joined with and to express something about a person, thing or expression, then singular verb is used. Hence, we need to replace ‘aggravate’ with ‘aggravates’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.

S2. Ans(a)

S3. Ans(c)

S4. Ans(b)

Sol. Biblist: One who holds the Bible as the sole rule of faith.

Dualist: Any person who supports dualism, the belief in absolute good and absolute evil.

Vocalist: A singer, typically one who regularly performs with a jazz or pop group.

S5. Ans(b)

Sol. The correct idiom to be used here is ‘white elephant’ that means an expensive item that is troublesome or useless.

S6. Ans(c)

Sol. With regard to ‘journey’ it can be said that pleasant journey is being referred here. How can a journey be healthy for someone? In passage as well there is no linkage of journey with the health of writer. So, option B can be rejected. Option D is also wrong as passage has no direct or indirect mention of eventless in the journey. Option A is incorrect for the same reason.

S7. Ans(d)

Sol. Author has mentioned in third line of passage ‘I never went out of the ship till we came into the Downs’ so, statement of option D is clearly written and hence the obvious choice.

S8. Ans(a)

Sol. In a long ship journey which continues for months there is a need of fresh water and food. It can be inferred from the passage that Captain sent in his lifeboat for fresh water and foods. For food and related items word ‘provisions’ is used which means Cookery, the act of supplying or providing food, etc.

S9. Ans(b)

Sol. ‘Farthing’ is a unit of money and in the passage captain was not willing to receive any money from the author as a friendly gesture. Farthing means – A coin formerly used in Great Britain worth one fourth of a penny.

S10. Ans(c)

Sol. Passage shows relationship of author and captain in a positive light. As captain refused to take ‘single penny for the services’, ‘author’s invitation to captain’ and ‘borrowing of money from captain for home’ are some examples that show that captain’s attitude for the author was friendly and kind.
