Solutions

Sol. ‘School, college, home,, hospital, prison, court, market etc.’ when used for their primary purpose, the usage of article before them is omitted.

Return (Verb) : to come/go/give back
Hence, to return the notebooks is the right usage.
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Replace ‘hours after hours’ with ‘hour after hour’ as noun after preposition is repeated in singular form.
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. After – Each of / Either of / Neither of / Everyone of/ One of, etc., the noun or pronoun is always plural but, the verb remains singular. So, “train” will be replaced with “trains”.
S6. Ans.(b)
Sol. Replace singular noun ‘alumnus’ with plural noun ‘alumni’.
‘Several + Plural noun’ is needed for the sentence to be grammatically correct.
S7. Ans.(a)
Sol. Replace ‘as well as’ with ‘and’.
‘Both’ is followed by ‘and’
S8. Ans.(b)
Sol. It is a preposition related error. Correct preposition to be used is “at”. So, replace ‘to’ with ‘at’.
S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. ‘The joints’ is a noun and ‘airtight’ is an adjective so, we need an adverb in between them. Therefore, use ‘completely’ instead of ‘complete’.
S10. Ans.(a)
Sol. Replace ‘send the word to’ with ‘send word to’.
‘Send word to’ is an idiomatic expression which means to pass along a message to one, especially when one is far away or difficult to reach.
