Solutions
S1. Ans. (c)
Sol. Follow up is a phrasal verb which means ‘to try to find out more about something, or to do something more to deal with it’ and fits in the context.
S2. Ans. (a)
S3.Ans.(b)
Sol. There should not be any comma between “The GST” and “amalgamate” and now since the comma is not there, ‘the GST’ is singular noun so it should have been “amalgamates”. So, sentence should be improved.
In option a – “the GST and Amalgamation” are two nouns and two nouns cannot come together unless they have apostrophe between them. In option (b), comma is correct because before that a relative pronoun “which” is used. So, the correct option is (b).
S4. Ans. (a)
Sol. “Motives of delaying” shows the intention which is same as “motives behind delaying”. In the passage there is no “context of intention.”
“Motives in delaying” shows something has already been delayed that is why it was questioned.
“Motive to delay” shows the future action which is not correct in this context.
S5. Ans. (c)
Sol. Identify certificates cannot issue something; it can be issued by someone. So passive structure should be used, which is in option C.
S6. Ans. (c)
Sol. As the reporting verb is in past so “mention” should be changed to “mentioned”.
S7. Ans(c)
Sol. Scarcely, hardly, and barely are followed by when. After scarcely, hardly etc. we use helping verb first, then comes the subject. Hence, option (c) is the best choice here.
S8. Ans(b)
Sol. Adverbs of Frequency like: always, never, often, rarely, usually, generally, and also some other adverbs like: almost, already, hardly, nearly, just, quite etc. are normally put between the subject and the verb if the verb consists of only one word; if there is more than one word in the verb, they are put after the first word. Hence, option (b) is the correct choice.
S9. Ans. (b)
Sol. Neither and nor belong to the set of those negative polarity items which can stand first in a sentence, and trigger inversion, so that the verb or auxiliary precedes the subject. Hence, option(b) will improve the sentence correctly.
S10. Ans. (d)
Sol. Siphoning off money: to dishonestly take money from an organization or other supply, and use it for a purpose for which it was not intended.
