Question : Directions: In the following question, some parts of the sentence may have some errors. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the appropriate option. If the sentence is free from error, select "No error".

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The error lies in the third part of the sentence.

While expressing future actions that depend on another event happening first, we use the present tense in the dependent clause. So, comes back is the correct form here instead of will come back.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Ask her to call me when she comes back.

Question : A man bought nine pens for a rupee. How many pens should he sell for a rupee to gain 50%?

Option 1: 3

Option 2: 6

Option 3: 7

Option 4: 8

Team Careers360 27th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 6


Solution : The cost price of 9 pens = Re. 1
The cost price of a pen = Re. $\frac{1}{9}$
Profit percentage = 50%
The selling price of a pen = $\frac{150}{100}×\frac{1}{9}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$
If 1 pen = INR $\frac{1}{6}$,
Number of pens sold for Re. 1 = 6
Hence, the correct answer is 6.

Question : Directions: In the question, a part of the sentence is in bold. Below are given alternatives to the bold part at (1), (2), and (3) that may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, your answer is (4).

The position gives an excellent remuneration.

(1) offers

(2) carries

(3) holds

(4) No Improvement

 

Option 1: (1)

Option 2: (2)

Option 3: (3)

Option 4: (4)

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: (1)


Solution : The correct answer is the first option.

The reason for this improvement is that "offers" is a more appropriate verb to use. It suggests that the position provides or presents a good salary or compensation.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Carries: refers to the action of transporting or bearing the weight of something from one place to another.
Holds: Signifies the act of having or maintaining physical possession or control over an object or keeping something in a specific position or location.

Hence, the sentence should be: "The position offers an excellent remuneration."

Question : Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.

The speaker is about to beginner his speech

Option 1: was about to began

Option 2: was about to beginner

Option 3: is about to begin

Option 4: is about to beginning

Team Careers360 26th Jan, 2024

Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

When expressing an imminent action or something that is going to happen very soon, the construction about to, is followed by the base form of the verb. In this case, the correct form is begin because begin is the base form of the verb.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: The speaker is about to begin his speech.
