followed by “not”. “Lest + should + (without s/es) Verb 1st 16. C 26. A
Form” is the correct format. 17. A 27. B
5. B Solution: We need an adjective to describe the noun 18. A 28. C
“phase”. But in the sentence, “crucially” is an adverb in its 19. A 29. D
place. Thus, replace the adverb “crucially” with its adjective 20. A 30. D
form “crucial” to make the sentence grammatically sound. 21. A 31. C
6. A Solution: Here, the use of the phrase “have they” is 22. C 32. C
incorrect. To turn statements into questions, use question 23. B 33. A
tags. They‟re typically utilized to double-check the information 24. B 34. C
that we believe to be accurate. We use the word “it” as the 25. D 35. C
subject and a singular auxiliary verb in the question tag with
indefinite pronouns like “someone,” “anybody,” and “nobody.”
36. D 37. D 38. A 39. D
As a result, the proper question tag is “hasn‟t it?”
40. A 41. D 42. B 43. B
7. B Solution: The phrasal verb „call up‟ means to telephone
44. D 45. C 46. C 47. C
someone or to bring something back to your mind. The use of
48. A 49. B 50. B 51. A
the phrasal verb “call up” in the above sentence is
52. C 53. D 54. A 55. A
contextually incorrect. It should be replaced with „calls for‟,
56. A 57. C 58. D 59. A
which means to publicly ask for something to happen.
60. C 61. C 62. C 63. D
8. B Solution: The number of the subject is not changed by
64. B 65. A 66. A 67. B
expressions like with, together with, including, accompanied
68. D 69. B 70. A 71. C
by, in addition to, or as well. If the subject is singular, the verb
is too. Thus, “were” is incorrect, it should be “was” to make
the sentence grammatically correct.
9. A Solution: Here, the use of the preposition „from‟ is
incorrect. When referring to time activities, the word “before”
is most often used with noun phrases. Thus, replace “from”
with “before” to make the sentence grammatically correct.
10. A Solution: When we want to make a hypothesis about
the past that has an effect in the present, we can use mixed
conditional sentences, which combine the second and third
conditions in one sentence. Thus, “would be lying” is
grammatically correct.
11. A Solution: Option A has the grammatically incorrect
part. In the third conditional sentence, the speaker is looking
back from the present to a past time and event. The speaker
is discussing what could have happened but did not, either
because something went wrong or because nothing was
done. The main clause contains “would, could, or may” +
have + the main verb‟s past participle. The if-clause uses the
past perfect tense. Thus, either add “if” before “Rama” in
option A or put the auxiliary “had” before “Rama” (inversion).
12. D Solution: When a compound subject contains both a
singular and a plural noun or pronoun joined by “or” or “nor”,
the verb should agree with the part of the subject that is
nearer the verb. Thus, “our friends,” a plural noun, must
agree with the plural verb “know.”
