matrix cyber cafe: SENTENCE IMPROVEMENT

SENTENCE IMPROVEMENT

This chapter is analogous to Spotting errors. in this type of questions, a sentence is given with a word or phrase bold. the candidate is required to examine this bold part in accordance with the rules of grammar usage and vocabulary and decide upon its correctness. Some substituses to the bold part are given below the sentence. The candidates is required to choose the alternative which when substitutes the bold part, the sentence become gramatically correct. If the bold part is correct as it is, then the correct option is ‘No improvement’ or ‘No correction required’.

Here are a few examples.

Example 1 : This project would encourage development and enable every villager to govern thier own destiny.

(a) to govern his (b) to governing his (c) have governed his (d) may govern thier (e) no correction required

solution : Clearly the usage ‘to govern’ is correct. But since ‘villager’ is singular, so ‘his’ should be used instead of thier.

Example 2 : He told his friend that he drank tea every morning.

(a) will drink (b) drinks (c) would drink (d) drunk (e) No correction

Solution : Since a habitual action is denoted by simple present tense, so here ‘drinks’ should be used instead of ‘drank’.

Example 3 : My school is in a stone’s throw from my house.

(a) at a stones’s throw (b) to a stone’s throw (c)on a stone’s throw (d) within a stone’s throw (e) No correction required.
