A) The future is B) yet to come C) but you have to learn D) a lot from us in future E) No error

Discuss

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option D

Solution:

The phrase "in future" is grammatically incorrect in this context

The correct usage is "in the future" because we are referring to a specific time ahead which needs the definite article "the"

All other parts of the sentence are grammatically acceptable

Therefore the error lies in part D because it should be written as "a lot from us in the future"

Therefore the correct answer is Option D

Generally, people have not receptive / and fail to notice the / irrelevant answers they / get for straight questions.

A) Generally, people have not receptive B) and fail to notice the C) irrelevant answers they D) get for straight questions E) No error

Discuss

Answer & Solution

Answer: Option A

Solution:

The grammatical error is in the phrase "have not receptive". The word "receptive" is an adjective, but it is used incorrectly here. The correct form should be the adjective "receptive" followed by the preposition "to", forming the phrase "receptive to". Therefore, the correct phrase should be "have not been receptive to".

So, the correct sentence should be:
Generally, people have not been receptive to

Therefore, the grammatically correct version of the sentence is obtained by replacing Option A with the corrected phrase.
