Grammar - English Aptitude MCQ Questions and Answers

Correct Sentence: Afridi plays the Harmonium and the sitar is played by him also.

In this sentence, we are ensuring proper grammatical structure and pronoun usage. The verb "played" needs to be in the passive form "played by him" to match the structure of the first part of the sentence.

Incorrect Options:

Option A: played
This option is incorrect because it does not complete the sentence correctly. "Played" on its own does not provide the necessary subject and makes the sentence incomplete.

Option B: played by he
This option is incorrect due to incorrect pronoun usage. "He" is a subject pronoun and should not be used in the object position. The correct object pronoun is "him".

Option D: None of these
This option is incorrect because there is a correct answer among the provided options, which is "played by him".

Example of correct usage:
Afridi plays the Harmonium and the sitar is played by him also.

This construction ensures clarity and grammatical correctness, maintaining the passive voice consistency in the sentence.

The correct answer is Option A: doing

The verb “are” requires a present participle (verb+ing) to form the present continuous tense.

In the sentence, the action is happening currently, so the correct structure is “are doing.”

Options “do” and “does” are simple present forms and grammatically incorrect here.

“Going to do” expresses future intention, which does not fit the sentence meaning.

The correct answer is angel.

Angel refers to a supernatural being often depicted as a messenger or a celestial entity.

The sentence suggests a being that appeared briefly, wrote something, and then vanished, which aligns with the idea of an angel in religious or mythological contexts.

The other options do not fit the context of the sentence logically or semantically.

The correct phrase to complete the sentence is not both.

The sentence implies that the director cannot be both deaf and a fool at the same time.

Option A: neither would imply that the director is neither deaf nor a fool, which changes the meaning of the sentence.

Option B: both not is grammatically incorrect.

Option D: nothing does not fit the context of the sentence.

'Patrolling' means to keep watch over (an area) by regularly walking or travelling around it. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

The sentence is starting with 'you' and therefore the correct word to use is 'yourself' which is the reflexive pronoun of 'you'.

'Should' can be used to show obligation, give recommendation or even an opinion. Here a recommendation is being given and therefore option D is the correct answer.

The given sentence states that the news reports have conveyed enough information and that it is uncountable.
Since it cannot be counted, the verb has to be in its singular and third-person form.
So, the verb 'has' will be used after much.
The other options - were, have, and was are not relevant and don't fit the given sentence.

First-person, second-person, and plural third-person conjugations that use the pronouns I, you, we, and they require the writer to use 'have'. Singular third-person conjugations use ‘has’. These pronouns include he, she, and it. ‘The war’ is singular third person and therefore ‘has’ will be used.

In the given sentence, we need to choose the correct linker from the given options.
All four of them can be used in the blank. However, only option b follows the format of the sentence.
'Due' and 'owing' are followed by 'to,' which is not present in the sentence. 'Because' is followed by 'of,' which is again not present in the sentence. Thus, they will not be taken as the answers.
'On account of' consists of the preposition 'of' and is the complete answer.
