    Pronoun

    Noun
  • c)
    Verb
  • d)
    Adjective
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Shilpa Shah answered
The highlighted word "his" in the given sentence is used as a pronoun.

Explanation:
Pronouns are words that are used in place of nouns to avoid repetition. They can refer to a noun that has already been mentioned or is understood from the context. In this case, the pronoun "his" is used to refer to the possession of someone, most likely a person mentioned earlier in the conversation or text.

In the given sentence, the word "his" is used to refer to the possession of someone, indicating that the ambition being discussed belongs to a specific person. The use of "his" suggests that the ambition belongs to a male individual, as it is a possessive pronoun used to indicate ownership by a male.

Example:
To understand the usage of the pronoun "his" in a sentence, let's consider the following example:
- John loves playing the guitar. His musical talent is exceptional.

In this example, the pronoun "his" is used to avoid repeating the noun "John." It indicates that the musical talent being discussed belongs to John. The pronoun "his" is used as a possessive pronoun to show ownership.

Therefore, in the given sentence, "Such was his ambition that could never be curbed," the word "his" is used as a pronoun to indicate the possession of someone.

Mihir Menon answered
Identifying the Noun in a Sentence

The task is to identify the noun in the following sentence: "It will exhaust all of your energy, will you then be able to walk again."

Nouns are words that name a person, place, thing, or idea.

Answer:

The correct answer is "Energy."

Explanation:

- The sentence contains several words, but only one of them is a noun.
- "It" is not a noun because it is a pronoun that refers to something previously mentioned or understood.
- "Will" is not a noun because it is a modal verb that indicates future actions or events.
- "Exhaust" is not a noun either because it is a verb that means to use up completely or drain.
- "All" is not a noun because it is a determiner that modifies a noun, but it does not function as a noun itself.
- "Your" is not a noun either because it is a possessive adjective that shows ownership or relationship to a noun.
- Therefore, the only word left that is a noun is "Energy," which refers to the physical or mental ability to do work or accomplish something.

In summary, when identifying the noun in a sentence, it is important to look for words that name a person, place, thing, or idea.

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (d).

    Though child marriage
  • b)
    has been banned.
  • c)

  • d)

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Tanishq Khanna answered
The error is in Part (c) of the sentence.
Explanation:
- Subject-Verb Agreement Error: The verb "prevailed" should be in the past tense to maintain subject-verb agreement with the past tense "has been banned." Therefore, the correct form of the verb should be "prevailed" instead of "prevails."
- The corrected sentence would be: "Though child marriage has been banned, the custom still prevailed among some groups in India."

  • b)
    Because
  • c)
    Their
  • d)
    Bone
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Shilpa Choudhury answered
Bone is a noun. True (a) is an adjective modifying the noun fish. Because (b) is a conjunction. Their (c) is a plural possessive third-person pronoun modifying the noun skeletons.

Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any will be in one part of the sentence. The letter of that part is the answer. If there is no error, the answer is (d).
  • a)
    Regretfully, profits earned by your company
  • b)
    Fell by 20 percent last year
  • c)
    Despite higher sales 
  • d)
    No error
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Anirban Saini answered
Answer:
The grammatical error is in part (a) of the sentence.

Explanation:
The error in the sentence is the improper use of the verb tense. The word "earned" is in the past tense, but it should be in the present tense to match the verb tense of the sentence.

Corrected Sentence:
Regretfully, profits earn by your company fell by 20 percent last year despite higher sales.

Now, the verb "earn" is in the present tense, which matches the verb tense of the sentence. The sentence is grammatically correct.

Additional Information:
It is important to ensure that verb tenses are used correctly in a sentence. Verb tenses indicate the time at which an action happened or will happen. In this case, since the sentence is referring to last year, the verb tense should be in the past tense.

When checking for errors in a sentence, it is helpful to read each part of the sentence separately and determine if the verb tense is consistent. Verbs should match the subject and the context of the sentence.

  • b)
    Adverb
  • c)
    Verb
  • d)
    None
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Aaditya Chawla answered
**Explanation:**

The word "continuously" in the given sentence is used as an adverb.

**Adverb:**
An adverb is a word that modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. It tells us how, when, where, or to what extent an action is performed.

In the given sentence, the word "continuously" is modifying the verb "rained" by providing information about the manner in which the rain occurred. It tells us that the rain was ongoing and uninterrupted for three days.

Here's a breakdown of the sentence:

- "It" is a pronoun that serves as the subject of the sentence.
- "has rained" is the verb phrase, where "has" is the helping verb and "rained" is the main verb.
- "continuously" is the adverb that modifies the verb "rained," providing information about how the rain occurred.
- "for three days" is a prepositional phrase that provides additional information about the duration of the rain.

Therefore, the word "continuously" is used as an adverb in the given sentence.

  • a)
    Noun
  • b)
    Adjective
  • c)
    Verb
  • d)
    Adverb
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Nishanth Iyer answered
**Explanation:**

The highlighted word "rightly" is used as an **adverb** in the given sentence.

An adverb is a word that modifies or describes a verb, adjective, or another adverb. It provides information about how, when, where, or to what extent an action is performed. In this sentence, "rightly" modifies the verb "said" and provides information about how the statement was made.

Let's break down the sentence to understand it further:

- "Rightly" is an adverb in this sentence because it modifies the verb "said."
- "Has it been said" is a passive construction in which the subject is "it" and the verb is "been said."
- "That virtue brings its own reward" is a subordinate clause that acts as the object of the verb "said."

The word "rightly" adds meaning to the verb "said" by indicating that the statement made about virtue bringing its own reward is accurate or justified. It tells us that the statement was made in a correct or appropriate manner.

In summary, the word "rightly" is used as an adverb in the given sentence to modify the verb "said" and provide information about how the statement was made.

  • d)
    No error
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Keerthana Menon answered
Explanation:
The error in the given sentence is in part (b) - "Of my failing".

Explanation:
The error in part (b) of the sentence is the use of the word "failing". The correct form of the verb should be "failure" instead of "failing".

Correction:
The correct sentence should be: "There is no question of my failure in the examination."

Reason:
The word "failing" is a gerund, which is a verb form that functions as a noun. However, in this sentence, we need a noun form to complete the sentence structure. Therefore, the correct word to use is "failure", which is a noun that describes the act of not succeeding or achieving a desired outcome.

    They
  • b)
    Enjoyed thoroughly
  • c)
    At the party 
  • d)
    No error
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Manasa Saha answered
Understanding the Error
In the sentence provided, "They enjoyed thoroughly at the party," the error lies in the phrase "enjoyed thoroughly." Here’s a breakdown:
1. Placement of Adverb
- Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. In this context, "thoroughly" is an adverb meant to describe how they enjoyed.
- The correct placement of the adverb should typically come after the verb and before any prepositional phrases for clarity.
2. Suggested Correction
- A more natural phrasing would be "They thoroughly enjoyed at the party." This revision maintains the intended meaning while improving the flow of the sentence.
3. Impact on Meaning
- The original structure can confuse readers, as it may appear as if "thoroughly" is modifying "at the party" rather than "enjoyed."
- Proper placement enhances clarity, ensuring that the enjoyment is emphasized.
Conclusion
In summary, the grammatical error is found in part "b." The adverb "thoroughly" should be repositioned to enhance clarity and flow in the sentence. Hence, the correct answer is option 'B', indicating that the placement of the adverb is the issue.
