Answers with Explanations — Set 3

Q1. ✅ B — He has been suffering from cold since Monday. Since indicates a point in time and requires the present perfect continuous tense. Simple present or past tense cannot be used with since for ongoing actions.

Q2. ✅ C — "are" is the error. Bread and butter is treated as a single unit (one thing), so it takes a singular verb. Correct: The bread and butter is on the table.

Q3. ✅ B — She congratulated me on my success. The correct preposition after congratulate is on. Never use for, of, or with with congratulate.

Q4. ✅ C — "to hardly walk" is the error. Too…to already carries a negative meaning. Adding hardly (another negative) makes it a double negative. Correct: He is too weak to walk.

Q5. ✅ A — The jury were divided in their opinion. When a collective noun like jury acts as individuals with different opinions, it takes a plural verb. Since they were divided, they are acting separately, so were is correct.

Q6. ✅ C — "are" is the error. Neither always takes a singular verb regardless of the noun that follows. Correct: Neither of the two girls is intelligent.

Q7. ✅ B — He refused to pay the fine. Deny means to say something is not true; refuse means to decline to do something. Also, refuse is followed by to + infinitive, not a gerund.

Q8. ✅ A — "The sceneries" is the error. Scenery is an uncountable noun and has no plural form. Correct: The scenery of Kashmir is beautiful.

Q9. ✅ C — I prefer tea to coffee. The correct preposition after prefer is to, not than, over, or from. Correct structure: prefer… to…

Q10. ✅ A — "Ram told" is the error. Tell must always have an object (a person). Without an object, say is used. Correct: Ram said that he was innocent.
