ANSWERS:

Here are all 10 answers with explanations:

Q1. ✅ C — She doesn't know the answer. With third person singular (she/he/it), we use does/doesn't + base form of verb. "Doesn't knows" and "don't" are both wrong here.

Q2. ✅ B — "one of the student" is the error. After "one of the," the noun must be plural. Correct: one of the students.

Q3. ✅ B — Neither Ravi nor his friends were present. With "neither…nor," the verb agrees with the noun closest to it. "Friends" is plural, so the verb is were.

Q4. ✅ B — "are" is the error. News is an uncountable noun and always takes a singular verb. Correct: The news is very shocking.

Q5. ✅ B — I have been here for two hours. For is used with a period/duration of time. Since is used with a point in time (since morning, since 2020).

Q6. ✅ C — "have done" is the error. Each is always singular, so it takes a singular verb. Correct: Each of the boys has done their homework.

Q7. ✅ A — She is an honest woman. Though h is a consonant, honest has a silent h and starts with a vowel sound (/ɒ/), so the article an is used.

Q8. ✅ C — "that he" is the error. The correct structure is either so tired that OR too tired to walk. Mixing too…that is incorrect. Correct: He was so tired that he could not walk.

Q9. ✅ B — Ram as well as his brothers is coming. With as well as, the verb agrees with the first subject (Ram), which is singular. So the verb is is.

Q10. ✅ B — "have decided" is the error. Collective nouns like committee, team, jury take a singular verb when acting as one unit. Correct: The committee has decided to postpone the meeting.
