Q31. The leader and the villagers is (A)/ having a meeting (B)/ about the various development activities (C)/ No error (D). (find error)
"The leader and the villagers are having a meeting about the various development activities." The subject of the sentence is a plural compound subject, "the leader and the villagers," so the verb "are" should also be in the plural form to match the subject.
Q32. We have carefully (A)/ considered the (B)/ importance of issues raised in the report. (C)/ No error (D) (find error)
Option D
The sentence is correct: "We have carefully considered the importance of issues raised in the report." Present perfect is used with a past participle after have/has, and "carefully considered" fits well.
Use have/has + past participle for actions finished with present relevance.
She has finished the assignment.
Q33. The plays of Shakespeare (A)/ are not only studies (B)/ in European countries but also in the Oriental countries. (C)/ No error (D) (find error)
"The plays of Shakespeare are not only studied in European countries but also in the Oriental countries."
Q34. How long (A)/ you have been (B)/ in this city. (C)/ No error (D) (find error)
"How long have you been in this city?" the auxiliary verb ("have" in this case) should come before the subject ("you") to form a question in the present perfect tense.
Q35. He is the person (A)/ we have been looking (B)/ for. (C)/ No error (D) (find error)
No error
The sentence uses a relative clause with a trailing preposition, which is acceptable in modern English. No part is grammatically wrong.
A preposition at the end of a clause is often acceptable in everyday English.
That is the book I am looking for.
Q36. Life is as dear (A)/ to a mute creature (B)/ as it is to a man. (C)/ No error (D) (find error)
D
The sentence uses a correct "as... as" comparison and remains parallel and clear. No error detected.
Keep the parts after "as" and before "as" parallel in comparisons.
He is as brave as he is loyal.
Q37. The young child (A)/ singed (B)/ a very sweet song. (C)/ No error (D) (find error)
"The young child sang a very sweet song." The past tense of "sing" is "sang," not "singed."
Q38. He worked (A)/ very hard (B)/ throughout the season.(C)/ No error (D) (find error)
D. No error
The sentence is correct: "He worked very hard throughout the season." The adverb "very" correctly modifies "hard," and "throughout the season" is a proper time phrase.
Place adverbs like very before the word they modify.
She ran very fast in the race.
Q39. She _________ serving in the present post since 2008.
"has been serving": Present perfect continuous tense.
Q40. Select the adverb in the following sentence:
Rama accidentally deleted three hours homework with one click.
a word or phrase that modifies or qualifies an adjective, verb, or other adverb. Verb here: deleted.
