Correct Answer: (3)
Explanation:
'provision' should replace 'provisional'.
A noun is required here and provisional is an adjective. Provision means supplies whereas provisional means temporary or contingent.
Correct Answer: The conference was only supposed to be an hour; however, it ran for nearly two and half hours.
Explanation:
The correct punctuated sentence is A
The conference was only supposed to be an hour; however, it ran for nearly two and half hours.
Correct Answer: I am very happy to start this Program
Explanation:
Here I am very happy to start this Program is correct statement.
"Too" is not used with pleasant adjectives. It means 'more than required' and is usually used with unpleasant adjectives.
So, 'too healthy', 'too happy', 'too glad' etc are wrong.
Correct Answer: 21 km
Explanation:
From both voices it can be conclude that,
Varanasi is more than 20km but less than 22km away. That is it is 21 kms away.
Correct Answer: (1)
Explanation:
The error lies in part (1).
As the phrase 'as much as' needs to be replaced with 'much as I'. This is because we use 'as much as' for comparing two qualities or things. But here in the given sentence a contrast is given in the latter part of the sentence. So we need a conjunction like 'even though' 'although' etc...
'Much as I' also serves the same purpose.
Correct Answer: On a cloudless night, I studied Pisces, a constellation in the North sky.
Correct Answer: there was an informative program about innovations in medical imaging, a program you would have found interesting.
Explanation:
They is incorrect when talking of the television channel.
New is redundant.
And which must have a clear antecedent.
Hence, Only Option A satisfies and clears all the flaws in the given sentence.
Correct Answer: FALSE
Explanation:
False. Cube is not a Polygon.
Because polygon is a two dimensional figure and can be drawn on a flat surface whereas Cube is three dimensional figure and cannot be drawn on a flat surface.
Correct Answer: One question you should always ask yourself: ?Am I pleased with the results??
Explanation:
The second would employ a comma, or semi-colon, and not a colon so it is not properly punctuated.
The third sentence would not be correct because it uses 'like', usually used for comparison. Since you are not comparing two questions, it would not be appropriate.
The fourth sentence has 'is' before the colon, which is a implies declaration and not listing. So, again, it would not be appropriate.
Hence, the first sentence, however, is punctuated correctly.

Explanation:
Option A) "Counting the votes in an election to determine the next governor" is the only one where data gathering is done.
