Correct Answer: b
Explanation:
?Attacked on him? is the incorrect form of phrasal verb that needs to be replaced with ?Attacked him? to make the sentence correct. This is because; ?Attack? is not followed by any preposition. Thus, the correct sentence would be, ?That Brutus, who was his trusted friend had attacked him caused heartbreak to Julius Caesar?.
Correct Answer: d
Correct Answer: a
Explanation:
Were? needs to be replaced with ?was? to make the sentence grammatically correct. This is because,?If the subjects are joined by as well as, with, along with, together with, and not, in addition to, but, besides, except, rather than, accompanied by, like, unlike, no less than, nothing but, led by, headed by, guided by, controlled by, governed by,etc..Then the verb will agree with the first subject? Thus, the correct sentence would be, ?Coleridge as well as Wordsworth was of the opinion that the opposite of poetry os not prose but science?.
