Correct Answer: with growing unease

Options- A. Being a rainy day
- B. we did not feel like going out or doing anything
- C. except playing chess in our room.
- D. No error Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: Being a rainy day
Explanation:
The error is in first part. If we start the sentence with being, it means that we were rainy which is incorrect. The sentence indicates that the day was Rainy, and the day will be denoted by ?It?. So ?It being a rainy day? will be the correct idiomatic expression. Otherwise the meaning of the sentence changes.

- B. who has lived in this for a long time
- C. he will never feel at home anywhere else in the world.
- D. No error Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: he will never feel at home anywhere else in the world.
Explanation:
Error is in third part. By writing ?who? in the second part it has already been made clear that the sentence talks about ?a man?. The use of ?he? becomes redundant or repetitive. By omitting ?he? the sentence becomes grammatically correct.

- C. for the airport.
- D. No error Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: he was left
Explanation:
The error is in second part. In the given sentence two events occur one after the other. ?He left? before ?we reached?. So, the event that was completed before the occurrence of the next event shall be expressed in past perfect tense. Therefore, the correct form of verb will be ?had left?.
- 8. Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response in the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter i.e., (a) or (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).
Options- A. If a thing
- B. is worth doing at all
- C. it is worth done well.
- D. No error Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: it is worth done well.
Explanation:
Error is in third part. Since ?doing? was used in second part it should be followed by ?doing? in third part as well instead of using ?done?. Such repetitive figure of speech is used in
English grammar to create emphasis. This sentence indicates that a thing that is worth doing is also worthy of doing well. Here worth is the noun that must be followed by the verb doing.
- 9. Read each sentence to find out whether there is any error in any underlined part and indicate your response in the Answer Sheet against the corresponding letter i.e., (a) or (b) or (c). If you find no error, your response should be indicated as (d).
Options- A. All the boys
- B. returned back home
- C. well in time for lunch.
- D. No error Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: returned back home
Explanation:
Error is in second part. Returning means coming back to place from where you began. So, the use of back after returned becomes redundant. Without using back, the meaning remains the same. We can omit ?back? in part b, and use ?returned home.?

- B. a country where every citizen is law-abiding
- C. and no trouble is there
- D. No error Also asked in: Bank Exams
Correct Answer: and no trouble is there
Explanation:
Error is in third part. Here, ?there? is an adverb that qualifies the verb ?is?. The position of ?there? in the sentence is incorrect. The correct usage should be ?there is no trouble?. It indicates the absence of any trouble in a country.
