Answer(s): D

Explanation:

This sentence has an error in the use of inappropriate preposition. The notion of the sentence suggests something to be done against a person so the preposition (against) will be suitable to the sentence. Option D uses the appropriate preposition that is suitable to the context, whereas others use inappropriate prepositions (in/ on/ upon/for them). Option D is the correct answer.



To remain unflustered through challenging situations, and work with tranquility and calm, to stay unruffled, smile and radiate peace at the work place do not indeed seem like a mammoth task.

  1. peace at the work place do not indeed seem like a mammoth task.
  2. peace at the work place does not indeed seem like a mammoth task.
  3. peace at the work place do indeed not seem like a mammoth task.
  4. peace at the work place does indeed not seem like a mammoth task.
  5. peace at the work place indeed do not seem like a mammoth task.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

This sentence has an error in the subject-verb agreement. Though the sentence starts with many alternative subjects, all are abstract nouns and the last noun (peace) is given the priority, as a main subject so the verb that follows must be a singular one as it is in the option B (peace at the work place does not indeed seem like a mammoth). The other options except D use a plural form of the verb (do not seem). Option D uses a singular verb appropriately but has misplaced the adverb (indeed - does indeed not seem). Option B is the correct answer.



Allaying anger, controlling irritation and combating explosive behavior are imperative, at the work place especially.

  1. at the work place especially
  2. at the especially work place
  3. especially at the work place
  4. at especially the work place
  5. at the work place especially

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

This sentence has an error in the place of modifier (especially). Options A and E are placing the adverb at the end (work place especially) so the adverb lacks its effect. Options B (at the especially work place) and D (at especially the work place) have placed in an inappropriate place. Option C has places it at the beginning of the sentence (especially at the work place) that is a very suitable place and so that it modifies the noun effectively; hence option C is the correct answer.

  2. Working calmly with complete clarity devoid of negative
  3. Worked calmly with complete clarity devoid of negative
  4. Works calmly with complete clarity devoid of negative
  5. To work calmly with complete clarity devoid of negative

Answer(s): E

Explanation:

This sentence has an error by using a noun in the place of an infinitive verb, which will be appropriate when replaced. Option A uses a noun (work) form in the place of infinitive verb (to work). Option B uses a gerund (working), option C uses a past tense of the verb (worked), and option D uses a present tense singular form of the verb (works) that are inappropriate. Option E uses an infinitive form of the verb (to work), which is suitable to the context, option E is the correct answer.
