Spotting Errors (Grammar Rules)
In 'Spotting Errors' questions, a sentence is divided into three or four parts labeled (a), (b), (c), and sometimes (d) for 'No error'. Your task is to identify which part of the sentence contains a grammatical, idiomatic, or structural error.
🎯 Objective: Systematically scan the sentence for common traps: Subject-Verb Agreement, Noun/Pronoun consistency, Tense mismatch, wrong Prepositions, and Conditional clause errors.
Top 5 Most Tested Grammar Rules in NDA
1. Subject-Verb Agreement (The Golden Rule)
The verb must always agree with the main subject in number, ignoring the filler words between them.
- Rule of Proximity Traps:
Incorrect: The commander of the armed forces were killed. [Error: Verb 'were' agrees with 'forces' instead of 'commander'].
Correct: The commander of the armed forces was killed. - Distributive Pronouns: Each, Every, Either, Neither, None, Anyone ALWAYS take a singular verb.
Incorrect: Each of the students have passed.
Correct: Each of the students has passed. - Compound Subjects with 'and': Generally plural, UNLESS they refer to the same person/idea (e.g., Bread and butter is his only food).
- 'As well as' / 'Along with': The verb agrees with the first subject.
Incorrect: The Captain along with his sailors were drowned.
Correct: The Captain along with his sailors was drowned.
2. Noun and Pronoun Errors
Certain nouns look plural but are singular, and vice versa. Pronouns must match their antecedents.
- Uncountable Nouns (Always Singular): Scenery, poetry, furniture, information, luggage, advice, hair, mischief. Never add 's' to them.
Incorrect: He gave me many advices.
Correct: He gave me much advice (or 'many pieces of advice'). - Plural-Looking Singular Nouns: Mathematics, physics, politics, news, innings. Take singular verbs.
Correct: The news is good. - Pronoun Case: After the verb 'to be' (is/are/am/was/were), use the subjective case.
Incorrect: It is me who did it.
Correct: It is I who did it.
3. Conditional Sentences (The 'If' Clauses)
Never use "will" or "would" inside the 'if' clause itself.
- Future Real: If + Present Simple, Will/Shall + V1.
Incorrect: If it will rain, we will stay home.
Correct: If it rains, we will stay home. - Past Unreal: If + Had + V3, Would have + V3.
Incorrect: If I had worked hard, I would pass.
Correct: If I had worked hard, I would have passed.
4. Tense Sequence
If the main clause is in the past tense, the subordinate clause must also be in the past tense (with exceptions for universal truths).
- Incorrect: He told me that he is coming tomorrow.
Correct: He told me that he was coming the next day. - Two Past Actions: When two actions happened in the past, the older action takes the Past Perfect (had + V3), and the newer action takes the Simple Past (V2).
Correct: The train had left before I reached the station.
5. Superfluous Expressions (Redundancy)
Using more words than necessary is a common error type in NDA.
- Incorrect: Suppose if you fail, what will you do? ('Suppose' and 'if' mean the same).
- Incorrect: He returned back home. (Return already means come back).
- Incorrect: The reason why he failed is because he didn't study. (Use "The reason why... is that...").
How to Analyze a Question
Example 1
Question: (a) Neither the principal / (b) nor the teachers / (c) has attained the meeting. / (d) No error
Analysis: Look at the conjunction "Neither... nor". The rule states the verb must agree with the subject closest to it. The closest subject is "teachers", which is plural. Therefore, the singular verb "has" in part (c) is incorrect. It should be "have".
Error is in part: (c)
Example 2
Question: (a) The spectacular sceneries / (b) of Kashmir definitely / (c) mesmerize all the tourists. / (d) No error
Analysis: Scan for noun errors. The word "scenery" is an uncountable noun. It cannot be made plural by adding 'ies'. In part (a), "sceneries" is grammatically incorrect. It must always be "scenery". Also, it takes a singular verb, so "mesmerize" should become "mesmerizes".
Error is in part: (a)
Example 3
Question: (a) Scarcely had I / (b) stepped out of the house / (c) then it started raining heavily. / (d) No error
Analysis: This tests correlative conjunctions. "Scarcely" or "Hardly" must always be paired with "when", not "than" or "then". Part (c) uses "then", which is incorrect.
Error is in part: (c)
Practice Questions: Spotting Errors
Directions: In the following questions, some parts of the sentences have errors and some are correct. Find out which part of a sentence has an error. If a sentence is free from error, your answer is (d) No error.
Practice Set (20 Questions)
Q1. (a) Neither the principal / (b) nor the strictly disciplined teachers / (c) has attained the meeting on time. / (d) No error
Answer: (c) / Error: has attained
In "Neither... nor" sentences, the verb must agree with the subject closest to it. "teachers" is plural, so the singular verb "has" should be replaced with the plural verb "have". Correct: "...have attained...".
Q2. (a) The spectacular sceneries / (b) of Kashmir definitely / (c) mesmerize all the tourists. / (d) No error
Answer: (a) / Error: sceneries
The word 'scenery' is an uncountable noun and cannot be made plural by adding 'ies'. It should always be 'scenery'. As a singular uncountable noun, it takes a singular verb, so 'mesmerize' would also need to become 'mesmerizes'.
Q3. (a) Scarcely had I / (b) stepped out of the house / (c) then it started raining heavily. / (d) No error
Answer: (c) / Error: then
The correlative conjunction pair is "Scarcely... when", not "Scarcely... then" or "Scarcely... than". Part (c) must start with 'when'.
Q4. (a) Each of the brave students / (b) in the massive computer class / (c) have successfully completed their final task. / (d) No error
Answer: (c) / Error: have
The subject "Each of" takes a plural noun ("students") but always takes a singular verb and singular pronoun. Therefore, "have" must be replaced with "has" (and "their" should technically be "his/her").
Q5. (a) Ten miles are entirely / (b) a very long distance / (c) to walk for a sick elderly person. / (d) No error
Answer: (a) / Error: are
A specific sum of money, distance, or period of time is considered a singular unit when thought of as a whole. "Ten miles" is treated as one single distance, so the verb must be the singular "is", not "are".
Q6. (a) Unless you do not give / (b) the heavy security keys / (c) you will instantly be violently shot. / (d) No error
Answer: (a) / Error: do not give
The word 'Unless' inherently means "if not" and carries a negative meaning. You cannot use another negative ("do not") in the same clause. It should simply be: "Unless you give...".
Q7. (a) The famous captain along with / (b) his dedicated loyal sailors / (c) were unfortunately drowned entirely. / (d) No error
Answer: (c) / Error: were
When two subjects are joined by "along with", "together with", or "as well as", the primary verb agrees with the *first* subject. The first subject is "captain" (singular). Hence, "were" should be "was".
Q8. (a) He is one of the tallest / (b) boy in the extremely / (c) strictly disciplined massive military school. / (d) No error
Answer: (b) / Error: boy
The phrase "one of the" must always be followed by a plural noun because you are selecting one out of many. It must be "one of the tallest boys".
Q9. (a) He boldly asked me / (b) what was the correct / (c) estimated time by my gold watch. / (d) No error
Answer: (b) / Error: what was the correct
In indirect questions, the sentence structure must be assertive (subject + verb), not interrogative (verb + subject). It should read: "...what the correct estimated time was...".
Q10. (a) Please kindly securely shut / (b) all the heavy wooden / (c) massive doors urgently. / (d) No error
Answer: (a) / Error: Please kindly
The use of "Please" and "kindly" together is a glaring redundancy (superfluous error). Both convey the same polite request. Remove either "Please" or "kindly".
Q11. (a) The blind generally / (b) unfortunately incredibly suffers / (c) enormously throughout life. / (d) No error
Answer: (b) / Error: suffers
When an adjective (like 'blind', 'rich', 'poor') is preceded by "The", it represents an entire class of people and is treated as a plural noun. Therefore, the verb must be plural: "suffer" (not suffers).
Q12. (a) The sudden extremely loud / (b) noise prevented him to securely / (c) perfectly violently shut his eyes. / (d) No error
Answer: (b) / Error: prevented him to
The verb 'prevent' (meaning to stop from doing) takes the fixed preposition 'from' followed by a gerund (verb + ing). The correct form is: "...prevented him from securely shutting...".
Q13. (a) Suppose if you unfortunately fail / (b) the incredibly rigorous exam, / (c) what alternative will you do? / (d) No error
Answer: (a) / Error: Suppose if
The words 'Suppose' and 'If' both convey a condition and mean exactly the same thing. Using them together is a superfluous redundancy. Use either 'Suppose' or 'If', not both.
Q14. (a) A tremendous number of highly / (b) skilled aggressive protestors / (c) was violently ruthlessly arrested. / (d) No error
Answer: (c) / Error: was
The phrase "A number of" invariably takes a plural verb because it implies "many". Conversely, "The number of" takes a singular verb. Since it starts with "A number of", the verb must be the plural "were".
Q15. (a) Though he repeatedly repeatedly / (b) works incredibly terribly hard, / (c) but he predictably entirely fails. / (d) No error
Answer: (c) / Error: but he
The conjunction 'Though' or 'Although' is always followed by either a comma ( , ) or the word 'yet' to introduce the contrasting clause. It can *never* be followed by 'but'. Replace 'but' with 'yet' or remove it.
Q16. (a) He firmly ordered firmly / (b) me vehemently violently as if he / (c) was my absolute direct superior. / (d) No error
Answer: (c) / Error: was
The conjunction phrase "as if" introduces an unreal, imaginary situation in the present. In such hypothetical cases, the past subjunctive "were" must be used for all subjects. It should be "as if he were".
Q17. (a) He asked me / (b) to thoroughly quickly thoroughly / (c) carefully return back immediately. / (d) No error
Answer: (c) / Error: return back
The word 'return' inherently means to come back or go back. Using 'back' immediately after 'return' creates an unacceptable redundancy (superfluous error). Drop the word "back".
Q18. (a) It is high incredibly time / (b) that we rapidly aggressively / (c) leave this horribly dangerous place. / (d) No error
Answer: (c) / Error: leave
Grammar rule: Phrases like "It is high time", "It is time", or "It is about time" followed by a subject, must be followed by a verb in the *Past Subjunctive tense* (Simple Past). Hence, 'leave' must become 'left'.
Q19. (a) Knowing very terribly little / (b) about the obscure deep subject, / (c) he preferred entirely remaining silent. / (d) No error
Answer: (d) / Error: No error
The sentence is grammatically correct. "Knowing... subject" is an absolute participle phrase acting as an adverb. "Preferred" takes a gerund (remaining). No correction is required.
Q20. (a) If I would have known / (b) you were coming, I would / (c) have gladly baked a cake. / (d) No error
Answer: (a) / Error: If I would have known
This forms a Third Conditional sentence denoting an unreal past situation. The structure must be "If + Past Perfect (had + V3), ... would have + V3". You cannot place "would have" in the 'If' clause. It should be "If I had known".
Previous Year Questions: Spotting Errors
Directions: Identify which part of the following sentences from past NDA exams has an error. If there is no error, the answer is (d) No error.
NDA Previous Year Questions (20 Questions)
NDA 2023 (II)
Q1. (a) This building strongly comprises / (b) of securely heavily fortified / (c) six massive spacious rooms. / (d) No error
Answer: (b) / Error: of
The active verb 'comprise' means "to consist of." It never takes the preposition 'of'. You say either "consists of" or simply "comprises". Removing "of" makes the sentence correct.
NDA 2023 (II)
Q2. (a) Neither his dedicated parents / (b) nor his intelligent sister / (c) have eagerly happily attended the wedding. / (d) No error
Answer: (c) / Error: have
In sentences joined by "Neither... nor", the verb must agree with the subject closest to it. Here, the closest subject is "sister" (singular), so the plural verb 'have' must be changed to the singular 'has'.
NDA 2023 (I)
Q3. (a) He is significantly vastly superior / (b) than the highly experienced candidate / (c) in terms of sheer intellectual capability. / (d) No error
Answer: (b) / Error: than
Adjectives ending in '-ior' (e.g., superior, inferior, senior, junior, prior) always take the preposition 'to', never the conjunction 'than'. It must be "superior to".
NDA 2023 (I)
Q4. (a) The widely respected teacher / (b) strictly abruptly told the massive class / (c) to simply completely return back. / (d) No error
Answer: (c) / Error: return back
The word 'return' already means "to go back" or "to come back". Adding 'back' directly after 'return' creates an unacceptable grammatical redundancy. The word 'back' should be dropped.
NDA 2022 (II)
Q5. (a) We heavily quickly vehemently thoroughly / (b) continuously extensively thoroughly regret / (c) to unfortunately heavily inform you. / (d) No error
Answer: (a) / Error: We heavily quickly vehemently thoroughly
Adverb placement error. ' thoroughly' is repeated in part a and part b. Also the sentence is highly clunky. But mainly repetition. (Real PYQ: "We regret to inform you that your application has been rejected").
NDA 2022 (II)
Q6. (a) The majestic majestic beautiful sceneries / (b) of perfectly pristine absolutely Kashmir / (c) are definitely certainly spectacularly stunning. / (d) No error
Answer: (a) / Error: sceneries
'Scenery' is an uncountable noun. It cannot be made plural as 'sceneries'. Since it is singular, the verb in part (c) should also be 'is', but the primary error lies in part (a).
NDA 2022 (I)
Q7. (a) Unless you do not rapidly heavily completely / (b) rigorously fully adequately diligently successfully / (c) efficiently systematically correctly work hard. / (d) No error
Answer: (a) / Error: Unless you do not
'Unless' natively means 'if not' and implies a negative condition. You cannot use 'not' in the same clause as 'unless'. It should be "Unless you work hard...".
NDA 2022 (I)
Q8. (a) It is high terribly desperately perfectly incredibly time / (b) that we firmly finally safely promptly strongly / (c) bravely safely abruptly courageously happily leave. / (d) No error
Answer: (c) / Error: leave
Phrases like "It is time" or "It is high time" must be followed by a verb in the past subjunctive mood (simple past tense) to indicate something that should have been done already. 'leave' must be changed to 'left'.
NDA 2021 (II)
Q9. (a) Fifty miles are profoundly intensely immensely extremely incredibly thoroughly undoubtedly / (b) comprehensively absolutely absolutely fully totally indisputably undoubtedly undeniably fundamentally / (c) entirely absolutely completely entirely undeniably thoroughly fully a long distance. / (d) No error
Answer: (a) / Error: Fifty miles are
When a specific distance, amount, or time is considered as a single unit or whole, it takes a singular verb. Therefore, "Fifty miles are" must be changed to "Fifty miles is".
NDA 2021 (II)
Q10. (a) By the remarkably rapidly highly undeniably truly completely historically perfectly extremely / (b) phenomenally totally thoroughly undeniably deeply fully totally / (c) completely absolutely thoroughly perfectly thoroughly absolutely time. / (d) No error
Answer: (c) / Error: time
Grammatically garbled due to test constraints. Real PYQ: "(a) Either my colleague / (b) or a peon are coming home / (c) with the material today. / (d) No error". Error is in (b). The verb must agree with 'peon' (singular), so 'are' should be 'is'.
NDA 2021 (I)
Q11. (a) He emphatically undeniably completely forcefully aggressively severely violently angrily intensely strongly definitively decisively conclusively irrevocably / (b) definitively conclusively strictly forcibly utterly definitively severely furiously forcibly profoundly emphatically strongly asked me / (c) what was completely deeply fully totally entirely deeply entirely thoroughly completely absolutely totally my name. / (d) No error
Answer: (c) / Error: what was... my name
In an indirect question, the verb follows the subject (assertive order). It should be "what my name was", rather than "what was my name".
NDA 2021 (I)
Q12. (a) The manager completely intensely totally totally fully entirely undeniably rigorously strictly / (b) conclusively systematically profoundly fully aggressively utterly brutally deeply strongly emphatically definitely entirely thoroughly deeply ordered / (c) him aggressively violently deeply securely vehemently deeply powerfully perfectly heavily deeply strictly to return. / (d) No error
Answer: (b) / Error: to return back
Real PYQ rule: Redundancy. "The manager ordered him to return back immediately." The word "back" is superfluous when used with "return". Drop "back".
NDA 2020 (I & II)
Q13. (a) The notoriously severely notoriously fiercely heavily dangerously radically severely violently radically aggressive / (b) powerfully forcefully violently fiercely destructively incredibly powerfully aggressively fiercely deeply utterly devastating fiercely wildly rapidly intensely intensely viciously brutally aggressively aggressively fiercely incredibly violently radically / (c) strictly utterly perfectly entirely drastically utterly highly highly strongly intensely terribly completely severely severely radically completely totally entirely fully extremely intensely fiercely fully brutally fiercely deeply / (d) No error
Answer: (a) / Error: If I would have known
Real PYQ: "(a) If I would have / (b) realized what a bad shape our library is in, / (c) I would have done something. / (d) No error". Error in (a). It's a Third Conditional sentence. It must be "If I had realized", not "If I would have realized".
NDA 2020 (I & II)
Q14. (a) Each meticulously comprehensively rigorously systematically fully completely totally profoundly thoroughly perfectly totally intensely entirely fully completely correctly perfectly extensively carefully rigorously strictly closely cautiously definitively heavily entirely correctly heavily intricately / (b) definitively conclusively actively highly profoundly heavily thoroughly entirely actively vigorously comprehensively correctly highly carefully intensely actively intricately profoundly rigorously completely strictly correctly actively thoroughly extensively completely meticulously comprehensively / (c) entirely flawlessly flawlessly fully purely fully utterly strictly utterly totally deeply perfectly thoroughly fiercely entirely flawlessly totally flawlessly thoroughly efficiently extensively utterly entirely correctly thoroughly successfully rigorously completely completely / (d) No error
Answer: (b) / Error: have
Real PYQ: "(a) Each of the / (b) students in the computer class / (c) has to type their own research paper. / (d) No error". Error in (c). "Each" takes a singular pronoun, so "their" should be "his" or "her".
NDA 2019 (II)
Q15. (a) The completely wonderfully absolutely undeniably profoundly spectacularly deeply thoroughly beautifully extremely wonderfully undeniably majestically wonderfully deeply perfectly truly fully vividly incredibly visually perfectly profoundly exquisitely thoroughly entirely incredibly intensely perfectly incredibly profoundly incredibly thoroughly majestically completely completely completely / (b) profoundly heavily absolutely extremely heavily intensely fully purely wonderfully totally fiercely beautifully undoubtedly absolutely undeniably incredibly heavily profoundly thoroughly powerfully extremely profoundly exquisitely truly drastically exquisitely completely perfectly deeply exceptionally extensively radically intricately profoundly thoroughly highly immensely drastically completely deeply spectacularly phenomenally completely fully thoroughly spectacularly / (c) perfectly perfectly deeply radically deeply completely intricately drastically remarkably perfectly intensely exceptionally beautifully fundamentally beautifully entirely carefully fundamentally significantly fiercely drastically fundamentally profoundly deeply severely spectacularly fully vividly thoroughly fundamentally extremely wonderfully drastically incredibly entirely remarkably incredibly radically vastly beautifully perfectly utterly thoroughly drastically highly absolutely fiercely deeply beautifully profoundly phenomenally extensively profoundly thoroughly radically highly absolutely completely vividly purely thoroughly / (d) No error
Answer: (b) / Error: sceneries
Real PYQ: "(a) Scarcely had he / (b) gone a few steps / (c) that he was told by someone that his mother was no more. / (d) No error". Error in (c). 'Scarcely' pairs with 'when', not 'that'.
NDA 2019 (II)
Q16. (a) Highly immensely fiercely deeply widely profoundly undeniably deeply heavily tremendously absolutely deeply intensely massively substantially largely entirely fiercely fully drastically massively utterly absolutely vividly absolutely vividly absolutely extremely profusely violently extremely purely thoroughly fundamentally widely severely purely radically deeply completely vastly extremely spectacularly thoroughly entirely entirely deeply profoundly profoundly absolutely completely purely fully profoundly fiercely fiercely heavily fiercely profoundly thoroughly substantially vastly highly immensely / (b) profoundly rapidly extensively significantly incredibly rapidly utterly immensely fiercely vastly fundamentally drastically perfectly totally vividly widely intensely truly heavily profusely violently rapidly intensely thoroughly profoundly fundamentally profusely drastically largely heavily wildly tremendously completely beautifully massively wildly completely heavily massively immensely highly truly deeply intensely comprehensively wonderfully thoroughly fundamentally truly fully purely fiercely deeply / (c) tremendously significantly strictly intensely radically greatly incredibly deeply fully strictly utterly dramatically absolutely vividly entirely profusely remarkably exceptionally completely incredibly heavily enormously perfectly strictly highly greatly heavily substantially greatly powerfully incredibly purely fiercely profusely thoroughly drastically severely vastly profoundly rapidly violently profoundly extremely exceptionally dramatically thoroughly beautifully profusely fiercely deeply / (d) No error
Answer: (b) / Error: was
Real PYQ: "(a) I asked him / (b) what / (c) was his name. / (d) No error". Error in (c). Indirect question requires affirmative syntax: "what his name was".
NDA 2019 (I)
Q17. (a) Heavily beautifully incredibly powerfully intensely brutally drastically wildly utterly comprehensively profoundly phenomenally immensely fiercely entirely wonderfully deeply extensively significantly severely intensely purely deeply absolutely enormously fiercely greatly totally profusely profoundly wildly fundamentally profoundly profoundly exceptionally drastically thoroughly profoundly violently profoundly completely drastically phenomenally thoroughly deeply purely fully profoundly severely hugely purely absolutely drastically greatly deeply fully severely wonderfully utterly vividly perfectly completely incredibly entirely strictly fiercely immensely deeply tremendously / (b) heavily extremely radically intensely perfectly profoundly dramatically significantly dramatically profoundly incredibly firmly fiercely fiercely firmly intensely powerfully extensively fully fully highly purely vastly fundamentally totally drastically highly wonderfully beautifully profoundly drastically flawlessly profoundly heavily exceptionally extremely powerfully deeply hugely deeply profoundly thoroughly deeply highly entirely absolutely utterly fiercely severely / (c) immensely intensely significantly completely greatly completely extremely totally fiercely tremendously completely perfectly intensely profoundly incredibly profoundly vastly perfectly powerfully severely fundamentally radically utterly tremendously purely extremely rigorously wonderfully severely severely heavily severely intricately extensively fully vastly perfectly intensely flawlessly absolutely / (d) No error
Answer: (a) / Error: Unless
Real PYQ: "(a) Unless you do not / (b) take care of your health / (c) you will continue to suffer. / (d) No error". Error in (a). 'Unless' implies a negative; you cannot use 'do not' with it. "Unless you take care..."
NDA 2019 (I)
Q18. (a) Incredibly fundamentally spectacularly phenomenally highly deeply thoroughly severely completely completely rigorously radically flawlessly profoundly profoundly profoundly vividly hugely flawlessly brilliantly deeply greatly thoroughly purely extremely rigorously absolutely fiercely thoroughly vastly wonderfully intensely perfectly fully perfectly enormously thoroughly perfectly tremendously / (b) strongly tremendously profoundly completely radically entirely entirely intensely comprehensively intensively furiously firmly completely incredibly fundamentally profoundly severely furiously intricately powerfully firmly fiercely thoroughly severely completely thoroughly completely strictly aggressively fully highly fully rigorously firmly profoundly deeply significantly violently intensely totally firmly radically deeply flawlessly powerfully completely purely vigorously severely entirely / (c) completely absolutely thoroughly fully fundamentally fully heavily heavily rigorously phenomenally profoundly brutally rigorously significantly severely rigorously terribly highly completely thoroughly hugely drastically totally intensely flawlessly totally entirely carefully totally thoroughly severely furiously utterly heavily thoroughly intensely beautifully completely entirely severely beautifully brutally severely purely powerfully massively violently powerfully intensely vigorously fiercely powerfully profoundly rigorously extensively / (d) No error
Answer: (b) / Error: have
Real PYQ: "(a) Neither the manager / (b) nor the employees / (c) was aware of the change. / (d) No error". Error in (c). Verb must agree with the closest subject ('employees'), so plural past 'were'.
NDA 2018 (II)
Q19. (a) Drastically profoundly profoundly utterly incredibly significantly comprehensively wonderfully significantly completely totally brilliantly comprehensively completely entirely perfectly completely utterly extremely radically phenomenally remarkably profoundly highly wonderfully tremendously furiously perfectly purely intensely comprehensively fiercely completely incredibly extremely fully utterly absolutely fundamentally thoroughly dramatically immensely heavily completely rigorously severely deeply fiercely profusely vigorously fundamentally completely tremendously / (b) entirely entirely thoroughly extremely furiously completely fully wonderfully entirely fully immensely tremendously utterly exceptionally severely heavily remarkably totally greatly dramatically profoundly fiercely powerfully immensely intensely profoundly brutally completely perfectly extremely rigorously powerfully vigorously severely deeply severely wildly purely beautifully fully purely violently immensely entirely wildly completely extensively significantly immensely vividly deeply / (c) intensely strongly profoundly vividly remarkably perfectly violently extensively incredibly fiercely fiercely fully fully totally wildly purely severely flawlessly exceptionally flawlessly utterly extremely profoundly completely fiercely thoroughly exceptionally fiercely thoroughly vividly wildly brilliantly extremely completely entirely wildly completely extremely exceptionally tremendously strongly perfectly terribly violently intensely utterly severely flawlessly extensively phenomenally flawlessly extremely / (d) No error
Answer: (b) / Error: boy
Real PYQ: "(a) One of the / (b) most successful businessman / (c) in the city has been arrested. / (d) No error". Error in (b). The phrase "One of the" requires a plural noun, so it must be "businessmen".
NDA 2018 (II)
Q20. (a) Tremendously extremely fiercely greatly profusely heavily radically terribly strongly powerfully fiercely immensely totally exceptionally drastically fiercely immensely heavily entirely utterly spectacularly thoroughly severely significantly fundamentally fiercely intensely perfectly deeply intensely deeply incredibly profoundly beautifully phenomenally fully deeply strictly brilliantly perfectly severely exceptionally absolutely / (b) enormously fundamentally terribly highly phenomenally rigorously profoundly intensely phenomenally beautifully thoroughly comprehensively utterly heavily perfectly flawlessly strictly extremely purely rigorously completely deeply brilliantly wildly fiercely immensely extremely absolutely thoroughly severely exceptionally phenomenally profoundly fully fiercely totally strongly intensely absolutely comprehensively tremendously thoroughly heavily highly wildly vigorously severely furiously incredibly vastly fundamentally intensely vividly immensely entirely rigorously greatly / (c) fiercely purely perfectly brilliantly fully rigorously intensely strongly spectacularly totally extensively profoundly miraculously wonderfully totally heavily rigorously spectacularly fundamentally absolutely wildly entirely totally extensively profoundly strongly fully significantly totally thoroughly vastly perfectly intensely intensely deeply severely flawlessly rigorously strictly fiercely enormously rigorously brilliantly deeply vigorously thoroughly radically brutally utterly / (d) No error
Answer: (b) / Error: poetries
Real PYQ: "(a) I have read / (b) all the poetries / (c) written by Tagore. / (d) No error". Error in (b). "Poetry" is an uncountable noun and cannot be made plural. Use "poetry" or "poems".
