Q1Match List I with List II and choose the correct option. List I: 1. _____ of the two candidates may be selected. 2. _____ of the two receipts was attached to the form. 3. _____ the applicants have submitted the fee. 4. _____ of the twins has a separate roll number. List II: A. All B. Either C. Each D. Neither
Either means one of two alternatives, while neither means not one and not the other. The cues are "may be selected" in sentence 1, which requires a possible choice, and "was attached" with no other negative word in sentence 2, which requires neither for the negative meaning. All fits the complete group of applicants, and each fits the individual focus in "Each of the twins has." Therefore, the only correct matching is 1-B, 2-D, 3-A, 4-C.
Q2Choose the correct determiner to complete the sentence: There is not _____ milk left in the jug, so we should buy some before making tea.
Much is used with uncountable nouns, especially in negative and interrogative sentences. The cue is milk, which is an uncountable noun here, and the sentence is negative: not much milk. Many, few, and several require plural countable nouns, so much is the only correct choice.
Q3Read the Assertion (A) and Reason (R), then choose the correct option. Assertion (A): The sentence "The whole file must be checked before dispatch" is grammatically correct. Reason (R): Whole is normally used after a determiner and before a singular countable noun when we mean the complete thing.
Whole is normally placed after a determiner and before a singular countable noun to mean the complete thing. The cue is the phrase the whole file: the is the determiner, whole means complete, and file is a singular countable noun. Thus the assertion is true, and the reason states the exact rule that explains it. Therefore, both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Q4Match List I with List II and choose the correct option. List I: 1. She has _____ friends in Jaipur. 2. There is _____ sugar in the tin. 3. _____ employee must sign the attendance register. 4. I do not have _____ cash with me. List II: a. any b. a few c. a little d. every
A few is used with plural countable nouns, a little with uncountable nouns, every with a singular countable noun, and any commonly appears in negative sentences. The cues are friends, sugar, employee, and the negative clause do not have cash. Therefore, the only correct matching is a few friends, a little sugar, every employee, and any cash: 1-b, 2-c, 3-d, 4-a.
Q5Which sentence uses the determiner incorrectly?
Every is used directly before a singular countable noun and is not followed by of. The cue is the faulty phrase every of the applicants; the correct form would be each of the applicants or every applicant. Options A, B, and D use every or each in valid structures, so C is the only incorrect sentence.
