Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.

Key Points

• While arranging the parts of the sentence given in options, we have to find some grammatical or contextual connections between them, so let’s find out.
• The sentence should start with the subject Q, Raman.
• Q must be followed by S as it is providing an indirect object to the sentence with the help of the phrase "to continue his survey​."
• S must be followed by R as it talks about "eastern boundary."
• P must be the last part as it is providing a conclusion to the sentence by talking about "eastern boundary of the country."
• ​​Correct sentence: Raman prefers to continue his survey along the eastern boundary of the country.

• S के बाद R होना चाहिए क्योंकि यह "eastern boundary" के बारे में बात करता है।
• P अंतिम भाग होना चाहिए क्योंकि यह "eastern boundary of the country" के बारे में बात करके वाक्य का निष्कर्ष प्रदान कर रहा है।

The correct answer is ‘4’ i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.

Key Points

• In the fourth part of the given sentence, the phrase 'Hard had she' is incorrect.
• In the given sentence, the correct phrase should be 'Hardly had she'.
• This is a case of using an adverbial phrase in inversion to emphasize an action that just happened before something else.
• Example: Hardly had she entered the room when the phone rang.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

Correct sentence: Hardly had she thrown the basketball when it fell on the ground.

Additional Information

• Hardly had is commonly used to describe an action that occurred just before another action. It often triggers an inversion in the sentence structure.
• Example: Hardly had they finished their meal when the waiter brought the bill.

The correct answer is Option 1)

Key Points

• In the given sentence, the phrase 'if you will' is incorrect.
• In conditional sentences, the simple present tense is used in the condition clause (after 'if').
• The correct construction should be 'if you come'.
• Example: If you come on time, the teacher will never give you punishment.

Hence, the correct statement is: The teacher will never give you punishment if you come on time.

Additional Information

• In conditional sentences, when the condition clause (if-clause) is in the simple present tense, the result clause (main clause) is usually in the simple future tense.
• Example: If it rains, we will stay indoors.
• Do not use the future tense in the if-clause.
• Incorrect: If you will come on time, we will start the meeting.
• Correct: If you come on time, we will start the meeting.

The correct answer is Option 1.

Key Points

• The primary issue in the sentence is the incorrect usage of the present perfect continuous tense "has been teaching" when referring to a future point in time.
• The correct tense to use in this context is the future perfect tense.
• The correct phrase should be "will have been teaching," ensuring grammatical correctness and clarity.
• Thus, the error is located in part 1 of the sentence.
• Therefore, the correct answer is 1.

Correct Sentence: "By the time she retires, she will have been teaching at the university for 30 years."

Additional Information

• By the time she retires, – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• at the university for 30 years – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• No error – This would be the correct option if there were no mistakes in the sentence, but there is an error in part 1.

The erroneous part is 'provide a comprehensive'.

Key Points

• The error in the sentence is in Part]: "provide a comprehensive."
• The correct form should be "provides a comprehensive" instead of "provide a comprehensive."
• When a sentence includes a subject along with a phrase such as "along with," "as well as," or "together with," the subject-verb agreement is determined by the main subject before the phrase, not by the words within the phrase.
• In this case, "The book" is the main subject, and "its accompanying illustrations" is a phrase providing additional information. The main subject, "The book," is singular, so the verb "provides" should also be singular to agree with the subject.
• Example:
• Singular Subject: The book, along with its author, provides insight into historical events.
• Incorrect Plural Verb: The book, along with its author, provide insight into historical events.
• The corrected sentence would read: "The book, along with its accompanying illustrations, provides a comprehensive understanding of the historical era."
• This adjustment ensures proper subject-verb agreement, where the singular subject requires a singular verb.

The correct answer is Option 4)

Key Points

• The word "Condemn" means to express strong disapproval of something, typically in public; to censure. (निंदा करना)
