• It means 'the action is performed in the past'
• Let's see an example-

Key Points

• According to the rule of grammar, whenever the preposition is written we need to write a prepositional object and this can be only noun/pronoun/gerund.
• In the given sentence, 'Lose' is a verb hence we have to make it in gerund form which is 'v₁+ing' so in part D replace 'lose' with 'losing'

So the correct sentence is→ Don't provoke your younger brother. You can see he's on the point of losing his temper.

Additional Information

• 'On the point of' and 'On the verge of' are used to show future actions. These both mean 'that something is about to happen'. They can be followed by either an -ing form or noun.

Key Points

In part B of the sentence, the usage of 'spent' is incorrect Instead, use 'spend'

• In the given sentence, 'would' is an auxiliary verb and the main verb is 'rejoin' and the coordinating conjunction 'and' joins another verb which is 'spent' hence, whenever 'and' coordinating conjunction joins a verb it is the possibility that this verb is the main verb for the auxiliary verb which is written before the coordinating conjunction. The same thing has happened in this sentence.
• The verb 'spent' is the V₂ form of the verb 'spend' which is incorrect with the auxiliary verbs will/shall/can/could we always write the main verb in the V₁ form.

**Correct sentence: "**A Biden-led US would rejoin the Paris Agreement on climate change and spend big on research on clean energy and emission mitigation technologies. "

The correct answer is Option 2.

Key Points

• The correct answer is option 2) i.e. A-F.
• Let's join the phrases to make contextually and grammatically meaningful sentences.
• The correct sequences are:
• A talks about physiological monitoring and F tells where it can be brought to. So, A-F.
• B talks about changing behaviours and D talks about what they could eliminate. So, B-D.
• C talks about the nature of incentives and E talks about what the government is doing as a response to this. So, C-E.

Only A-F is given in the options. Hence, only option 2 is correct.

Key PointsThe first part of the sentence is clearly C as that introduces the scenario. Since B starts with because that is a clue that it comes after the introductory phrase. Once B ends with inconclusive evidence, it is necessary that the next part should explain what the evidence was. And it follows that A is the last part of the sentence.

It is evident that ‘B’ is the start of the sentence as it introduces the topic. The start of the statement ends in ‘such as’ and there for the next part of the sentence must have examples of the topics in ‘A’. This is followed by ‘D’ and it ends in semicolon. The next part of the sentence which is also the final part is  ‘C’. 

Here, ‘to be raised in terms of equity’ cannot start the sentence since the question ‘what is to be raised’ is not answered. A and C can be used to start the sentence. We can see that D must follow A because the money ‘has to be raised’. 2 and 4 are the options that do this. In option 4, ‘in terms of equity’ does not mean anything as money Is to be raised in ‘terms of equity’ hence, B should follow D.

Thus, the correct sequence is ADBC.

The correct answer is Option 2.
