The correct answer is 'B' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.

Key Points

• In the second part of the given sentence, the use of the preposition 'beside' is incorrect.
• The preposition 'beside' means ''close to'' or ''next to'' somebody or something.
• Example: She sat down beside the fire.
• ​The given sentence is saying that thirteen M.A.s and seven bachelors apart from the president, John Hornley, B.D, were named in the charter.
• Therefore, the preposition 'besides' should be used in place of the preposition 'beside'.
• The preposition 'besides' means ''in addition to'' or ''apart from'' somebody or something.
• Example: Besides milk and butter, we need some vegetables.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

Correct Sentence: Thirteen M.A.s and seven bachelors, besides the president, John Hornley, B.D., were named in the charter.

The correct answer is 'C' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.

Key Points

• In the given sentence, the words 'summarize' and 'briefly' are used side by side in part C, thus the sentence is corrupted by redundancy.
• The meaning of 'summarize' is to express briefly.
• The word 'briefly' is included in the meaning of 'summarize'.
• So, both 'briefly' and 'summarize' can’t be used in a single sentence.
• Therefore, we can say that using the word 'briefly' along with 'summarize' is redundant.

Hence, the only possible answer is option 3.

Correct Sentence: I would like to take a moment to summarize the facts that I presented earlier.

The correct answer is 'D' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.

Key Points

• In the fourth part of the given sentence, the singular form of the noun ''restaurant'' is incorrect.
• The ''one of'' in the given sentence is a singular term and is generally used to talk about a noun or a pronoun.
• The noun or a pronoun used after the phrase ''one of'' is always in the plural form ( as we are talking of one person/place/thing out of many).
• Therefore, the plural form of the noun ''restaurants'' should be used in place of the singular noun 'restaurant'.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

Correct sentence: He took us all out to dinner at one of the best Japanese restaurants in town.

Additional Information

• The helping verb will always be in the singular form, as the helping verb agrees with ''one of'' and not with the plural noun in the sentence.

The correct answer is 'C' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.

Key Points

• In the third part of the given sentence, the use of the base form of the verb ''will'' in the main clause is incorrect.
• The given sentence is the third conditional sentence explaining that present circumstances would be different if something different had happened in the past.
• The third conditional sentence format: If + past perfect, modal auxiliary (would, could, should, etc.)​ + have + past participle.
• When using the third conditional, we use the past perfect i.e. had + past participle (here, known) in the if-clause and the modal auxiliary (would, could, should, etc.) + have + past participle (here, watched) in the main clause.
• Therefore, the past participle form of the verb ''would'' should be used in place of the base form of the verb ''will''.

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Correct sentence: If Vikas had known that he would learn so much, he would have watched this lesson.

The correct answer is 'A' i.e. this part of the sentence has an error.

Key Points

• In the first part of the given sentence, the use of the base form of the verb ''will'' in the main clause is incorrect.
• The given sentence is the third conditional sentence explaining that present circumstances would be different if something different had happened in the past.
• The third conditional sentence format: If + past perfect, modal auxiliary (would, could, should, etc.)​ + have + past participle.
• When using the third conditional, we use the past perfect i.e. had + past participle (here, apologized) in the if-clause and the modal auxiliary (would, could, should, etc.) + have + past participle (here, given) in the main clause.
• Therefore, the past participle form of the verb ''would'' should be used in place of the base form of the verb ''will''.

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

Correct sentence: He would not have given you a fine if you had apologized.

The correct answer is option 2.
