Spotting Errors MCQ

The following sentence has three parts 1, 2 and 3 Find the part that has an error If there is no error, choose 4
The number of candidates (1) / appearing for the exam (2) / have increased significantly (3) / No error (4)
The number of candidates (1) / appearing for the exam (2) / have increased significantly (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (C) (3)
व्याख्या: ‘The number of’ के बाद Noun हमेशा Plural आता है, लेकिन Verb हमेशा Singular प्रयुक्त होती है। अतः भाग (3) में ‘have’ के स्थान पर ‘has’ का प्रयोग होगा। (A number of के साथ Plural verb आती है)
2
Identify the spot of error in the sentence given below:
No sooner did the chairman (1) / entered the conference room (2) / than the employees stood up (3) / No error (4)
No sooner did the chairman (1) / entered the conference room (2) / than the employees stood up (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (B) (2)
व्याख्या: ‘No sooner did’ के बाद हमेशा Verb की First Form (V1) का प्रयोग होता है। अतः ‘entered’ (V2/V3) गलत है, इसके स्थान पर ‘enter’ आएगा।
3
Find out which part of the sentence has an error:
He is one of those renowned writers (1) / who has won (2) / the prestigious Booker Prize (3) / No error (4)
He is one of those renowned writers (1) / who has won (2) / the prestigious Booker Prize (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (B) (2)
व्याख्या: Relative Pronoun ‘who’ से ठीक पहले आने वाले Antecedent (यहाँ ‘writers’) के अनुसार Verb का प्रयोग होता है। चूँकि ‘writers’ Plural है, इसलिए ‘has’ के स्थान पर ‘have’ आएगा।
4
Choose the part of the sentence that is incorrect:
If I had known about your arrival, (1) / I would have (2) / pick you up from the station (3) / No error (4)
If I had known about your arrival, (1) / I would have (2) / pick you up from the station (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (C) (3)
व्याख्या: यह Third Conditional Sentence है। ‘If + Past Perfect (had + V3), Subject + would have + V3’ का स्ट्रक्चर फॉलो होता है। अतः ‘pick’ के स्थान पर ‘picked’ आएगा।
5
Find out the grammatical error in the following sentence:
Despite of his severe illness, (1) / he managed to (2) / complete the project on time (3) / No error (4)
Despite of his severe illness, (1) / he managed to (2) / complete the project on time (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (A) (1)
व्याख्या: ‘Despite’ के साथ कभी भी ‘of’ Preposition का प्रयोग नहीं होता है। (In spite of = Despite) अतः ‘of’ को हटाना होगा।
6

The majestic sceneries (1) / of Kashmir always (2) / mesmerize the tourists (3) / No error (4)
The majestic sceneries (1) / of Kashmir always (2) / mesmerize the tourists (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (A) (1)
व्याख्या: ‘Scenery’ एक Uncountable Noun है। इसका Plural (बहुवचन) ‘sceneries’ नहीं बनाया जा सकता। अतः ‘sceneries’ के स्थान पर ‘scenery’ आएगा और verb भी singular होगी।
7
Identify the part containing the error:
The captain along with (1) / his team members (2) / are going to the stadium (3) / No error (4)
The captain along with (1) / his team members (2) / are going to the stadium (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (C) (3)
व्याख्या: जब दो Subject ‘along with’, ‘with’, ‘as well as’ से जुड़े हों, तो Verb हमेशा पहले Subject के अनुसार आती है। यहाँ पहला Subject ‘The captain’ (Singular) है, अतः ‘are’ की जगह ‘is’ आएगा।
8
Read the sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical error in it:
It is high time (1) / that you go home (2) / and start studying (3) / No error (4)
It is high time (1) / that you go home (2) / and start studying (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (B) (2)
व्याख्या: ‘It is high time’ या ‘It is time’ के बाद यदि Subject आता है तो हमेशा Past Indefinite Tense (V2) का प्रयोग होता है। अतः ‘go’ के स्थान पर ‘went’ का प्रयोग होगा।
9

Hardly had I stepped out (1) / of my house than (2) / it started raining heavily (3) / No error (4)
Hardly had I stepped out (1) / of my house than (2) / it started raining heavily (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (B) (2)
व्याख्या: ‘Hardly’ और ‘Scarcely’ के साथ Co-relative Conjunction के रूप में हमेशा ‘when’ या ‘before’ का प्रयोग होता है, ‘than’ का नहीं। ‘than’ का प्रयोग ‘No sooner’ के साथ होता है।
10

Mr Sharma is (1) / senior than me (2) / in this organization (3) / No error (4)
Mr Sharma is (1) / senior than me (2) / in this organization (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (B) (2)
व्याख्या: Latin Adjectives जिनके अंत में ‘ior’ आता है (जैसे- senior, junior, superior, inferior, prior), उनके बाद तुलना करने के लिए ‘than’ के बजाय ‘to’ का प्रयोग होता है।
11
Identify the error in the sentence:
Unless you do not (1) / work hard, you (2) / will not pass the exam (3) / No error (4)
Unless you do not (1) / work hard, you (2) / will not pass the exam (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (A) (1)
व्याख्या: ‘Unless’ और ‘Until’ स्वयं में नकारात्मक (Negative) शब्द हैं, अतः इनके वाले क्लॉज (Clause) में ‘not’, ‘do not’, या ‘does not’ का प्रयोग नहीं किया जाता है। सही वाक्य ‘Unless you work hard’ होगा।
12
Find out which part of the sentence has an error:
He is suffering from (1) / a severe headache (2) / since morning (3) / No error (4)
He is suffering from (1) / a severe headache (2) / since morning (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (A) (1)
व्याख्या: वाक्य के अंत में ‘since + time’ (since morning) दिया गया है, जो Perfect Continuous Tense को दर्शाता है। अतः ‘is suffering’ के स्थान पर ‘has been suffering’ का प्रयोग होगा।
13
Choose the part of the sentence that is incorrect:
Let you and I (1) / complete this task (2) / before the deadline (3) / No error (4)
Let you and I (1) / complete this task (2) / before the deadline (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (A) (1)
व्याख्या: ‘Let’ एक Verb है और Verb या Preposition के बाद हमेशा Pronoun का Objective Case आता है। अतः ‘I’ (Subjective) के स्थान पर ‘me’ (Objective) का प्रयोग होगा।
14
Identify the spot of error in the given sentence:
All the furnitures (1) / in my new house (2) / have been bought from Italy (3) / No error (4)
All the furnitures (1) / in my new house (2) / have been bought from Italy (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (A) (1)

15

She requested him (1) / to return back (2) / the money immediately (3) / No error (4)
She requested him (1) / to return back (2) / the money immediately (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (B) (2)
व्याख्या: ‘Return’ का अर्थ ही ‘Come back’ या ‘Give back’ होता है। इसलिए ‘return’ के साथ ‘back’ का प्रयोग करना Superfluous (अनावश्यक) है।
16
Spot the error in the sentence:
Work hard (1) / lest you will (2) / fail in the examination (3) / No error (4)
Work hard (1) / lest you will (2) / fail in the examination (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (B) (2)
व्याख्या: Conjunction ‘Lest’ (जिसका अर्थ होता है ‘कहीं ऐसा न हो कि’) के साथ हमेशा Modal ‘should’ का प्रयोग किया जाता है। अतः ‘will’ के स्थान पर ‘should’ आएगा।
17
Identify the spot of error:
I am reading (1) / this book since (2) / two hours (3) / No error (4)
I am reading (1) / this book since (2) / two hours (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (A) (यहाँ दो भागों में गलती है, मूल रूप से 1 और 2)
व्याख्या: ‘two hours’ एक अवधि (Period of time) है, अतः ‘since’ के स्थान पर ‘for’ आएगा। साथ ही समय दिए होने के कारण Present Continuous (‘am reading’) के बजाय Present Perfect Continuous (‘have been reading’) का प्रयोग होगा।
18
Find out which part of the sentence has an error:
She was extremely angry (1) / on her brother (2) / for breaking her laptop (3) / No error (4)
She was extremely angry (1) / on her brother (2) / for breaking her laptop (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (B) (2)
व्याख्या: जब कोई व्यक्ति किसी ‘इंसान’ (Person) से क्रोधित होता है, तो ‘angry with’ का प्रयोग होता है। (Angry with a person / Angry at a thing/behavior) अतः ‘on’ की जगह ‘with’ आएगा।

Neither the students (1) / nor the teacher (2) / were present in the class (3) / No error (4)
Neither the students (1) / nor the teacher (2) / were present in the class (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (C) (3)
व्याख्या: ‘Neither nor’, ‘Either or’, या ‘Not only but also’ से जब दो Subject जुड़ते हैं, तो Verb हमेशा अपने सबसे नज़दीक वाले Subject (Rule of Proximity) के अनुसार आती है। यहाँ नज़दीक का Subject ‘the teacher’ (Singular) है, इसलिए ‘were’ की जगह ‘was’ आएगा।
20
Find the error:
The manager put forward (1) / a number of critereons (2) / for the post (3) / No error (4)
The manager put forward (1) / a number of critereons (2) / for the post (3) / No error (4)
Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (B) (2)
व्याख्या: ‘Criterion’ (मापदंड) एक Singular noun है और इसका Plural ‘criteria’ होता है। अंग्रेजी में ‘critereons’ जैसा कोई शब्द नहीं होता (यह स्पेलिंग और ग्रामर दोनों से गलत है)।
21

Important
✅ सही उत्तर: (B) (2)
