1. Question
Travelling faster than the (A)/ speed of sound, the jet were the (B)/ first and one of only two supersonic (C)/ transports to flying commercially. (D)
A, C – no error. B – the singular form of the pronoun ‘was’ should be used in place of the plural ‘were’, as it is being used to refer to the singular subject ‘jet’. D – the base form of the verb ‘fly’ should be used with the infinitive construction ‘to + verb’. (c) is the right answer.
2. Question
The treaty that drew the first borders (A)/ of the new established United States (B)/ after the Revolutionary War refer (C)/ to an island that does not exist. (D)
A, D – no error. B – the adverb ‘newly’ should be used in place of the adjective ‘new’, as it is being used to modify the adjective ‘established’. C – the singular form of the verb ‘refers’ should be used in place of the plural ‘refer’, as it is being used to refer to the singular subject ‘treaty’. (b) is the right answer.

The island happened to be in the path (A)/ of a total solar eclipse in 1937, (B)/ but when astronomers went to (C)/ seek it out, the island was gone. (D)
The sentence is grammatically correct and free of error, which makes (e) the right answer.
4. Question
She and Molly still had twenty cents to spent (A)/ out of the forty they had bring with them, (B)/ twenty-five earned by berry-picking (C)/ and fifteen, a present from Uncle Henry. (D)

5. Question
There was a new one, a strangely man, (A)/ a carelessly, whistling young man, (B)/ with very bright socks, (C)/ yellow shoes, and striped cuffs. (D)

8. Question
Regardless of the facts at the end of the day, (A)/ the really travesty here is how this story (B)/ will undoubtedly add uncertainty to the fate (C)/ of soldiers being medical discharged. (D)
Errors are in (B) and (D). B — Since ‘travesty’ is a noun, ‘really’ is inappropriate before it and should be changed to the adjective ‘real’. D — Since ‘discharged’ is a verb, an adverb will have to modify it; this will be ‘medically’ and not the adjective ‘medical’. The correct answer is (c).
9. Question
There were a high turnover of workers (A)/ in smaller Indonesian abattoirs, (B)/ where the pay (C)/ can be as little to $150 a month. (D)
Errors are in (A) and (D). A — Since the subject is ‘turnover’, a singular noun, the verb too has to be in singular; ‘was’ will be correct and not ‘were’. D — We use the expression ‘as little as’ to talk of small amounts; ‘as little to’ is grammatically meaningless. The correct answer is (b).
