ANSWERS

1 c
Use ‘in’ in place of ‘of’ ‘because of a rise in packaging rate’ When speaking of increases and decreases, the preposition is normally ‘in’ (followed by the thing that increases or decreases). But when the amount of increment is given, we should use ‘for’ ‘Increase of nearly 20%’ Increase of vs in Increased is the past/participle of the verb to increase. The amount of rain this month increased by 50% over last month. This month’s rain amounted to an increase of 50% over last month.

2 b
Use ‘that’ after them ‘That ‘will be used as a relative pronoun to introduce the adjective clause (also called a relative clause)

3 c
Use ‘but’ in place of ‘than’ But is used as an alternative to except (for), apart from and bar to introduce the only thing or person that the main part of the sentence does not include. It is often used after words such as everyone, nobody, anything, anywhere, all, none, any, every. Than introduces a comparison, and is associated with comparatives, and with words such as more, less, and fewer www.facebook.com/pages/SBI-IBPS-Prelims-Preparation/939969942722564

4 a Use ‘The first two’

5 b Remove ‘more’ Since preferable already means more desirable, one should not saysomething is more preferable or most preferable

6 c ‘he doesn’t speak’ in place of ‘’he don’t speak’ ‘Does’ is used with singular pronouns i.e. when the subject is he, she or it. ‘Do’ is used when the subject is I, We, You or They

7c ‘didn’t listen’ in place of ‘didn’t listened’

8 b ‘comprises’ in place of ‘comprises of’ Comprise itself means ‘consist of’, therefore ‘of’ is not required

9 c
Use ‘have’ in place of ‘had’

10 c delete ‘other’
