The correct answer is '3' i.e. midst of a stressful situation .

Key Points

• The given sentence describes Nalna's ability to stay calm and focused during a challenging situation.
• 'situation' is a noun. Hence, an adjective must be used to modify the noun.
• 'stressful' is an adjective and hence, it is the correct word to describe the situation.
• The phrase "midst of a stressful situation" is the most appropriate substitution, as it accurately describes a situation that causes stress.
• The other options are either grammatically incorrect or do not convey the intended meaning as effectively.

Correct sentence: In the midst of the stressful situation, Nalna managed to stay calm and focused, guiding everyone through the chaos with steady reassurance.

The correct answer is '1' i.e. most splendid .

Key Points

• The phrase "the more splendid" in the sentence is grammatically incorrect when comparing a singular collection to others.
• When referring to the highest degree of a quality (superlative), the correct form should be "the most splendid" rather than "more splendid."
• In this case, the sentence is describing the finest collection of antique paintings, which requires the superlative form.

Correct sentence: All in all, he had the most splendid collection of antique paintings ever.

Additional Information

The correct answer is '2' i.e. better of .

Key Points

• The sentence mentions a choice between two options.
• When comparing two items, the correct form is "better" rather than "best."
• "Best" is used for comparisons involving three or more items (as it refers to the superlative degree).
• The phrase "better of the two" is grammatically correct and commonly used in English.
• "Better than" is incorrect in this context because it does not fit the structure of the sentence.
• "Good of" and "best than" are grammatically inappropriate and do not convey the intended meaning.

Correct sentence: I had to choose the better of the two options available.

The correct answer is '2' i.e. tiniest .

Key Points

• The sentence states that Wolffia is the smallest plant in the world, which requires the use of the superlative degree of the adjective "tiny."
• The use of 'the' before the underlined part of the sentence hints at the fact that a superlative degree must be used in this context.
• The superlative form of "tiny" is "tiniest," which is used to express that something is the smallest or most extreme in its category.

Correct sentence: Wolffia is the tiniest plant in the world.

Additional Information

• Degrees of Comparison:
  • Positive Degree: Used when no comparison is made (e.g., "This plant is tiny.").
  • Comparative Degree: Used to compare two things (e.g., "This plant is tinier than that one.").
  • Superlative Degree: Used to compare one thing with a group or category, indicating the extreme degree (e.g., "This is the tiniest plant.").
• Superlative Forms: Superlative adjectives often end in "-est" for short adjectives like "tiny," or use "most" for longer adjectives (e.g., "most beautiful").

The correct answer is '3' i.e. the most interesting .

Key Points

• The original sentence is: This novel is more interesting of all in the library.
• Here, the sentence is comparing one novel with all others in the library, which requires a superlative adjective.
• The phrase “more interesting of all” is grammatically incorrect because when comparing one item to a group, the superlative form of the adjective must be used.
• The correct superlative form of "interesting" is "the most interesting."
• Thus, the corrected sentence becomes: This novel is the most interesting of all in the library.

Correct sentence: This novel is the most interesting of all in the library.

Additional Information

• Positive Degree:
  • Used when no comparison is made.
  • Example: This novel is interesting.
• Comparative Degree:
  • Used to compare two items.
  • Example: This novel is more interesting than that one.
• Superlative Degree:
  • Used to compare one item with all others in a group.
  • Example: This novel is the most interesting of all.

The correct answer is 'far nicer'.

Key Points

• The underlined part in the given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'far nicer' should be used instead of 'a bit nice'.
• We cannot use the article ‘a’ before shops(plural) & we cannot write ‘more’ with a comparative degree ‘nicer’.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.
   

Correct Sentence: There are far nicer shops in the town centre.

The correct answer is Comparatively good

Key Points

• The word ‘comparatively’ means ‘as compared to something else’.
• When comparing two things, we can write "comparatively good than..." or "better than"
• Using the words"comparatively" and "better" together is redundant since the word "comparatively" itself carries the inherent connotation of comparison. 

Hence, the correct sentence is “ This book is comparatively good than that which you have purchased for your preparation”.

The correct answer is 'by far the brightest'.

Key Points

• The underlined part of the sentence has an error in adjective. 
• Instead of the normal adjective bright we need to use the superlative adjective brightest as the subject (you) is being compared to a group of objects (class).
• Hence, the correct improvement of the underlined part is by far the brightest. 
• So, option 4 is the correct answer. 

Correct sentence - You are by far the brightest student in the class.

The expenditure of the government has several times been regulated for as long as six months upon this system.

• Comparative degree does not come with the word 'times'

Example- My land is four times bigger than hers. (wrong)

My land is four times as big as hers. (right)

The correct answer is beautiful long golden.Key Points

• An adjective is a word that modifies a noun or a pronoun.
• If adjective of size, colour, etc. come together in a sentence, they should be used in the following order:
  • opinion -> size  -> age -> shape -> colour -> origin -> material -> purpose
  • Example: She bought a beautiful long red silk wedding gown.
  • We can remember the order as OSASCOMP.
• According to the rule and the example that is given above, 'beautiful long golden' will be used in the underlined part of the sentence.

Correct answer: 'Rapunzel had beautiful long golden hair'.

Additional Information

• Opinion: pretty, ugly, delicious, etc.
• Size: big, tiny, huge, etc.
• Age: old, young, antique, etc.
• Shape: round, square, flat, long, etc.
• Colour: green, blue, purple, etc.
• Origin: American, Indian, Turkish, etc.

The correct answer is to pay heavily.

Key Points

• In the given sentence, the use of the adjective 'heavy' in the underlined segment is incorrect.
• To describe the degree of a verb, an adverb should be used
• Heavy is a Adjective whereas Heavily is an adverb
• Therefore, the adverb 'heavily' should be used in place of the adjective 'heavy'.

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

Thus the correct sentence is: You will have to pay heavily for your crimes. 

The correct answer is option 2) i.e. B.

Key Points

• Some nouns, which act as an adjective, cannot be in plural form.
• For example :
  • Aditya was in an urgent need for a pair of hands gloves.    
  • Aditya was in an urgent need for a pair of hand gloves.  ​
• Hence in the underlined part of the sentence, 'eye surgery' will be used as per the rule given above.
• Also, we cannot use the possessive pronoun in the given case as it will be grammatically incorrect.

Correct Sentence: "Jasmine was very upset after getting rejected on the basis of eye surgery."

The correct answer is 'but Rhea is better'.

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'but Rhea is better' should be used instead of 'but Rhea is the best'.
• In the given sentence two dancers are being compared. In these kinds of cases, we should use a comparative degree.
• So the use of superlative degree is incorrect.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 2.
   

Correct Sentence: Rhea and Heena are both great dancers, but Rhea is better.

The correct answer is 'more united'.

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'more united' should be used instead of 'more unite'.
• The use of 'unite' which is a verb is grammatically incorrect here.
• We should use the adjective 'united' which is qualified by the adverb 'more'.
• It means 'joined together by a common feeling or aim'. (समान भावना या उद्देश्‍य से संयुक्त) 
  • Example: If they presented a united front, Tessa might back up.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 1.
   

Correct Sentence: If a relationship can come out of troubles more united and more resolute, then the pains will fade sooner.

The correct answer is 'young teenagers'.

Key Points

• The term "infant teenager" does not accurately describe a particular age range, as "infant" typically refers to a very young child, while "teenager" typically refers to an older child. Therefore, it is not an appropriate term to use in this context.
• Teenager - a person aged between 13 and 19 years.
• Out of the given options, "young teenagers" is the most appropriate because it accurately describes the age range of children who are just getting started with babysitting.
• "Youngest teenagers" may be too specific and exclude some teenagers who are still in the appropriate age range, while "younger teenagers" is not specific enough and may include some teenagers who are too young or too inexperienced for babysitting.
• Therefore, "young teenagers" is the most appropriate and specific option.
   

Correct Sentence: This package is ideal for young teenagers who are just getting started with babysitting.
