Language Comprehension: Grammar

Difficulty: Easy
41. Choose the odd one out regarding Tense usage.
  1. He had been working on this project for seven years.
  2. Shankar had been playing in the field for seven hours.
  3. Shabari had been waiting for Rama’s arrival for many years.
  4. We all have been residing in this society since 1997.
Correct Option: D
Explanation: Option D uses Present Perfect Continuous (“have been residing”), whereas options A, B, and C all use Past Perfect Continuous (“had been…”).
Difficulty: Moderate
42. Which one of the following is grammatically correct (Indirect Speech)?
  1. Roma said to Hema that Rajan was absent
  2. Roma said to Hema that Rajan is absent.
  3. Roma told Hema that Rajan was absent.
  4. Roma told Hema, Rajan was absent.
Correct Option: C
Explanation: “Said to” changes to “told” in indirect speech. “Told” takes a direct object (Hema) without “to”. The tense shifts to past (“was absent”).
Difficulty: Easy
43. Pick the correct option: Mr. Jackson is known ______ us.
  1. By
  2. With
  3. To
  4. On
Correct Option: C
Explanation: The verb “known” in passive voice is always followed by the preposition “to” (e.g., “known to me”), not “by”.
Difficulty: Moderate
45. Which one of the following is a grammatically correct sentence?
  1. I have been waiting you for an hour.
  2. I have been awaiting you for a hour.
  3. I have awaited for you for a hour.
  4. I have been awaiting you for an hour.
Correct Option: D
Explanation: 1. “Await” is transitive (no “for” needed). “Wait” is intransitive (needs “for”).
2. “Hour” starts with a vowel sound, so it requires article “an”.
Option D satisfies both rules.
Difficulty: Easy
