Key Points

• The word "take-off" is a compound noun formed from the verb "take" and the preposition "off."
• In this context, "take-off" refers to the act or process of a plane departing from the ground.
• Nouns are words that name a person, place, thing, or idea. "Take-off" functions as a thing in this sentence.

Additional Information

• Noun – In this sentence, "take-off" functions as a noun referring to the event of the plane's departure.
• Conjunction – A conjunction connects words, phrases, or clauses. "Take-off" is not serving this function in this context.
• Verb – A verb indicates an action, event, or state. While the word "take" can function as a verb, "take-off" as a compound word is used here as a noun.
• Gerund – A gerund is a verb form ending in "-ing" that functions as a noun. "Take-off" does not fit this definition.

Key Points

• The word "that" is used to point to a specific person or thing.
• Determiners are words that introduce nouns and specify their reference within the context.
• In this sentence, "that" is used as a determiner to specify which man to look at.

Additional Information

• Adverb – An adverb modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. In this sentence, "that" is not serving this function.
• Conjunction – A conjunction connects words, phrases, or clauses. "That" does not connect other words or clauses in this context.
• Determiner – In this sentence, "that" is used as a determiner to specify which man is being referred to.
• Article – Articles are a type of determiner that define a noun as specific or unspecific (e.g., "a," "an," "the"). While "that" functions similarly to an article in specifying the noun, it is classified as a demonstrative determiner.

The correct answer is A

Key Points

• The usage of the verb in the present indefinite tense in the first clause is incorrect as it does not convey grammatically and logically correct sense. 
• We will use 'present participles' as an adjective in the given sentence, as it describes "noun" i.e. people in the given sentence.
  • For e.g.- I respect working disabled people. [here, working is a present participle, used as an adjective]
• Here, 'face' should not be used as a 'verb' as the main verb; as it is modifying 'Noun' i.e. People in the given context.
• The 'helping verb' of the sentence is 'have been' followed by main verb of the sentence i.e. 'declining'.
• Thus, 'face' will be replaced by 'facing' to make the sentence logically and grammatically correct.
  ​

Thus the correct sentence is: People facing hunger and poor nutrition have been declining in the country since 2000. 

The erroneous part is 'the very well-directed film'.

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'a very well-directed film' should be used instead of 'the very well-directed film'.
• The rule for the usage of "an" or "a" is, that if the word following has a vowel sound, "an" is used (e.g. An honor, A house).
• If there's a consonant sound, "a" is used.
• There are many examples of this in relation to "very".
  • Example: That was a very nice house!
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.
   

Correct Sentence: It was a very well-directed film and we enjoyed it.

The correct answer is "Possessive pronoun".

Key Points

• Pronouns are words that replace a noun (सर्वनाम वे शब्द हैं जो संज्ञा के स्थान पर आते हैं।). 
• There are seven types of pronouns-
• Personal pronouns -  they replace nouns representing people (वे लोगों का प्रतिनिधित्व करने वाली संज्ञाओं को प्रतिस्थापित करते हैं).
  • Example - he, she etc.
• Demonstrative pronouns -  used to demonstrate (or indicate) (जैसे शब्द का उपयोग जब किसी वस्तु/वस्तुओं की ओर संकेत करने के लिये).
  • Example - this, these etc.
• Indefinite pronouns - used for non-specific things (जिस शब्द से किसी अनिश्चित चीज का संकेत मिलता है) .
  • Example - all, none, etc.
• Interrogative pronouns -  used in questions (जो सर्वनाम प्रश्न पूछने का काम करते है).
  • Example - who, which etc. 
• Possessive pronouns -used to show possession (कब्जा दिखाने के लिए इस्तेमाल किया).
  • Example - mine, yours etc.
• Reflexive pronouns -  ends in ...self or ...selves and refers to another noun or pronoun in the sentence (इसका प्रयोग 'अपने आपको' के अर्थ में होता है।) .
  • Example - yourself, yourselves etc.
• Intensive pronouns -refers back to another noun or pronoun in the sentence to emphasize it (किसी अन्य संज्ञा या सर्वनाम पर जोर देने के संदर्भित  में किया जाता है) .
  • Example - himself, itself etc.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3.

The correct answer is option 2, --Superlative.

A positive adjective is used to describe something.
Example: She is a good girl.
A comparative adjective is used to compare two objects and it is generally followed by the word 'than'.
Example: She thinks that tea is better than coffee.
A superlative adjective is used to compare at least three or more than three objects and is generally preceded by 'the'.
Example: This is the worst day of my life.

The correct answer is He does his work carefully.

Key Points

• An adverb of manner modifies or changes a sentence to tell us how something happens, such as whether it was quickly or slowly.
• They're usually placed after the main verb or after the object.
• Here, carefully is used to qualify the verb do.
• Carefully is used as an adverb of manner.
• Thus, the sentence with the appropriate use of adverb of manner is option 3.

The correct answer is option 1, i.e. Infinitive.

Key Points

• A verb which is not limited to person and number and does not show any tense is called a Non-finite verb.
• A non-finite verb does not act as a verb.
• There are three types of non-finite verb: gerunds, infinitives, and participles.

1. A gerund is a verb that acts as a noun. It is an '-ing' verb. E.g. "Reading is her hobby."
2. Infinitives are the basic form of a verb(to+verb) and these are mainly non-inflected verb. Infinitives can be used as adverbs, nouns or adjectives. E.g. "They planned to visit my place much before." Examples of infinitives include to read, to run, to jump, to play, to sing, to laugh, to cry, to eat, and to go. 
3. Participles are the verbs ending in 'ed' and 'ing', and which act as adjectives. E.g. "I found a boy dancing in the middle of the road."

The erroneous part is '​Antique diamond necklace'.

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'An antique diamond necklace' should be used instead of 'Antique diamond necklace'.
• If any word starts with these vowels or has any vowel sound then the article 'an' is used before them. In the given sentence 'honest' starts with a 'vowel sound'. 
• Some words start with 'vowel sound' but start with 'consonant letter'. We use 'an' article before these kinds of words. 
• The list of these kinds of words is as follows: Honest, hour, heir, honorable, honorary, M.C.A. MNC, RTI, IMT, X-Ray, M.P., L.L.B., etc.
• In the given sentence 'Antique' starts with the vowel 'a'.
  • Example: It is an example worth revising.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.
   

Correct Sentence: An antique diamond necklace was stolen from the museum. 

The correct answer is 'A'.

• The error lies in part 'A' of the sentence.
• In case of a negative effect, the order of persons is: First person> Second person> Third person.
  • For example: I (first person), you (second person) and he (third person) will be punished.
• Similarly, in this context, 'I, you and he' is correct as there is a negative situation here.

The correct answer is: I, you and he are guilty and will be punished for the mistake we committed.

The correct answer is '​too grave sin'.

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'too grave a sin' should be used instead of 'too grave sin'.
• In the given sentence 'sin' is a noun. And it starts with a consonant 's'.
• Hence, the indefinite article 'a' should be used before it.
• It means 'an action or way of behaving that is not allowed by a religion'. [धार्मिक दृष्टि से निषिद्घ कार्य या आचरण; पाप (कर्म)]
  • Example: It is a sin to steal.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 2.
   

Correct Sentence: This is too grave a sin to be pardoned.

Key Points

• The correct phrase is "knowing the truth" instead of "knowing truth".
• In the given sentence, the 'truth' is known to them so it is definite and hence will take article 'the'.
• The definite article "the" is used before a noun whose identity is known to the reader.
  • Example: The pen he gifted me is still in my bag.
• The corrected sentence would be: "After knowing the truth, the jury took the right decision in the case."

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
