Q15. She had a burning (1)/ desire to go back (2)/ to her home
country (3)/ before she has died. (4)

a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
e) No error
 100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir
Solution.15(d)

The error in the given sentence is in Part 4.

The error, here, is in the usage of tense.
The given sentence is in the past perfect tense.
The past perfect is a verb tense used to talk about actions that were completed
before some point in the past.
The train had just left when I arrived at the station.
'Has' is used in present tense. It should be omitted.
Thus, remove ‘has’ after she to make the sentence grammatically correct.
The correct sentence should be :- She had a burning desire to go back to her
home country before she died.

Q16. The first mobile phones were(1)/ heavy and clumsy to

(2)/ use, but nowadays they were (3)/ much easier to handle.
(4)
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
e) No error
 100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir
Solution.16(c)

The error lies in option C.

The error lies in the phrase ‘they were much’.
Nowadays is an adverb which means at the present time, in comparison to the
past.
E.g. :- Who remembers those movies nowadays?
So, we need the verb in present form.
Thus, replace ‘were’ with ‘are’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.
The correct sentence should be :- The first mobile phones were heavy and
clumsy to use, but nowadays they are much easier to handle.

Q17. He is living (1)/ in Bangkok (2)/ since he (3)/ left

school. (4)
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
e) No error
 100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir
Solution.17(a)

The error lies in option A.

Here, the error lies in the usage of tense.
The correct tense to be used here, is present perfect continuous tense.
The present perfect continuous is formed with have/has been and the -ing form
of the verb.
We normally use the present perfect continuous to emphasise that something is
still continuing in the present.
E.g. :- It's been raining for hours.
Thus, replace ‘is’ with ‘has been’ to make the sentence grammatically correct.
The correct sentence should be :- He has been living in Bangkok since he left
school.

Q18. Many such marriages have taken (1)/ place from

districts which having reported (2)/ “honour killings” which
explains (3)/ the severity of the situation. (4)

a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
e) No error
 100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

Solution.18(b)

The error is in part (2) of the sentence.

Use of ‘having’ with past participle form of the verb is correct. As
some districts have already reported such cases, present perfect
tense is the most suitable to be used here.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Many such marriages
have taken place from districts which have reported 'honour
killings,' which explains the severity of the situation."

Q19. In order to eliminate the caste system, (1)/ the

state government has been promote (2)/ such
marriages by granting financial incentive (3)/ to the
couples entering into inter-caste wedlock. (4)
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
e) No error
 100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir
Solution.19(b)

The error is in the second part of the statement.

We need to use the perfect continuous tense here.
The perfect continuous form is used to describe an ongoing event that will be
completed at some (specified or unspecified) time.
Thus, ‘promote’ will be ‘promoting’ since the government is still doing so.
The sentence would be “In order to eliminate the caste system, the state
government has been promoting such marriages by granting financial incentive
to the couples entering into inter-caste wedlock.”
Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Q20. A towering spiritual philosopher, (1)/

Vivekananda, is born in 1863 (2)/ in Kolkata and is
credited (3)/ for popularising the Vedantic ideas.
(4)
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
e) No error
 100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

Solution.20(b)

The error is in part 2 of the sentence.

The correct sentence would be "A towering spiritual philosopher,
Vivekananda, was born in 1863..." as the sentence is referring to a
past event, and therefore the past tense "was born" should be used
instead of the present tense "is born".
All other parts of the sentence are grammatically correct.

Q21. The Buckingham Palace has on Sunday (1)/

confirmed in a statement that Queen Elizabeth II (2)/ and
her husband Prince Philip (3)/ is vaccinating against the
novel coronavirus. (4)
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
e) No error
 100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir
Solution.21(d)

The error in the given sentence is in part 4.

The sentence is written in the present tense, and the verb "is" in part 4 should
be replaced with "have been".
This is because the actions of getting vaccinated have already taken place, so
the past participle form of the verb should be used to indicate that the action is
completed. Also, this is a case of passive voice, hence, ‘have been’ is used.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The Buckingham Palace has on
Sunday confirmed in a statement that Queen Elizabeth II and her husband
Prince Philip have been vaccinated against the novel coronavirus."
The subject-verb agreement in the other parts of the sentence is correct, and
there are no errors of punctuation.

Q22. The leader had expressing his appreciation to

organisers (1)/ for having conducted the protest (2)/ in a
peaceful manner, (3)/ maintaining discipline and decorum.
(4)
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
e) No error
 100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

Solution.22(a)

The error in the given sentence is in part 1.

The verb form "expressing" is in the present participle form, which is
not appropriate in this context. The sentence is written in the past
tense, so the verb form should be changed to the past participle form
"expressed" to indicate that the action has already been completed.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "The leader had
expressed his appreciation to organisers for having conducted the
protest in a peaceful manner, maintaining discipline and decorum."

A. With so many frontal

B. systems so close together,
C. the weather to be
D. high changeable over the
E. No error
 100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

26.Solution
The error lies in part (d). The use of adjective/noun 'high' with adjective
'changeable' is incorrect because adjective/noun cannot modify another
adjective, so adverb 'highly' is to be used in its place as an adverb modifies
verbs or adjectives or another adverbs.
Hence, option (d) is correct.

E. No error
 100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

27.Solution
The error lies in part (d). The use of the base verb 'start' after 'had' is
incorrect because 'had' when used as the helping verb is always followed by
the past participle, so 'started' is to be used to make the sentence error-free.
Hence, option (d) is correct.

E. No error
 100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

28.Solution
The error lies in part (d). The use of 'as well as' with 'both' is incorrect as their
usage will be redundant when used together in a sentence. In place of 'as well
as', 'and' is to be used because 'both' is always followed by 'and'.
Hence, option (d) is correct.

The error in the sentence is in (D). The usage of the possessive

100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

31.Solution
The error in the sentence is in (B). The preposition 'for' is never used with
'sake', since it is incorrect grammar. We always say 'for the sake of', which
means 'for the purpose of'. (d) is the correct answer.

32.Solution
The error in the sentence is in (D). There is a preposition missing in the
sentence before 'the architectural ...', since the earlier use of 'as to' will not be
grammatically correct here. The right word that should be used is 'in' - 'in the
architectural ...' is apt. (b) is the correct answer.

The error in the sentence is in (A). The word 'still' used as an adjective before

35.Solution
The errors are in parts 'B' and 'D'.
In part 'B'- the auxiliary verb 'have' must be followed by the past participle and
thus 'destroy' must be changed to 'destroyed'.
In part 'D'- 'multitude' means 'a large number of people or things', implies that
the quantity of succeeding noun(s) to be plural and thus 'house' must be
changed to 'houses'.
Hence, the correct answer is option (d).

 100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

36.Solution
The errors are in parts 'C' and 'D'.
In part 'C'- As per grammar, conjunction 'either' is used to talk about two
options, which is not the case here. The sentence consists of two contrasting
sections and thus the conjunction to join them would be 'but'. Thus, 'but' must
replace 'either'.
In part 'D'- As per grammar, the possessive pronoun 'theirs' is used to replace
a noun, while in the sentence it is qualifying the noun 'sources', and thus,
'theirs' must be replaced by the possessive adjective 'their'.
Hence, the correct answer is option (b).

 100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

37.Solution
The errors are in parts 'A' and 'B'.
In part 'A’- ‘a' is a distributive pronoun which refers to nouns individually,
making them singular, and thus the noun 'persuasions' [which is in its plural
form] must be changed to its singular form 'persuasion'.
In part 'B'- the verb 'gives' is preceded by infinitive marker 'to' and thus must
be changed to its base form 'give'.
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).

A. Despite of threats of

C. remain hopeful that
D. can be reached
E. No error
100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

38.Solution
The error lies in part (a). The use of preposition 'of' after 'despite' is incorrect
because the preposition 'of' is not used with 'despite'. 'Despite' itself means 'in
spite of'. So, the preposition 'of' must be removed to make the sentence error-
free.
Hence, option (a) is correct.

The error lies in part (d). The use of just 'but' after the usage of 'not only' is
incorrect. To make the sentence error-free, 'but also' is to be used with 'not
only' as 'not only....but also' is a correlative conjunction.
Hence, option (d) is correct.

A. A large number
B. of worker
C. have started

100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

46.Solution
According to the rule, 'a larger number of/ a number of/ a great

Q47.
A. Tanisha finished
B. to read such
C. a difficult book
D. in just three days
E. No error

keep, allow, finish, deny, appreciate, read, etc. It is basically used to

words that are formed with verbs but act as nouns. In this case it is
used as an object of a verb.
Hence, option (b) is the correct choice.

48.Solution
Articles are words that define a noun as specific or unspecific. The
definite article 'the' is used with the name of things that are unique
or already mentioned before. 'The' isn't used with the name of a
language though it can be used before 'nationality'. 'The English'

A. He cooks food for
B. his mother daily because
C. her is on bed rest
D. due to her ailing health condition.
E. No error
100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

49.Solution
The error is in option (c). 'Her' is a possessive determiner and is not
apt for application here as possessive determiners take nouns after
them but, we need a personal pronoun; the pronoun 'she' can be
used to refer to his mother.
Hence, the correct answer is option (c).

E. No error
100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

The error is in parts 'B' and 'D' of the sentence. In part 'B', the preposition 'at',
which is used for location, is incorrectly used and should be replaced with the
preposition 'by' which is used for 'indicating the means of achieving
something'. In part 'D' the use of the phrase 'over and above' (means 'in
additional to') is incorrect as the correct phrase would be 'over and over' which
means 'again and again' which fits in the sentence contextually. Hence, the
answer is option c).

E. No error
100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

51.Solution
The errors are in parts 'A' and 'D' of the sentence. In part 'A', 'I and Sia' needs to
be replaced by 'Sia and I' as in a sentence third person is followed by the
second person and then the first person as per the correct structure of
pronouns in a sentence. Similarly, in part 'D' the use of the preposition 'in' is
incorrect and needs to be replaced by 'at' as 'at' is used to speak about specific
locations which can be confused with 'in'. 'In' is used to mean that something
occurs inside somewhere and 'at' is used to express that something happens at
the location. Hence, the answer is option b).

E. No error
100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

54.Solution
The errors are in parts 'A' and 'C'. In part 'A' use of preposition 'in'
(which is used to indicate a location) is incorrect and the correct
preposition is 'at' (which is used to indicate a specific place i.e.
'core' here). In part 'C' use of word 'intuition'(means 'the ability to
understand something instinctively, without the need for conscious
reasoning') is contextually incorrect and needs to be replaced by
'interaction' according to which the sentence says that physically
seeing different objects in the museum has its own importance.
Hence, the answer is option c).

The error in the given sentence is in part 3.

The given sentence is in present tense and the accidents are

Solution.70(d)

In the given sentence, the verb form 'boasting' is used which is

incorrect.
The sentence is in present tense.
Boasting is being shown as a practice here, hence this is a case of
present indefinite tense. Hence, ‘boasts’ will be used in place of
‘boasting’.
So, the correct sentence should be "Ten babies have perished in the
fire in the Maharashtra hospital’s neonatal care ward, an essential
facility in any hospital that boasts of a gynecological ward."

b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
e) No error
 100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

Solution.71 (a)

The error lies in the first part of the sentence.

The use of the ‘be’ verb before the main verb indicates that the
sentence is in the past continuous tense, with an ongoing action or
event having started in the past.
As such, the correct construction is the ‘be’ verb, ‘was’, being followed
by the -ing form of the main verb, ‘asking’. (The teacher was asking.)
Thus, option A is the correct answer.

e) No error
 100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

Solution.72(c)

The error in the given sentence is in part 3.

The verb "decide" is not in the correct form, and it should be
changed to "decided" to agree with the past tense of the sentence.
The sentence is referring to an action that happened in the past,
and therefore, the past tense of the verb should be used.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: "He had the option of
changing the course, but he ultimately decided to stick with it."

b) 2
c) 3
d) 4
e) No error
 100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

Solution.73 (a)

A village can only be deserted by someone.

This means that the sentence is in passive voice, with the subject
unmentioned.
The given sentence is in the past perfect tense.
So, it should be "had been" in part (1) as the "were" in part (3)
suggests that this is an event of the past.
The correct sentence would be : The village had been hurriedly
deserted, perhaps because terrorists were in the area.
Hence, the correct answer is option A.

e) No error
 100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

Solution.74(b)

The error in the sentence is in Part 2.

"which caters mainly" is the right answer as this is a case of present
tense and denotes practice of hotels that's why it will be a case of
present indefinite tense.
Hence, option b is the right answer.
Therefore, the corrected sentence would read: "Lately, the
restaurant chain, which caters mainly to blue-collar diners, has
been hurt by competition."

(4)
a) 1

d) 4
e) No error
100 Error Detection English by Vishal Sir

Solution.75 (a)

We use the past perfect continuous to show that something started

in the past and continued up until another time in the past.
In the given case, the handing out of grants started and continued
even after the point in time when people started hurrying to get
theirs.
Both these events happened in the past, except the former started
earlier than the later.
So, it should be "had been handing" in part (1).
Hence, the correct answer is option A.
