The correct answer is '2' i.e. Eats .

Key Points

• The sentence is in the present tense, and the subject "The cat" is singular.

• This is an appropriate action to take when someone is trying to have a phone conversation and the music is interfering.
• While "turn down" (reduce volume) is also possible in this situation, "turn off" is one of the provided options and fits the context of making it possible to hear the phone call.

The correct answer is 'achieving'.

Key Points

• The most appropriate word for the given blank is 'achieving'.
• In the given sentence 'towards' is a preposition.
• If we want to follow a preposition by a verb, we must use the "-ing" form which is really a gerund or verb in noun form.
  • Example: I will call you after arriving at the office.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.
   

Correct Sentence: The increasing concerns about climate change point to the need for enhanced efforts towards achieving sustained growth. 

​The correct answer is 'to seeing'.

Key Points

• In this case “to” is a preposition, and you always need to use the ‘ing’ form (gerund) after a preposition.
• ‘looking forward’ is a phrasal verb. A phrasal verb contains a verb and a preposition and in this case, two prepositions (forward and to).
• To look forward to is a transitive verb which means that it needs an object ( a noun or a verb).
• As ‘seeing’ is a gerund (noun form of verb), the answer should be 'to seeing'.
• This option uses the gerund form "seeing" after the preposition "to." It is the most appropriate choice as it maintains parallel structure and conveys the idea of anticipation or expectation. "Looking forward to seeing" is a common phrase used to express excitement about a future event.

Therefore, the correct answer is: Are you looking forward to seeing Nikhil again?

Additional Information

• seeing
  • This option uses the gerund form "seeing" as the object of the verb "looking forward." While gerunds can function as nouns, in this context, it feels incomplete. "Looking forward" is typically followed by a preposition such as "to" to indicate what is being anticipated.
• to see
  • This option uses the infinitive form "to see" as the object of the verb "looking forward." The infinitive form is commonly used after "looking forward" to express anticipation or expectation. It is a valid choice and grammatically correct.
• to be seeing
  • This option uses the present progressive form "to be seeing" as the object of the verb "looking forward." However, using the present progressive form in this context suggests ongoing or continuous action, which may not be appropriate. "Looking forward" implies anticipation of a specific event or action, rather than an ongoing process.

The correct answer is 'might'.

Key Points

• Let us explore the given options:
  • The modal 'might' is used to express possibility.
  • The modal 'would' is used to talk about hypotheses (when we imagine something).
  • The modal 'should' is used to express mild obligation or advice.
  • The modal 'shall' is used for expressing a strong assertion or intention.

The correct answer is 'wait'. 

Key Points

• The most appropriate word for the given fill in blank is 'wait'. 
• We know that in The English verbs let, make, have, get, and help are called causative verbs because they cause something else to happen.
• The correct structure of the given sentence is: 
  • MAKE + PERSON + VERB (base form). 
  • Example: After Billy broke the neighbor’s window, his parents made him pay for it.
• Therefore, in the given sentence 'base form' will be used. That is 'wait'.
• Hence, the correct answer is Option 2. 
  ​

Correct Sentence: The doctor often made his patients wait for long. 

Mistake Points

• We tend to go for Option 1 that is 'waited' but it would be wrong because we know that 'make' is a causative verb. And after it, the 'base form' of the verb should be used. 
• Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2. 

Additional Information

• The other rules of 'causative verb':
  • "HAVE" means to give Someone Else The Responsibility To Do Something. 
  • There are two types of structures in this kind of case: 
    • HAVE + PERSON + VERB (base form)
      • Example: I’ll have my assistant call you to reschedule the appointment.
    • HAVE + THING + PAST PARTICIPLE OF VERB
      • Example: We’re having our house painted this weekend.
  • "GET" means to Convince/Encourage Someone To Do Something.
  • The grammatical structure, in this case, is: GET + PERSON + TO + VERB
    • Example: I'll get the architect to modify the plans.

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. needn't have bought.

• It is clear that the dress was bought in the past.
• We can cancel option 1 as it is in the present tense.
• Options 2 and 3 are cancelled as they are grammatically incorrect.
• The only suitable option is 'needn't have bought'.
  • When we say that someone needn't have done something, it means that they did it, but it was not necessary.
  • Eg: You needn't have washed the dishes. I would've done it after my meal.

Additional Information

• The negative need not is often shortened to needn’t in conversations and informal writing.

The correct answer is 'part with'.

• 'become' is the base form of the verb.
• Hence, ‘become(V1)’ is the most appropriate answer.

  •                  He eats every day. (Singular)
• According to the subject-verb agreement, when we use words like as well as, along with, the verb works according to the first subject.
• Therefore, the correct sentence is:  The teacher, as well as the students, is responsible for the agitation in the school campus.
• Thus, the correct answer is option 2.

Additional Information

• ​​​If the subject has two or more nouns/pronouns and is connected by and, then the verb used will be plural.​
  • Example: Ravi and Anjali were selected for the zonal.
• ​If two or more singular subjects are connected by 'or', 'either/or, 'neither/nor', then the verb used will be singular.
