Written to the Indian Navy Agniveer SSR pattern, with the answer key and the method behind it — a look at how the section is actually set before you drill the full topic sets.
Error spotting · solved example
Find the part that contains an error. If there is no error, mark (e). (a) She has been working / (b) in this branch / (c) since the last five years / (d) without a single complaint.
Solution
A stretch of time takes 'for', not 'since'; 'since' marks a point in time. Part (c) should read 'for the last five years'.
Cloze test · solved example
Choose the word that best fits blank (1).
Solution
"No longer an optional skill" means it has become necessary, which fits the rest of the passage.
Error spotting · solved example
Find the part of the sentence that contains an error. If there is no error, choose option E. The committee have submitted (A) / its report to the ministry (B) / after examining all the (C) / objections raised by the applicants (D).
Solution
A collective noun may take a singular or a plural verb, but it must be treated consistently within the sentence. Part B calls it 'its report', treating the committee as a single body, so part A must read 'has submitted'. The test is not whether 'the committee have' can ever be correct, since in British usage it can, but whether it agrees with the pronoun the same sentence uses. Scan for the pronoun before judging the verb.
Fill in the blanks · solved example
Pick the pair of words that best fills the two blanks. Despite the ____ evidence against him, the officer refused to ____ the charge.
Solution
'Despite' needs strong evidence set against a refusal, so 'overwhelming' evidence yet a refusal to 'admit' the charge fits. The other pairs either weaken the evidence (scanty, flimsy) or pick a verb that does not match a defendant's stance (prove, repeat).
