Sample English Language questions with solutions

Written to the RBI Office Attendant 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.

Reading comprehension · solved example

The shift to remote work, accelerated by the pandemic, has reshaped how companies think about offices. Employees enjoy saved commutes and greater flexibility, while firms can hire talent regardless of location. But the picture is not uniformly bright. Junior staff often learn best by watching seniors, something that video calls cannot fully replicate. Team spirit, too, can fray when colleagues never meet. Many organisations have therefore settled on a hybrid model, blending office days for collaboration with home days for focused work. Whether this compromise endures will depend on results, not slogans.

The word "endures" is closest in meaning to:

  • ends
  • begins
  • lastsCorrect
  • shrinks
  • fails

Solution

"Endures" means lasts or continues.

Error spotting · solved example

Identify the part that contains an error: Each of the boys (1) / were given (2) / a chance to (3) / present his project. (4)

  • (2)Correct
  • (3)
  • (4)
  • (1)
  • No error

Solution

"Each" is singular, so the verb should be "was given", not "were given". The error is in part (2).

Error spotting · solved example

Find the segment that contains a grammatical error: (A) Neither the manager (B) nor the clerks (C) was informed (D) about the change.

  • A
  • B
  • CCorrect
  • D
  • No error

Solution

With "neither ... nor", the verb agrees with the nearer subject "the clerks" (plural), so it should be "were informed".

Error spotting · solved example

Find the part of the sentence that contains an error. If there is no error, choose option E. Each of the candidates (A) / were asked (B) / to submit their documents (C) / before the deadline (D).

  • Each of the candidates
  • were askedCorrect
  • to submit their documents
  • before the deadline
  • No error

Solution

'Each of' is always followed by a plural noun but takes a singular verb, so 'were asked' must become 'was asked'. The trap is the plural noun 'candidates' sitting right before the verb, which makes the plural sound natural. Test it by reducing the sentence to its core: 'Each was asked', not 'Each were asked'.
