Mettl Sentence/Word Correction Quiz 1

The word 'coloured' must be replaced with the adjective 'colourful' to make it a grammatically correct sentence.

In the sentence, we should use an adverb to show the action that has taken place in four months. So dramatic will change to ‘dramatically.’

 

If we use ’had’ then it means the sentence is in past tense so we use ‘granted’

1. Happiest is the superlative form of happy which doesn’t require the use of ‘most’


2. We have used ‘among’ which means there were more girls. So we use ‘girls’ instead of ‘girl’.

The underlined part 'me to drinking' must be replaced with 'my drinking' to make it a grammatically correct sentence.

Since the gerund is a noun (drink), it is logical to find it preceded by a possessive pronoun (his, her, your, my, our, etc) or a noun in the possessive form (Rohan's, Mr. Sharma's, etc)

The original sentence is incorrect.

Reason: There are two errors in the bold phrase.

1st. Instead of ‘to using’, the infinitive ‘to use’ should be used here.

2nd. In the sentence, the writer refers to the subject ‘genetics’ and not the adjective ‘genetic’. Therefore, ‘genetic’ should be replaced by ‘genetics’ to make it a meaningful sentence.

Here amalgamates means to combine and so we use the singular form of amalgamate to describe the term Dancing Mindfulness.

The original sentence is incorrect.

1st. As we can observe that the sentence is made in present tense, usage of past form ‘disturbed’ is erroneous here. Instead of ‘disturbed’, ‘disturb’ should be used here.

2nd. ‘Conscious’ means ‘aware of and responding to one's surroundings’ and the word doesn’t make any sense in the context of the sentence. Instead of it, the noun ‘conscience’ that means ‘a person's moral sense of right and wrong, viewed as acting as a guide to one's behaviour’ should be used here.

1st. The phrase ‘For centuries’ and not ‘for century’ is used to denote a very long time. Therefore, ‘century’ must be replaced by ‘centuries’ here.

2nd. As the verb ‘its’ is used here, it’s clear that the subject has to be singular too. Therefore, the ‘had’ must be replaced by ‘has’ here.

Reason: The sentence implies a contradiction of thoughts and therefore usage of 'and’ as a conjunction is absurd here. Instead, a conjunction that implies the same contradictory context should be used.
