Explanation 👇
1)(A) I have/ (B) no achievement/ (C) to boast./ (D) No error
Ans- (c) Add ‘of’ after ‘boast’. If an infinitive comes after a noun, an appropriate preposition should come after the infinitive.
2)(A) Have the letter/ (B) send/ (C) by someone who is trustworthy./ (D) No error.
Ans- (b) Use ‘V3’ of 'send' i.e ‘sent’. If ‘get’ and ‘have’ are used as causative verbs, the main verb is in third form.
e.g. 1. Have it painted(V3) red.
2. Get it done.(V3)
3)(A) My father does not mind/ (B) to be disturbed/ (C) while he is reading the newspaper./(D) No error.
Ans- (b) ‘Gerund’ will come after ‘mind’. Change ‘be’ into being’.
4)(A) Perhaps you do not know/ (B) I am having a car and a jeep/ (C) besides a big house in a good locality./ (D) No error.
Ans- (b) Change ‘having’ into ‘have’. When ‘have’ means ‘to possess’, it does not ‘ing’ form.
5)(A) The lawyer asked me/ (B) if it were worth to take/ (C) the matter to court./ (D) No error.
Ans- (b) ‘V1 + ing’ should follow ‘Worth’. ‘Worth taking’ is correct.
6)(A) I bade him/ (B) to submit all the important documents/ (C) before he left the job./ (D) No error.
Ans- (b) ‘Bade’ (V2 of bid) takes ‘plain infinitive’ (V1) after it and not ‘infinitive’ to (V1). Change ‘to submit’ into ‘submit’
7)(A) All the candidates/ (B) will give/ (C) a test on Friday./ (D) No error.
Ans- (b) ‘Take test’ is correct. Students/candidates take a test and teachers give a test to the students.
8)(A) Mrs Dorai would rather/ (B) spend a quiet evening/ (C) than attending a party./ (D) No error.
Ans- (c) Use ‘attend’ after ‘than’. Because ‘would rather’ is followed by ‘V1’ and after ‘than’ the same form ‘V1’ will come.
9)(A) The audience/ (B) watched the clowns/ (C) performed their act ./ (D) No error.
Ans- (c) ‘V1 + ing’or ‘V1’ comes after ‘watch’. Hence use ‘performing / perform’.
