Hints & Solutions

Q1. Text Solution:
The given sentence is grammatically incorrect and the
error lies in the option “is usual harvested”. The error
is related to the “Adverb”.
The error in the sentence is the use of the word
"usual" which is an adjective meaning common
or typical, but the intended word should be
"usually," which is an adverb that means most
of the time or typically.
Example:
It’s usual for her to work at
weekends.
She’s usually home by six.
In the given sentence, the adverb "usually" is
required to modify the verb "harvested" to
indicate that it happens most of the time or
typically.
On the other hand, "usual" is an adjective that
describes something as being common or
typical, and it cannot be used to modify the verb
"harvested" in this context.
Hence, the adjective "usual" must be replaced
by the adverb "usually"
Correct sentence: The jute plant is usually
harvested when it is at the flowering stage.
Q2. Text Solution:
The idiom “at a stone's throw” means “a very short
distance”.
Example: The apartment is just a stone's throw
from the sea.

distance”.

delicate; vulnerable.

Q4. Text Solution:
The given sentence is grammatically incorrect and the
error lies in the option “She say that she feels very”.

In the given statement, the subject is "She"
which is singular and the verb used according to
it is "Say" which is plural.
So use singular verb according to the subject
"She".
Hence, "Say" must be replaced by "says".
Correct sentence: She says that she feels very lonely
and depressed iving in a big house.
Q5. Text Solution:
The given sentence is grammatically incorrect and the
error lies in the option “I am currently worked”. The
error is related to the “Verb”.
The given statement is an example of present
continuous tense.
In present continuous tense we use 4th form of
the verb with the helping verbs "is,am and are".
Example: He is going to Delhi.
Hence, "worked" must be replaced by
"working".
Correct sentence: I am currently working with a
newly set up marketing company.
