UPSC NDA I 2010 General Ability Paper

Directions (Qs. 1 to 8) :
(i) In this section, a number of sentences are given. The sentences are underlined in three separate parts and each one is labelled A,B, and C. Read each sentence to find out whether there is an error in any underlined part. No sentence has more than one error. When you find an error in any one of the underlined parts A,B or C, indicate your response on the separate Answer Sheet at the appropriate space. You may feel that there is no error in a sentence. In that case, letter D will signify a 'No error' response.
(ii) You are to indicate only one response for each item in your Answer Sheet. (If you indicate more than one response, your answer will be considered wrong.) Errors may be in grammar, word usage or idioms. There may be a word missing or there may be a word which should be removed.
(iii) You are not required to correct the error. You are required only to indicate your response on the Answer Sheet.
Examples 'P' and 'Q' have been solved for you.
P. The young child (a)/ singed (b)/ a very sweet song. (c)/No error (d)
Q. We worked (a)/ very hard (b)/ throughout the season. (c)/ No error (d)
Explanation :
In item P, the word 'singed' is wrong. The letter under this part is (b), so (b) is the correct answer.
Similarly, for item Q, (d) is the correct answer, as the sentence does not contain any error.
