The correct answer is '3' i.e. midst of a stressful situation .

Key Points

• The given sentence describes Nalna's ability to stay calm and focused during a challenging situation.
• 'situation' is a noun. Hence, an adjective must be used to modify the noun.
• 'stressful' is an adjective and hence, it is the correct word to describe the situation.
• The phrase "midst of a stressful situation" is the most appropriate substitution, as it accurately describes a situation that causes stress.
• The other options are either grammatically incorrect or do not convey the intended meaning as effectively.

Correct sentence: In the midst of the stressful situation, Nalna managed to stay calm and focused, guiding everyone through the chaos with steady reassurance.

Key Points

• The sentence compares the distance of a single place (Meerut) without contrasting it with any other specific place.
• In such general or neutral contexts, the use of the positive degree "far" is appropriate.
• "Farthest" or "farther" implies comparison, which is not clearly stated or required here.
• Options 3 and 4 ("more farther" and "most farthest") are incorrect due to redundant comparative forms.

Additional Information

• Farther: Used when comparing physical distance between two entities (e.g., "Meerut is farther than Ghaziabad").
• Farthest: Used when comparing three or more items in terms of distance.
• Far: Used for general statements without direct comparison.

Key Points 

• The original sentence uses "sillier and irrelevant." The word "irrelevant" is in its positive (base) form.
• When two adjectives are joined by "and" and describe the same noun, they should generally be in the same degree of comparison.
• Since "irrelevant" is a positive adjective (not comparative or superlative), "sillier" (which is a comparative adjective) creates an imbalance.
• Therefore, "silly" (मूर्खतापूर्ण) is the correct positive degree adjective to match "irrelevant," making the sentence grammatically parallel and correct.

Additional Information 

• Option 1: "silliest" – This is the superlative form, used for comparing three or more things. It would not match "irrelevant."
• Option 3: "most silly" – This is an alternative superlative form, also not matching "irrelevant."
• Option 4: "more silly" – This is an alternative comparative form, but it would still be a comparative, mismatching "irrelevant."

Key Points 

• The verb "taste" in this sentence is a linking verb. Linking verbs connect the subject to a word or phrase that describes or identifies the subject.
• When a linking verb is used, it should be followed by an adjective that describes the subject, not an adverb. The adjective tells us about the state or quality of the subject (the grapes).
• "Sweet" is an adjective in its positive degree.
• "Sweetest" is the superlative degree of the adjective, used when comparing three or more things. The sentence is not making a comparison, nor is it implying that these grapes are the sweetest among all grapes. It's simply describing their taste.

Additional Information 

• Option 1: "more sweeter" – This is grammatically incorrect. "Sweeter" is already the comparative form; adding "more" makes it a double comparative.
• Option 2: "sweeter" – This is the comparative degree, used when comparing two things (e.g., "These grapes taste sweeter than those"). The original sentence doesn't imply a comparison.
• Option 4: "most sweeter" – This is also grammatically incorrect, being a double comparative with the superlative form.

Key Points

• The error lies in the use of the superlative form "cleverest" with the article "a".
• Superlative adjectives are used with the definite article "the."
• Using "a cleverest" is grammatically incorrect because it mixes an indefinite article with a superlative adjective.
• Since no comparison is being made among all lawyers, the correct form should simply be "a clever lawyer."

Additional Information

• Comparative degree (e.g., cleverer/more clever) is used when comparing two entities.
• Superlative degree (e.g., cleverest/most clever) is used when comparing more than two entities and should be preceded by "the".
• When no comparison is involved, the positive degree ("clever") is used with the indefinite article "a."

The correct answer is 'far nicer'.

Key Points

• The underlined part in the given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'far nicer' should be used instead of 'a bit nice'.
• We cannot use the article ‘a’ before shops(plural) & we cannot write ‘more’ with a comparative degree ‘nicer’.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.
   

Correct Sentence: There are far nicer shops in the town centre.

The correct answer is Comparatively good

Key Points

• The word ‘comparatively’ means ‘as compared to something else’.
• When comparing two things, we can write "comparatively good than..." or "better than"
• Using the words"comparatively" and "better" together is redundant since the word "comparatively" itself carries the inherent connotation of comparison. 

Hence, the correct sentence is “ This book is comparatively good than that which you have purchased for your preparation”.

The correct answer is 'by far the brightest'.

Key Points

• The underlined part of the sentence has an error in adjective. 
• Instead of the normal adjective bright we need to use the superlative adjective brightest as the subject (you) is being compared to a group of objects (class).
• Hence, the correct improvement of the underlined part is by far the brightest. 
• So, option 4 is the correct answer. 

Correct sentence - You are by far the brightest student in the class.

The expenditure of the government has several times been regulated for as long as six months upon this system.

• Comparative degree does not come with the word 'times'

Example- My land is four times bigger than hers. (wrong)

My land is four times as big as hers. (right)

The correct answer is beautiful long golden.Key Points

• An adjective is a word that modifies a noun or a pronoun.
• If adjective of size, colour, etc. come together in a sentence, they should be used in the following order:
  • opinion -> size  -> age -> shape -> colour -> origin -> material -> purpose
  • Example: She bought a beautiful long red silk wedding gown.
  • We can remember the order as OSASCOMP.
• According to the rule and the example that is given above, 'beautiful long golden' will be used in the underlined part of the sentence.

Correct answer: 'Rapunzel had beautiful long golden hair'.

Additional Information

• Opinion: pretty, ugly, delicious, etc.
• Size: big, tiny, huge, etc.
• Age: old, young, antique, etc.
• Shape: round, square, flat, long, etc.
• Colour: green, blue, purple, etc.
• Origin: American, Indian, Turkish, etc.
• Material: wooden, plastic, cotton, etc.
• Purpose: wedding, sleeping, etc. 

The correct answer is to pay heavily.

Key Points

• In the given sentence, the use of the adjective 'heavy' in the underlined segment is incorrect.
• To describe the degree of a verb, an adverb should be used
• Heavy is a Adjective whereas Heavily is an adverb
• Therefore, the adverb 'heavily' should be used in place of the adjective 'heavy'.

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

Thus the correct sentence is: You will have to pay heavily for your crimes. 

The correct answer is option 2) i.e. B.

Key Points

• Some nouns, which act as an adjective, cannot be in plural form.
• For example :
  • Aditya was in an urgent need for a pair of hands gloves.    
  • Aditya was in an urgent need for a pair of hand gloves.  ​
• Hence in the underlined part of the sentence, 'eye surgery' will be used as per the rule given above.
• Also, we cannot use the possessive pronoun in the given case as it will be grammatically incorrect.

Correct Sentence: "Jasmine was very upset after getting rejected on the basis of eye surgery."

The correct answer is 'but Rhea is better'.

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'but Rhea is better' should be used instead of 'but Rhea is the best'.
• In the given sentence two dancers are being compared. In these kinds of cases, we should use a comparative degree.
• So the use of superlative degree is incorrect.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 2.
   

Correct Sentence: Rhea and Heena are both great dancers, but Rhea is better.

The correct answer is 'more united'.

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'more united' should be used instead of 'more unite'.
• The use of 'unite' which is a verb is grammatically incorrect here.
• We should use the adjective 'united' which is qualified by the adverb 'more'.
• It means 'joined together by a common feeling or aim'. (समान भावना या उद्देश्‍य से संयुक्त) 
  • Example: If they presented a united front, Tessa might back up.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 1.
   

Correct Sentence: If a relationship can come out of troubles more united and more resolute, then the pains will fade sooner.

The correct answer is 'the nearest large'.

Key Points

• The sentence aims to describe the moon in terms of its proximity to Earth and its significant size compared to other celestial bodies.
• The original phrase "nearby large" doesn't effectively convey both the sense of proximity and the notion of significant size.
• The corrected phrase "the nearest large" effectively combines two elements:
  • "Nearest" indicates the proximity of the moon to Earth, portraying it as the closest celestial body.
  • "Large" denotes the substantial size of the moon among other celestial bodies, indicating its importance or significant dimensions.
• Grammatically, "nearest" functions as a superlative form of "near," signifying the closest in distance. It modifies "large," emphasizing that among the celestial bodies in proximity to Earth, the moon is not only close but also substantial in size compared to others.
• So, the chosen option, "the nearest large," effectively communicates both the idea of proximity and the significance of size in a grammatically correct manner, making it the most suitable substitution. 
   

Correct Sentence: The moon is Earth's only natural satellite and the nearest large celestial body.
