As the news of the atomic attack reached Einstein, he is becoming aware of the glaring horror of the abuse of atomic energy.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Verb Advance Question 2 Detailed Solution
The correct answer is '3' i.e. became aware of .
Key Points
- The sentence discusses a past event, "as the news of the atomic attack reached Einstein," which requires the verb to be in the past tense.
- The phrase "he is becoming" is in the present continuous tense and is grammatically incorrect in this context, as the sentence refers to a completed action in the past.
- The correct substitution is "became aware of," as it aligns the tense with the past narrative of the sentence.
- Using "became aware of" accurately conveys that Einstein realised the gravity of the situation at a specific point in the past.
Correct sentence: As the news of the atomic attack reached Einstein, he became aware of the glaring horror of the abuse of atomic energy.
Additional Information

- Other options explained:
- Option 1: "become the awareness" is grammatically incorrect and does not make sense in the context of the sentence.
- Option 2: "No substitution required" is incorrect because the original phrase "he is becoming aware of" does not fit the past context.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Verb Advance Question 10 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is: went on the rampage
Key Points
- The verb "went" is more appropriate than "played", "ran", or "strolled" because it conveys a sense of purposeful movement.

- The sentence is in the past tense, so the correct form of the verb is "went" instead of "go".
Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
Corrected sentence: The mob went on the rampage and looted several shops in the locality.
Additional Information
- "played on the rampage" does not accurately convey the seriousness of the situation and is not a commonly used phrase.
- "ran on the rampage" could be used in certain contexts but does not fit well in this sentence.
- "strolled on the rampage" is completely inappropriate as it suggests a leisurely walk rather than violent behaviour.
Direction: In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative which will improve the underlined part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select "No Improvement".
I am looking forward to participate in the international conclave.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Verb Advance Question 11 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is looking forward to participating.
Key Points
- The phrase 'look forward to' means 'to await something eagerly'.
- In this phrase 'to' is a preposition, not a part of the infinitive.
- As a preposition is usually followed by a noun, the V1 + ing form should be used.
- Example: She is looking forward to meeting you.
- According to the rule and the example that is given above, 'looking forward to participating' will be used in the underlined part of the sentence.
Correct sentence - I am looking forward to participating in the international conclave.
- You may think that the correct answer should be 'looking forward to participate' but the given answer is correct. It is because of the following reasons:-
- 'Look forward to' something means to be pleased or excited that it is going to happen.
- The ‘to’ in look forward to is a preposition, so we must follow it by a noun phrase or a verb in the -ing form.
- A gerund is a verbal ending in -ing that functions as a noun.
- For example: “Do you mind my borrowing these supplies?”
- At a quick glance, borrowing could easily be labeled as a verb. However, when working as a gerund, borrowing is now a noun.
- You cannot have the infinitive form of the verb “to participate” as a noun.
Additional Information
- With the following phrases, ‘V1 + ing’ is used after ‘to’.
- used to, accustomed to, averse to, object to, given to, owing to, prone to, taken to, in addition to, look forward to, addicted to, with a view to.
- Example: He is given to smoking.
- Example: She is prone to getting late every day.

Santa Claus stays at the North Pole when he isn’t out deliver gifts for Christmas.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Verb Advance Question 12 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is: out delivering
Key Points
- The error lies in the use of the verb form.
- Replace "deliver" with "delivering" to correct the sentence.
- The sentence says, While Santa Claus is not out distributing presents for Christmas, he stays at the North Pole.
- So, the sentence is talking about action (delivery of the gifts).
- When we are talking about a performing action the verb should be always in the '-ing' form.
- So, "out delivering" should be used here.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
Corrected sentence: Santa Claus stays at the North Pole when he isn’t out delivering gifts for Christmas.
Direction: Select the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence.

Would you have been so kind as to close the window?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Verb Advance Question 14 Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 'Would you be'.
Key Points
- The underlined part in the given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
- Here, 'Would you be' should be used instead of 'Would you have been'.
- We generally use the modal verb ‘would’ when we want to politely request someone for something. Hence, option 4 is incorrect.
- For example: Would you bring me a cup of coffee?
- Also, 'would' is a modal. A modal is always followed by the V1 form of verb.
- For example: Would you do it?
- Only 'be' among the options is in the V1 form. The rest of the verbs in the other options are not in the V1 form.
- Hence, 'would you be' is the correct segment that must be used.
- Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.
Correct Sentence: Would you be so kind as to close the window?
In the following question, out of the four alternatives, select the alternative which will improve the underlined part of the sentence. In case no improvement is needed, select “No improvement”.

Key Points
