The correct answer is 'reaches home'.

Key Points

• The given sentence is an example of the future perfect tense.
• In this tense whichever action is finished first, it will be written in the future perfect tense and to express another action simple present tense will be used.
• Structure of future perfect tense:
  • Subject + will/shall + have + the third form of verb.
    • Example: By the time you reach the station, the bus will have left.
• Thus, the correct answer is option 2.
   

Correct sentence: By the time Kavya reaches home, I will have reached Kanpur.

Additional Information

• Future perfect tense: The future perfect is a verb tense used for actions that will be completed before some other point in the future.
• Simple present tense: It is used to express the action which is happening right now, or when it happens regularly.

The correct answer is "planned by the club".

Key Points

• The sentence is in the past tense, so the verb "planned" is correct.
• Now, let us go through the given options:
  • "Were planned by the club" is redundant, as "planned" already implies that the club was responsible.
  • "Has been planned by the club" is incorrect, as it implies a present perfect tense instead of past tense. 
  • In the given sentence, "was" is already used after the phrase. 
    • Thus, using the verb "was" twice is incorrect.
• Thus, the correct phrase to use is "planned by the club."

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

The correct answer is 'No substitution.'

Key Points

• In the underlined segment of the sentence, no correction is required.
• The use of the third-person present singular form of the verb 'plays' with the common noun 'toy drummer' is correct.
• The use of the definite article 'the' is correctly used before the specific or known noun 'drum'.
  • The specific or known noun 'drum' is discussed earlier in ''the toy drummer''.
• The use of the conjunction 'if' is correctly used as it means when; every time.
• The non-3rd person singular present form of the verb 'press' with the pronoun 'you' is correct.
   

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

Correct sentence: The toy drummer plays the drum if you press the button at the back.

The correct answer is option 3), i.e., 'would never have.'

Key Points

• The error lies in Part (would never have) of the sentence.
• As per instructions, the remaining portion of the sentence is correct.
• The given sentence is a mixed conditional sentence and it uses 'would have' in both clauses. The structure is:
  •  Sub + would + have + V3, If +  subject + would + have + been + V3
• Example:
  • They would never have worked together if she would have been transferred.
• Also from the use of 'would have' in the remaining portion we can deduce that the sentence is in the past tense. Therefore we need to use 'would' in place of 'will.'
• In the given sentence 'would' is used in place of 'will.'
• Option 4 contains the future tense 'shall' so it is incorrect. Option 2 'should' is the past tense of 'shall' that's why it is incorrect too.
• Therefore, in the erroneous part, the use of 'will never have' in the sentence should be replaced with 'would never have' to make it grammatically correct.
• Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

Correct sentence: Rita would never have changed her job if she would have been promoted.

The correct answer is 'Having been released on bail'.

Key Points

• Having + past participle expresses the cause and effect of an action in a sentence. The cause of the sentence is expressed first and its effect is expressed later.
• Both are joined by the subject because generally, the subject has done the action. But, when the subject isn't responsible for the cause or action, it is expressed in a passive voice.
  • Example: Having lost her jewel, she was sad. (Correct)
    • In the above-given example, the effect is 'she was sad' and the cause is that she lost her jewel. This sentence can be written as - She lost her jewel, and she was sad. In both sentences the subject is 'she', thus, it doesn't require the passive use of sentence.
  • ​Example: Having found guilty of theft, Gyan was sentenced to two-year imprisonment. (Incorrect)
    • The above sentence is incorrect. In the above-given sentence, the effect is 'Gyan was sentenced to two-year imprisonment', the cause of this action is that he was found guilty by police. The above sentence can be written as - Police found him guilty, Gyan was sentenced to two-year imprisonment. When the subject of cause and effect is not the same then the cause is written in passive voice. Thus, the correct sentence would be - Having been found guilty, Gyan was sentenced to two-year imprisonment.
• Thus, the correct answer is option 1.
   

Correct sentence: Having been released on bail, the minister went to meet his colleagues. 

Additional Information

• Passive voice: a form or set of forms of a verb in which the subject undergoes the action of the verb.

The correct answer is "As I heard "

Key Points

• In the given sentence, we need to use "As I heard" at the beginning to make it the simple past tense.
• The Past perfect tense is used when out of two actions it is necessary to emphasize that the preceding action was completely finished before the succeeding action started.
• There are two events in the given sentence. Both are in past tense but one is more recent than the other.
• The speaker had heard the lecture. This is the first event and hence, it takes the simple past tense.
• It is followed by remembering the book he had read two years ago. This is the second event and hence, it takes the past perfect tense.
• The past perfect tense is crucial for putting the events in the sequence in the past.

The correct sentence is: As I heard the lecture it reminded me of a book I had read two years ago.

Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

The correct answer is option 1), i.e., 'visited.'

Key Points

• The error lies in Part (had visited) of the sentence.
• As per instructions, the remaining portion of the sentence is correct.
• As we can note that the speaker is talking about his past experience of Goa tour, so the sentence will be in simple past tense.
• The structure of the simple past tense is: Subject + V2 + Object.
• Example:
  • ​I went to the market.
• So we need to omit 'had' and use the V2 form of verb 'visited.'
• Therefore, in the erroneous part, the use of 'had visited' in the sentence should be replaced with 'visited' to make it grammatically correct.
• Therefore, the correct answer is Option 1.

Correct sentence: During my Goa tour, I visited beaches in Vasco, Baga and Vagator.

The correct answer is 'wrote a letter'. 

Key Points

• The most appropriate option to substitute the underlined segment is 'wrote a letter'.
• The incident in the given sentence took place in the past, and the underlined segment was in present tense, so in order to form a meaningful sentence we have to change it in the past tense. 
• The past tense verb is appropriate given the context of the sentence, which suggests that the action of writing the letter has already taken place. 

• We don't typically use the present tense to talk about a specific action that happened at a specific time.

• In English, the past tense is used to talk about:

  • Completed actions in the past.
  • Past habits or situations that no longer exist.
  • Past facts or generalizations.
• Therefore option 2 is the correct option.

Correct Sentence: Biden wrote a letter to the Russian President to restrain from war.

The correct answer is has gone.

Key Points

• 'Has gone' should be used here in place of 'is gone'. 
• The present perfect tense is used here.
• The present perfect tense is an English verb tense used for past actions that are related to or continue into the present. 
• The correct formation of the present perfect tense is as follows:
  • Subject + has/have + V3 + Object.
• Example: They have completed the assigned task.
• Thus, the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence is option 1.

Correct Sentence: One of my friends has gone to Goa for a holiday.

The correct answer is 'sensed'. 

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect. 
• Here, the second form of verb should be used because the given sentence is in the past tense. 
• Because the given sentence is talking about a past time when they visited forest. 
• Therefore, 'sensed' should be used here. 
  ​

Correct Answer: After walking a few steps in the forest, our guide sensed some sort of movement in the foliage behind us.  

Additional Information

• The usage of before, after and until: 
  • We use before and after to talk about the order of events in the past or future. With before and after, either the main clause or the subordinate clause can come first. 
    • Example: 
      • She will pick you up before she comes here. 
        • Here, in this sentence 'She will pick you up' is the first event. And 'She comes here' is the second event. 
      • After she comes here, she will pick you up. 
        • Here, in this sentence 'After she comes here' is the first event. And 'she will pick you up' is the second sentence. 
  • 'Until' as a time conjunction means up to a time in the past or future. In the case of 'until', the main clause usually comes first.
    • Example: I’m going to wait until the January sales start to buy a new jacket.
