Sentence Improvement MCQ Set 2

She avoids to go out alone at night. (Improve)

  • A. avoids going (Answer)
  • B. avoids to going
  • C. avoid to go
  • D. No improvement

'Avoid' is always followed by a gerund (verb+ing), never a to-infinitive.

  • A. succeeded passing
  • B. succeeded in passing (Answer)
  • C. succeeded to passing
  • D. No improvement

'Succeed in + gerund' is the correct structure.

The children are interesting in the story. (Improve)

  • A. interested in (Answer)
  • B. interesting about

'Interested in' describes a person's feeling. 'Interesting' describes the thing that causes the feeling.

He is habitual of waking up late. (Improve)

  • A. has a habit to wake
  • B. is in the habit of waking (Answer)
  • C. has habitual of waking
  • D. No improvement

'Be in the habit of + gerund' is the correct structure. 'Habitual' is an adjective, not used this way.

  • A. look forward to seeing (Answer)
  • B. looking forward to see
  • C. look forward seeing
  • D. No improvement

'Look forward to' is followed by a gerund (seeing). 'To' here is a preposition, not part of infinitive.

  • A. that I bought yesterday is (Answer)
  • B. which I bought it yesterday
  • C. that I had bought it yesterday

  • A. started to leave
  • B. started leaving (Answer)
  • C. No improvement
  • D. start leaving

'No sooner...than' uses past tense in both clauses. 'Had started' is incorrect.

He was too tired to can walk another mile. (Improve)

  • A. too tired to walk (Answer)
  • B. so tired to walk
  • C. too tired that he walked
  • D. No improvement

'Too + adj + to + bare infinitive' is the correct structure. 'Can' after 'to' is incorrect.

She is elder than her sister by two years. (Improve)

  • A. older (Answer)
  • B. eldest
  • C. oldest
  • D. No improvement

'Older/younger' are used in general comparisons. 'Elder/eldest' are used within the family context, but 'older' is also acceptable for people.

The Principal gave the award to Ravi and I. (Improve)

  • A. Ravi and me (Answer)
  • B. Ravi and myself

  • D. No improvement

After a preposition ('to'), use objective case 'me', not nominative 'I'.
