ReplyDeleteMa'am,
ReplyDeleteCan u plz explain the 4th one.
Mam, got the 4th one wrong. Why is "Either she is stupid or pretends to be one" wrong? It's got the the correct either or combination.
ReplyDeleteMa'am, please increase the number of quiz qtns from 5 to 10...this will surely help us to increase the number of questions & Answers in our knowledge Bank. A reiterated request.....
ReplyDeletei really like these quizzes...they are very helpful for last moment preparation..
ReplyDeletemam plz increase te no. of questions
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous (hey guys plz mention your name),
ReplyDeleteSince in the 4th sentence the either is for 'she' and not for stupid hence it has to begin the sentence.Hence the correction.
Rather than increasing the number of questions in the quizzes I have thought of posting one more quiz on the same topic.This would also help students who do not want the number of questions increased.
ReplyDeleteI hope this would help.
mam , i got all right except 1 .and why the 4th is incorrect....
ReplyDeleteMa'am, need few(and not a few) quizzes on sentence correction.
ReplyDeleteI know I'll get all of them wrong, but still..practice makes man perfect.
dear mam
ReplyDeletecan we write the 4th as
eiyher she is stupid or pretends to be one
