Error Paragraphs/Editing Section
5 th Unit: A-Reading: storeyed house-I - Para No: 27 from the List
Correct (22): 'No sir, my service is over, I've turned sixty.'
Explanation: The sentence is in past tense, so the verb must also be in past tense. “Turned” is the correct past form of “turn.”
Correct (23): … lifted the load … to place it in position.
Explanation: The word “it” correctly refers to the load. “In it” is wrong and changes the meaning.
Correct (24): … Bhujaba was taking his measure.
Explanation: The action is happening at that moment, so the verb must be in continuous form. “Taking” is correct.
Correct (25): … Bayaji replied with pride.
Explanation: The phrase “with pride” shows the manner of speaking. “By pride” is incorrect in English.
Correct (26): Bhujaba asked greedily.
Explanation: We need an adverb to show *how* he asked. “Greedily” is the correct adverb form (not “greed” or “greedy”).
