Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The given task is to identify the sentences that are grammatically and contextually correct. Let's evaluate each sentence:

• 1. The exam will begin from 2:00 p.m. on January 8th. 
  This sentence is incorrect. The correct preposition for specifying the time at which an event begins is "at" instead of "from." Therefore, it should be "The exam will begin at 2:00 p.m. on January 8th."
• 2. While entering into the college building, he saw the statue of Mahatma Gandhi. 
  This sentence is incorrect. The correct usage is "While entering the college building" rather than "entering into." The word "into" is unnecessary here.
• 3. The government has entered into a discussion with the local bodies for keeping the streets clean. 
  This sentence is correct. The phrase "entered into a discussion" is appropriate for formal contexts, indicating initiation or commencement of a formal agreement or discussion.
• 4. I will start my world tour from Sri Lanka. 
  This sentence is correct. The preposition "from" is appropriately used to denote the starting point of the world tour.
• 5. Amitabh Bacchan is married with Jaya Bacchan. 
  This sentence is incorrect. The correct preposition used in marital status is "to." Thus, it should be "Amitabh Bacchan is married to Jaya Bacchan."
• 6. I have been working on this project for three weeks. 
  This sentence is correct. The phrase "have been working... for three weeks" accurately describes the duration of ongoing work.

Based on the analysis above, the correct sentences are options 3, 4, and 6. Therefore, the correct answer is the option with the sentences "3, 4, 6."

Answer 2

To identify the correct sentences, let's analyze each one:

1. The exam will begin from 2:00 p.m. on January 8th. - Incorrect usage of "begin from" as it should be "begin at".
2. While entering into the college building, he saw the statue of Mahatma Gandhi. - Incorrect usage of "entering into" as it should be "entering the".
3. The government has entered into a discussion with the local bodies for keeping the streets clean. - Correct usage. The phrase "entered into a discussion" is appropriate.
4. I will start my world tour from Sri Lanka. - Correct usage. It is acceptable to say "start from" when referring to the beginning of a journey.
5. Amitabh Bacchan is married with Jaya Bacchan. - Incorrect as it should be "married to".
6. I have been working on this project for three weeks. - Correct usage. The sentence is grammatically accurate.

Based on the above analysis, the option with all the correct sentences is 3, 4, 6.
