Question

Read the following sentences carefully.
A. The dean asked for additional funding.
B. The boss discussed about the new project with his team.
C. Radhika is good in data interpretation.
D. Neil is transitioning into a new phase of life.
E. Rajat emphasized on the need for consistency in XAT preparation.
F. This car is superior to the previous one in terms of efficiency.
Which of the following options contains only grammatically CORRECT sentences?

• A. A, D & F
• B. A, B & C
• C. B, C & F
• D. C, E & F
• E. B, C & D

Hint:

Be careful with idiomatic errors: “discuss” does not take “about,” “good at” is correct usage, and “emphasize” should not be followed by “on.”

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To determine which sentences are grammatically correct, we will examine each sentence individually:

• Sentence A: "The dean asked for additional funding." - This sentence is correct. The verb "asked for" correctly implies a request for something, in this case, "additional funding."
• Sentence B: "The boss discussed about the new project with his team." - This sentence is incorrect because the word "discussed" should not be followed by "about." The correct sentence would be "The boss discussed the new project with his team."
• Sentence C: "Radhika is good in data interpretation." - This sentence is incorrect. The correct preposition should be "at," so it should be "Radhika is good at data interpretation."
• Sentence D: "Neil is transitioning into a new phase of life." - This is correct. The use of "into" accurately represents the change into a new state or phase.
• Sentence E: "Rajat emphasized on the need for consistency in XAT preparation." - This sentence is incorrect because "emphasized" is not followed by "on" in standard usage. It should be "Rajat emphasized the need for consistency in XAT preparation."
• Sentence F: "This car is superior to the previous one in terms of efficiency." - This sentence is correct. "Superior to" is the correct usage when comparing two objects.

Based on the analysis above, the sentences that are grammatically correct are A, D, and F. Therefore, the option containing only grammatically correct sentences is A, D & F.

Answer 2

Step 1: Check each sentence.
- Sentence A: Correct. “The dean asked for additional funding” is grammatically fine. - Sentence B: Incorrect. “Discussed about” is wrong. It should be “discussed the new project.” - Sentence C: Incorrect. “Good in” is wrong; it should be “good at.” - Sentence D: Correct. “Neil is transitioning into a new phase of life” is correct. - Sentence E: Incorrect. “Emphasized on” is wrong; it should be “emphasized the need.” - Sentence F: Correct. “This car is superior to the previous one in terms of efficiency” is fine.
Step 2: Select correct group.
The correct sentences are A, D, F.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{A (A, D & F)}} \]
