Answers:
Exp: Since a particular lady is mentioned, the definite article ‘the’ should be used.
Exp: Since there is a choice the correct conjunction is ‘or.’
Exp: When one searches for something one looks ‘for’ it and not ‘at’ it.
Exp: When one turns one’s face towards a person (or thing) one looks ‘at’ the person (or thing).
Exp: Ones is the plural of ‘one’ and according to the sentence this is the correct word (see – twos).
Exp: ‘Every’ is used with singular nouns hence ‘cloud’ should be used.
Exp: ‘Any’ should be used with negation.
Exp: To express a higher degree of ‘better’ the word ‘much’ should be used.
Exp: ‘Rupees’ is a countable noun and hence ‘many’ should be used.
Exp: ‘Loose’ is the right word as it means ‘not fitting.’
Exp: ‘There’ means ‘at that place’ while ‘their’ means ‘belonging to them’ hence ‘there’ should be used.
Exp: ‘No sooner ……. than’ – this is a comparative sentence hence only ‘than’ is correct. Also the given words are always used in combination.
Exp: ‘Quite’ – this means ‘very’ so this is correct since ‘Quiet’ means ‘not making a sound/noise’.
Exp: ‘Farther’ means ‘at a greater distance’ so this is correct. The spelling has been corrected.
Exp: ‘Oldest’ is never used for siblings; only ‘elder’ or ‘eldest’ is used. Here ‘eldest’ is correct.
