ANSWERS
1) d; 2) c (say 'a few countries'); 3) a (with
such conjunctions as 'scarcely...when, no
sooner...than etc the pattern is verb-subject);
4) b (The correct phrase is 'coaxed into' not
'coaxed for'); 5) a (say 'a plethora); 6) b (victims of mindless not 'by mindless'); 7) a (say
'laid'. The verbs 'lay' and 'lie' are quite confusing. 'Lie' is a intransitive verb while 'lay'
is transitive. The conjugation of 'lay' is laid,
laid. The verb means 'to place down in a position of rest or in a horizontal position as in
'to lay the bag on the table or to lay a body in
the grave'. 'Lie' means 'to rest in a horizontal
position on a surface or to make lies-untruths); 8) d; 9) b ('doled out' is the correct phrase here); 10) a (though the word 'committee'
takes both 'have or has' it needs 'has' here);
11) b (the correct phrase is 'coming under criticism'); 12) c (replace 'than' with 'when' because the correct form of this conjunction is
'scarcely...when');13) a('pounced on or upon'
is the correct phrase); 14) c (the subject 'the
finding' is singular so 'is significant'); 15) b
('thrown up' is the correct phrase needed
here); 16) c (the verb 'avoids' like 'enjoy'
doesn't take an infinitive but a gerund); 17) b
(the correct pattern in indirect speech is subject-verb pattern so'...how she could').
