  • I brought two dozens apples
  • none of these
  • Correct Option: B  [ I picked up a five-rupee note. ]

    Remark: "a" is the indefinite article used to introduce a singular countable noun.
    "five-rupee" is a compound adjective that describes the type of note. It tells us that the note has a denomination of five rupees.

    A: "Mr. Bhatt is the oldest citizen of the village."
    C: "I brought two dozen apples."

  • Correct Option: B  [ B ]

    Remark: The corrected sentence is: "I saw the blind man (A)/ crossing the busy road (B)/ without any help (C)/ No error (D)."

    the word "crossed" is a past tense verb, which doesn't fit with the context. the verb "crossed" should be "crossing" to show that the man was in the middle of crossing the road when the speaker saw him.
