Q8. To succeed in the examination(A)/ you should learn it(B)/ by heart.(C)/ no error(D) (Find error)
A (To succeed in the examination, you should learn it by heart.)
The sentence needs a comma after "examination" before "you" to separate the phrase from the main clause.
Use a comma after introductory or opening phrases like "To succeed in the examination,".
To pass the test, she studied every night.
Q9. I beg to(A)/ forward myself as a candidate(B)/ for this post.(C)/ no error. (Find error)
B
The phrase "forward myself as a candidate" uses the reflexive myself incorrectly as the object. The correct object is "my application," so the sentence should be: "I beg to forward my application as a candidate for this post."
Use my/myself correctly: use "myself" only for emphasis; otherwise use a possessive like "my" before a noun.
I beg to forward my application as a candidate for this post.
Q10. I have been ill(A)/ since(B) yesterday evening.(C)/ no error(D) (Find error)
