c. quicker by opening up your sinus passage
d. and helping you breathe easily
e. No Error

Show Correct Answers

B. but they also help you get better a cold

C. order, extending above the

a. Where I can find
b. the purchase invoices
c. after buying a
d. product online?
e. No Error

a. Sleeping with your chin tilted
b. down and knees drawn in to your
c. chest will be comfortable, but it
d. can strain your back and neck.
e. No Error

Show Correct Answers

C. chest will be comfortable, but it

Replace “will” with “may”. “Will” displays a sense of surety and universality about something as in this case ‘sleeping with your chin titled down and knees drawn in to your chest is not surely going to be a comforting position for all but it “may” be a comforting position’. “May” indicates a possibility not a surety or universality and thus should be used in the sentence instead of “will”.

a. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) on
b. Wednesday kicked of the selection process
c. for its next managing director to replace
d. Christine Lagarde, whose term expires in July.
e. No Error

Show Correct Answers

B. Wednesday kicked of the selection process

b. role in group work process as they empower
c. the members to understand each other and to
d. express their problems effectively to the group worker.
e. No Error

Show Correct Answers

B. Role in group work process as they empower

Replace ‘they empower’ with ‘it empowers’, this is because “Communication” is a single non living entity and thus the pronoun “it” will be used in order to refer to it. Whereas “empower” will also be replaced with “empowers” as any verb (empower is a verb), which has a ‘+s’ added towards the end describes a singular noun (in this case the noun is ‘communication’) whereas a verb without a ‘+s’ towards the end describes a plural form of noun.
