Answers with sub topics explained
Error correction questions in MAHCET are no different than what you find in any competitive examination like Bank recruitment tests, SSC, or any other Provincial or Central government recruitment examination. The difficulty level is not very high but one has to concentrate a little. Besides, if you know the basics you will be quick to solve it, else it will be better to skip it, unless you are able to recollect the rules of Grammar and syntax.
Questions 1-3 are based on usage of Articles
1.(4) – a useful device. Any word which begins with the sound of a consonant should be preceded by indefinite article ‘an’.
2.(4)-an hour too fast. Hour begins with the sound ‘o’ and not ‘h’
3.(4)- is a native of Asia. Use of indefinite article ‘a’ required before native

Questions 4-5 are based on usage of Nouns
(4) was the verdict of Jury. Jury is a collective noun. When the verdict is unanimous it is singular, when it is divided it is plural.

(2) discusses the family problems. Use of ‘as well as’ requires the verb according to the first subject.

Questions 6-7 are from Conditional and unreal Past
6. (4)- would have failed the test. Past in the past – unreal past with improbable and impossible condition. Had+III form of the verb in this conditional part is invariably followed by would/should/could/might+have+III form of the verb.
7. (4)-would not tell you. Unreal past conditional with very less probability. Use of simple past in ‘if’ clause followed by would/should/could/might + base verb form in main clause.
Questions 8-9 are based on Time zones-(Tenses)
8. (4)- It rained heavily last night. Yesterday, last day/ago/last night are used with simple past tense and not with past perfect tense.
9 (4)- he had never visited a brewery in his life. Story written later, visit that didn’t take place is supposed to be an earlier event. Past perfect in Negative form.
