Correct option: C — The viable of life

The viable of life Adjective ‘viable’ must be replaced with the noun ‘viability’ as we need to use a specific noun after the article ‘the.’ Hence, ‘the viability of life’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: C — shall be playing

shall be playing ‘Shall be playing’ must be replaced with ‘shall have been playing’ as the given sentence mentions a period of time ‘for four hours’, so we need to use future perfect continuous tense (will/shall + have + been + V1-ing). Hence, ‘shall have been playing’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: A — lately

lately Lately means recently while ‘late’ means after the usual or expected time. Adverb ‘late’ is the correct choice here as it denotes the person’s habit of waking up after the expected time in the past. Hence, ‘late’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: D — As they driven through the dark, twisting lane

As they driven through the dark, twisting lane If two actions took place in the past then the 1st action must be in the Past perfect tense(Had + V3- walked) and the 2nd action must be in the Simple Past tense(V2). However, the V2 form of ‘drive’ is ‘drove’. Hence, ‘as they drove(V2) through the dark, twisting lane’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: B — The platinum

The platinum Article ‘the’ must be removed as the definite article 'the' is not used before the name of materials like Gold, Silver, Platinum etc. Hence, ‘platinum’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: A — most off

most off ‘Off’ must be replaced with ‘of’ as ‘Off’ is usually used as a preposition to indicate separation (going away from something) or disconnection. Preposition ‘Of’ is used to indicate something being part of something. Therefore, ‘most of’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: D — This is the oldest standing structure of Chola architecture in India.

This is the oldest standing structure of Chola architecture in India. ‘Eldest’ must be replaced with ‘oldest’. We use superlative degree 'eldest' for blood relations of the same generation or lower generation & 'oldest' for something that was created first of all. Hence, ‘option (d)’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: B — travel in train

travel in train Preposition ‘in’ must be replaced with ‘by’ as preposition ‘by’ is used with the means or method of transportation. For example- by train, by bus, by car, etc. Hence, ‘travel by train’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: C — she will have married

she will have married ‘Will have’ must be replaced with ‘will be’. Simple Present Tense(Singular Sub. + V-s/es) is used with the phrase ‘by the time’ to indicate the point of time in the future when some action will have been completed. Hence, ‘she marries’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: D — on an Atlas-Agena D rocket

on an Atlas-Agena D rocket Article ‘a’ must be replaced with ‘article ‘an’ as we generally use article ‘an’ with the nouns starting with a vowel sound. Similarly, in the given sentence, ‘Atlas-Agena D’ starts with a vowel sound. Hence, ‘an’ is the most appropriate answer.
