Directions (16-20): In the following questions, two sentences are given. There may be an error in the sentence(s). Mark your answer accordingly from the given options. 

 Q16. I.His cat is more large than my dog. 
 II.I do badly in math, but at least I’m not the worst.
 if there is an error only in the first sentence;
 if there is an error only in the second sentence;
 if there are errors in both sentences; and
 if there is no error in either of the sentences.
 If there are more than two errors in either of the sentence.
Solution:
His cat is larger than my dog.(For adjectives that are just one syllable, add -er to the end) I do badly in math, but at least I’m not the worst.-irregular adjectives (and adverbs) that don’t follow the normal rules. Hence Ii statement is correct.

Q17.I.Where did you come from? 
 II.This is something on which we must meditate on.
 if there is an error only in the first sentence;
 if there is an error only in the second sentence;
 if there are errors in both sentences; and
 if there is no error in either of the sentences.
 If there are more than two errors in either of the sentence.
Solution:
'This is something on which we must meditate', is the correct sentence.

Q18. I.Where is your brother at? 
II.She is an United States senator.
 if there is an error only in the first sentence;
 if there is an error only in the second sentence;
 if there are errors in both sentences; and
 if there is no error in either of the sentences.
 If there are more than two errors in either of the sentence
Solution:
Where is your brother? is the correct sentence. It is the case of an unnecessary preposition. She is a United States senator.(when the first letter of a word is a vowel but is pronounced with a consonant sound, use a, )

Q19. I.The creativity is a valuable quality in children. 
II.I studied the French in high school for four years.
 if there is an error only in the first sentence;
 if there is an error only in the second sentence;
 if there are errors in both sentences; and
 if there is no error in either of the sentences.
 If there are more than two errors in either of the sentence.
Solution:
Creativity is a valuable quality in children. This is the case of 'zero article'. Article is omitted before nouns that refer to abstract ideas. 'I studied French in high school for four years'.Many languages are not preceded by an article.

Q20.I. I should rewrite the introduction of my essay. 
II.We’re cooking for ten guests tonight.
 if there is an error only in the first sentence;
