4. Which of the following is not correct?





Answer & Solution

Answer:

He prided in his ability to dance

Solution:

The verb "pride" is used reflexively with the preposition "on" or "in" (e.g., "He prided himself in/on his ability to dance") or in the phrase "take pride in" (e.g., "He took pride in his ability to dance"). Option B is incorrect because the reflexive pronoun ("himself") is missing.

5. Which of the following is not correct?





Answer & Solution

Answer:

Vinod attempted writing a book

Solution:

The verb "attempt" is typically followed by an infinitive (to + base verb), not a gerund (verb + ing) in this context. The correct phrasing should be "Vinod attempted to write a book". The other sentences (A, B, D) use verbs followed by the correct grammatical forms (infinitive after "decide", gerund after "enjoy" and "resent").
