  • 11. 

    Which out of the following is grammatically correct:

    • When I was doing my schooling I played basketball

    • I played basketball in school

    Correct Answer
    A. I played basketball in school
    Explanation
    The second option, "I played basketball in school," is grammatically correct. It follows the standard sentence structure with a subject (I), a verb (played), and an object (basketball). It also uses the correct preposition "in" to indicate the location (school) where the basketball was played. The first option, "When I was doing my schooling I played basketball," is grammatically incorrect because it uses an awkward phrasing ("doing my schooling") and does not specify the location where the basketball was played.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Which out of the following is grammatically correct:

    • We ran for one and half hour only

    • We ran for about an hour and a half

    Correct Answer
    A. We ran for about an hour and a half
    Explanation
    The second option, "We ran for about an hour and a half," is grammatically correct. This sentence follows the standard structure of stating the duration of an activity using the phrase "for about" followed by the specific time duration, in this case, "an hour and a half." The first option, "We ran for one and a half hour only," is grammatically incorrect because it should be "one and a half hours" to match the plural form of "hour."
