Q13
In each question, there are five sentences or parts of sentences that form a paragraph. Identify the sentence(s) or part(s) of sentence(s) that is/are correct in terms of grammar and usage. Then, choose the most appropriate option.
- When I returned to home, I began to read
- everything I could get my hand on about Israel.
- That same year Israel’s Jewish Agency sent
- a Shaliach a sort of recruiter to Minneapolis.
- I became one of his most active devotees.
Answer: A
Statement 1 is incorrect because of the phrase, ‘returned to home’. The correct usage is ‘returned home’.
Statement 2 is incorrect because the idiom is ‘get one’s hands on’ and not ‘hand on’.
Statement 3 is correct.
Statement 4 is incorrect because there should be a hyphen or a comma after a Shaliach. (a Shaliach – a sort of recruiter to Minnepolis.) “a sort of” though rather informal, is correct usage.
Statement 5 is correct.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
