B Correct answer
Explanation

This question tests proper pronoun usage and clarity. The sentence says 'rabies almost always kills its victims unless inoculated in the earliest stages.' The question is: who or what needs to be inoculated? The victims, not the disease. Option B correctly clarifies 'its victims unless they are inoculated' - the pronoun 'they' clearly refers to 'victims'. Option A 'unless inoculated' is a dangling modifier - unclear who is inoculated. Option C 'unless inoculation is done' is awkward and passive. Option D 'unless there is an inoculation' is vague and doesn't specify who receives it.

D Correct answer
Explanation

This question asks for the most concise and natural phrasing. The original 'In a period of time when women typically have had' is wordy. Option D 'At a time when women typically' is the most concise and natural. 'In a period of time' (Option A) is redundant - 'At a time' or simply 'When' would suffice. 'During a time in which typically' (Option B) is awkward and wordy. 'Typically, during a time when' (Option C) is less natural than placing 'typically' after the time reference. Option D provides the cleanest, most idiomatic expression.

D Correct answer
Explanation

This question tests subject-verb agreement and conciseness. The subject is 'The message' (singular), so the verb must be 'makes' (singular), not 'make' (plural). Options A, B, C all incorrectly use 'make'. Option D correctly uses 'makes me feel fortunate.' Additionally, Option D simplifies 'stocks traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange' to 'NASDAQ stocks,' which is more concise while maintaining clarity. The redundancy of 'NASDAQ' appearing twice in the original is eliminated.

A Correct answer
Explanation

This question tests the correct use of 'fewer' vs 'less'. 'Fewer' is used with countable nouns (things you can count individually), while 'less' is used with uncountable nouns. 'Seats' are countable (you can count individual seats), so 'fewer seats' is correct. Options A and C use 'fewer seats' correctly. Between them, Option A is preferred because it's more concise - the clause 'with fewer seats to reduce supply' is cleaner than 'that had fewer seats to reduce supply.' Options B and D incorrectly use 'less' with the countable noun 'seats'.

Did you grow up ___ Chennai or Allahabad?

  1. at

  2. in

  3. on

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

This question tests the correct preposition for cities and geographical locations. When referring to cities, we use the preposition 'in' because we're talking about being inside the boundaries of the city. 'At' is typically used for specific locations or addresses (at the station, at 123 Main St). 'On' is used for surfaces or larger geographical features (on the coast, on the island). For growing up in a city, 'in Chennai' or 'in Allahabad' is correct. Option B correctly uses 'in'.

What year were you born ___?

  1. at

  2. in

  3. on

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

This question tests the correct preposition for years and time expressions. When referring to years, we use the preposition 'in' because years are considered time periods we exist within. 'In 1990,' 'in the year 2000' are correct. 'At' is used for precise times (at 5 PM, at midnight). 'On' is used for specific days (on Monday, on July 4th) but not for years. For asking about birth year, 'in' is the correct preposition. Option B correctly uses 'in'.
