Here are the errors in each part with reasons and solutions:

34. I am good (a)/at almost all games (b)/but billiards are not (c)/my cup of tea. (d)/No error (e)

  • Error: Part (c)
  • Reason: "Billiards" is the name of a game and is treated as a singular noun, even though it ends in 's'. Therefore, it requires a singular verb.
  • Solution: Change "billiards are not" to "billiards is not". The corrected sentence is: "I am good at almost all games but billiards is not my cup of tea." Error in (c)\boxed{\text{Error in (c)}}

35. I gave (a)/the police five informations about (b)/the terrorists who were hiding (c)/there to execute some bloody plan. (d)/No error (e)

  • Error: Part (b)
  • Reason: "Information" is an uncountable noun in English. It does not have a plural form "informations". To quantify it, one would use phrases like "pieces of information".
  • Solution: Change "five informations" to "five pieces of information" or simply "information". The corrected sentence is: "I gave the police five pieces of information about the terrorists who were hiding there to execute some bloody plan." Error in (b)\boxed{\text{Error in (b)}}

36. I need twenty males and fifty females (a)/to get this work done (b)/within less (c)/than five days. (d)/No error (e)

  • Error: Part (c)
  • Reason: "Less" is used for uncountable nouns (e.g., less water, less time). "Days" is a countable noun. For countable nouns, "fewer" should be used.
  • Solution: Change "within less" to "within fewer". The corrected sentence is: "I need twenty males and fifty females to get this work done within fewer than five days." Error in (c)\boxed{\text{Error in (c)}}

37. I remember meeting (a)/you along with my (b)/mother and sister (c)/in a summer time nearby Juhu Beach. (d)/No error (e)

  • Error: Part (d)
  • Reason: When referring to the season, we typically say "in summer" or "in the summer". The phrase "in a summer time" is grammatically incorrect and unnatural.
  • Solution: Change "in a summer time" to "in summer" or "in the summer". The corrected sentence is: "I remember meeting you along with my mother and sister in summer nearby Juhu Beach." Error in (d)\boxed{\text{Error in (d)}}

38. I use (a)/a very fine quality of shampoo (b)/to keep my hairs healthy (c)/and silky all the time. (d)/No error (e)

  • Error: Part (c)
  • Reason: "Hair" is generally treated as an uncountable noun when referring to the collective growth on one's head. The plural form "hairs" is used only when referring to individual strands.
  • Solution: Change "my hairs healthy" to "my hair healthy". The corrected sentence is: "I use a very fine quality of shampoo to keep my hair healthy and silky all the time." Error in (c)\boxed{\text{Error in (c)}}

39. If you are (a)/going to market (b)/bring me some fruits (c)/as I am on fast today. (d)/No error (e)

  • Error: Part (c)
  • Reason: "Fruit" is generally an uncountable noun when referring to it as a food group or a quantity of food. "Fruits" is used when referring to different types or varieties of fruit. In this context, the speaker wants a quantity of fruit, not necessarily different types.
  • Solution: Change "some fruits" to "some fruit". The corrected sentence is: "If you are going to market bring me some fruit as I am on fast today." Error in (c)\boxed{\text{Error in (c)}}
