A. slaying there for a six years
B. staying there for any six years
C. staying there for six years
D. staying there for the six years
E. staying there for some six years
Correct Answer: C
This sentence has an error by using an article in an irrelevant place. Usually articles are not used before
the adjectives of numbers. Options "slaying there for a six years", "staying there for any six years" and
"staying there for the six years" use articles a/any/the. That is irrelevant to the context.
Option "staying there for some six years" uses an indefinite pronoun (some). Which also irrelevant.
Option "staying there for six years" is correct, without any article (staying there for six years) it gives a
complete meaning to the sentence; hence, it is the correct answer.

D. there was banquets hanging

verb of past tense (were) should be changed into present tense plural verb to make the sentence correct.
Option "there were banquets hanging" uses a past tense plural verb (were).
Option "there is banquets hanging" uses a present tense singular verb (is).
Option "there was banquets hanging" uses a past tense singular verb (was).
Option "there some banquets hanging" uses an indefinite pronoun (some) in the place of a verb.
Option "there are banquets hanging" uses a present tense plural verb (are) that is appropriate to the
sentence; hence, it is the correct answer.

B. These who dream of striking it rich can still
C. This who dream of striking it rich can still
D. Those who dream of striking it rich can still
E. Them who dream of striking it rich can still
Correct Answer: D
This sentence has an error by using a conjunction (that) in the place of a pronoun.

is something near or defined nouns nearby.
Option "This who dream of striking it rich can still" use a singular pronoun (this) that cannot be applicable.

word that starts with vowel sound.

before the word that starts with a consonant sound; hence, it is the correct answer.
