5991. SPOT THE ERROR: Spelding arises, leads Kreton and Powers into next room, a handsomely furnished study, many books and a globe of the world
- A. Arises
- B. Into
- C. Handsomely
- D. Furnished

Correct answer: Arises5992. SPOT THE ERROR: Kreton sits down comfortable beside the globe which he twirls thoughtfully.
- A. Down
- B. Comfortable
- C. Beside
- D. Thoughtfully
Explanation: Replace "comfortable" with "comfortably""Comfortable" is an adjective, not an adverb, and doesn't modify the verb "sits down." Using an adverb like "comfortably" clarifies how he sits and improves sentence flow.
Correct answer: Comfortable5993. SPOT THE ERROR: Powers says that President of the United States wants to know all about you.
- A. President

- A. Pleased
- B. Is
- C. Hunged
- D. The gallows
Explanation: Replace "hunged" with "hanged""hunged" is not the correct past tense form of the verb "hang" when referring to execution by hanging. "Hanged" is the correct past tense form.
Correct answer: Hunged5996. SPOT THE ERROR:It is critical that the prime minister addresses those sensitive issues
- A. critical
- B. the
- C. addresses
- D. issues
Explanation: Replace "addresses" with "address":The original sentence is incorrect because it uses the verb "addresses" when it should use the base form "address" after the phrase "It is critical that." When expressing a necessity or recommendation, the base form of the verb is used after this construction.
Correct answer: addresses5997. SPOT THE ERROR:Last Saturday Margaret read all the novels in her home and eats two bags of candy.
- A. Last
- B. read
- C. eats
- D. of
Explanation: Replace "eats" with "ate":The original sentence is incorrect because it uses "eats" (present tense) instead of the past tense "ate." When describing an action that occurred in the past (Last Saturday), the correct verb tense is past tense.
Correct answer: eats5998. SPOT THE ERROR:It has been ten years since he has broken his record.
- A. It has been
- B. ten years
- C. since
- D. has broken
Explanation: Replace "has broken" with "broke":The original sentence is incorrect because it uses the present perfect tense ("has broken") when it should use the simple past tense ("broke") to convey an action completed in the past.
Correct answer: has broken5999. SPOT THE ERRORPlants will die if they don't get enough water.
- A. will die
- B. if
- C. don't get

Correct answer: will die6000. SPOT THE ERRORI wish I hadn't had to go to the dentist tomorrow.
- A. I wish
- B. hadn't had
- C. to
- D. tomorrow
Explanation: Replace "hadn't had" with "didn't have".The sentence is incorrect because it uses "hadn't had," which is a mix of past perfect and future tense, creating a temporal inconsistency. To express the idea correctly, one should use the past simple tense as "didn't have" to make the sentence grammatically correct.
Correct answer: hadn't had
