Agatha Christie's travels with her archaeologist husband inspired her to write several mystery novels; travelers to Egypt can still stay at the Old Cataract Hotel, the model for the hotel in one of Christie's most famous books.
Agatha Christie's travels with her archaeologist husband inspired her to write several mystery novels
Agatha Christie used her travels with her archaeologist husband to inspire several mystery novels
Because her husband was an archaeologist, Agatha Christie was able to use their travels as inspiration for several of her mystery novels
Together with her archaeologist husband, Agatha Christie was inspired to incorporate their travel into several of her mystery novels
Agatha Christie's travels with her archaeologist husband served as inspiration for several of her mystery novels
Without looking into the choices: The sentence looks fine.
This sentence looks ok.
to inspire several mystery novels is wrong
awkward. Long sentence.
After reading this sentence, it gives a feeling that Agatha and her husband were inspired together.
rather than served as inspiration, inspired her to write.can be used.
If the pronoun is part of the subject of the sentence, subject pronouns have to be used
Subject pronouns - I, You, He, She, It, We, They, Who
If the pronoun is part of the object of the sentence, object pronouns have to be used
Object pronouns - Me, You, Him, Her, It, Us, Them, Whom Guys..help me out with this one.. E.g. 1. "I kicked the boy who tried to steal my coat" E.g. 2. "I smiled at the girl whom I had kicked"
In both the examples given above, the pronouns are part of the object. Then why is "who" (subject pronoun) being used in E.g.1
If "who" is the subject pronoun kindly explain...
Well..Subject is dat which performs a task. In eg 1, Boy steals d coat, so Boy is subject here. so who is used. In eg 2, I perform d task , so I is subject here and I had kicked d girl. clearly girl is object here.whom must refer to d object.. Hope its clear..
you are right when u say that both are correct.. ;)
however, I am not really convinced with the one another refers to more than 2 things funda.. could you share an example.. if possible
Let me put dis in other way. If each other is used , it generally involves two people. If one another is used , it generally involve more than two people. See d egs: The twins like each other but the triplets dislike one another. But , again i think its a matter of great debate. some people use them interchangeably while many dont prefer.

3-2 split. remove option a and e- on the basis of Sub-Verb agreement. remove option c as the comma is making "cutting" a seperate action whihc shud be the part of blood vessels. remove option b as it is wordy.The use of "and also" is redundant.
My ans is marked in bold.
Pls confirm the OA and the reasoning provided in the solution(if any).
The major areas of medicine in which lasers are effective _____ of tumors
areas is plural... so it must be "are" and not "is"... discard A and E option B is wordy option C changes the meaning and is grammatically incorrect sentence..
left is option D.. fits fine.. maintains parallelism..
I would have marked option D
lemme know the OA ;)
Answer this one with reasoning plz.

this is pretty straight forward.. apart from option D all other are incorrect senteces in themselves.. by POE, u r left with only option D

My ans in bold. Major areas-> plural. so use of are is required. B-> awkward construction C-> Not parallel..the cutting, closing of blood vessels, and in the destroying. why to use in here??? D-> forms a parallel construction.
This question is about pronouns. It may seem awkward to keep repeating "Charlie" throughout the sentence, rather than using pronouns to refer to him. However, the first instance of "Charlie" is in a possessive phrase, so it cannot act as an antecedent.
Also, we cannot change "to help Charlie" to "to help him" because it would be unclear whether "him" referred to Charlie or Rafael. The use of "his" in the phrase "his friends" is okay, because only possessive pronouns can refer to nouns that are part of a possessive clause. The original sentence is correct!

same as above.. identify the error(s)..
In spite of Charlie's protest, his friends-including his closest companion Rafael-insisted that Charlie consider outside aid to help Charlie deal with his eating disorder.
1. his refers to "Charlie's protest" and should refer to Charlie.
Although Charlie protested, his friends - including his closest companion Rafael-insisted that Charlie consider outside aid to deal with his eating disorder.
"to help Charlie" is incorrect.

IMO: D None of the other choices make sense. Starting with....followed by is right construction.
