738

SET 53 :

Bhai Is it 1.B and 2.B

1. only Option B is gramatically correct.
2. you and me is not right, had brought is incorrect too (simple past is good enough)

739

SET 53
My Take:

1) (b) If he were to decide to go to college, one would recommend that he plan to go to IIM, Ahmedabad.
Xplanation: Use of subjunctive mood. "if he were" has to be deployed here.

2) (c) Except for you and I, everyone had brought a present for the little birthday boy.
Xplanation: Since both "you" and "I" guys/gals are subject here, we have to use you and I instead of me, him, her etc.

Hope it helps and please confirm the OA.

740

My Take for Set 53

1) b

2)c

Please confirm the OA.

Note : I seldom have clear explanations as I don't remember all rules and regulations, I just follow my gut! It seldom helps others, sorry for that.

D. To the philosophy of Pessimism, the child is a mere human larva, weak, perverse, disagreeable, the heir of mortality, with all manner of "defects of doubt and taints of blood," gathered in the long experience of its wretched parentage.
E. The huge forces within have thrown it to the surface of time and they will push it onward to development, which may not be much in the individual case, but beyond it all lie the possibilities of its race.
