Correct Answer: needs to be careful

Solution : The third option is the correct choice.

• Here, we would replace the word "needing" with "needs" to correct the sentence.
• Thus, the error lies here in the subject-verb agreement of the given sentence.
• Since "everyone" conceptually represents groups of people, it acts as a singular pronoun. So, we have to use a singular verb. ("needs" is singular.)

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Online crimes are on the increase, so everyone needs to be careful and alert."

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: I think your watch goes ten minutes fast; mine shows the correct time.

Correct Answer: 102

Solution : Given:
18 : 123 :: 15 : ? :: 19 : 130

Like, 18 : 123→(18 × 7) – 3 = 126 – 3 = 123
19 : 130→(19 × 7) – 3 = 133 – 3 = 130
Similarly, follow the same pattern for 15 : ?→(15 × 7) – 3 = 105 – 3 = 102

So, 102 is the required answer. Hence, the third option is correct.

Solution : The second option is correct.

Narration conversion:

1. I said remains unchanged in direct speech.
2. Quotation marks are used.
3. Stopped changes to stops.
4. Would have to changes to must.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: I said, "When it stops drizzling we must start digging again."

Correct Answer: hurted himself

Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation: The correct past tense form of the verb "hurt" is "hurt". The past tense of "hurt" doesn't follow the regular pattern of adding "-ed" to the base form. Irregular verbs like "hurt" have a different form for the past tense. "Hurt" remains the same in both the base form and the past tense. So, saying "hurted" is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The little boy hurt himself when he fell off his bicycle."
