The old man was overjoyed when he heard of the invitation. He became nearly incoherent with joy. He was torn between the attraction of the offer and shyness. For the first time, Srinivas observed that the man could be moved by shyness. "No, no, I never eat anywhere. Oh, don't trouble yourself about it... No, no ..." he said but all the same, got up and followed Srinivas into the kitchen. He grinned affably at Srinivas's wife and commented flatteringly: "I have always told a lot of people to come and observe this lady for a model. How well she looks after the house. I wish modern girls were all like her." Srinivas gently propelled him to a plank, on which he sat down. He observed from his wife's face that she was pleased with the compliment, and Srinivas felt that old man's coffee was now assured. His wife came out with a tumbler of water and two leaves and set them in front of them. She then served a couple of cakes on each leaf, and the old man rubbed his hands with the joy of anticipation.
At a signal from Srinivas, he fell to; and Srinivas wondered how long it was since the other had had any. "What do you eat at night?" he asked testingly. The old man tore off a piece of cake and stuffed it in his mouth and swallowed it before he answered, shaking his head: 'I'm not a youth. Time was when I used to take three meals a day - three full meals a day in addition to tiffin twice a day. Do you know
"That's remarkable." Agreed Srinivas admiringly. "But now what do you do?"
"I'm a sanyasi, my dear young man."

Correct Answer: The old man was very hungry.
Solution : The correct answer is option 1.

The correct answer is that the old man was very hungry.
Let's look at the following passage lines:
"At a signal from Srinivas he fell to, and Srinivas wondered how long it was since the other had had any. "What do you eat at nights?" he asked testingly."

Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
Daniel sat on / his new bike / and went afar / a ride.
Option 1: a ride
Option 2: his new bike
Option 3: and went afar
Option 4: Daniel sat on
Correct Answer: and went afar
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
The term afar means a great distance away, and it is not suitable for this construction. The correct preposition to use with went in this context is for. In this sentence, for expresses the purpose or intended result of the action, specifying that the purpose of Daniel's movement is to have a ride.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Daniels sat on his new bike and went for a ride.
