Q.
(13-17) Read the passage given below. Five sentences in the passage are
numbered from 13 to 17 at the beginning.
Each of these sentences has an error. Correct and rewrite the sentences in your
answer booklet. (5x5=5 Marks)
13) Nick Vujicic
born with no arms and legs-but he doesn’t let the details stop him. The brave
26-year-old_who is mainly a torso _plays football and golf, swims and surfs,
despite having no limbs.
14) Nick
has a small foot on his left hip which help him balance and enables him to
kick. He uses his one foot to type,
write with a pen and pick things up between his toes.
‘I call it my chicken drumstick’,
joked Nick, who was born in Melbourne, Australia, but now lives in Los
Angeles. I’d be lost without it.
15) Due to his faith as a Evangelical
Christian, Nick has chosen to remain a virgin until marriage.
‘He’s very modest but he gets marriage
proposals from women all the time,’ said Nick’s friend and publicist Steve
Appel, from Los Angeles.
16) ‘He would love to got married and
start a family but he’s waiting for the right girl to come along.’
Water sports aren’t Nick’s only thing
– he also plays golf with a club tucked under his chin, and is a huge fan of
the English Premier League.
17) His parents decided not to send him to a
special school – a decision he said was very hard for him, but which may have
been the best decision they could have make for him.
