    Be Prepared for Surprises<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    The IBPS PO prelims 2021 took many candidates to surprise in the English section. Therefore, candidates should be prepared for such surprises. The error spotting questions were of a new type although the general method of solving was the same. The options were changed. Instead of the traditional type where one had to identify the part of the sentence that had an error, this year, students had to choose the combination of sentences which did not have an error. The RC passages were also not easy with some indirect questions although there was relief in the form on 4-5 vocabulary based questions. The phrase replacement questions had a portion of the sentence as bold and one had to find a better replacement for the portion in bold.<\/span><\/p>\n
