Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To identify which sentences are grammatically correct, let's analyze each sentence one by one:

1. Sentence 1: "Have you any clothes to dispose of?"
   This sentence is grammatically correct. It accurately inquires whether the person has any clothes they wish to get rid of, using a proper question form in English with "Have you".
2. Sentence 2: "I saw a pleasant dream last night."
   This sentence is incorrect because in English, the correct phrase is "I had a pleasant dream" rather than "I saw". Dreams are experienced or had, not seen.
3. Sentence 3: "I have done it many a times safely."
   The correct expression should be "many times" or "many a time". Therefore, this sentence is incorrect.
4. Sentence 4: "Students struggle to cope up with academic pressure."
   The correct phrase should be "cope with", not "cope up with". Hence, this sentence is grammatically incorrect.
5. Sentence 5: "You need not give negative feedback to your employees."
   This is grammatically correct. The use of "need not" to express necessity is properly used here.
6. Sentence 6: "My friend is good at playing football."
   This sentence is grammatically correct. The phrase "good at" combined with a gerund (playing) is correctly used.

Based on the analysis, the sentences that are grammatically correct are 1, 5, and 6. Therefore, the correct answer is the option "

1,5,6

Answer 2

• Sentence 1: "Have you any clothes to dispose of?" → Correct. The correct phrase is dispose of not just dispose. 

• Sentence 2: "I saw a pleasant dream last night." → Incorrect. In English, the usual collocation is had a dream, not saw a dream. 

• Sentence 3: "I have done it many a times safely." → Incorrect. The correct form is many a time (singular), not "many a times". 

• Sentence 4: "Students struggle to cope up with academic pressure." → Incorrect. The correct phrase is cope with, not "cope up with". 

• Sentence 5: "You need not give negative feedback to your employees." → Correct. Need not + verb is grammatically correct usage. 

• Sentence 6: "My friend is good at playing football." → Correct. After "good at", the verb takes the -ing form. 

Hence, the grammatically correct sentences are: 1, 5, 6.
