Correct (22): He was an introvert by nature.
Explanation: “An” is used instead of “a” because “introvert” starts with a vowel sound. This makes the sentence grammatically correct and natural.
Correct (23): His heart was bleeding but he did not get angry with anybody.
Explanation: We say “angry with somebody,” not “angry to somebody,” so the preposition is corrected.
Correct (24): His classmates were leaving for Madras.
Explanation: “Leaving for” is the correct phrase when talking about going to a destination. “Living” was both grammatically and meaning-wise incorrect here.
Correct (25): They have shared good years in school and college together.
Explanation: “Together” is used because it means they experienced those years at the same time and in each other’s company, which is more natural than using “along” in this context.
Correct (26): They were excited and talking loudly.
Explanation: “Loudly” is the correct adverb form to describe how they were talking.
