Solutions
S1. Ans. (b)
Sol. “No fewer than” will be used instead of “No less than”. “Less” shows ‘quantity’ while “fewer” shows ‘number’. Hence, option (b) is the right answer choice.
S2. Ans. (c)
Sol. In part (C) of the sentence, there is a verb form issue. The word “curating” is in the present participle form, but it should be in the past participle form (curated) to maintain proper tense consistency in the sentence.
S3. Ans. (d)
Sol. The error lies in part D. ‘influenced’ will be replaced by ‘influence’. We use the first form of a verb with ‘to’ as this explains the ‘purpose’ or ‘finality’.
S4. Ans. (a)
Sol. The error lies in part A. The verb “lie” should be in the singular form “lies” to agree with the singular subject “a leopard skin.”
S5. Ans. (e)
Sol. The given sentence is correct both contextually and grammatically. Hence, the option (e) is the right answer choice.
S6. Ans. (d)
Sol. The error lies in part D. ‘Has’ will be replaced by ‘Have’ because ‘judgments’ is plural. According to grammar rules, ‘has’ is used with singular subject and ‘have’ is used with the plural subject.
S7. Ans. (c)
Sol. The error lies in part C. ‘Integrated’ will be replaced by ‘integrate’. Here, with the use of ‘to’ the statement is clarifying the ‘purpose’ of the ‘Delhi Government’ which is ‘to improve’ and ‘to integrate’ all forms of the public transport. That is why, we use the ‘first form of the verb’ with ‘to’ in order to show ‘purpose’, ‘intention’ or ‘finality.
S8. Ans. (c)
Sol. The error lies in part C. ‘Bringing’ will be replaced by ‘bring’. We use the first form of a verb with ‘to’ as this explains the ‘purpose’ or ‘finality’.
S9. Ans. (b)
Sol. The error lies in part B. ‘use’ will be replaced by ‘uses’. Since ‘State domestic product (SDP) is singular, that is why we will use ‘s’ with the verb ‘use’.
S10. Ans. (c)
Sol. The error lies in part C. ‘Allowing’ will be replaced by ‘allowed’. After the replacement the sentence is grammatically and contextually correct.
