Solutions

S1. Ans. (e)
Sol. No error.

S2. Ans. (d)
Sol. Use ‘for reducing’ in place of ‘for reduce’ because the verb coming after preposition ‘for’ should always be in fourth form of the verb.

S3. Ans. (d)
Sol. In the original sentence, “its” is used, which refers to a singular noun, but the subject of the sentence is “farmers,” which is a plural noun, so it should be “their needs” to maintain agreement.

S4. Ans. (c)
Sol. In place of ‘on’, ‘against’ or ‘with’ will be used as ‘fight against/with’ is used.

S5. Ans. (b)
Sol. Use ‘by’ before ‘telephone’.
