Solutions

S1. Ans. (e)
Sol. Here, the sentence is grammatically and contextually correct. There is no correction required. Hence our correct option is option (e).

S2. Ans. (d)
Sol. The error lies in part (d). ‘Grow’ will be replaced by ‘Growing’. The structure of the sentence in present continuous tense is ‘Sub + is/am/are + Ving+ Object’. Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S3. Ans. (c)
Sol. The error lies in part (C) of the sentence. ‘Is’ will be replaced by ‘are’ because in a sentence starting with ‘If the subject joined by expressions like along-with, with, in addition to’, the verb that follows agrees with the first subject. Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice.
