Solutions

S1. Ans. (d)

Sol. Here, error lies in part (D) of the sentence. ‘employee’ will be used instead of ‘employees’ to make the sentence grammatically correct and contextually meaningful.

‘Employee’ will be plural because it is followed by ‘all’. Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S2. Ans. (d)

Sol. Here, error lies in part (D) of the given sentence. ‘such’ will be used instead of ‘so’ to make the sentence grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S3. Ans. (c)

Sol. Here, the error lies in part (C). Two negatives – ‘not initiate & no initiate cannot go together in a single sentence. The correct formation will be – ‘The employees are drawing salaries of 2012 and the management is not willing to not initiate even preliminary talks on wage revision.’

Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice.

S4. Ans. (c)

Sol. Here, the error lies in part (C) of the given sentence. ‘Instead of’ should be used in the place of ‘instead’ to make the sentence grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice.

S5. Ans. (a)

Sol. The error is in part A of the sentence. “Aware off” is the incorrect phrase, and it should be “aware of”. The correct sentence will be,

The agency also seems to be aware of the impact damaged consumer trust can have on personal health apps, and said in the notice that its eye is on the rest of the industry as well.

Hence, option (e) is the right answer choice.

S6. Ans. (c)

Sol. The error is in part (C). The subject verb agreement of this sentence is not correct. With plural noun ‘they’, plural verb “were” should be used instead of “was”. The correct sentence will be,

They visited the site to gather first hand information about the incident and they were informed that the fire was not related to Dzukou fire.

Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice.

S7. Ans. (e)

Sol. There is no error in any part of the given sentence. Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice.

S8. Ans. (b)

Sol. The error is in part B of the sentence. To specify a day of the week, preposition “on” should be used instead of “in” in the given sentence. The correct sentence will be,

A meeting of board of directors of the company is scheduled to be held on Tuesday to consider and approve unaudited financial results of the company.

Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S9. Ans. (d)

Sol. Here the highlighted phrase will be replaced by the one given in option (d). The given phrase in bold is incorrect since it is referring to an amount which is not specified but the humanness in a robot was positive ‘only’ up to that amount only. An article ‘a’ should precede it which is missing in the given statement.

S10. Ans. (e)

Sol. The highlighted phrase is correct and there is no need of any correction. Hence, option (e) is the right answer choice.
