Solutions:

S1. Ans.(c)

Sol. ADBEC; D

S2. Ans.(a)

Sol. E

S3. Ans.(b)

Sol. C

S4. Ans.(b)

Sol. A

S5. Ans.(a)

Sol. B

S6. Ans. (b)

Sol. ‘were’ would be used instead of ‘was’ in the part (B) because the subject of the verb phrase ‘was seen’ is ‘Five kilometres’ which is a plural noun. So, there is an error in the part (B) and option (b) is the correct answer.

S7. Ans. (b)

Sol. Instead of ‘lived’, ‘has lived’ or ‘has been living’ would be used because the tense of the sentence is present tense which is evident from the phrases ‘is sitting’ present in the part (A) and ‘has never created’ in the part (C).

So, there is an error in the part (B) of the sentence, and option (b) is the correct answer.

S8. Ans. (a)

Sol. Instead of ‘Suresh will find’ in the part (A), ‘Suresh finds’ would be used because when in future, two events are mentioned, then simple present tense is used in the conditional clause or subordinate clause (the ones which start with when, if, before, after, until etc.), and the future tense is used in the principal clause.

So, there is an error in the part (A) of the sentence. Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

S9. Ans. (c)

Sol. A present tense is used to convey ‘present habit’. So, instead of ‘she is getting up’ in the part (C), ‘she gets up’ would be used. Hence, there is an error in the part (C) of the sentence and option (c) is the correct answer.

S10. Ans. (c)

Sol. Instead of ‘have’, ‘has’ would be used because the principle subject of the sentence is ‘Seema’ which is a singular noun. When two subjects are connected through ‘as well as, in addition to, like, unlike, accompanied by, with, together with, along with’ etc. Then, the noun or noun-equivalent which appears before such words is the principle noun and the form of the verb would be decided by the principle subject. Hence, there is an error in the part (C), and option (c) is the correct answer.
