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. “Their” will be used instead of “His”. Because the antecedent of the relative pronoun ‘who’ is ‘those’ which is in third person and plural number. Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice.
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. (c)
Sol. The error lies in part C. ‘The’ will be replaced by ‘them’ as the sentence is about ‘hundreds of complaints’ and ‘a significant percentage of them required free legal aid’.
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’.
