Explanations
Question1-
Correct Option:
B
In part B, the relative pronoun ‘who’ must be replaced with ‘which’ as ‘law’ is not a living being.
The correction formation will be- ‘The government has introduced a new law which forces farmers to sell their produce only to licensed dealers.’
Hence, option B is correct.
Question 2-
Correct Option: D
In part D, the word ‘challenge’ must be in plural form as the adjective ‘various’ before it, refers to ‘of different kinds’.
Hence, option D is correct.
Question 3-
Correct Option: C
In part C, ‘sells’ must be replaced with ‘selling’ to make it a grammatically correct sentence.
Hence, option C is correct.
Question 4-
Correct Option: D
Under the context, bank is a singular non-living entity for which the pronoun ‘its’ must be used in possessive case instead of ‘their’ in part D.
So the correct formation will be- ‘The only option for the bank is to modernize its operations at all its branches.’
Hence, option D is correct.
Question 5-
Correct Option: A
In part A, there are two negatives- ‘lack’ and ‘no funds’ which cannot go together. The correct formation will be – ‘The lack of funds has resulted in several delays in launching our new product in India.
Hence, option A is correct.
