Explanations
Question 1-
Correct Option: A
There is an error in the Part A of the given sentence. We are talking about having confidence and the preposition that should be used in this regard is in. However in this part of the sentence, on has been used. There is no other error in any other part of the given sentence.
The correct sentence would be:
China for its part expressed confidence in Ms. Lam and her government but said it would not sit idly by if the unrest threatened Chinese security and sovereignty.
This makes Option A the correct choice among the given options.
Question 2-
Correct Option: E
There is no error in any part of the given sentence. Therefore no correction is required in any of the parts of the given sentence.
This makes Option E the correct choice among the given options.
Question 3-
Correct Option: B
There is an error in the Part B of the given sentence. Here we are referring to the automobile sector as one of the most important sectors of the economy in terms of employment generation and job creation at the active and passive levels respectively. A lot of people are employed in this sector in the country. However from the given statement it is not implied correctly. There are many large employers in India and automobile sector is one of them. Therefore, it should have been one of the largest employers. There is no error in any other part of the given sentence.
The correct sentence would have been:
The automobile sector is one of the largest employers in the country, employing about 37 million people, directly and indirectly.
This makes Option B the correct choice among the given options.
Question 4-
Correct Option: D
There is an error in the Part D of the given sentence. We are using the singular subject here whereas the corresponding verb has been used in the plural form. We are referring to the phenomenon of registration of students in the schools for the school level examinations and it is a singular thing. The verb representing this subject cannot be in the plural form i.e. have. It should have been in the singular form i.e. has. There is no error in any other part of the given sentence.
The correct sentence would have been:
The attendance of students may be negligible but the registration of students for upcoming Class 10 and Class 12 examination has picked up in all high schools.
This makes Option D the correct choice among the given options.
Question 5-
Correct Option: D
There is an error in the Part D of the given sentence. The main reason is that the usage of the parts of speech is not correct in this part of the sentence. We are stating that the situation in Kashmir is not showing any sign of normalcy though a lot of time has passed after the important event being referred. Therefore we should use the noun form to imply that the signs of normal life are visible around the valley whereas normal is adjective in this case and is not going with the context at all. It should have been normalcy. There is no other error in any part of the sentence.
The correct sentence would be:
The functioning of government offices, business centres and markets remained dismal even if a few indicators showed signs of normalcy.
This makes Option D the correct choice among the given options.
