Explanations
Question 1-
Correct Option: D
The error lies in Part C of the given sentence because the tense used here is present perfect tense in which the main verb should be used in its third form or participle form. But in this part, we have used the verb seek and it is the present indefinite form of the verb. It should have been sought to make the sentence grammatically correct.
The correct sentence would have been:
The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has issued an advisory to the West Bengal government and sought a report on the rising political violence in the State.
This makes Option D the correct choice among the given options.
Question 2-
Correct Option: D
The error lies in Part B of the given sentence. Here we are talking about the report to be sent based on the ongoing strike by the doctors. We know that if a verb is to be modified, we should use an adverb to do the same and an adjective is not the suitable one to do this job. Here, we have used urgent and it is certainly not the correct word. It is an adjective and fails to modify the verb send. It should have been urgently in order to make the sentence grammatically correct.
The correct sentence would have been:
It is requested that a detailed report be sent urgently on the representations and ongoing strike by the doctors.
This makes Option D the correct choice among the given options.
Question 3-
Correct Option: A
There is an error in the Part B of the given sentence and the issue lies in the subject verb agreement of the given sentence. Here we are using the plural noun that they enquired about the baby and they were informed about the status of the girl. However in this part we have used the singular verb was. That is why a plural verb should have been used here.
The correct statement would have been:
As they enquired about the girl and were informed that she had been shifted to the hospital, they volunteered to help her.
This makes Option A the correct choice among the given options.
Question 4-
Correct Option: E
The given sentence is grammatically correct as there is no error here in the sentence.
This makes Option E the correct choice among the given options.
Question 5-
Correct Option: C
There is an error in the Part A of the given sentence where the article usage is not proper as per the grammatical norms. Here we have used a before the word elite. It is certainly not correct since it should have been an before a word that starts with a vowel sound.
The correct sentence would have been:
Madrid isn’t getting an elite player in goal involvement terms, but there are two points of encouragement for the club’s fans.
This makes Option C the correct choice among the given options.
