Explanations

Question 1-

 Correct Option: B

The error lies in the fragment B of the sentence.

Reason: 

‘Not only – but also’ is a correlative conjunction. In fragment B, ‘rather’ should be replaced with ‘also’ in order to make it a grammatically correct sentence.

Correct Sentence: 

It brings with it issues not only of cultural and managerial alterations, but also various financial conflicts, such as internal disputes between the banks that could affect lending as well as recovery.

Option B is hence the correct answer.

Question 2-

Correct Option: B

The error lies in the fragment B of the sentence.

Reason : 

The comparative form of the adjective ‘large’ should be used to describe the conflicts because the accompanying adjective ‘more direct’ is also in comparative form.

Instead of ‘large’, ‘larger’ should be used to make it a grammatically correct sentence.

Correct Sentence : 

Issues could include something as simple as an internal hierarchical muddle to more direct and larger conflicts like priority of charge on securities in cases of common stressed assets, and the different recovery process being followed by each bank.

Option B is hence the correct answer. 

Question 3-

 Correct Option: C

The error lies in the fragment C of the sentence.

Reason: 

The use of preposition ‘from’ in the fragment C is incorrect. Instead of the preposition ‘from’, the preposition ‘to’ should be used to make it a grammatically correct sentence.

Correct Sentence: 

It is necessary that resources be dedicated towards engaging competent teams to oversee and resolve issues arising out of such a transition phase.

Option C is hence the correct answer.


Question 4-

 Correct Option: A

The error lies in the fragment A of the sentence.

The use of preposition ‘in’ in the fragment A is incorrect. Instead of the preposition ‘in’, the preposition ‘of’ should be used to make it a grammatically correct sentence. (Diazepam)

Correct Sentence: 

Global oil demand is muted against the backdrop of economic uncertainty and continuing trade frictions, and there’s been a surge in petroleum output in the US and elsewhere, which should ease oil prices sooner rather than later.

Option A is hence the correct answer.

Question 5-

Correct Option: C

The error lies in the fragment C of the sentence.

Reason: 

The correct phrasal verb of ‘shore’ appropriate for this sentence is ‘shore up’.

Shore up (phrasal verb)

Meaning : to make something stronger by supporting it.

E.g.: After the earthquake we had to shore up ceilings and walls.

Instead of ‘on’, ‘up’ should be used to make it a grammatically correct sentence.

Correct Sentence: 

The way ahead is for the government to fast-forward long pending reform of oil marketing, so as to purposefully shore up investments and revamp market design in oil.

Option C is hence the correct answer.
