Explanations
Question 1-
Correct Option: B
I. Demonstration is given ‘for’ something, thus the correct preposition is ‘for’ instead of to.
Correct sentence: Chief Minister and thousands of people from Andhra will demonstrate for special status for the state.
II is correct.
III is incorrect with respect to use of wrong form of verb ‘seize’. With helping had, third form of verb is used. Thus it should be ‘seized’ instead of ‘seize’.
Correct sentence: The AAP leader pointed out how the Centre had the Anti-Corruption Branch of the Delhi government seized by paramilitary forces.
Hence option B is correct.
Question 2-
Correct Option: C
I. is correct.
II. is incorrect with respect to use of ‘again’. Here against should be used to indicate the comparison between Pakistani Rupee and USD.
Correct sentence: Pakistani rupee had depreciated by 30 percent against the U.S. dollar.
III. is incorrect with respect to use of wrong helping verb ‘were’. The noun used here ‘rating’ is singular, so instead of ‘were’, use of ‘was’ is preferred.
Correct sentence: Pakistan’s credit rating was downgraded by S&P, which cited diminished growth prospects.
Hence option C is correct.
Question 3-
Correct Option: A
I. is correct.
II. is wrong as it uses wrong form of verb.
The sentence is in past tense, so instead of ‘include’, “included” is preferred.
III. is also correct.
Hence option A is correct.
Question 4-
Correct Option: E
All the given statements are absolutely correct.
Hence option E is correct.
Question 5-
Correct Option: C
I. Chabahar port is a singular subject, thus the verb should also be singular i.e. instead of ‘enjoy’, “enjoys” should be the correct helping verb.
Correct sentence: Chabahar port enjoys special strategic status and is the gateway to Afghanistan.
II. is absolutely correct.
III. is grammatically incorrect as wrong quantifier is used here. ‘areas’ is countable, so instead of ‘much’, use of “many” is preferred.
Correct sentence: We need some drivers and incentives in many areas such as biotechnology, IT and so on.
Hence option C is correct.
