Directions (1-5) In each of the following questions, a sentence is given with four words given in bold. The word may be misspelt or grammatically or contextually incorrect. You have to choose the incorrect word as your answer. If all the words are correct, mark option (e). i.e. All Correct as your answer. 

Q1. If Maharashtra often appears to be on the cusp of a political realignment, it is in no small part due to the posturing and shadow boxing of the old warhorse, Sharad Pawar of the Nationalist Congress Party.

cusp
realignment
posturing
All Correct
Solution:

Q2. At Agroscope, the ‘Swiss centre of excellence for agricultural research’, in Nyon, Switzerland, agriculture scientists fly a drone to study nitrogen level in leaves, not for a farm as a hole, but for each individual plant.

study
hole
individual
All Correct
Solution:
As per the context of the sentence, 'whole' will be used here and not 'hole. 'Whole refers to all of; entire.
Q3. For a country with a population of over eight million, Switzerland has an enormous number of people interested in flying drones and develop drone-based applications.
population
enormous
interested
develop
All Correct
Solution:
'develop' is used incorrectly here. We will use 'developing' instead as flying is used in the former part of sentence and as per parallelism, developing must be used.
Q4. It is with such a heavy eye on the precautions that the regulations have been drafted, that flying a drone is a task wrapped tightly in imense paperwork.
precautions
drafted
task
imense
All Correct
Solution:
There is a spelling error in this sentence. Correct spelling is immense.
Q5. With so many government authorities involved in allowing permission and making an eye, it is inevitable that operators could be slapped easily with real and perceived violations.
involved
making
inevitable
slapped
All Correct
Solution:
The phrase making an eye is incorrect here. Keeping an eye means to watch someone or something carefully; to be attentive to someone or something. Hence, keeping an eye will be used here.
Direction (6-10): Read each of the following sentences to find out if there is any grammatical error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of this part is your answer. If there is no error in the statement, mark option (e) as your answer.

E
Solution:
Error is in part B of the sentence. 'Have triggered' will be used and not 'have trigger'. We use Present perfect tense to show relation between a present and a recently concluded event and so have will take participle form of verb here.
