Solutions

S1. Ans. (d)
Sol. The error in the sentence is in part (4), where the word “weaken” should be in the present tense to agree with the rest of the sentence. It should be “weakens” to match the verb tense used earlier in the sentence. The corrected sentence ensures grammatical consistency.

S2. Ans. (c)
Sol. The error in the sentence is in part (3). The word “noisiest” is already in the superlative form, so there’s no need to use “most” with it. The correction eliminates the redundancy of using both “most” and the superlative form “noisiest” together.

S3. Ans. (d)
Sol. The error in the sentence is in part (4). The error in the sentence is a comparison error. The comparative form “as successful” is used to make a proper comparison. The original sentence incorrectly used “than” after “successful,” which is not needed in this context. Thus, “than” should be replaced with “as” to make the sentence correct.
The rule of “as + adjective + as” is that it is used to make comparisons between two things that are equal or very similar.

S4. Ans. (e)
Sol. The given sentence is correct and has no error.

S5. Ans. (b)
Sol. The error in the sentence is in part (2). The usage of “high” in the sentence is not correct. It should be “higher” instead of “high” to indicate a comparison between the share reported in certain states and the national average.

S6. Ans. (b)
Sol. The error in the sentence is in part (2). The error in the sentence was a verb tense issue. “To bolster” is the correct infinitive form of the verb to use after “tried.” The verb should be in the base form, not in the past tense form “bolstered.”

S7. Ans. (d)
Sol. The error in the sentence is in part (4). The error in the sentence is the use of “since” instead of “from.” “Since” should be replaced with “from” to correctly indicate the start of the strike, which is “from tomorrow.

S8. Ans. (c)
Sol. The error is in part (3), where “rate for unemployment” should be corrected to “rate of unemployment” to properly convey the idea.

S9. Ans. (a)
Sol. The error is in part (1). The error in the sentence is a subject-verb agreement issue. “The Reserve Bank of India” is a singular entity, so it should be followed by the singular verb “is” instead of “are,” which is plural.

 S10. Ans. (d)
Sol. The error is in part (4), where “among with” should be corrected to “along with” to express the idea of teaching both moral and social values and academic skills together.
