(a) The World Health Organisation estimates that deficiency of key
micronutrients such as iron, vitamin A and iodine together affects a third of
the world’s population; in general, insufficient consumption of vitamins and
minerals remains problematic.
(b) It is imperative, for a start, to make iron-fortified food widely
available, since iron deficiency contributes to 20% of maternal deaths and is
associated with nearly half of all maternal deaths.
(c) Since a diversified diet that meets all nutritional requirements is
difficult to provide, fortification of food is relied upon by many countries to
prevent malnutrition.
(d) The efficacy of the fortification standards introduced by the Food Safety
and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) will depend on enforcement.
(e) Viewed against the nutrition challenge India faces, processed foods with
standards-based fortification can help advance overall health goals, starting
with maternal health.

Solutions

Ans. (c)
Ans. (c)
Sol.
The error lies in parts (I) and (II) of the sentence. It is to be noted that to
make the first part of the sentence grammatically correct, replace “dark blue
long” by “long dark blue”, since while describing a noun with adjective of size
and adjective of colour, then the chronological order of the adjectives should
be size and then colour. In addition to, if more adjectives are used to
describe the noun, then they should follow the following order: adjective of
size, adjective of general description, adjective of age, adjective of shape,
adjective of colour, adjective of general origin, adjective of material and
lastly adjective of purpose. Moreover, part (II) of the sentence is in past
continuous tense, while the activity of repainting the coaches is of future,
therefore, ‘had been’ should be replaced with ‘would’. Hence, option (c) is the
most suitable answer choice.

In the first part of the sentence, the word trot means run at a moderate pace
with short steps, so the preposition ‘to’ should be replaced by ‘at’ because
someone will run “at” a moderate pace not “to” a moderate pace. In the second
sentence, the word ‘fire’ should be replaced by ‘fires’ because if two subjects
are joined using “Either…or”, the verb agrees with its nearest subject, which
in this case is ‘enemy’. The third part of the sentence is grammatically
correct as given in the question, so, it does not need any replacement. Hence
(c) is the correct option.

All the three parts of the sentence contain errors in them. It is to be noted
that the structure of the sentence is conditional. Conditional sentences are
used to express an action [to lend the CD] in the main clause can only takes
place if a certain condition [returning on Monday] is fulfilled. However, the
structure is incorrect. The type 1 conditional is used to refer to the present
or future where the situation is real. The type 1 conditional refers to a
possible condition and its probable result. In these sentences the conditional
clause is in the simple present, and the main clause is in the simple future.
Moreover, in the third part of the sentence “the same” should be replaced by
“it”, as the ‘the same’ is always used as an adjective, which is followed by a
noun. Therefore, replace all the three expressions with the parts (I) (II) and
(III) respectively, the correct grammatical sentence thus formed is “I will
lend you this CD on the condition that you return it on Monday”. Hence, option
(d) is the most viable answer choice.

Ans. (b)
Ans. (b)
Sol.
Only the second part of the sentence contains an error in it. It is to be noted
that ‘enough’ should follow the adverb ‘costly’. Since whenever, ‘enough’ is
used as an adverb of quantity, it is always followed to an associated adjective or an
adverb with it. Hence, option (b) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

S6. Ans. (c)
Sol. The error lies in Part (I) as well as in part
(IV) of the sentence. It is to be noted to make the first part of sentence
grammatically correct, replace “begun” with “began” as the sentence is in the
past tense. This can be understood from the highlighted part (III) […said].
Moreover, the usage of “since” in part (V) of the sentence indicates the
intervening period between (the time mentioned) and the time under
consideration, typically the present. Therefore, it implies that the company
would reopen ports which are still closed from past June, hence “were” should
be replaced with “had been” as “Had been” means something began in the past
[June], lasted for some time, then ended [present]. Hence, option (c) is the
most viable answer choice.

S7. Ans. (a)
Sol. The error lies in part (II) of the sentence.
It is to be noted that the verb “advised” given in the first part of the
sentence will always be followed by “to + V1” structure, rather than “for
+ing”. Therefore, “for cutting” should be replaced by “to cut” in order to make
the sentence grammatically correct. All the other parts of the sentence are in
absolute grammatical syntax. Hence, option (a) is the most viable answer choice

“have come down with the increased” is the correct phrase to make the sentence
grammatically correct as the sentence is in Present Tense. It is to be noticed
that the speed of trucks can’t be decreased as it is clearly mentioned that the
highways have become clutter-free. Also, the phrasal verb “come down” means
collapse or be demolished. Hence (b) is the correct option.

among the given options, only option (a) has the correct grammar structure to
correctly fit into the sentence.
