Solutions
S1. Ans. (c)
Sol. ‘Forbade’ means ‘not allow’, therefore, use of ‘not’ is wrong here. Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice.
S2. Ans. (b)
Sol. Here, the error lies in Part (B). ‘from getting’ will be used instead of ‘to get’. Because ‘from + Verb+ing’ is used with ‘debar/ abstain/ refrain’. Hence, option (b) is the right answer choice
S3. Ans. (a)
Sol. Here, error lies in part (A). ‘that’ is not used before reporting speech in direct narration. Hence, option (a) is the right answer choice.
S4. Ans. (b)
Sol. Here, the error lies in part (B). ‘had been detained’ will be used instead of ‘was to detain’. Hence, option (b) is the right answer choice.
S5. Ans. (b)
Sol. Here, the error lies in part (B). ‘to’ will be used instead of ‘by’. Remember, there are certain verbs that show ‘state of mind’ or ‘state of feeling’ and not any action. After such verbs in passive voice, appropriate prepositions are used and not ‘by’. Hence, option (b) is the right answer choice.
S6. Ans. (b)
Sol. Here, the error lies in part (B). ‘was’ will not be used. There is a synthesis of two sentences in active voice till ‘hoped’. In other words, the format of the two sentences is,

The US hoped that Kim……….
Means the US opened channels of……….and hoped………
Hence, option (b) is the right answer choice.
S7. Ans. (a)
Sol. Here, the error lies in part (A). ‘than’ will be used instead of ‘was’ because ‘than’ is used after ‘no sooner’. Hence, option (a) is the right answer choice.
