Solutions:

S1. Ans. (d)
Sol. Here, the error lies in part D of the sentence. The sentence states that prevalence of polypharmacy is higher in people with latest history of depression as compared ‘to people’ without such a history. We are referring to persons when comparing so ‘with those’ will be used instead of ‘with that’. Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S2. Ans. (e)
Sol. The sentence is correct and there is no error in any of its parts. Hence, option (e) is the right answer choice.

S3. Ans. (d)
Sol. The sentence is in present tense and third form of verb is used with has/have. Thus, ‘taken’ will be used instead of ‘taking’. Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S4. Ans. (d)
Sol. Comparison is done is similarity. People will be compared with people not other nations. Correct phrase should be ‘people of other nations.’ Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S5. Ans. (c)
Sol. The error is in 3rd part of the sentence. Be all for something or someone means: In full favor or support of someone or something.
The correct phrase should be “seems all for the”. Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice.

S6. Ans. (d)
Sol. The error is in D part of the sentence. ‘On their working environment’ will be correct to refer ‘companies’. Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S7. Ans. (e)
Sol. The sentence is correct and there is no error in any of its parts. Hence, option (e) is the right answer choice.

S8. Ans. (d)
Sol. ‘believes’ will be replaced with ‘believe’ as ‘ones’ is plural and so will be the verb. Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S9. Ans. (b)
Sol. Connector ‘that’ will be used instead of ‘because’ in B part of the sentence, as “reason” and “because” are giving the same meaning, hence create a superfluous error. Hence, option (b) is the right answer choice.

S10. Ans. (d)
Sol. ‘Than’ will be replaced with ‘from’ in D part of the sentence. Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S11. Ans. (d)
Sol. ‘them’ will be used to refer to the ‘laws’ instead of ‘these’ in D fragment of the given sentence. Hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S12. Ans. (b)
Sol. Here, error is in B part of the sentence. It’s a preposition related error. ‘Jealous of’ will be the correct usage instead of ‘jealous for’. Hence, option (b) is the right answer choice.

S13. Ans. (d)
Sol. Here, the error is in part D of the sentence. In indirect speech, we change interrogative sentence into assertive sentence. So, ‘what my name was’ will be the correct phrase instead of ‘what was my name’. hence, option (d) is the right answer choice.

S14. Ans. (c)
Sol. Subject is ‘sister’ which is singular. So, the verb will be in accordance to the subject of the sentence i.e., ‘is going’ will be used instead of ‘are going’. Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice.

S15. Ans. (c)
Sol. Here, the error is in (C) part of the sentence. ‘Who he was’ will be the correct usage instead of ‘who was he’. Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice.

S16. Ans. (c)
Sol. Since, ‘balloons’ is plural, verb used should be ‘are’ instead of ‘is’ in C part of the sentence. Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice.

S17. Ans. (a)
Sol. ‘Ought to’ means what is right and just thing to do. ‘Ought not to have’ will be the correct usage instead of ‘ought not have’ in fragment A of the given sentence. Hence, option (a) is the right answer choice.

S18. Ans. (c)
Sol. The error is in part C of the sentence. The sentence is in past tense. ‘Yet he had his’ will be the correct usage instead of ‘yet he have his’. Hence, option (c) is the right answer choice

S19. Ans. (a)
Sol. ‘Having witnessed’ will be used instead of ‘witnessed’ in the first part of the sentence. Hence, option (a) is the right answer choice.

S20. Ans. (e)
Sol. The sentence is correct and there is no error in any of its fragments. Hence, option (e) is the right answer choice.
