Solutions:

S1. Ans. (b)
Sol. The correct preposition should be used. Note that it is patience ‘with’ people and not ‘to’ people.

S2. Ans. (d)
Sol. The same friend is both a singer and a scientist. So it should be ‘who is a singer and scientist’.

S3. Ans. (c)
Sol. Incorrect preposition is used. We abstain ‘from’ something.

S4. Ans. (d)
Sol. ‘Have’ must replace ‘has’ as ‘best players’ are referred to.

S5. Ans. (b)
Sol. Changes are ‘levelled’ against a person, not ‘levied’.

S6. Ans. (d)
Sol. Use ‘in’ place of ‘of’ as ‘rich in’ means ‘having much’.

S7. Ans. (e)
Sol. The sentence is grammatically correct.

S8. Ans. (c)
Sol. ‘to’ will not be used as ‘Subject + make + object + V1’ is used.
Ex. I made him laugh. (Active)
He was made to laugh. (Passive)

S9. Ans. (e)
Sol. No error

S10. Ans. (e)
Sol. The sentence is grammatically correct.

S11. Ans. (a)
Sol. The error is in part (b) of the sentence.
‘flowed’ will be used in place of ‘flown’ as the V3 of ‘flow’ is ‘flowed’.

S12. Ans. (b)
Sol. The error is in part (b) of the sentence.
‘was’ will be used in place of ‘is’ as the sentence is in past tense ‘said’.

S13. Ans. (e)
Sol. The error is in part (d) of the sentence. Therefore none of these is the correct choice. Use ‘with’ in place of ‘through’ as ‘with’ is used before ‘instrument/ tool’.
Ex. A snake was killed by him.
The paper was cut with scissors.

S14. Ans. (b)
Sol. The error is in part (b) of the sentence.
‘are’ will be used in place of ‘am’ because when two pronouns is connected with ‘and’ then plural verb is used.
Ex. You and I are working for him.
He and she are husband and wife.

S15. Ans. (b)
Sol. The error is in part (b) of the sentence.
Preposition ‘to’ is used after ‘objected’ as when ‘object’ is used in the form of ‘verb’ to express the meaning as ‘to protest/ mind/ demur’, then preposition ‘to’ is used after that.
