 SOLUTIONS:

S1. Ans.(c)

Sol. Use public opinion in place of ‘public’s
opinion’ as public/hostel/city are used both as noun and as adjective and the
use of ‘s with it is incorrect.

S2. Ans. (d)

Sol. 
Here ‘work’ is used as an uncountable noun. The use of ‘an’ before
‘urgent’ is incorrect. Use ‘some’ in place of ‘an’ or we can use it like this
“a piece of urgent work”

S3. Ans.(d)

Sol. The error is in part (d) of the sentence.
Use ‘is’ in place of ‘are’ as the subject of the sentence is ‘the idea’ which
is singular.

S4. Ans.(a)

Sol.  The error is in
part (a) of the sentence. Use ‘it appears’ in place of ‘It is appearing’ as
when ‘appear’ is used to mean ‘seem’ then it is used in simple tense and not in
continuous tense.

S5. Ans,.(b)

Sol. The error is in part (b) of the sentence. Use ‘many’
in place of ‘much’ because ‘much’ is a quantitative adjective after which
uncountable noun is used.

S6. Ans.(b)

Sol.  Remove ‘to’
after but as after any form of ‘do’ if but is used to mean ‘except’ and if a
verb is used after it then the verb is used without ‘to’.

S7. Ans.(b)

Sol. ‘Enough’ will be used after ‘kind’ as when enough is
used as adverb of quantity then enough is always used after the adjective or
adverb.

S8. Ans.(b)

Sol. ‘Whether’ will be used after ‘if’ which can be figured
out by the use of ‘or’ that construction is based on ‘whether…….or’.

S9. Ans.(e)

Sol. There is no error in the given statement.

S10. Ans.(e)

Sol. There is no error in the given statement

S11. Ans.(c)

Sol. Option (c) is the correct choice for the given
question as the correct sequence is BACD. Statement (E) is incorrect and
inconsistent if we are considering the theme of the statements. BACD is correct
and is meaningful.

S12. Ans.(d)

Sol. Option (d) CABD is a correct choice as it is making a
meaningful sentence. Comprehension means understanding so the statement is
discussing that the refusal of the central government (which is what) to
appreciate the legal point is difficult to understand. CABD forms a coherent
meaningful sentence. 

S13. Ans.(b)

S14. Ans.(b)

Sol. Option (b) is the correct choice for the given
question. Part (E) is incorrect as mandate means an official order or
commission to do something while the sentence as the whole is discussing the
feature of globalization which led to the trade deficit.

S15. Ans.(d)
