Sol.
ABDE-…‘to do an honest day’s work is beautifully captured’….is the
correct formation of sentence.
S2.
Ans.(b)
Sol.
ABCE-….‘of students, CBSE has decided not’….as CBSE is an
organisation which is a singular subject. Thus, singular form of verb will come
here.
S3.
Ans.(a)
Sol.
ABDE-….‘installation of computers and’….’installation’ is a noun
whereas ‘installing’ is a verb. Thus, according to the structure of the
sentence ‘installation’ is the correct usage here.

Sol.
ACDE- ‘Over 50 families evacuated’…‘evacuation’ is a noun and ‘evacuated’
is a verb. Hence, the structure of the sentence will take verb with it instead
of noun.

ABCD- ….‘ended at midnight on Monday’…As the sentence is in simple
past tense, hence the further part of the sentence will also be in simple past
tense rather than past perfect tense.

tense. Therefore, ‘will not’ will be replaced by the ‘did not’
