Solutions:

‘savoury’ instead of a ‘favoury’. Thus, ‘savoury’ will come here.
S3. Ans.(e)
Sol. No
Correction Required
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. originate-
is the appropriate answer because here we are talking about the origin of the
delicacy ‘Samosa’.

‘roots’ should come here.

this… ‘to be held in Leicester on April 22 where over 30 of the city’s
‘shortlisted’ restaurants will ……….’
