(d) None of the given options are correct
(e) no error

Answer & Explanation

Ans.6.(b)
Exp. The sentence can be corrected by replacing phrases (B) and (C) by phrases (II) and (III) respectively. Phrase (B) creates a contextual error in the sentence, since it is describing about the shift of authority to resolve corporate insolvency from the court to the NCLT. Therefore, “to acquire” should be replaced by the idiom “to let go” which means to allow someone or something to escape or go free. Moreover, phrase (C) should be replaced phrase (III) as phrase (C) does not fit in the appropriate grammatical syntax. All the other highlighted phrases are correct. Hence, option (b) is the most suitable answer choice.

Q7. A slow and gradual weakness of the rupees is not particularly worrisome for India, as they are overvalued significantly in real terms and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has sufficient reserves to smoothen volatility in the currency market.

(c) A-I and B-II
(d) None of the given options are correct
(e) no error

Answer & Explanation

Ans.7.(c)
Exp. Phrases (A) and (B) are either grammatically incorrect or contextually meaningless. Phrase (A) means that rupees have some weakness while the appropriate phrase should be phrase (I) which means that there is a devaluation of rupee. Moreover, phrase (II) fits in the appropriate grammatical syntax since the pronoun “it” should represent “rupee” instead of “they”. All the other highlighted phrases are correct. Hence, option (c) is the most suitable answer choice.

Ans.8.(c)
Exp. Phrases (A) and (B) are either grammatically incorrect or contextually meaningless. Therefore, they should be replaced by the phrases (I) and (II) respectively. It is to be noted that the sentence is beginning with “some of…” which implies that the noun associated with it [structural reforms] should be in its plural form. Moreover, phrase (B) creates a contextual error, hence it should be replaced by phrase (II). All the other highlighted phrases are correct. Hence, option (c) is the most viable answer choice.

Answer & Explanation

Ans.10.(d)
Exp. Phrase (D) contains a grammatical error as “and” should be replaced by “or” to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. The hint for the same can be drawn from the latter part of the sentence stating, “whichever is higher”. This indicates a choice between the two objects. Thus, “or the actual cost of acquisition” is the suitable phrase to fit in the sentence. Since, all the other phrases are grammatically correct, option (d) becomes the most viable answer choice.
