(b) Moreover, insurance scheme have

(c) Insurance scheme is considering

(d) While the insurance scheme will

(e) No correction required

Answer & Explanation
Ans. d

Exp. The phrase given in bold “The insurance scheme” should be replaced with “While the insurance scheme will” to make the sentence contextually meaningful and grammatically correct. When the subject is in the third person and singular, “s” is either added to the main verb or “es” is added to the helping verb. When “state of being” verbs are used (“to be” verbs), helping verb is omitted.  Therefore, with the given rationale the bold phrase creates a grammatical error in the sentence. All the other expressions given in the options fail to construct a grammatically viable sentence. Hence, option (d) is the correct choice.

Answer & Explanation
Ans. a

Exp. In order to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct replace the bold phrase “to take time of working” with option (a) i.e., “to take time off work”. The phrase “to take time off” expresses a period of time when you do not work because of illness or holidays, or because your employer has given you permission to do something else. The expressions given in the options are either grammatically or contextually incorrect. Hence, option (a) is the correct answer choice.

Ans. c

Exp. Replace the phrase given in bold “to spend by state governments have” with “spending by state governments has” to make the sentence coherent. ‘Spending’ is used here as a noun which means ‘an amount that has been, or is planned to be spent.’ Thus, the verb associated with the singular subject [spending] should be the third person singular present tense of have i.e., ‘has’. All the other given options don’t fit in the correct grammatical syntax of the sentence. Hence, option (c) is the most feasible answer choice.
