Out of the four other parts, choose the part of the sentence which contains grammatical or contextual error in it. If the given sentence is both grammatically correct and contextually meaningful, choose option (e) i.e., “No error” as your answer.

(b)has been met with some criticism

(c)particularly over a leaked memo to officials telling them

(d)to stay in from events that commemorate the 60th anniversary

(e)No error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. d

Exp. There is an error in the part (D) of the sentence, the phrasal verb “stay in” should be replaced by another phrasal verb “stay away” to make the sentence contextually correct. The phrase “stay in” means to stay in your home, which doesn’t tally the meaning of the sentence contextually. The phrase “stay away from something/somebody” means to not go near or become involved with someone; to avoid something that will have a bad effect on you. Other parts are both grammatically and contextually correct. Hence option (d) is the correct choice.

(b)is at $0.05/kWh, whereas

(c)commercial solar energy can go

(d)as low as $0.029/kWh, a significantly

(e)No error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. d

Exp. There is an error in the part (D) of the sentence, the adverb “significantly” should be replaced by an adjective “significant” to make the sentence grammatically correct. It is to be noted that the adjective “significant”, which means sufficiently great or important to be worthy of attention; noteworthy, signifies the noun “difference” given in the last part. Other parts of the sentence are both grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Hence option (d) is the correct choice.

(a)As China is the world’s leading

(c)Only (III), (IV) and (V)

(d)Both (II) and (IV)

(e)No error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b

Exp. There is an error in the third part of the sentence. The preposition “with” should be replaced by “between” to make the sentence grammatically correct. It is to be noted that the sentence is talking about the relationship between Nepal and India; not the relationship of another country with these nations [there is no mention of third country in the sentence]. The other parts of the sentence are grammatically correct. Hence option (b) is the correct choice.

(c)electricity generation to compare various

(d)electricity generation options, but limits

(e)No error

Answer & Explanation

Exp. There is an error in the part (D) of the sentence, the singular verb “limits” should be replaced by its plural “limit” to make the sentence grammatically correct. It is to be noted that the subject of the verb “limit” is in plural, as mentioned in the part (A) [Energy economists]. Other parts of the sentence are both grammatically and contextually correct. Hence option (d) is the correct choice.
