(d) One of the key issues that occupy voter imagination with regard to the coming elections is the tension between identity and governance in Indian democracy.

(e) None of these.

Answer & Explanation
Ans. d

Exp. In statement (a), the verb ‘occupies’ does not agree with the plural subject ‘issues’. The reference, here is to one of the many issues. In statement (b), the word ‘issue’ should be in the plural. Further, the word ‘regards’ should not be in the plural. In statements (b) and (c), ‘with regards to’ is the incorrect expression. Only statement (d) is grammatically correct.

 

  1. (a) Climate science as well as good climate politics demand that India shifts to making clear to the world it’s commitment, in concrete terms, both to securing its developmental future and preserving the global environment.

(b) Climate science as well as good climate politics demand that India shifts to making clear to the world its commitment, in concrete terms, both to securing its developmental future as well as preserving the global environment.

(c) Climate science as well as good climate politics demands that India shifts to making clear to the world its commitment, in concrete terms, both to securing its developmental future and also preserving the global environment.

(d) Climate science as well as good climate politics demand that India shifts to making clean to the world it’s commitment, in concrete terms, both to securing its developmental future as well as to preserve the global environment.

(e) None of these.

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b

Exp. In statements (a) and (d) the expression ‘it’s’ is incorrect. ‘it’s’, meaning ‘it is’, does not make sense here. It should be replaced by the pronoun ‘its’ (referring to India). In statement (c) the use of the verb ‘demands’ is incorrect. Since the reference, here, is to two subjects -‘climate science’ and ‘climate politics’ – the plural verb ‘demand’ is appropriate. Therefore, the correction is ‘climate science, as, well as good climate politics demand that —–. In statement (d) there is an error of parallelism. Here the expression ‘to preserve’, should have the verb + ing form — ‘to preserving’, in keeping with expression ‘to securing’. Only statement (b) is correct.

 

  1. (a) The government of India and Reserve Bank of India envisage a productive role for banks in India subject to their following certain prescribed norms.

(b) The government of India and the Reserve Bank of India envisages a productive role for banks in India subjected to their following certain prescribed norms.

(c) Government of India and the Reserve Bank of India envisage a productive role for banks in India subjected to their following certain prescribed norms.

(d) The government of India, and the Reserve Bank of India envisage a productive role for banks in India subject to their following certain prescribed norms.

(e) None of these.

Answer & Explanation
Ans. d

Exp. In statement (a), the definite article should precede ‘Reserve Bank of India’ because the names of well known institutions, government buildings etc should be preceded by the definite article. In statement (b), the verb ‘envisages’ does not agree with the (plural subject government of India and Reserve Bank of India). The plural verb ‘envisage’ is appropriate here. Further, in statements (b) and (c) the expression ‘subjected to’ (to make somebody or something experience, suffer or be affected by something) is incorrect. The correct expression is ‘subject to’ meaning, depending on something in order to be completed or agreed. Furthermore, in statement (c) ‘Government of India’ should be preceded by the definite article. Only option (d) is grammatically consistent.

 

  1. (a) The media play a major role in not only creating awareness about the risk factors involved in diabetes but in making policy makers and others focus on various avenues leading to a better living environment.

(b) The media play a major role not only in creating awareness about the risk factors involved in the diabetes but also in making policy makers and others focus on various avenues leading be a better living environment.

(c) The media plays a major role not only in creating awareness about the risk factors involved in the diabetes but also in making policy makers and others focus on various avenues leading to a better living environment.

(d) The media plays a major role not only in creating awareness about the risk factors involved in the diabetes but also in making policy makers and others focus on various avenues leading to the better living environment.

(e) None of these.

Answer & Explanation
Ans. c

Exp. The media is taken as a single entity, hence the plural verb ‘play’ does not agree with it, in options (a) and (b), The correction is ‘The media plays ———’. Further, not only ——but also is the correct correlative conjunction to be used in statement (a). In statements, (b) and (d) the word ‘diabetes’ does not take the definite article. Further, the use of the definite article before ‘better living environment’ is incorrect. It should be replaced by the indefinite article ‘a’. Hence except statement (c) all the other statements are grammatically incorrect.

 

  1. (a) If one is to try to build a case for human dignity based on human specificity, the capability of engaging in politics will certainly constitute an important component of human uniqueness.

(d) Trying to build a case for human dignity based on human specificity, the capability of engaging in politics will certainly constitute an important component of human uniqueness.

(e) None of these.

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b
