   •  Made in response to
   •  Should be made in response to
   •  Made in response for
   •  That are made in response for
   •  No correction required
   Ans:1
   The answer is A. It is the best option. The correct sentence will be- “Permanent laws made in response to transient trends present a power that is open to abuse.”
   ‘Made in response’ means a readymade response to a question.

2. 2. Question

   The chef cut and washed and peeled the potatoes into tiny pieces.

   •  Cuts and washes and peels
   •  Cutted and washed and peeled
   •  Cuts and washes and peeled
   •  Cut and washed and peels
   •  No correction required
   Ans:5
   The answer is E. Cut is used as cut in every form of the tense. Therefore when we look at the statement, there is nothing wrong with it.

3. 3. Question

   Farmers are the most efficacious members of society because they grow food for the whole country.

   •  Members of the society as
   •  Member of society because
   •  Members in the society due to
   •  Members of societies as
   •  No correction required
   Ans: 1
   The answer is A. The correct sentence should be -Farmers are the most efficacious members of the society as they grow food for the whole country. Option B is incorrect because of the missing ‘s’ at the end of ‘member’. Option C is wrong because it changes the context of the statement. The same goes for the next option.

4. 4. Question

   The problem of food is intimately connected with the increased at the population.

   •  With the increase in
   •  To the increase in
   •  With the increase over
   •  From the increase at
   •  No correction required
   Ans:1
   The correct answer is A. The error in the original statement is the incorrect usage of the preposition ‘at’; it needs to be replaced by ‘in’ to give the requisite context to the statement. Also, the use of the verb ‘increase’ in the past tense does not make sense here when the sentence conveys a meaning in the present tense.

5. 5. Question

   The last few decades has seen a great deal of political instability in India.

   •  Decade had seen
   •  Decade has seen
   •  Decades have seen
   •  Decade have seen
   •  No correction required
   Ans:3
   We are talking about ‘decades’, which is in the plural in this sentence and therefore, we should use “have” instead of “has”. Hence, choice C is the correct response.

6. 6. Question

   Despite being considerable difficulty, this is one of the most popular exercises.

   •  considerably difficult
   •  considerable difficult
   •  considerable difficulties
   •  considerably and difficulty
   •  No correction required
   Ans:1
   It should be ‘considerably difficult’. Since an adverb qualifies an adjective, Option A will make the sentence correct.

7. 7. Question

   The reality is that India needs a strong, efficient and competitive aviation sector.

   •  what India needs
   •  that India need
   •  therefore India need
   •  which India needs
   •  No correction required
   Ans: 5
   The given sentence is correct as it is. Hence, option E is the correct response.

8. 8. Question

   with no rain and any access to clean water, many farmers will lose their crops.

   •  Without any rain or
   •  Without rain and nor
   •  No raining and no
   •  There is no rain and no
   •  No correction required
   Ans:1
   The correct form of correlative is ‘neither..nor’; hence option B can be eliminated.
   Option C makes the sentence structurally as well as grammatically incorrect.
   Option D makes the sentence grammatically incorrect.
   Any has been used for a negative sense and or for choice.

9. 9. Question

   Quality of performance and other factors are more important than mere higher qualification in case of internal promotion.

   •  Factors on
   •  Factor was
   •  Factors were
   •  Factors will

    •  far-reaching effects really hit the nail upon their head.
    •  far-reaching effects really hit the nail on the head.
    •  far outreach effects really hit the nail on the head.
    •  far-reaching effect really will hit the nail on the head.
    •  No correction required.
    Ans:2
    There is no object for far-reaching in the given sentence. Moreover, the correct phrase is ‘hit the nail on the head’ which means to find exactly the right answer.
    Option A: Incorrect use of phrasal verb
    Option C: ‘outreach’ makes the statement incorrect in the initial phase.
    Option D: The fragment goes in the future tense.
    Thus, option B is the correct response.
