Answers :
Directions (1-5) :
1) Answer: (a)
Part A has an error. “Its” is the possessive form of the pronoun ‘it’. “It’s” is a contraction, standing for “it is” or “it has”.
2) Answer: (c)
Part C contains the erroneous part. For referring to a singular person- Indrapramit Roy, use ‘captures’ instead of ‘capture’.
3) Answer: (e)
The statement is grammatically and contextually correct. So no error is there.
4) Answer: (d)
Part D has an error. The correct form of preposition to be used here should be ‘to’ instead of ‘at’.
5) Answer: (e)
The statement is grammatically and contextually correct. So no error is there.
Directions(6-10) :

The first word means ‘repository’, here it means a repository of tales with respect to the context of the sentence. Darting means sprinting. Therefore, option A is the correct choice.
7) Answer: (e)
The sentence is grammatically and contextually correct. Hence, no improvement is required.
8) Answer: (a)
Both ‘Reconcile’ and ‘resolve’ are suitable as the first word. But ‘formed’ does not make any sense for the second word. Therefore, option A is the correct choice.
9) Answer: (e)
The sentence is grammatically and contextually correct. Hence, no improvement is required.
10) Answer: (b)
Both ‘consequences’ and ‘repercussions’ are suitable as the 2nd word but ‘Backstab’ for the 1st word does not represent the correct form of verb. Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
