Direction (6-10):
6) Answer: B
Fragment I: Rahul Gandhi was accompanied with Puducherry CM V Narayanasamy.
Here, the preposition ‘with’ must be replaced to make it ‘by’ following ‘accompanied’ to make it correct.
Fragment II is absolutely correct.
Fragment III: Gandhi was accompanied by Puducherry CM V Narayanasamy and All India Congress Committee (AICC) managing for Tamil Nadu. This fragment has an error of parallelism. Here ‘managing’ must be replaced by ‘in-charge’ to make it grammatically correct.
Fragment IV is correct and has no error in it.
Clearly, fragments II and IV are error free.
Therefore, option B is the correct answer choice to this question.
7) Answer: B
Fragment I is absolutely error free.
Fragment II: There is an error of tense here. As the sentence talks about a present event, the verb ‘washed’ has to be in its noun form; ‘wash’.
Fragment III does not have an error.
Fragment IV: Here the phrase ‘It is of the citizens’ must be changed to ‘It is for the citizens’ to make it a grammatically correct sentence.
Clearly, fragments I and III are absolutely error free.
Therefore, option B is the correct answer choice to this question.
8) Answer: C
Fragment I is correct and has no error in it.
Fragment II: There is an error of subject-verb agreement here. The main subject of the sentence ‘will feature an array of activities’ is in plural form and the verb following it has to be in agreement. ‘Your’ must be used here in place of ‘you’ to make it a grammatically correct sentence.
Fragment III is error free.
Fragment IV is error free as well.
Clearly, fragments I, III and IV do not have any error.
Therefore, option C is the correct answer choice to this question.
9) Answer: E
All the fragments are correct and error-free.
Therefore, option E is the correct answer choice to this question.
10) Answer: C
The errors are in part I and part IV.
Reason:
In part I, “working towards constructing” is erroneous. The correct word in place of “constructing” should have been “building”.
In part IV, the word “marking” is erroneous. The correct word in place of “marking” should have been “branding”. [“branding” and “marking” are both nouns.]
The rest of the parts are correct.
Therefore, option C is the correct answer choice to this question.
