Answers :
1) Answer: A
As per the context of the sentence it appears that it infers us to understand that someone is asking for toothbrush; thus, to be handed over is both contextually and grammatically correct phrase.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
2) Answer: A
Since the sentence tries to speak about ‘home’ symbolizing a place, it is certain to use ‘where’ and ‘is’ as the correct pronoun and preposition.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
3) Answer: A
As per the voice, tense and context of the sentence, which speaks about third person, it is correct to use ‘take’ as verb and ‘up’ as preposition, for the phrase.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
4) Answer: A
Supreme Court being a singular noun, ‘finds’ is the correct verb to use in accordance to the tense and context of the sentence. Use of preposition ‘for’ after ‘suggest’, is incorrect to the context.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
5) Answer: A
In accordance to the tense, voice and context of the sentence, the use of article ‘a’ is incorrect after the word ‘as’. It is also incorrect to use preposition ‘in’ in the same place or pronouns like ‘their’ or ‘there’. The correct article to be used is ‘the’.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
6) Answer: D
Here in the sentence, fostering means to help or encourage the development of something. But the inefficient word is making negative sense so here fostering is incorrect it will be replaced by prodding: to push something or someone. In the sentence it is described as the public interest litigation era Supreme Court has been praised for prodding or pushing the insufficient government into action. So here prodding will replace fostering.
7) Answer: E
The phrase is grammatically and contextually correct. So no improvement required.
8) Answer: D
In the sentence the phrase or among a country and a trading bloc to is incorrect because we use between to refer to 2 things which are clearly separated and we use among to talk about things which are not clearly separated because they are part of a group or crowd or mass of objects. Here we are talking about only a country and a trading bloc so between will replace among.
9) Answer: C
Convulsed:Â to cause to shake violently with sudden uncontrolled movements. To shake or agitate violently. Here the sentence conveys that a crucial aspect of this difference is defined by the physicality of human beings not by the violent agitation. So here define will replace convulsed.
10) Answer: B
Will is a modal and as per the structure modal verb + v1 so here will continue to attract will be the correct structure for the sentence.
