Answers & Explanations

Explanation: A- ‘fresh confidence’ is a positive word which should carry positive words like spur, motivate other than a negative word like ‘expel’. And ‘expansion’ should be replaced with its verb form ‘expand’. (Usage and grammatical error)
B- According to the context past form of the verb ‘begin’ should be used. (Grammatical error)
C- ‘Warming that results when the atmosphere traps heat radiating from Earth toward space’ cannot be one’s decision. (Meaningfully it is wrong.)

2. Ans: b

Explanation: A- no error in the sentence.
B- The use of ‘has been measured’ is grammatically wrong. It should be ‘have measured’.
C- ‘Plunged into’ is wrongly used here. Because plunge into means an act of thrusting into or submerging. But here according to the context it should use the word like increased. (Usage error).

3. Ans: d

Explanation: A- flood and drought are not superstition. Meaningfully the sentence is not correct.
B and C- there is no error in these sentences.

4. Ans: d

5. Ans: e

8. Ans: d

Explanation: A- ‘released’ should be used instead of ‘expressed’. (Wrong usage)

C- The phrase ‘as soon as’ is irrelevantly used here. It can be replaced by ‘as nearly as’. (Wrong usage)

9. Ans: a

Explanation: A- ‘notes’ are in plural number, so ‘was’ should be replaced by ‘were’. (Grammatical error)
B- Here ‘all of which’ is implying singular thought so ‘remain’ should be replaced by ‘remains’. (Grammatical error)
