Solutions

The term "winner bidder" is incorrect here. Both the words are nouns and one cannot modify the other. Hence, we require an adjective before "bidder". So "winning" should be used. Also, since the sentence is in the passive form, "invested" should be used instead of "invest". Hence, option B is the correct replacement.

Solutions

Option B is incorrect as it begins with the perfect participle construction ‘having + verb'. A perfect participle is a participle that expresses an action or state as just finished. Since the second action is incomplete, so the use of perfect participle is incorrect. The other options carry a single statement written in different ways. It shows the contradiction and tells us that India has not yet ratified the convention even though it signed it long back. Therefore, the error lies in option B.

E

Verify mobile number to view the solution

Solutions

The error in C is the incorrect use of the degree of comparison ‘older’ and needs to be replaced with ‘oldest’ to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. This is because ‘Japan’s monarchy’ is compared with the other monarchy in the country. So, one is being compared with all and hence superlative degree is used.

Solutions

Age is denoted by 'at'. 'By' is used to show medium of the work done. Here, we are mentioning an attribute, so should use 'of'. 'Been' is missing after 'has'. Thus, option A is wrong.

'Who' is used to refer to a noun which was previously mentioned in another clause, and is followed by the verb. It needs to be removed. 'That' generally refers to just mentioned noun. Here, it seems like it refers to domestic violence, but domestic violence cannot be translated. B is wrong.

'A domestic worker, and survivor of domestic violence' clearly describes the subject Baby Halder. But, they should be mentioned along with the subject itself, not when the focus of the sentence has changed from the author to the book. C is wrong.

Child starts with 'c', so 'a' should be used as the article. Also, we are talking about a particular author here, so we need to use 'the' instead of 'an'. 'Autobiography' lacks an article and needs to be preceded by 'the'. 'For' shows purpose of an act. The correct preposition should be 'into' as the book is being reproduced again in different languages. D is wrong.

Hence, the correct answer is E.
