    He confess (1)/ that he had made (2)/ a lot of mistakes (3)/ in the course of his life. (4)/ No error. (5)

    Solutions

    Since the given sentence states a confession that relates to the past (had made), the verb 'confess' should be replaced with 'confessed' to make the sentence grammatically correct. Thus, option A is the correct answer.

    Uncontrolled high blood pressure (1)/ is often the (2)/ precursor to (3)/ heart disease or stroke. (4)/ No error. (5)

    Solutions

    One might get tempted to choose B as the response as it is visible that 'the' in the second part can be replaced with 'a' as there are multiple precursors to heart disease and high blood pressure is just one of them. While the reason is logically sound, it should not be picked because there is no grammatical or logical error with 'the' either. Without a given context, it is not appropriate to pick 'a' over 'the'. So, there is no error in this particular question. Thus, option E is correct.

    Everyone wandered aimlessly (1)/ down on the street wondering (2)/ what would become of the space ships (3)/ that occupied the otherwise clear blue sky. (4)/ No error (5)

    Solutions

    Remove ‘on’. ' down the street' is correct in itself and doesn't require any preposition as it means it is somewhere along the street, towards the direction you are facing. Hence, option B is the correct response.

    This World Tourism Day, (1)/ people would get to explore (2)/ the cultural and historical side (3)/ of Delhi while on the go. (4)/ No error (5)

    Solutions

    The given sentence talks about something that will take place in the future. Therefore, the usage of the 'would' is incorrect and 'will' should be used instead.

    "Would" is used in the following cases:

    i. Would is the past tense of will in indirect speech.

    ii. Would expresses ideas such as willingness or determination.

    iii. Would can be used to talk about a habitual or customary action in the past.

    All companies must (1)/ send its annual report to (2)/ its shareholders twenty-one days (3)/ before the Annual General Body Meeting. (4)/ No error (5)

    Solutions

    The second and third part of the statement make it clear that the subject is to be singular, as 'its' is used as a pronoun.  Therefore, 'all companies' in the first part needs to be replaced with 'every company'.

    Bank notes have (1)/ many special features so 2)/ that bank staff can (3)/ easier identify fake notes. (4)

    Any failure (1) / to compliance (2) / with the fundamental regulation (3) / will result a fine. (4)

    Solutions

    The error is in the second part of the sentence.

    We need to replace 'compliance ' with 'comply'. We need a verb in the base form (comply) to complete the 'to-infinitive' structure. 'Compliance' is noun and hence is incorrect.

    So, the correct answer is option B.

    Police officers have refused on identify the bystander (1)/ who is the only eyewitness to the crime (2)/ but have said that the investigating team would explore (3)/ if he could be a witness in the case. (4)/ No error. (5)

    Solutions

    There is incorrect usage of the preposition 'on' in the first part of the statement; the correct usage would be 'to'. 'On' is generally followed by a noun (object) or pronoun, while 'to' should be used before a verb.
