    The landlocked country is (1)/ dominated by the rugged Hindu (2)/ Kush Mountains that sweep from (3)/ the west towards the east. (4)

    Solutions

    Exp: In the given sentence, the error lies in fourth part of the given sentence as the use of preposition is incorrect here. We use ‘to’ for indicating directionality and towards for movement in a direction. Here, the direction is ‘east’ (which is not a position). Hence, replace ‘towards’ with ‘to’.

    The preposition ‘to’ is normally used with a verb showing movement and shows the result of the movement-- the place or person that the movement was toward or in the direction of. The preposition ‘toward’ has a similar meaning, but it's not exactly the same: with toward, the direction of the movement is shown, but not the result.

    Solutions

    The error is in the second part of the sentence.

    We use present participle after ‘to be + busy’. Hence, ‘to hoover’ must be replaced by ‘hoovering’ to form a grammatically correct sentence.

    Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

    Judges and juries alike (1)/ were excited (2)/ and listened attentively to the lies which (3)/ poured forth from the lips of profligate informers. (4)

    Solutions
    The error is in the third part of the sentence.

    An adverb of manner (for example: carefully, greedily, attentively, generously etc.) cannot be put between a verb and its direct object. The adverb must be placed either before the verb or at the end of the clause.

    In the given sentence, it is placed after the verb which is erroneous.

    Hence, the third part should be ‘attentively listened to the lies which’ to form a grammatically correct sentence.

    Hence, option C is the correct answer.

    Having talking (1)/ to himself, (2)/ he walked (3)/ down the road. (4)
    Solutions

    The error is in the first part of the sentence.

    The phrase ‘having talking’ is incorrect. Also, when two tasks are done simultaneously by the same subject or one task is immediately after the second task, the present participle is used for the first work.

    It should, therefore, be re-written as ‘Talking’ to himself, he walked down the road’.

    Hence, option A is the correct answer.

    Environmentalists, some people insist, (1)/ are too much well-educated (2)/ and well-brought-up to fall (3)/ into any low-class atavisms. (4)
    Solutions
    The error is in the second part of the sentence.

    ‘Much too' is always followed by an 'adjective' whereas 'too much' is followed by 'noun'.

    Here, ‘well-educated’ is an adjective. In the given sentence, ‘too much’ is not followed by a noun which is erroneous.

    Therefore, ‘too much’ must be replaced with ‘much too’ to form a grammatically correct sentence.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.

    Solutions

    The error lies in third part of the given sentence as the use of preposition is incorrect here. ‘Part from’ means to go away from someone and ‘Part with’ means to separate from something.

    He considering (1)/ the case (2), he returned a (3)/ verdict of guilty. (4)
    Solutions

    The error is in the first part of the sentence.

    Some participles such as ‘considering’, ‘judging’, ‘referring’, ‘concerning’, ‘regarding’, ‘viewing’, ‘broadly speaking’, etc., do not have any reference of subject.

    Solutions

    The error is of inappropriate conjunction usage in the fourth part of the sentence. ‘Although’ is used to introduce a subordinate clause whereas ‘but’ introduces independent clause. Here an independent clause (the discovery went unnoticed) has been introduced, so we need the conjunction ‘but’.

    ‘Much’ is mostly used before a comparative degree while ‘very’ is usually used before a positive degree or a superlative degree.

    Therefore, ‘very’ must be replaced with ‘much’ to form a grammatically correct sentence.
