    Tyaga is renunciate of undesirable thought and actions, which obstruct our higher evolution.

    Solutions

    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect. Renunciation is a noun which means the act of renouncing something (rejecting, disowning, or disclaiming as invalid). There is no single thought that comes across one’s mind which is undesirable. Many thoughts came across our minds some of which are undesirable. Also, the noun (actions) after "and" is plural. Therefore, we will use "thoughts" in place of "thought".

    Hence, option C is the correct answer.

    You must go to the book fair if you are liking it or not.

    Solutions

     The underlined part is grammatically incorrect. We cannot use continuous with verbs whose meanings are already continuous (e.g.: like, love, know, etc.), it would make the sentence superfluous. So, replace ‘if you are liking it’ with ‘whether you like it’. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

    Aware that great violence and injustice have been done to our environment and society, we are commit not to live with a vocations this is harmful to humans and nature.

    Solutions

    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect. After auxiliary verb ‘are’, an adjective is needed. ‘Committed’ is an adjective, so, it should be used in place of verb ‘commit’. Also, either it should be vocations or a vocation. Only first option is appropriate i.e. ‘a vocation’ has been used in it. And, here, ‘that’ will be used as ‘that’ is used to point out something. Thus, “committed not to live with a vocation that” is the most suited.

    Hence, option A is the correct answer.

    Both of our excited parent delights as the fact this a new baby will be born soon.
    Solutions

    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect. With ‘both’ (denoting more than one), we use plural noun i.e. ‘parents’. With plural noun, plural verb should be used i.e. ‘delight’. And with verb ‘delight’, we generally use preposition ‘in’. Conjunction ‘that’ should be used in place to ‘this’, which is used to introduces a subordinate clause. Thus, the most suited one is “parents delight in the fact that”.

    Hence, option A is the correct answer.

    Financial worries and job loss are making many peoples lose there balance and emotional well-being.

    Solutions

    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect. ‘People’ is a plural noun, so, it doesn’t require ‘s’ after it to make it plural. Thus, it should be ‘people’. ‘There’ is used to focus attention on something which is not the case here. We need ‘their’ which is used when something is belonging to or associated with the people or things previously mentioned or easily identified. Thus, “many people lose their balance” is the most suited.

    Hence, option D is the correct answer.

    Your ability to function well in the world are largely determined to how balanced you are within yourself.

    Solutions

    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect. The subject of the given sentence is ‘ability’ which is singular so, we need a singular auxiliary verb after it. Thus, ‘is’ should be used in place of ‘are’. And we need preposition ‘by’ in place of preposition ‘to’. ‘By’ means with aid of; through the act or agency of. As, one’s ability will be determined by something. Thus, “is largely determined by” is the most suited.

    Hence, option A is the correct answer.

    Amit has the good command on English as he was born and brought up in England.

    Solutions

    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect. The verb “command” doesn’t take “on” after it. The two prepositions that can come after command are – “of” and “over”. But the option C uses “better” before command which makes it erroneous. Hence, option A is our correct answer.

    No soon the Chief Minister step in than the bomb exploded.

    Solutions

     “No soon the Chief Minister” will be replaced with “no sooner did the Chief Minister as “no sooner” is the correct adverb and the sentence is in past tense , thus “did” will be used as we use inversion after the “no sooner”.

    Hence option C is the correct answer.
