    More than 60% of India’s population live under the poverty line.

    Solutions
    The underlined segment must be replaced with option D because under is used when one object is directly below another object, with or without touching one another, E.g: I feel hot even when I sit under the fan. Below is used when one object is at a lower height from the other object, but not necessarily directly on top of one another. Hence, option D is the correct answer.

    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect. For noun 'household', an adjective is needed i.e. 'impecunious". It should be "an impecunious household". As the first part of the sentence is in the past tense, the second part should be in the past tense too i.e. "she knew". Thus "impecunious household, she knew" is the most suited one.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.

    The confusion between all religions involve the two seemingly similar, but utterly contrary, concepts of limits and boundaries.

    Solutions

    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect.

    • The given sentence talks about 'all religions'; thus, "among" should be used in place of 'between'.

      Among - is used when talking about people or things that are not distinct and are viewed as a group
      e.g. There wasn’t much unity among the council members.

      Between - We use between to refer to two things which are clearly separated.

      e.g. Our holiday house is between the mountains and the sea.

    • According to the subject-verb agreement, the verb should agree with the subject in number, i.e. a singular subject will take a singular verb and a plural subject will take a plural verb. 

      e.g. He is playing in the garden. 

      e.g. They are playing in the garden.  

    • As the subject is 'confusion' (which is singular), a singular verb ("involves") should be used.

    • Thus, replace the underlined part with the one given in option B.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.

    If things do not turn out to be a way we has imagined, we blame God and his Lila for our misery.
    Solutions

    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect.

    • The definite article "the" should be used in place of "a" in the underlined part as the way is particular; he wanted things in that way only.

      The definite article is the word "the." It is used before a noun to define it as something specific (e.g., something previously mentioned or known, something unique, or something being identified by the speaker).

      Thus, replace 'a' with 'the' in the given sentence.

    • After the plural subject "we", we use either a plural auxiliary (in present perfect tense) "have" or "had" (in past perfect tense). 

      Present perfect tense - An action that started in the past and continues to the present; our reference point is the present.

      Past perfect tense - An action that happened before a time in the past; our reference point is the past.

      The sentence is of the present perfect tense. 

    • Thus, replace the underlined part with the one given in option A.  

    Hence, option A is the correct answer.

  • Question 10/10

    Solutions

    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect. The subject of the given sentence i.e. "the tobacco industry" which is singular thus, singular auxiliary verb should be used i.e. "has".  An adverb is generally used to modify a verb. So, the adverb "deliberately" will be used to modify the verb 'employed'. Thus, the best suited is “has deliberately employed strategic”.

    Hence, option D is the correct answer.
