    The US emerged (A) everyone to see that growth and development (B) for one country could benefit (C) all countries through increased trade and investment (D).

    Solutions

    The error is in word at A, which means the word ‘emerged’ has been wrongly used here. It should be replaced with ‘urged’, which means to earnestly persuade someone to do something where as the word ‘emerge’ means to move out of or away from something. So, the word ‘urged’ makes the statement grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

    The skin cancer, cataracts, and other dexterous (A) effects will continue, and the people exposed (B) to ultra violet radiation will suffer its consequences (C) even after the ozone layer is healed (D) to a great extent.
    Solutions
    Dexterous means showing or having skill. The sentence is talking about the ill effects of being exposed to ultra violet rays. Hence, the word Dexterous doesn’t fit in the context.

    We need a word that will tell us about the nature of effects of the UV rays. So, we can use words like detrimental or deleterious. Deleterious means something that causes harm or damage.

    Though the document (A) states at several points that no student should be divided (B) of education due to lack of finances (C), the solution it suggests (D) is a meagre scholarship.
    Solutions

    The error is in part B of the sentence. The word ‘divided’ has been wrongly used here. The first part of the sentence is conveying that the document states that students at no point should be deprived of education. The word ‘divided’ has been incorrectly used here. We should use a word which would mean deprived or denied. The word devoid can be a good fit here.

Between A and C, A must come first as it mentions about the establishment of the bipartisan committee and C adds a piece of extra information about the committee. Thus the correct order is DBEAC.
