    Non-communicable (1)/ diseases (2)/ are a major (3)/ concerned for people in this region. (4)
    Solutions
    The error is in the fourth part of the sentence. "Concerned" is an adjective/past participle, but we require a noun here which is aptly modified by the adjective 'major'. The correct noun form is 'concern'.
    So, the correct answer is option D.

    Mother and I (1)/ generally go to the store (2)/ and pick up food items (3)/ for the charitable. (4)
    Solutions
    The error is in the last part of the statement. 'Charitable' is an adjective and means relating to the assistance of those in need; it needs to be replaced with the abstract noun 'charity' to make it grammatically consistent.

    Every companies must (1)/ send its annual report to (2)/ its shareholders twenty-one days (3)/before the Annual General Body Meeting. (4)
    Solutions
    The error lies in the first part of the sentence. Here, the word, 'companies' should be replaced by 'company' and must use 'every' along with it. 'every' is used with singular countable nouns. To give the same meaning, 'all' is used with plural nouns. Therefore ‘Every company must’ should be used.

    Policy analysts are reacting to the inflation paranoia (1)/ with the proposing that (2)/central bankers hit the brakes (3)/ on their expansionary policies. (4)
    Solutions
    The error is in the second part of the statement.
    'Proposing' is the gerund form of the verb 'propose', which means put forward (a plan or suggestion) for consideration by others.
    Here we need the noun 'proposal', which means a plan or suggestion, especially a formal or written one, put forward for consideration by others.

    Airline managements should note (1)/ that the ultimate passenger unfriendliness (2)/ is to have their planes crash (3)/ due to the adopted of unsafe procedures. (4)
    Solutions
    It should be 'due to the adoption of doing choosing of unsafe procedure' as 'adopted' is used as a verb here which is incorrect as per the context. Rather it calls for the use of a noun .i.e. 'adoption'. Hence option D is the correct response.

    Building biogas plants will help reduce (1)/ greenhouse gas emissions by reducing (2)/ the consuming of Conventional Fuel (3)/ such as firewood and kerosene. (4)
    Solutions
    Use 'consumption' in place of 'consuming'. Here a noun is required to be modified by the participle form (acting as an adjective) of the verb 'reducing '. So, the correct choice is option C.
    Note: In the expression, 'help to do something' or 'help someone to do something', we can leave out the 'to' and say 'help do something' or 'help someone do something'. Both the structures are correct.
    When help is a verb (as it is here) the infinitive form is right where as When help is a noun (subject of clause), the participle form is acceptable.

    We have received (1)/ many a letters from customers (2)/ asking us to extend (3)/ the deadline to repay their loans. (4)
    Solutions
    The error is in the second part of the sentence.
    We need to replace 'many a' with 'many'. Both 'many' and 'many a' convey the same meaning that is "a large number of". The only difference is that 'many' is used with countable plural nouns followed by plural verb while 'many a' is followed by a singular countable noun and takes a singular verb with it. 'Letters' is a countable plural noun, so we need to use 'many'.
    So, the correct answer is option B.

    The panel will take into consideration (1)/ the individual care plan and (2)/ the opinion of the child before (3)/ decide the nature of foster care based on age and maturity. (4)
    Solutions
    The error is in the fourth part of the sentence, where we need to replace 'decide' with 'deciding'. We need to use gerund form of the verb 'decide' i.e. 'deciding' which means 'come to a decision about (something)'. The gerund will act as a noun and thus as the subject in the clause ' (The panel will be) deciding the nature of foster care based on age and maturity'. So, the correct answer is option D.
