    Princess Mary went back to her room (1)/ with the sad, scared expression that (2)/ left her rarely and which made her plain, (3)/ sickly face yet plainer. (4)
    Solutions
    The error lies in the third part of the given sentence. “Rarely” is an adverb of frequency which is placed after “Be” verb, auxiliary verbs (E.G. I am rarely annoying), and before other verbs. Thus, in the given context, “rarely”, which modifies the verb "left" should be placed before it.

    Whatever currency drives adventure, (1)/ whether fame or fortune, (2)/ a stowaway trying to cash (3)/ in on glory usual features in the story. (4)
    Solutions

    The error lies in the incorrect usage of the adjective "usual" in the last part of the sentence. Stowaway is a noun, who in the context of the sentence try to cash in on glory. The sentence talks about their presence in the story. Thus, the adverb "usually" should be used instead of "usual" as "features" is a verb and requires an adverb to modify it.

    The fear mongering ultimate failed to (1)/ impress the American public, and over the years (2)/ social security and its counterpart, Medicare, have become (3)/ the only safety nets for a majority of America’s elderly. (4)
    Solutions
    The adjective ‘ultimate’ needs to be replaced with an adverb ‘ultimately’. This is because ‘failed’ is an adjective and an adjective is used to describe a noun but an adverb is used to describe and adjective as well so and adverb is needed before that; also ‘ultimately’ here means finally; in the end.

    He was not enough strong (1)/ to work on the farm (2)/ like his brothers; but (3)/ he loved books and indoor games. (4)
    Solutions
    The error is in the first part of the sentence.
    ‘Enough’ as an adverb which means 'to the necessary degree' is used after the adjective or adverb that it is modifying, and not before it as other adverbs do.
    In the given sentence, it is used before the adjective ‘strong’ which is erroneous.
    Rather the phrase should be ‘strong enough’ to form a grammatically correct sentence.
    Hence, option A is the correct answer.

    The judge forbade (1)/ the two men (2)/ from not meeting (3)/ each other. (4)
    Solutions
    The error is in the third part of the sentence as double negative have been used. The adverb ‘not’ is never used with the words that already have a negative connotation.

    ‘Forbade’ means ‘prevent from doing something’. Therefore, ‘not’ must be removed from the fourth part of the sentence.

    Hence, option C is the correct answer.

    You always should (1)/ keep your (2)/ pin in (3)/ a safe place. (4)
    Solutions
    The error is in the first part of the sentence.
    We normally put adverbs after modal verbs. Therefore, the phrase should be ‘should always’ rather than ‘always should’ to form a grammatically correct sentence.
    Hence, the correct answer is option A.

    The city is provided generously with (1)/ all the modern public services, including (2)/ two street car lines, local and long-distance (3)/ telephone lines, electric power and light, and waterworks. (4)
    Solutions
    The error is in the first part of the sentence.
    An adverb of manner (for example: carefully, greedily, 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 (provided) which is erroneous.
    Hence, the phrase should be ‘generously provided’ to form a grammatically correct sentence.
    Hence, option A is the correct answer
