    With little creativity and hard work the project could have been successfully completed.
    Solutions

    Option A has the grammatically incorrect part. The use of "little" is incorrect in the sentence and should be replaced by "a little".

    When we say 'a little' or 'a few', we mean a small amount, but it's enough. Example: She had a little money enough to feed her atleast.

    On the other hand, 'little' or 'few' usually give us a different impression. These also mean a small amount, but this time the amount is almost nothing. Example: She had little money. She cannot even get herself food.

    She behaves in a such a cordial manner that everyone admires her.

    Solutions

     Option B has the grammatically incorrect part. Article “a” will be removed after “in” as we use an article just once and its correct position is before “cordial manner” only.

    Hence option B is the correct answer.

    Rohan and I am best friends and we often meet each other.
    Solutions
    Option C has the grammatically incorrect part. When two different subjects are connected by "and", they carry a plural verb. Therefore, 'am' should be replaced by 'are'.

    The stole baby was found unharmed by the police.
    Solutions

    An adjective is a word naming an attribute of a noun, so an adjective is needed in part 1 to qualify the noun “baby” but “stole” is not an adjective. It should be replaced by past participle “stolen” as it also behaves as an adjective. Hence option B is correct.

    All employees of the National Sugar Factory differ from their boss on the medical and pension policy.

    Solutions

     Option A has the grammatically incorrect part.

    Differ from : be unlike

    Differ with : disagree

    The sentence implies that all employees disagree with their boss. Hence, replace “from” with “with” to make the sentence grammatically correct.

    The General Manager of the industry feels that there is no use of discussing about the problems with the labourers.
    Solutions
    Option C has the grammatically incorrect part. The verb "discuss" is not followed by any preposition. So, the use of "about" is incorrect in the sentence and should be removed to make the sentence correct grammatically.

    You have acted nobler than all of us. 

    Solutions

    Option B has the grammatically incorrect part. An adverb is required here but "Nobler' is an adjective hence, we need to replace it by "more nobly", which is an adverb.

    The prime minister made a firm commitment to increasing spending on health.
    Solutions

    The verbs like ‘ask’, ‘advise’, ‘allow’, ‘made’, ‘command’, ‘invite’, ‘forbid’, ‘encourage’ etc. are followed by Object + to + first form of the verb.

    Therefore, ‘increasing’ must be replaced with ‘increase’ to form a grammatically correct sentence.

    Hence, option C is the correct answer.

    He is several years junior than Mrs. Cooper.
    Solutions

    We use the preposition ‘to’ after adjectives like superior, inferior, preferable etc. and not the conjunction ‘than’.

    Therefore, ‘than’ must be replaced with ‘to’ to form a grammatically correct sentence.

    Hence, option C is the correct answer.
