    Some thieves have eaten off their iron with mercury water.
    Solutions

    The error is in part B of the given sentence.

    Replace 'iron' with 'irons'.

    Some nouns change their meaning when used in plural form.

    The correct sentence - Some thieves have eaten off their irons with mercury water.

    Here, 'irons' denote 'chains'. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

    There has been a great (A)/ many books written (B)/ about sports injuries.(C)/ No error (D)

    Solutions

    The error is in part A of the given sentence.

    ‘A great many’ should be followed by a plural noun and a plural verb.

    However, in the given sentence, it is followed by a singular verb which is erroneous.

    Therefore, 'has' must be replaced with 'have' to form a grammatically correct sentence.

    Hence, option A is the correct answer.

    After the leader having been killed, the followers ran away.
    Solutions

    The error is in part A of the given sentence. 

    The word “after” should not be used for actions that have been completed and has “having + verb” in active voice while “having + been + verb” or “being + verb” in passive voice.

    It should, therefore, be re-written as ‘The leader having been killed, the followers ran away’.

    Hence, option A is the correct answer

    If I have enough money, I would buy some new shoes.
    Solutions

    The given sentence is an example of first conditional sentences.

    First conditional sentences are used to express situations in which the outcome is likely (but not guaranteed) to happen in the future. We use the simple present tense in the if-clause and simple future tense in the main clause—that is, the clause that expresses the likely outcome.

    Therefore, ‘would buy’ must be replaced with ‘will buy’ to form a grammatically correct sentence.

    Hence, option C is the correct answer.

    Analysts fear the situation is even more worse than the leadership admits.
    Solutions

    The usage of ‘more worse’ is incorrect here.

    ‘Worse’ is an adjective in the comparative degree and the usage of ‘more’ before it is redundant. Thus, ‘more’ should be eliminated to make the sentence grammatically correct.

    Thus, option B is the correct answer.
