    Which of the following will be the First statement after rearrangement?

    Solutions

    The correct sequence is CEDBA. The ideal starter would be C that defines the subject of the passage which relates to water and water shortage. Next would be E as it stating to what extent the country is burdened with the problem. Next will be D, as it substantiates the problem through a report. B takes the next place as it mentions the main reason behind it, as the country is largely dependent on monsoons. Last would be A stating what it is likely to lead to.

    The 11th standards student (A)/ can be the youngest ever to (B)/ win senior World Cup gold medal (C)/ to India though the National Rifle Association (D)/ of India (NRAI) could not confirm

    Solutions

    Only option C is correct.

    11th‘standards’ is wrong. There is no reason we should use the plural form here. It should be ‘standard.’ So option A is wrong.

    B is wrong because, we are not yet sure, whether or not she is the youngest to win gold medals. 'Can' is used for certainties and 'could' is for possibilities. Thus, replace 'can' with 'could'.

    D is wrong because of the wrong preposition used.  Medals are won 'for' India, not ‘to’ India. Hence, replace 'to' with 'for'.

    The 33-years-old attacker, (A)/ Tejraj Sharma, from Tumakuru, (B)/ was immediately overpower, (C)/ arrested and booked in (D)/ attempt to murder

    Solutions

    Only B is correct.

    A is incorrect. Generally, when units of measure are used as adjectives, or as part of a compound noun, they are singular. When expressed as simple nouns, they are plural.Thus, here we must write ’33-year-old.’

    C is incorrect because 'overpower' is in present tense. We must use past tense here.

    D is incorrect because we use ‘for’ when we want to mention a ‘reason.’ Thus, replace 'in' with 'for'.

    Things came to a halt on Wednesday (A)/ after Union Finance Ministry Arun Jaitley, (B)/ while a press conference in New Delhi, (C)/ shifted the blame for non-transferred of funds on the (D)/ Andhra Pradesh government and the TDP

    Solutions

    Only part A is correct.
    Part B is incorrect because ministry is used for the entire group of people in a particular department. The head of that department is a minister.
    'While' is used to mean ‘at the same time; meanwhile.’ We can’t use this in the above sentence. We have to use ‘during.’ ‘During’ means ‘throughout the course or duration of (a period of time).’ This makes much more sense. So, option C is wrong too.
    When we add ‘-ed’ to a noun or a verb, it acts like an adjective. But since we have used ‘of’ after ‘non-transferred’, we don’t need to use ‘ed.’ It is simply ‘non-transfer’ of funds. So, option D is wrong.

    The decision, was taken at the weekly cabinet (A)/ meeting on Tuesday, came in responds to (B)/ a series of arson attacks targeting dozens of historical monuments (C)/ and African-owner shops and homes in Kandy, (D)/ located in the Central Province.

    Solutions

    Only C is correct.
    Option A is wrong. If we read part A and B together, we find that part A of the sentence is not over at Tuesday. Rather it is continuing after the comma. This is where we must make sure, we use either ‘that’ in part A i.e. (The decision, that was taken) or we don’t use the verb ‘was’ at all. Moreover, we use 'that' to introduce defining relative clauses to refer to people, animals and things.
    Part B is wrong because, ‘responds’ is a verb. What we need here is noun form i.e. ‘response.’
    Part D is wrong because, when we say ‘African-owner shops’ we mean shops that belong to African owners. So we must show belonging here by the use of an ‘apostrophe.’ But here the appropriate step is to use ‘African-owned shops’ where ‘African-owned’ has been used as an adjective.

    Not only did Emily start playing the piano before she could speak, but also her mother had taught her to compose music at a very early age.

    Solutions

    When using not only . . . but also in a sentence, parallelism should be maintained. It means that the words following both parts of this correlative conjunction (i.e., not only and but also) should belong to the same parts of speech. Using different parts of speech after each part of not only…but also makes the sentence imbalanced.

    In the given sentence, past tense of the verb is present after ‘not only’ while the past perfect tense is present after ‘but also’ which is erroneous.

    Therefore, the correct replacement is option A i.e. taught.

    Hence, the correct sentence is: Not only did Emily start playing the piano before she could speak, but also her mother taught her to compose music at a very early age.

    At the very outset, it must be made clear that in the worldwide liberalised economic environment and very high stake of the state in most public sector undertakings disinvestment policy seeks to differentiate close or bankrupt enterprise from the private sector.

    Solutions

    The sentence does not need any change. The verb should be in present tense which is 'seeks' and the preposition should be 'to'. The preposition 'between' is not required after the verb 'differentiate'. Thus option E is the correct answer.

    Two influencing senators have argued for the retention of the unpopular tax.

    Solutions

    The error lies in the use of gerund instead of an adjective to describe the subject 'senators'. The correct usage would be 'influential' instead of 'influencing'. 
    Thus, option C is the correct answer.

    The little girl believes that monsters exist, but her brother did not think they are really.

    Solutions

    The error lies in the use of past tense - 'did not' in place of  'does not' and the use of the adverb ''really' in place of adjective 'real'. The sentence is in present simple tense hinted by the use of the verb 'believes' , the entire sentence structure needs to be in present simple tense to ride the sentence grammatically correct. 
    The correct answer is option B.
