Answers with Explanations :
1. (b) ‘English is’ in place of ‘English are’.
2. (a) ‘There is so much filth’ in place of ‘There are so many filths.’ Filth is uncountable and thus ‘much’ should be used in place of ‘many’
3. (c) ‘You and me’ in place of ‘you and I’
4. (b) ‘His seat’ in place of ‘their seat’. The pronoun for ‘nobody’ is singular, his or her.
5. (c) ‘Should’ in place of ‘may’. ‘ Lest’ is followed by ‘should’.
6. (c) ‘For being late’ in place of ‘to be late’
7. (a) ‘Sweet’ in place of ‘sweetly’. Sweetly is an adverb and an adjective should be used here.
8. (a) ‘All his daughters’ in place of ‘His all daughters’. Here the error is in placement of words.
9. (c) Here the words ‘who are’ create confusion. It is not clear whether the words are for the police or for the men who have been arrested. Such tags cause confusion and should be avoided.
10. (c) ‘Than that of’ in place of ‘than your’.
Here the comparison is between the price of the two cars. Thus ‘that of’ or ‘the price of’ should be used.
