Ans. b
Sol. Use the helping verb ‘has’ – in place of – ‘have’. The subject is here State Bank of India, which is singular in nature, so, the singular verb form ‘has’ should be used here instead of the plural form ‘have’.
(Note: ‘the bellwether and archetypal public sector bank’ is used here for ‘State Bank of India’.)

Ans. c
Sol. Use ‘scarce’ – in place of – ‘scarcely’. Since, “make + object + adjective” is the correct formation. So, we have to use the adjective ‘scarce’ in place of the adverb ‘scarcely’.
Q.20. If a weed has (a)/ to be destroyed, it is removed (b)/ at the roots. (c)/ No Error (d)
Ans. c
Sol. Use ‘by the roots’ – in place of – ‘at the roots’. The correct formation is ‘to weed something out by the (its) roots’. There is also a word ‘extirpate’ which originally means ‘to weed out by the roots’. We can use it more broadly to describe getting rid of something completely. Use the verb ‘extirpate’ when you mean to destroy completely or get rid of completely.
