Ans. a
Sol. Use the helping verb ‘is’ – in place of – ‘are’. The subject of the sentence is ‘Ashwani Kumar’s forthcoming book’, which is singular, so, the singular verb ‘is’ should be used here.
Q.2. For a majority of migrant labourers, (a)/ migration is either a livelihood accumulation strategy or survival-risk (b)/ reducing strategy, whichever way we defined the nature of migration. (c)/ No error (d)
Ans. c
Sol. Use ‘define’ – in place of – ‘defined’. The sentence is framed in the present tense to talk about what migration is for ‘migrant labourers’. So, the first form of the verb ‘define’ should be used here instead of the past form ‘defined’.

Ans. b
Sol. Use ‘migrants’ – in place of – ‘migrant’. The plural verb ‘are’ is used here to talk about 450 million Indians (37%) who are migrants. ‘Migrant’ is a singular noun and ‘migrants’ is a plural noun.

Ans. a
Sol. Use ‘suggests’ – in place of – ‘suggest’. The subject of the sentence is ‘Priya Deshingkar’, which is singular in nature, so, the singular form of the verb (suggests) should be used here instead of the plural verb form (suggest).
Q.7. In between migration and settlement for employment and livelihoods, these migrants (a)/ are often denied welfare rights in their destination place and imposed debilitating (b)/ transaction costs in case they decided to negotiate their citizenship rights. (c)/ No error (d)

Ans. c
Sol. Use ‘to worsen’ – in place of – ‘to worse’. After the preposition ‘to’, first form of the verb is required here. The very word ‘worsen’ is a verb and ‘worse’ is a comparative adjective. ‘Worse’ is an adverb and noun.
Q.14. The city is now under curfew, (a)/ which went into affect at 11 p.m. (local time) (b)/ and will be active until 6 a.m. on Monday. (c)/ No error (d)
Ans. b
Sol. Use ‘effect’ – in place of – ‘affect’. After the preposition ‘into’, a noun is required here. The very word ‘effect’ is a noun and ‘affect’ is a verb.

Q.17. George Floyd died after a Derek Chauvin, a white Minneapolis police officer, (a)/ pressed his knee on his neck. The officer has charged with third-degree (b)/ murder and second-degree manslaughter for his crimes. (c)/ No error (d)
Ans. b
Sol. Use ‘has been charged’ – in place of – ‘has charged’. The structure should be in passive form, as, the officer who killed George Floyd by putting his knee on George’s neck, has been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter for his crimes.

Ans. b
Sol. Use ‘delivering’ – in place of – ‘delivered’. Before the conjunction ‘and’, the verbs should be in the same forms. As we have used the present participle ‘using’ before the conjunction ‘and’, so, after the conjunction, present participle (delivering) should be here to show the ongoing activity and to tell us how he did that (how he projected his strength).
