Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

It should be 'has predicted that the' in place of 'predicted that the' because the sentence is in present tense.

It should be ‘was’ in place of ‘were’ in the fourth part of the sentence.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

You cannot demand (a)/ all your articles (b)/ unless you do not (c)/ give advance notice. (d)

It should be 'unless you' in place of 'unless you do not' in the third part of the sentence because two negatives are not used together. Unless itself is a negative word.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

In 60’s Beatles, with (a)/ their haircuts, clothes and joking (b)/ drew (c)/ crowds of shrieking teenagers. (d)

It is a series of nouns-haircuts, clothes and ... ‘joking’ is a verb so the noun should be used in its place- Jokes.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Caricature, a type (a)/ of exaggeration (b)/ is common (c)/ used in political cartoons. (d)

The word used before the verb ‘used’ will be an adverb not a noun, thus the correct use will be ‘commonly’ and not ‘common’.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Our equipment gets damage (a)/ very often in summer (b)/ because there are (c)/ frequent power cuts. (d)

It should be ‘damaged’ in place of ‘damage’ in the first part of the sentence.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

He would (a)/ never have taken the job if he had been knowing (b)/ what great demands (c)/ it would make on his time. (d)

Present perfect continuous tense is employed when the work continue till the present. The given sentence on the other hand suggests that the work should have happened at some time in the past, so the tense used should be Past Perfect, ‘had known’ not ‘had been knowing’.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

No sooner had he (a)/ come from Mumbai when (b)/ he was asked (c)/ to proceed to Delhi. (d)

Because the sentence begins with No sooner had he come, the right use will be ‘than’ not ‘when’. 'When' is used, when the exact event or time is mentioned directly in the sentence, e.g., He had just come from Mumbai when he was asked to proceed to Delhi.
