Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

You cannot change (a)/ people, but you (b)/ can definitely (c)/ change own. (d)

Instead of the phrase ‘change own’ we should use ‘change yourself’ (the reflexive form of you).

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

He is the most (a)/ intelligent and also (b)/ the very talented (c)/ student of the college. (d)

It should be ‘most’ in place of ‘very’ in the third part of the sentence because the previous adjective in the sentence is ‘most’

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

In emerging economies, (a)/ the private credit market (b)/ remains highly segmented and thus (c)/ weaken power of monetary policy. (d)

It should be ‘weakens’ in place of ‘weaken’ in the fourth part of the sentence because the subject ‘the private credit market’ in singular. Also the preceding verb ‘remains’ is singular.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

A non-banking financial company is a (a)/ financial institution similarly to a bank (b)/ but it cannot issue (c)/ chequebooks to customers. (d)

It should be ‘similar’ in place of ‘similarly’ in the second part of the sentence.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

He has ruined (a)/ his eyesight (b)/ by not using (c)/ his spectacles regularly. (d)

No error

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

There is no argument against (a)/ the fact that (b)/ humans are the most intelligent (c)/ of all other species. (d)

Delete ‘other’ from the fourth part of the sentence.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

The state government (a)/ has send reports (b)/ to the centre (c)/ on the situation. (d)

Replace ‘send’ with ‘sent’.

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.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

This is the only organization (a)/ which could somehow continue (b)/ to making profits (c)/ in the face of recession. (d)

It should be ‘make’ in place of ‘making’ in the third part of the sentence because infinitive ‘to’ is followed by the first form of verb.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Alexander Calder, who was originally (a)/ interested in (b)/ mechanical engineering later (c)/ became a sculpture (d).

Alexander became a Sculptor (a noun that is a subject) not a sculpture which is an object.
