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?

Inspite that organisations are aware (a)/ of the importance of IT (b)/ they often do not know (c)/ how to deploy it effectively. (d)

The correct phrase is ‘Inspite of’. So part one of the sentence should be written as 'Inspite of organisations are aware'.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

The boy who was guilty with (a)/ having stolen the cell phone (b)/ came out (c)/ with the truth. (d)

It should be ‘of’ in place of ‘with’ in the first part of the sentence because guilty is followed by preposition ‘of’.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

The recent election campaign (a)/ has been one of (b)/ the most noisiest campaigns (c)/ in the last decade. (d)

Delete ‘most’ from third part of the sentence. Two superlatives are not used together. ‘Noisiest’ is a superlative.

Replace ‘torn’ with ‘tore’

‘for’ is not required in the sentence.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Hardly had I (a)/ entered the airport (b)/ than I met (c)/ my cousin Tilak. (d)

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

District police arrested (a)/ a gang of notorious robbers, (b)/ who were planning to strike at (c)/ a house in the vicinity. (d)

It should be ‘strike out’ in place of ‘strike at’ in the third part of the sentence. Strike at means to hit somebody with a weapon and strike out means to move in a planned or determined way.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

During the interview (a)/ the panel asked me (b)/ several technical questions (c)/ and I answered all of it. (d)
