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?

It (a)/ can take hundreds (b)/ of different experiments to achieve (c)/ a ultimate solution. (d)

‘Ultimate’ is proceeded with the article ‘the’ not ‘a’.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

My elder sister and I am (a)/ interested in painting (b)/ and therefore have joined (c)/ the coaching classes. (d)

It should be ‘are’ in place of ‘am’ in the first part of the sentence because the subject is plural.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Although interlinking of rivers will (a)/ help tackle drought, the government (b)/ has not paid much (c)/ attention to this project. (d)

The second part of the sentence should be written as 'help to tackle drought, the government' or 'help in tackling drought, the government'.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Schools in India can be supported (a)/ either by government budgets (b)/ and (c)/ by private foundations. (d)

The use of ‘either’ will be followed by ‘or’ not and.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Ram asked (a)/ would I go (b)/ to the college (c)/ with him. (d)

It is a question in the reported speech, so there must be an ‘if’ before I. The right sentence will be 'Ram asked if I would go.'

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?

We insisted, but neither (a)/ Iona nor her assistant (b)/ are ready to (c)/ work on Sunday. (d)

It should be ‘is’ in place of ‘are’ in the third part of the sentence because if the subject is related to either...or, neither...nor, the verb used is according to its nearest subject.

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?

With regard to implementation, the (a)/ details of the proposal (b)/ the committee was (c)/ divided in its opinion. (d)

Replace ‘was’ with ‘were’.In collective nouns (committee, audience, government, etc) we use singular if referring to an entity.'Committee' is used as a plural noun here, since each one has a different opinion.
