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?

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?

When deep-sea diving, (a)/ one should always take care (b)/ that oxygen cylinder is (c)/ tied to the back tightly. (d)

The first part of the sentence should be written as 'While diving in a deep-sea' instead of 'when deep sea diving'.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Atrophy can affect (a)/ a cell, organ, (b)/ tissues (c)/ or limb. (d)

The list has the article ‘a’ and all other nouns are singular, so ‘tissues’ too should be singular.

The company is negotiating (a)/ new store launches (b)/ at nearby (c)/ half the rent. (d)

It should be ‘nearly’ in place of ‘nearby’ in the third part of the sentence.

Which part of the following sentence contains a grammatical error?

Despite the merger, (a)/ the airline has reported (b)/ sizeable losses and is unable (c)/ to pay their employees. (d)

The subject ‘the airline’ is singular so object should also be singular. So it should be ‘its’ in place of ‘their’ in the fourth part of the sentence.

The resignation of (a)/ one of our directors (b)/ have caused the price (c)/ of shares to fall. (d)

Replace ‘have’ by ‘has’.
