Answer» A-F, B-D and C-E form contextually correct sentences. But the errors in phrases A, B and E MAKE the sentences GRAMMATICALLY incorrect. A-F :- The word ‘LEAF’ is incorrect in phrase A. It must be replaced with ‘leaves’. ‘leaf’ is an organ of plant which combines with stem to form the shoot of the plant. ‘leaves’ is plural of ‘leaf’ and ALSO it is the first form of verb ‘leave’. ‘leaves’ here is used as the first form of verb ‘leave’, which means to ‘go away or exit’. B-D :- The word ‘silence’ is incorrect in phrase B. It must be replaced with ‘salience’. ‘silence’ means ‘complete absence of sound’, whereas ‘salience’ means ‘prominence’. Here, ‘salience’ is the correct word. C-E :- ‘have’ in phrase E must be replaced with ‘has’. The rule of ‘SUBJECT-verb agreement’ is violated here.The subject (‘inauguration of an exhibition’) is singular, therefore its corresponding verb must also be singular. Hence, option 5 is the correct answer. |
