Correct Answers:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
D A B D E C B C B E

Explanations:

1.
Corrects the error of dangling modifier. Because, a participle is a verbal-adjective,
and it must be attached to a proper subject. In the sentence, being a convict of
fodder scam, is modifying ‘the resignation from the post’. ‘D’ corrects this error.
Hence, the option D is correct.

2.
Corrects the error of idiomatic use. ‘Find fault with’ is an idiom meaning ‘to look for
mistakes or to complain about something’.
Hence, the optiion A is correct.

3.
Corrects the subject verb agreement. The subject of the verb ‘are’ is an affidavit form
and three sheets (plural) not ‘the application’.
Hence, the option B is correct.

4.
When people rally to something or when something rallies them, they unite to
support it.
Ex. His supporters have rallied to his defence.
Ex. He rallied his own supporters for a fight.
The preposition 'in/at' is followed by the verb 'rally' only in a context of a place.
Ex. Ian Smith, a 24-year-old who works with adolescents in drug and mental health
rehab, showed up at the same Trump rally in suburban Southern California.
Ex. Fistfights broke out among protesters who were rallying at the JNU, prompting
the management to cancel the event.
Hence, the option D is correct.
5.
The sentence is correct.
Hence, the option E is correct.

6.
Corrects the error of past participle form of verb ‘have’ and conjunction ‘that’. In
perfect tense after has/have/had, the transitive or main verb is used in V3 (past
participle form). In the sentence, V3 form of ‘have’ is ‘had’ meaning ‘experienced’.
After adjective in superlative degree, ‘that’ is used to join the clauses.
Hence, the option C is correct.

7.
Corrects the error of agreement. Because the observation has been made by the
court, ‘tampered with’ is a phrasal verb meaning ‘to interfere or meddle with’.
Hence, the option B is correct.

8.
Corrects the idiomatic error. ‘Last but not least’ is an idiom which means ‘last but not
less important than others’.
Hence, the option C is correct.

9.
Corrects the error of conjunction ‘such’. Because it is always followed by ‘as’ or
‘that’.
Hence, the option B is correct.

10
The sentence is correct.
Hence, the option E is correct.
