1.1
Choice 1 is the correct sentence. In statement 'B' --------“Sachin has been seeking ------” the present continuous tense is incorrect because the remaining part of the sentence is in simple present tense. The word "entirely" (adverb) should precede wrong as, it lays emphasis on it. In statements 'C' and 'D' ------ "revulsion in" -------- is the error. Revulsion means (a strong feeling of disgust). It does not take the
preposition 'in'. Hence 'C' and 'D' are ruled out.
Choice (1)

2.3
Statement 'A' is wrong because, developmental means in a state of developing or evolutionary – "developmental successes" is not appropriate. Again the usage of "economical" in D is erroneous because economical means sparing in the use of resources
or money which is not appropriate to the context. In statement 'B' the ordering of words, is inappropriate. In the context of the sentence it is the western economic ideas, which were not considered to a great extent i.e., "to the extent that they were
considered at all in recent years" should be placed after "western economic ideas", not before it. If the position of the words "to the extent that they were considered at all" is after "-------- policy makers", it conveys the meaning that the policy makers are not considered at all, which changes the meaning completely.Choice (3)

3.2
Choice 2 is correct. In statement 'A' the usage "have to be necessarily aware of ------" is erroneous. The right structure is "have necessarily to be ------" which is found in B, C and D. In statement 'D' the ‘need of’ is wrong – it is ‘need for’. In statement C the order of the words is wrong.Choice (2)

4.2
In the context of the sentence "sputters" means struggles. In statements C and D the word "splits" does not convey the appropriate meaning-an economy does not split, a country
many. In statements 'A' and 'D' "for the survival of hardship" may conveys the meaning that the difficulties must survive which is erroneous. Hence A, C and D are ruled out. Further ‘foraging’ (search for something using hands) is wrong, ‘forging’ (putting a lot of effort to achieve something) is right.Choice (2)

5.3
Choice 3 is correct. Statement 'A' is wrong, it is not ------ "unconsciously few of us are aware of -------". In statement 'B' "a few of" indicates "some of us" and also the
usage "unconscious choices" is wrong. In 'D' the ordering of words is wrong. Choice (3)
