OA:
1>A
Sentence A contains a subject verb agreement error. The verb before 'responsible' should be singular as it would agree with the 'government'. The sentence should read 'The issue..............I believe that it is the government and not the policies that is responsible'. Sentence B should be 'believes' because, in such a case, the verb follows the main subject, which is 'detective'.
2>C
Sentence A is incorrect as 'who' has been incorrectly used for inanimate objects- 'that' is the correct pronoun to be used here. Sentence B is incorrect, the correct verb here would be 'is'.
3>D
Sentence A is incorrect 'the' should precede 'greatest naval…'. In sentence B the correct phrase is 'to build up'. In Sentence C 'for acquiring' should be 'in acquiring'.

Guys, This was a CAT 2005 question
While solving this even I thought the answer was (3). However the correct answer is (1)
Explanation
The passage has a decidedly negative tone. The author states that just like other generations before it, this generation has also struggled to understand the organizational laws of the frontier, has suffered from unwarranted pride, and has also failed like those before. So only (1) can complete the paragraph by stating the need for humility in front of this failure.
