"Soviet's Dictator" shows the possesive case... I think 5 would be correct..
Rest depends on OA... hehehhe....
@ravi.theja Since in 5 we are talking about possession's case...
1.A. Were you B. given a choice C. or you had to do it? D. No error.
2.A. He explained the matter B. at great length C. but I was not the wiser D. No error.
3.A.I am hearing B. a lot about C.the problem of cancer these days. D. No error.
4.A. The ability to plan, B. organise and coordinate work is all fundamental C. to working within deadline. D. No error.
Find the part of sentence that has error and post ur explanation @spectramind07 sir help pls..
@ravi.theja 1. D
2. C --- but i was not wiser... the is not required...( Confused in this case)
3. C ---- these days should come in A.
4. C --- to work hona chaheyeee....
This was a tricky one.... It might not be incase i am weak in SC... :D
option 5 ?

A suggestion.While answering an SC question,please mention how did you eliminate the other choices.It really helps.Merely posting the answers won't help that much na.The format can be like this-

We don't use possessive case with inanimate objects.That is why SOVIET dictator is fine but not SOVIET'S dictator.Similarly-

READING COMPREHENSION SET-01
Nothing about global warming is simple, alas. Meteorological models fry the circuits of the largest
supercomputers. Feedback loops and anomalies turbocharge an ill-tempered debate about what will happen where and when. And don't even start on the politics of negotiating a global agreement on emissions or the intricacies of cap-and-trade. Unfortunately, the technology of climate change is no simpler than anything else. A field that you may think is governed by level-headed, spreadsheet-wielding engineers is alarmingly prone to zealotry and taboos.Climate change is too important and too complex to yield to either. It is seductive to think a new technology can solve your problems at a stroke. But zealotry has lately suffered a defeat. It used to be an article of faith in the motor industry that hydrogen-powered fuel cells were the green future, and companies spent billions of dollars on the technology. But it turns out that fuel cells have three Achilles heels. The first is the chicken-and egg problem that, as there are virtually no hydrogen filling-stations, there are no hydrogen cars—and hence there is no reason to build the filling-stations. Then comes the cost of hydrogen-based vehicles. Just the platinum for the catalyst inside a fuel cell costs as much as an internal-combustion engine of equivalent power, according to a recent study. And producing hydrogen from natural gas creates a lot of carbon dioxide—about double what a small, petrol-based car emits.
One day hydrogen may be produced from the electrolysis of water. But it would have to be transported and stored, which would require a new infrastructure. So, for the next few decades, at least, technological pragmatism will rule motoring. More efficient internal-combustion engines will wring out mileage from every drop of fuel, and hybrid powertrains will combine an electric motor with a conventional engine. Soon there will be “plug-in” hybrids, which can be recharged from the mains and call on a petrol-powered generator when needed. The plug-ins, in turn, are a bridge towards all-electric vehicles. The plan mapped out by the car industry may not be as technologically elegant as the fuel cell, but it has the merit that it is based on technology
that works, is not expensive and can use existing infrastructure. Elsewhere, however, the taboos still rule.Nowhere more so than in geo-engineering, the idea of combating global warming by altering the climate by,say, absorbing carbon dioxide in the oceans, or reflecting sunlight back into space. This involves fantastic sounding schemes, such as fertilising the oceans with iron (to cause a bloom of planktonic algae, thus sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere) or ejecting carbon from the poles using lasers. Scientists and policymakers have been reluctant even to discuss the subject—much less research it, because they worry that it could cause
more problems than it solves and that it will give politicians an excuse to avoid curbing carbon emissions.
Both fears are reasonable. The farmer who introduced rabbits into Australia said the bunnies would do “little harm and might provide a touch of home, in addition to a spot of hunting.” The rabbit went on to become a devastating pest. And the world's politicians, they may well negotiate with less commitment if they feel that they may one day be let off the hook. But neither reason should stop research as insurance. Some forms of geo-engineering may in fact turn out to be easier and cheaper than widespread global curbs on climate emissions-though they may still be unacceptably risky. Only research can tell. As for the politics,geo-engineering cannot just be put back in its box. And because research creates new information, it is as likely to disabuse those who think they can avoid climate-change agreements as it is to offer them false hope.Just ask the people who have given their lives to the fuel cell. The solution to climate change will probably
involve an array of technologies, from renewables, nuclear, carbon sequestration, public transport to energy conservation. It is too early to say whether geo-engineering or anything else will be part of this mix.Geo-engineering may turn out to be too risky, however much is spent on researching it. Then again, there may come a time when it is needed. The world needs to be ready—and research is the only way to prepare.
Q1)According to the passage the technology of climate change is not a simple field because
(1) It is governed by spreadsheet-wielding engineers.
(2) It is too complicated and too vital to succumb to governance.
(3) It is susceptible to zealotry and taboos.
(4) It requires a global agreement on emissions.
(5) It is governed by level-headed engineers.
Q2)According to the passage, why are the hydrogen-powered fuel cells no longer the green future?
(1) Because billions of dollars were spent on the technology.
(2) Because there is the chicken-and-egg problem.
(3) Because there are no hydrogen cars.
(4) Because there are three problems with the technology.
(5) Because there a lack of faith in the technology.
Q3)Which of the following is not a reason for the debacle of the fuel cells in the passage?
(1) The platinum catalyst cell costs as much as an internal-combustion engine.
(2) Producing hydrogen from natural gas creates a lot of carbondioxide.
(3) There are virtually no hydrogen filling-stations and cars.
(4) The cost of hydrogen-based vehicles is high.
(5) The fuel cell technology combats climate change.
Q4)Which of the following statements best supports the argument in the passage that taboos still rule in geo-engineering ?
(1) Transportation and storage of hydrogen will require a new infrastructure.
(2) Scientists and policymakers worry that it could cause more problems than it solves.
(3) The idea of combating global warming by altering the climate is fantastic.
(4) Forms of geo-engineering may be cheaper than curbs on climate emissions.
(5) Geo-engineering cannot just be put back in its box and needs adequate research.
