OA for SET 35

Sentences A and B have an agreement error. The phrase, all the facts is plural and should take the verb are in place of is. Further, in B, the subject is process (singular) and therefore, the verb permit should become permits.
The error in sentence E may perhaps get a wee bit difficult to figure out. To understand it, we can condense the sentence, starting from seven tenths to ninety five hundredths of it. Preposition to should replace preposition in (the one that precedes ninety-five) in the sentence.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
2>
Statement C has an error in parallelism. The elements of the sentence, the sharp morning air, interest in training, the unexpected popping need to be parallel. We need to add an article (the) just before the word interest and grotesque.
All the other statements are grammatically correct.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

OA for SET 36
c To wash over means to suddenly affect somebody
strongly, so that they are not aware of anything else
or to happen to or around somebody without affecting
them. This is incorrect in the given context. The correct
sentence should be The body was found washed up
on a beach. Washed up here means to carry
something onto land. So (c) is incorrect.
Wash down means to drink in order to swallow
something solid. So, (a) is correct. Wash out means to
make a game, an event, etc. end early or prevent it
from starting. Thus (b) is correct. Wash up means to
clean the plates and dishes after a meal. Thus, (d) is
correct.
d Sentence (d) is incorrect. The correct phrasal verb is
whip out which means to remove quickly. The correct
sentence is The police officer whipped out her radio
and called for back-up.
Have/hold the whip hand (over somebody/something)
means to be in a position where you have power or
control over somebody/something. So (a) is correct.
To whip through means to do something quickly. Thus,
(b) is correct. To whip up is to make food quickly. So
(c) is correct.
d Zip somebody/yourself into something means to
fasten clothes, bags, etc. with a zip/zipper. For
example: The children were safely zipped into their
sleeping bags. However, in the context given in (d)
zip into is incorrect. The correct usage should have
been strode into which means to walk in with long
strides sometimes indicating confidence. Thus option
(d) is incorrect.
Zip together means to be fastened with a zip/zipper.
So (a) is correct. Zip up or zip somebody/something
up means to be fastened with a zip/zipper; to fasten
something with a zip/zipper. So (b) is correct. Zip past
means to move very quickly or to make something
move very quickly in the direction mentioned. Thus,
(c) is correct.

The chief of army staff
Chief of the army staff
the chief of the army staff
which one is right. I think gramatically the chied of army staff should be right
like we say :
the president of India
The prime minister of India
rule : when a position is referred which is taken by one person at one time, the should be used '
But In the Hindu I was reading, they have used "chief of the army staff". Can someone elucidate this more
