@barclays_boss You said, "Gesticulation(a noun) is the gesture of gesticulating(a verb).
So , His act of gesticulating in the show was simply fantabulous would fit the bill."
If it were 'His gesticulation in the show was...', would it be okay then?
You said, "Being a motivator,I have quizzed almost every facet of people's personality is correct." Wouldn't it be people's 'personalities' since people is a plural term?

@amresh_maverick said:
Here are the OAs:-
(1)Option 1
The
correct option is 1 because 'A' and 'B' don't have any error. In 'C' it
should be 'over' not 'above'. 'D' is incorrect because it should be
'seemed' not 'were seeming'. In 'E' the correct preposition should be
'along' not 'alongside'.
(2)Option 5
The correct
option is 5 because 'A, C and E' have no errors. In 'B' the correct
word (adverb) is 'overpoweringly' and not 'overpowering'. In 'D' it
should be 'would look', since the sentence is in past tense.
(3)Option 4
The
correct option is 4. A, C and E don't have any grammatical error. In
'D' it should be 'people look like..' not '..alike', because 'alike' is
incorrect contextually. In 'B' it should be 'caricatures' and not
'caricature
(4)Option 2
The correct option is 2.
There are no errors in B, C and D. A is incorrect because it should be
'sightings' not 'sighting' since it is referring to more than one
situation, that is 'dawn and dusk animal '. E is incorrect because
'both' should precede 'physically and mentally', since 'both' is a
distributive pronoun.

@amresh_maverick:
My takes
1)The destabilization of the economy has left unstable stocks in the hands of frightened investors. It is imperative that they be more tightly controlled. - incorrect . they is not specific here.
2)He is one of our employees who are always alert. - Incorrect. Not are is should be there.
3)Though he is my relation, I shall not spare him. - correct
4)Though she disallowed me, yet I will go to her. - Incorrect yet is not necessary as though is already used or vice versa
5)When I switched the TV on, the programme started. I missed the beginning. - Incorrect . on should be used after switched. and the programme had
6)Part of the guests has arrived. - Incorrect. Have should be used
7)I have lived in Bangalore for ten years ---NA
8]Her house has four rooms ; a kitchen, a parlor, a bedroom, and a bathroom. - correct
9)Dr.Hakutas research among Hispanic children in the United States indicates that the more the children use both Spanish and English , their intellectual advantage is greater in skills underlying reading ability and nonverbal logic. - incorrect . the sentence should be the more .. the er.. should it should be the greater in skills ......
10)The farmers will either find ways to cut their costs, or the banks will lower the interest rate on loans. - incorrect. Either has to be in the beginning because 2 probabilities are spoken about loans. this sentence tells that the farmer have 2 plans. one is cut their costs and the other is not mentioned.. the other thing tat is mentioned is regarding banks and not farmers. so either should be the first statement.
11)On sunny days many like to skate on the village pond or to sled on Mount Knox. - correct

OA SC-1
1)INCORRECT.
The mistake lies in the
pronoun.Here,the pronoun 'they' can point to either unstable stocks or
frightened investors.The correct statement will be- The destabilization
of the economy has left unstable stocks in the hands of frightened
investors.It is imperative that the unstable stocks be more tightly
controlled.
2)CORRECT.
3)CORRECT.
4)CORRECT.
5)INCORRECT.
The sentence contains two actions in the past(switched the TV on,the programme started).
RULE-If
an action(here,it is switching the tv on) precedes an earlier past
action(the start of the program),we use the past perfect tense(HAD +
past participle)
Hence,the correct sentence will be-When i switched the TV on,the programme had started.I missed the beginning.
6)INCORRECT.
Words
like 'half' , 'part' are singular or plural according to the meaning of
the sentence.When they refer to a mass or a section,they are
singular.When they refer to a number of individuals of things,they are
plural.The correct sentence will be-Part of the guests have arrived.
7)CORRECT.
8]INCORRECT.
The semi-colon usage is wrong here.A colon should be used as we are listing things of the house.
9)INCORRECT.
Here there is an incorrect usage of comparatives.The sentence uses the 'th more the...' comparative.The correct usage is 'the more the....,the ------ the......'
The
correct sentence will be-Dr.Hakuta's research among Hispanic children
in the United States indicates that the more the children use Spanish
and English,the greater their intellectual advantage in skills
underlying reading ability and nonverbal logic.
10)INCORRECT.
Incorrect usage of 'either....or....'
Correct
sentence will be-Either the farmers will find ways to cut their
costs,or the banks will lower the interest rate on loans.
11)CORRECT.
