The following question consists of a certain number of sentences. Some sentences are grammatically incorrect or inappropriate. Select the option that indicates the grammatically incorrect and inappropriate sentence(s).

D. There are many varieties and grades of paper materials, and whilst it is fairly easy to spot the varieties, it is far more difficult to spot the grades.
E. A city that looks like a cramped row of shiny, tall matchboxes in places, Mumbai is finally going to get some respite.

OPTIONS 1)A and C 2)A and B 3)C and D 4)E and B 5)B and C

In my opinion the correct answer should be 5) B & C. what say Puys?

@yashasvi5 has to option 3??!!

option 1 or 2.....

a general questiom here .. do we need to put a comma while saying - the exyernal affairs munister, pranab mukherjee, ... or it isnt mandatory .


for eg. do we say

The Indian Captain, MS Dhoni, helped India win the World Cup

or The Indian Captain MS Dhoni helped India win the world cup.

I think the commas are needed, hence B and C are incorrect ...

@prats92 said: identify the correct one: 1)a)The fact that japan and korea have so far resisted the great disruption b)is testimony for the power of culture to shape economic choices. c)Both countries ,have shown strong cultural preferences for more traditional female roles , d)and both retained discriminatory formal laws that make it less likely for women to enter the workforce . e)Particularly in korea,Confucianism gives broad support to the patriachal family1)a and e 2)a,c,e 3)b,c,d 4)d and e 5)e onlyplz explain the errors also..
