Answer:
6.
A B
uses knows which is a wrong verb in the context of the subject given here.
Option C changes the intended meaning by introducing them. Option D uses would
twice for no reason. Hence A.
7.
A
Distinguish always takes the preposition from; consequently, option b is
wrong here. Option D uses between, which is better suited after suited after,
differentiate. Besides, or is redundant here. Hence A.
8.
D the
problem here is that the pronoun “those” should refer to an impersonal object
or idea, not a person, as is the case here. Options A, B and C can be ruled out
for this reason itself.
9.
C it is
not the person, who is a violation of something; violation keeping this in
mind, we can safely rule out options A and B.
Option D puts prominently quite for away from the words the lowest,
which is a grammatical fallacy. It tends to violate the principle of proximity.
Hence [C]
10.
D
Option B suggests as if the association (placed after the comma) were
approaching this fiure. This is a nonsensical idea. C distorts the intended
meaning by conveying that the prediction will be made in the 21st
century. Now approaching itself conveys a continuous action. We do not need to
qualify it by using has been. Hence option A is also ruled out. Hence D.
