Part (A) is grammatically correct. Out of the other four parts, only one part is without error. Mark the option containing the part with no error. If none of the parts have errors, mark \u2018No error\u2019 as your answer.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Question 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Although the Sikhs are a (A)\/<\/strong>&nbsp;regional community in India, but by (B)\/ availing of modern opportunities (C)\/ they have extended their enterprises (D)\/ all over the country. \u20ac<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a) B<br>b) D<br>c) E<br>d) C<br>e) No error<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ans: (a)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solution: In B, remove BUT, as the sentence has already used the conjunction ALTHOUGH, which is used to show contradiction, so the use of BUT is redundant. Thus, (a) is the right answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/practicemock.com\/ibps-clerk\/?ref=8626\">IBPS Clerk Prelims 2023 free mock test<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Question 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Every community has the (A)\/ <\/strong>responsibility of educating its (B)\/ next generation, for education is (C)\/ the master-key which will (D)\/ opened all closed doors. (E)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a) B<br>b) C<br>c) D<br>d) E<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>e) No error<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ans: (d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solution: In E, replace OPENED with OPEN as the modal verb WILL will take the base form of the main verb. Thus, (d) is the right answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Question 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As the telegraph triggered the (A)\/ <\/strong>development of newly technologies, communication (B)\/ became progressively footloose, (C)\/ liberated from the constraints (D)\/ of space and time. (E)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a) C<br>b) B<br>c) D<br>d) E<br>e) No error<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ans: (b)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solution: In B, replace NEWLY with NEW, as the former is an adverb and the latter is an adjective. We need an adjective here to modify the noun TECHNOLOGIES.
