should be used in E. The only correct sentence is Sentence

A.
Q:36 (2) Statement “D” seems to have an error in it with the
application of “The protection of mountains is also are key
part”, which should be “the protection of mountains in also a
key part” as it states about one particular act.
Q:37 (3) Statement “D” seems to have an error with the
application of “moons” which should be “moon‟s” instead. We
use “apostrophe” as a punctuation mark („) used to indicate
either possession.
Q:38 (2) Statement “B” seems to have an error with the
application of “as far” which should be “as per”.
Q:39 (1) In the given sentence the error lies in part A. The
verb „flee‟ itself means ‘run away from a place or situation of
danger.‟ So, the use of „away‟ together with „flee‟ becomes
redundant.
Q:40 (5) The given sentence does not have any grammatical
or contextual errors.
Q:10 (1) In sentence A, remove „but‟ as the sentence has
already used the conjunction „although; which is used to
show contradiction, so the use of „but‟ is redundant.
In sentence B, replace „lose‟ with „loss‟ as the former is a
verb and the latter is a noun. Here we need a noun here to
be modified by the adjective „continuous‟.
Q:11 (3) In sentence A, a singular or plural verb with nouns is
used according to the sense which they convey. So, we have
to use „face‟ instead of „faces‟ to make it a grammatically
correct sentence. In sentence C, place „the‟ before „UK‟. We
place the definite article „the‟ before proper nouns when they
refer to the names of descriptive names of countries such as
the USA, the UAE, etc.
