  5. E

Correct Answer:
C
This sentence has an error in the verb-time agreement. There are two verbs of past tense preceding the main verb, which also must be in the same tense in order to give a sound meaning. Option A proposes a future tense (will say). Option B proposes a present verb (say). Option D proposes a passive form of infinitive verb
(to be said). Option E proposes a gerund (saying) that is inappropriate. Option C proposes a verb of past tense (said) that is absolutely suitable; hence, option C is the correct answer.

    library, a recording room, an institute to train youngsters, and offer pension to old musicians
  5. E
    library, a recording room, an institute to train youngsters, offer pension to old musicians

Correct Answer:
D
This sentence has an error in the use of parallelism. When there are some different ideas are discussed; they are united with a comma (,) and the last one should be preceded by a conjunction (and). Option D is correct by using the conjunction (and) in the place where it is required {a recording room, an institute to train youngsters, and offer pension to old musicians) than before all ideas as in the other options, which is an incorrect way of writing; hence option D is the correct answer.

  4. D
    even will foulmouth the voters and asked them to leave.
  5. E

Correct Answer:
B
This sentence has an error in the verb-time agreement. There cannot be two different tense pattern used in a single sentence. Option B only has verbs in same tense, being used in the sentence {foulmouthed the voters and asked) whereas other options have different tenses (foulmouth/ will foulmouth/ may be foulmouthed) in a single sentence; hence, option B is the correct answer.

    narrow lane how the school is located

    narrow lane which the school is located

Correct Answer:
B
This sentence has an error in the use of conjunction. The subordinate clause denotes a place that needs a conjunction that refers place, as it is in the option B
(where) that exactly refers the place. Other options use conjunctions (when/what/how/which) those do not refer the place as option B; hence, it is correct answer.
