    A
    B
    C
    D
    All are correct
    Option B
    In part A in place of ‘in spite’ ‘despite’ must be used as in spite is always immediately followed by preposition ‘of’. Note that, ‘in spite’ is not a word. “In spite of” means exactly the same thing as “despite” and is used exactly the same way. In part C ‘recognises’ is incorrectly used and should be replaced by ‘recognise’. In part D, ‘different’ must take place of ‘difference’ to make the sentence grammatically correct. The word ‘difference’ being noun, it specifies the extent or quality of dissimilarity or contrasts between two things, situations, or entities. Whereas, the word ‘different’ being adjective, it modifies noun.

    A
    B
    C
    D
    All are correct
    Option A
    In part B, we cannot use ‘above’ with ‘than’, hence ‘above’ should be replaced with ‘more’.
    In part C, ‘up’ should not be used with ‘took’. Generally, ‘took up’ means ‘to start doing something regularly as a habit, job, or interest’. Hence the correct form will be ‘took effect’.
    In part D, in place of preposition ‘on’, ‘in’ should be used. We use ‘in’ for nonspecific times during a day, a month, a season, or a year, whereas, we use ‘on’ to designate days and dates.

    A
    B
    C
    D
    All are correct.

    In part A, we should use ‘on’ instead of ‘in’. We use ‘on’ to designate days and dates and we use ‘in’ for nonspecific times during a day, a month, a season, or a year.
    In part B, in place of present participle ‘spreading’ we should use past participle ‘spread’.
    In part C, we need to omit ‘be’ to rectify the structure ‘going to set’.

    The sentence talks about, several contemporary indirect ‘references’ to a certain person as a writer, which is said to add emphasis to the person’s life. Here, ‘reference’ and ‘allusions’ would be the correct fit.

Hence, the correct option for this question is A.

  1. I have realized some points through your blog post. One other thing I would like to say is that there are lots of games available and which are designed specially for toddler age little ones. They incorporate pattern acknowledgement, colors, family pets, and shapes. These commonly focus on familiarization instead of memorization. This makes little children engaged without having a sensation like they are studying. Thanks
