Q. No. 5:

Of all the oppressions which the rich are guilty of, there seems to be none more impudent and unjust than their endeavour to rob the poor of a little which is most clearly the property of the latter. B). Of all the oppressions which the rich is guilty of, there seems to be
none more impudent and unjust than their endeavour to rob the poor of
little which is most clearly the property of the latter. C). Of all the oppressions which the rich are guilty of, there seem to be
none more impudent and unjust than their endeavour to rob the poor of
little which is most clearly the property of the latter. D). Of all the oppressions which the rich is guilty of, there seem to be
none more impudent and unjust than their endeavour to rob the poor of a
little which is most clearly the property of the latter.
Answer: A In statement B and D "the rich is" is the error. The correction is the 'the rich are' because reference is to the people belonging to a particular class. It takes the plural verb. Again in the sentence B,C and D the second error is 'little', it should be 'a little' because 'little' means 'hardly any'. In statement C and D the verb is not in agreement with the subject. In C and D both the words 'there seems to be....' are erroneous. The correction is 'there seems to be...' because the subject here is 'none' which is singular. Hence only 'A' is the correct choice.
Q. No. 6:
Identify the correct sentence:- A). It has been well said that the highest aim of education is analogous to the highest aim in mathematics, namely, to obtain not only results but also powers, not particular solutions but the means by which endless solutions may be wrought. B). It has been well said that the highest aim of education is analogous to
the highest aim of mathematics, namely, to obtain not results but powers, not particular solutions but means by which endless
solutions may be wrought. C). It has been well said that the highest aim of education is analogous to
the highest aim in mathematics, namely to obtain not only results but
also powers, not particular solutions but means by which endless
solutions may be wrought. D). It has been well said that the highest aim in education is analogous to
the highest aim in mathematics, namely, to obtain not results but powers, not particular solutions but the means by which endless
solutions may be wrought.
Answer: D In statement A and C, the first error is the 'highest aim of education'. The correction is the 'highest aim in education'. the preposition used should be 'in'. In sentence B and C the words 'not only results but also powers' changes the intended meaning. The intended meaning is the 'the highest aim in education is not to obtain results but powers.'. In both B and C the definite articles 'the' is not used before the word 'means'. 'The mean' is appropriate because it refers to the particular means through which endless solutions may be obtained.
