The correct answer is '3' i.e. became aware of .

Key Points

• The sentence discusses a past event, "as the news of the atomic attack reached Einstein," which requires the verb to be in the past tense.
• The phrase "he is becoming" is in the present continuous tense and is grammatically incorrect in this context, as the sentence refers to a completed action in the past.
• The correct substitution is "became aware of," as it aligns the tense with the past narrative of the sentence.
• Using "became aware of" accurately conveys that Einstein realised the gravity of the situation at a specific point in the past.

Correct sentence: As the news of the atomic attack reached Einstein, he became aware of the glaring horror of the abuse of atomic energy.

Additional Information

• Tense Consistency: It is crucial to maintain consistency in tense usage within a sentence to avoid grammatical errors.
• Present Continuous vs. Past Simple: The present continuous ("is becoming") is used for actions happening at the moment of speaking, while the past simple ("became") is used for actions completed in the past.
• Other options explained:
  • Option 1: "become the awareness" is grammatically incorrect and does not make sense in the context of the sentence.
  • Option 2: "No substitution required" is incorrect because the original phrase "he is becoming aware of" does not fit the past context.
  • Option 4: "will be aware of" is in the future tense and does not match the past context of the sentence.

Key Points

• The primary issue in the sentence is the subject-verb agreement.
• The subject "food restrictions and loneliness" is a compound subject and requires a plural verb.
• The correct phrase should be "are on the rise" to ensure grammatical correctness.

Additional Information

• Is on the rise – This option is incorrect due to the subject-verb agreement error.
• Was on the rise – This option is incorrect as it uses the past tense, while the sentence is in the present tense.
• Is in the rise – This option is incorrect due to the incorrect preposition "in" instead of "on".
• No correction required – This option is incorrect as there is an error in the original sentence.

The correct answer is '1' i.e. Needs a road map to expand .

Key Points

• The subject of the sentence is "The government," which is singular and requires the singular verb form "needs."
• The phrase "need a road map to expand" should be "needs a road map to expand" to maintain subject-verb agreement.
• The correct form is "to expand," which is the base form of the verb following "to" in the infinitive form.

Correct sentence: The government needs a road map to expand the direct tax pie by using a more proactive Big Data-driven approach to target evaders.

Additional Information

• Subject-Verb Agreement:
  • Ensure that the verb matches the subject in number (singular/plural).
  • Example: "The committee (singular) recommends (singular) a new policy."
• Infinitive Form:
  • Use the base form of the verb following "to" in the infinitive.
  • Example: "to eat," "to play," "to expand."

Key Points

• The verb form must agree with the subject "Cameras," which is plural.
• The correct verb form for plural subjects is "need to survive."
• "Need to survived" is incorrect because "survived" is the past tense form.

Additional Information

• A: "Cameras used in space," – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.
• C: "extreme conditions, like temperature swings from -149° to 248°F." – This part of the sentence is grammatically correct and does not require any changes.

The correct answer is 'have assured'.

Key Points

• The given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'have assured' should be used instead of 'are assured'.
• The given sentence is in the active voice hence the use of 'are assured' is completely out of context
• The present perfect tense is used to discuss something that happened at a non-specific time before now.
• It may have been moments ago, already, several times, or so far.
• This verb form is made with has/have + past participle. 
  • Example: The teacher has helped the class understand geometry.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.
   

Correct Sentence: The authorities have assured the people that they will look into the matter.

The correct answer is plan to pursue. 

Key Points

• Pursue should be used in place of pursuing.
• After the verb "plan", we should use an infinitive verb (to + base form of the verb) to express intention or a future course of action.
• The infinitive form of the verb 'pursue' is 'to pursue'.
• Thus, the most appropriate option that can substitute the underlined segment in the given sentence is option 2. 

The correct answer is 'going out'.

Key Points

• The underlined part in the given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• "I fancy" needs a noun/object complement
• Thus, participle will be used as the noun complement, which is also termed as 'gerund'.
• Here, 'going out' should be used instead of 'to go out'.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 4.
   

Correct Sentence: I don't fancy going out this evening.

The correct answer is- 'denied helping'
Key Points

• Use 'denied helping' in place of 'denied to help' 
• We know that the verb 'Deny' always take gerund after it so we'll use 'helping' instead of 'to help'
• A gerund is the –ing form of a verb that functions the same as a noun.
  • Example: 'Running is fun' (In this sentence, “running” is the gerund. It acts just like a noun)

Hence the correct sentence is- David denied helping William.

Additional Information

• 'avoid, celebrate, consider, contemplate, defer, delay, detest, dislike, dread, enjoy, entail, escape, excuse, finish, forgive, involve, keep' these verbs used always gerund after it.

The correct answer is: went on the rampage

Key Points

• The verb "went" is more appropriate than "played", "ran", or "strolled" because it conveys a sense of purposeful movement.
• "On the rampage" is an idiomatic expression meaning to behave violently or destructively.
• The sentence is in the past tense, so the correct form of the verb is "went" instead of "go".

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.

Corrected sentence: The mob went on the rampage and looted several shops in the locality. 

Additional Information

• "played on the rampage" does not accurately convey the seriousness of the situation and is not a commonly used phrase.
• "ran on the rampage" could be used in certain contexts but does not fit well in this sentence.
• "strolled on the rampage" is completely inappropriate as it suggests a leisurely walk rather than violent behaviour.

The correct answer is looking forward to participating.

Key Points

• The phrase 'look forward to' means 'to await something eagerly'.
• In this phrase 'to' is a preposition, not a part of the infinitive.
• As a preposition is usually followed by a noun, the V₁ + ing form should be used.
  • Example: She is looking forward to meeting you.
• According to the rule and the example that is given above, 'looking forward to participating' will be used in the underlined part of the sentence.   

Correct sentence - I am looking forward to participating in the international conclave. 

• You may think that the correct answer should be 'looking forward to participate' but the given answer is correct. It is because of the following reasons:-
• 'Look forward to' something means to be pleased or excited that it is going to happen.
• The ‘to’ in look forward to is a preposition, so we must follow it by a noun phrase or a verb in the -ing form.
• A gerund is a verbal ending in -ing that functions as a noun.
  • For example: “Do you mind my borrowing these supplies?”
  • At a quick glance, borrowing could easily be labeled as a verb. However, when working as a gerund, borrowing is now a noun.
• You cannot have the infinitive form of the verb “to participate” as a noun.
   

Additional Information

• With the following phrases, ‘V1 + ing’ is used after ‘to’.
  • used to, accustomed to, averse to, object to, given to, owing to, prone to, taken to, in addition to, look forward to, addicted to, with a view to.
  • Example: He is given to smoking.
  • Example: She is prone to getting late every day.

The correct answer is: out delivering

Key Points

• The error lies in the use of the verb form.
• Replace "deliver" with "delivering" to correct the sentence.
• The sentence says, While Santa Claus is not out distributing presents for Christmas, he stays at the North Pole.
• So, the sentence is talking about action (delivery of the gifts).
• When we are talking about a performing action the verb should be always in the '-ing' form.
• So, "out delivering" should be used here.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

Corrected sentence: Santa Claus stays at the North Pole when he isn’t out delivering gifts for Christmas.

Here, the correct answer is "that I might succeed."

Key Points

• The error in the original sentence is the use of "might success."
• The correct form is "might succeed."
• Structure: Subject + might + V1+ Object
  • Example: She might call you.
• "Succeed" is the appropriate verb form following "might" to express possibility or potential success.
• The correct answer is option 3.

Correct sentence: I worked hard so that I might succeed.

The correct answer is 'Would you be'.

Key Points

• The underlined part in the given sentence is grammatically incorrect.
• Here, 'Would you be' should be used instead of 'Would you have been'.
• We generally use the modal verb ‘would’ when we want to politely request someone for something. Hence, option 4 is incorrect.
  • For example: Would you bring me a cup of coffee?
• Also, 'would' is a modal. A modal is always followed by the V1 form of verb.
  • For example: Would you do it?
• Only 'be' among the options is in the V1 form. The rest of the verbs in the other options are not in the V1 form.
• Hence, 'would you be' is the correct segment that must be used.
• Thus, the correct answer is Option 3.
   

Correct Sentence: Would you be so kind as to close the window?

The correct answer is- couldn't help but notice.

Key Points

• ​Let's have a look at the modal formations given below:
  • Can/could not help + V1 + ing
  • Can/could not help + but + V1​
• ​Both of the phrases mean to have a compulsion to do something that is too strong to ignore or avoid.
• ​Example:
  • ​​My cousin can't help but meddling in my life.
  • My cousin can't help but meddle in my life.
• In the underlined part of the given question, 'couldn't help but notice' will be used as per the rule given above.
   

Correct Sentence: We couldn't help but notice the gathering of cars near the trailhead we had left behind.

 ​​​​Additional Information  

• ​​​These expressions are used in their original form without any alteration.
