    Solution

    II - The noun ‘abeyance’ should be preceded by the preposition ‘in’. While the government has been forthcoming on loan moratoria, holding insolvency proceedings in abeyance and even on encouraging assorted financing schemes involving bank funds, it has not been keen to step up its own expenditure. III - The sentence does not require ‘off’ which is an adverb but the preposition ‘of’. The government will bear the burden of the money lost by banks because of the waiver, the finance ministry said in the affidavit.
