    A A & B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B B & E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C & E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D C & D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    B – Since the subject ‘farmers’ is plural, the verb used should be plural as well. So instead of ‘farmers has’, ‘farmers have’ should be used. E – Since the verb is already in the past tense with the use of ‘did’, only the present form of the verb should be used. So ‘did not slip into’ is the correct usage. Thus, the correct statement would be The Supreme Court on Thursday said farmers have a constitutional right to continue with their “absolutely perfect” protest as long as their dissent against the three controversial agricultural laws did not slip into violence.
