    A BD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B AD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C AB Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D BC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The error is part B and C of the sentence. In part 'B' use of 'since' is incorrect and needs to be replaced by 'but' as the sentence says that it was known that the disaster was going to be serious, the measures were taken though to mitigate its effect but the effects were still catastrophic. 'Since' means 'for the reason that, because' does not add meaning to the sentence. In part 'C' use of 'it's'( i.e. 'it is') is incorrect as the sentence will take the determiner 'its' which is used to indicate to something that has already been mentioned i.e. 'Amphan' in the sentence. Hence, the answer is option d).
