    C No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D All 1, 2 & 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Only 1 & 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A- replace the indefinite article A with the definite THE, as the sentence talks of a specific need - the need for a civil society. 1 can replace A. B - no error. 2 is incorrect as the adjective GRADUAL should be used in place of the adverb GRADUALLY, as it is being used to modify the noun DECLINE. C - no error. 3 is incorrect as the adjective INFLEXIBLE should be used in place of the adverb INFLEXIBLY as it is being used to modify the noun ELEMENTS. Only 1 needs to be replaced, which makes (a) the right answer.
