Each sentence is followed by phrases (A), (B), (C) and (D). Find out which phrase should replace the phrase given in bold to correct the error, if there is any, and to make the sentence grammatically meaningful and correct.

    B unless the House was in order he would not allow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C until the House was in order he will not allow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D unsure the House was in order he would not allow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No improvement required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here, ‘unlike’ is incorrect and should be replaced by ‘unless’. ‘Until’ is also correct, but ‘will’ is wrong, as, in reported speech, ‘would’ is correct. Speaker of the Lok Sabha said that unless the House was in order he would not allow a discussion.
