Question
Directions: In the following questions, two sentences
divided into two parts each, are given. Any two of these parts have grammatical errors. Choose the alternative consisting of the initials of the grammatically wrong parts. If both the sentences are grammatically correct, choose option ‘e’, i.e., No error. I. New Delhi and Beijing are engaging in high-level talks for defuse (A)/ recent border tensions in the Himalayan region. (B) II. The two Asian giants have been locked in a standoff around (C)/ their disputed border for over a year, raising concerns of a potential military conflict. (D)Solution
It should be "to defuse" instead of "for defuse." The corrected sentence would be, "New Delhi and Beijing are engaging in high-level talks to defuse recent border tensions in the Himalayan region." "Standoff around" is not the most accurate expression. The correct version should be "standoff along" or "standoff at" to better convey the idea of a dispute occurring along the border. Therefore, the corrected sentence would be: "The two Asian giants have been locked in a standoff along their disputed border for over a year, raising concerns of a potential military conflict."
