    A 1-A, 2-D, 3-A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1-B, 2-D, 3-B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1-A, 2-D, 3-B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1-C, 2-A, 3-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 1-A, 2-C-3-C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The errors are in 1-B, 2-D and 3-B. In B of 1, replace the plural verb ARE with the singular IS, as the subject is ONE IN SIX WORKERS, which is singular. In D of 2, replace the adjective ENTIRE with the adverb ENTIRELY as it is being used to modify the adjective REMOTE. In B of 3, replace the second form verb LED with the base form verb LEAD as the modal verb COULD will take the base form of the main verb that follows it. Thus, (b) is the right answer.
