In the following questions, a sentence is divided into

Solution

(a) "While the lanes branching in from the Charminar are officially designated as pedestrian zones,"  “branching in from” is awkward and not idiomatic.  “branching out from” is the conventional expression for roads or lanes extending away from a central point. (b) "handcarts, auto-rickshaws, and scooters operated with shopkeepers and even” "operated with shopkeepers" is incorrect — the right preposition is “by” (they are being operated by someone, not with them). (c) The subject “handcarts, auto-rickshaws, and scooters” is plural, so the verb should be “continue” (not "continues").
