In each of the questions, a sentence is divided into five parts A, B, C, D and E in which two of the parts have some grammatical or contextual errors in them. You have to identify which pair among the given alternatives represents the parts that contain those errors. If none of the parts has any error, then mark option 5, i.e., ‘No error’ as your answer.Solution
C- Here, ‘been’ should be replaced with ‘being’, as ‘been’ would indicate something that happened in the past and doesn’t stand true anymore which is not the case here. E- LAC refers to the ‘Line’ of Actual Control, therefore the preposition ‘in’ makes the sentence contextually incorrect. ‘In’ should be replaced by ‘along’. Correct Sentence: While standoffs between India and China along the LAC have occurred in the past, the most significant being the one in Dokhlam three years ago, but this was the first time in over four decades that the two sides were involved in bloodshed along the LAC.
