B. B

Option (b) contains an error. The error lies in "has received", which is singular. The subject of the sentence is “Neither the supervisor nor the workers”. According to subject-verb agreement rules, when “neither...nor” is used, the verb agrees with the subject closer to it. Here, “workers” is plural and is placed closer to the verb, so the verb must be plural: “have received”. Grammatical rule used: In "Neither...nor" constructions, the verb must agree with the nearest subject (the one closer to the verb). Example: Neither the teacher nor the students have completed the project. Neither the students nor the teacher has completed the project. Booster: This proximity rule also applies to “either…or”, “not only… but also” in subject-verb agreement.

E. No replacement required

The original sentence is correct and uses a structure called inversion in conditional sentences. Instead of writing, “If she were to disclose…”, it uses the inverted form “Were she to disclose…” for a formal, hypothetical condition. Grammatical rule used: In formal conditional sentences, we can omit “if” and invert the subject and auxiliary verb: If she were to disclose → Were she to disclose This is typically used to express unlikely or hypothetical future situations. Example: If he were to win → Were he to win, he’d donate half the prize. Booster: Other inverted forms: Had I known, I would have acted sooner. Should you need help, call me.

A. retain, inspire

The correct option to fill in the blank is (a) retain, inspire. ‘Retain’ means to continue to hold or maintain (बनाए रखना), and ‘inspire’ means to motivate or uplift (प्रेररत करना). The sentence highlights the lasting relevance and motivational effect of the teachings. Example: • His core values still retain significance. • Her courage inspires many young girls. Explain why other options are incorrect: Option (b): Attain – achieve (प्राप्त करना), Infuse – instill (भर देना) – grammatically awkward; teachings don’t "attain relevance". Option (c): Detain – hold back (रोकना), Revive – restore (पुनजीतवत करना) – incorrect tone. Option (d): Reclaim – regain (वापस लेना), Console – comfort (सांत्वना देना) – illogical pairing. Option (e): Preserve – protect (संरतित करना), Enlighten – educate spiritually (प्रबुद्ध करना) – nearly correct, but not as precise as (a).

C. DCAB

The correct answer is: (c) DCAB Explanation of the Sequence (DCAB): Step 1 – Identify the subject: "The school principal" (D) is clearly the subject of the sentence. This must come first. Step 2 – Identify the main verb/action: "Announced a new policy" (C) is the main action performed by the subject, so it follows next. Step 3 – Identify the purpose clause: "For improving" (A) indicates the reason or purpose of the new policy, so it comes after the action. Step 4 – Identify the object of the purpose clause: "Student discipline" (B) is the object, which directly follows "for improving". Final Reconstructed Sentence: The school principal announced a new policy for improving student discipline. This sentence is clear, grammatically correct, and contextually meaningful.
