SOLUTION 


1) Solution : The error is in (b) 

⚫Note -  'as well as' instead of 'as good as'. 
'As good as' is the positive degree of adjective 'good' while 'as well as' is the positive degree of adverb 'well' . Here to qualify the verb 'did', we need adverb.

2) Solution :The error is in (c)
⚫Note - 'Enter'  is not followed by into when it is used for a physical space(courtyard, room, place etc) . But when 'enter' is used for an agreement, we use 'into' after it. 

For example
We entered  an agreement. ❌
We entered into an agreement.✔️

3) Solution : b
Replace founded with found.
Found - discovered ,seen
Founded - established

4) No error

5) Change 'that' into 'when' because '2018 ' is a point of time.


6)The verb 'keep' is not used reflexively, omit yourself. 

7) Replace bent with bend

After such words - let,make ,bid ,hear,notice,help etc ,the first form of verb is used. 

8) Use 'as cheap as' instead of 'Cheaper than' 

⚫Note - No comparison is implied, when there is 'times' used for comparison. So positive degree is used. 


9) Again 'as high as' instead of 'higher than' 

10) use arrival of the train. 

11) Years' should be used in place of year's 

12) no error
🔹Tip - ' more than one ' takes singular noun and singular verb .

13) no error
'More.. than one' takes plural verb. 

15) 'was' intstead of 'were'. Singular subject 'it' will take singular verb. 

16) use  each other's in place of each other. 

17) Than those of should be used before 'Delhi'. 

18) Replace nobel with noble. 
Nobel - decent

19) No error

20) Replace 'well paid' with well paying.
