Q:

In the following question, a sentence is given with some bold words which may contain errors. Below the sentence, a table is given with two columns in which column 'A' contains the list of bold words, and in column 'B' the suggested corrections are listed. You have to choose the best alternative among the four given options. If no correction is required against the given bold words, mark (E), i.e., "None of the above" as your answer.
A warm story of humility and forgiveness comes from the US city of Fort Smith where a Masjid not only forgave the young man who vandalised the mosque but also helped pay his fine so that he doesn't get charged to jail and his future is saved.

A) Both (1)-(5) and (4)-(8) B) (2)-(6)
C) (1)-(5) D) (4)-(8)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Both (1)-(5) and (4)-(8)

Explanation:

Scepticism refers to doubt. The incident that is discussed in the sentence shows love and the positive side of a human being. Thus 'humanity' is the appropriate word. Hence (1) should be replaced by (5). When a person is charged with a crime, a formal allegation (a statement not yet proven) of an offence is made. But the sentence says he was going to jail, which means the allegations have been
proved to be true. He has already been sentenced. Thus, (4) must be replaced by (8). Vandalised and destroyed are synonyms. Also, if the Masjid forgot about the boys, they wouldn’t have bothered to pay his fine. So, no changes in these two options. Hence, the correct answer is 1.
