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.

On the occasion of his golden jubilee, the generous king Maharaja of Bikaner Ganga Singh, participated in the ancient Hindu TulaDaan ceremony whereby he sat on a large set of scales and was measured against gold bars, whose cash equivalent was then donated to the charitable Golden Jubilee Fund.

A) Both (1)-(5) and (4)-(8) B) (4)-(8)
C) (1)-(5) D) (3)-(7)
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) (3)-(7)

Explanation:

When a person sits on a scale, it is his weight against which the gold bars are measured. Also, we measure something with a scale, not against it.'Occasion' is a particular event or the time at which it takes place. 'Date' is the number of a day along with the month of the year specified by a number. Since no number is present, 'occasion' is correct. Wherein and whereby have the same meaning in the sentence and since none of the options mention the combination, it can be ignored. 'Equity' is the quality of being fair and impartial, which will not suit the sentence. Hence, the correct
answer is 4.
