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.
The condition of the hospital and its services reflecting on the inadequacy of Bihar's healthcare system, with patients usually increasing the number of beds available being treated on the floor, insipid food and long bill of medication and services.

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

Explanation:

Abilities belong to humans, not of institutions. The number of beds in a hospital are fixed. They cannot be increased beyond a certain limit. So, if the number of beds is less, the number of patients often exceed the number of beds. Insipid and tasteless are synonymous, so no change there. Both medication and medicine have bills, so, changing hem wouldn’t make a difference. Hence, the correct answer is 2.
