Explanations:
1. The original sentence is incorrect.
Reason: There are two errors in the bold phrase.
1st. Instead of ‘to using’, the infinitive ‘to use’ should be used here.
2nd. In the sentence, the writer refers to the subject ‘magnetics’ and not the adjective ‘magnetic’.
Therefore, ‘magnetic’ should be replaced by ‘magnetics’ to make it a meaningful sentence.
Therefore, among the given choices option B replaces the bold part most appropriately.
The sentence after replacement becomes:
Researchers have developed a process to use magnetics with brain-like networks to program and
teach devices.
Option B is hence the correct answer.
2. The original sentence is absolutely correct and needs no correction.
Option E is hence the correct answer.
Reason:
1st. As we can observe that the sentence is made in present tense, usage of past form ‘disturbed’ is
erroneous here. Instead of ‘disturbed’, ‘disturbs’ (because the subject is singular) should be used here.
2nd. ‘Conscious’ means ‘aware of and responding to one's surroundings’ and the word doesn’t make
any sense in the context of the sentence. Instead of it, the noun ‘conscience’ that means ‘a person's
moral sense of right and wrong, viewed as acting as a guide to one's behaviour’ should be used here.
Ex. He had a guilty conscience about his desires.
Therefore, among the given choices option D replaces the bold part most appropriately.
Poverty is too much with us and its presence across vast stretches of our country disturbs our
conscience.
Option D is hence the correct answer.

Reason:
1st. The phrase ‘For decades’ and not ‘for decade’ is used to denote a very long time. Therefore,
‘decade’ must be replaced by ‘decades’ here.
2nd. As the verb ‘make’ is used in its plural form, it’s clear that the subject has to be plural too.
Therefore, the noun ‘company’ must be replaced by ‘companies’ here.
3rd. As we need a restrictive relative pronoun in the given case, ‘that’ should be used in place of ‘which’
here.
Therefore, among the given choices option C replaces the bold part most appropriately.
For decades companies that make soap, lotions and perfumes have relied on a chemical called
Bourgeonal.
Option C is hence the correct answer.
5. The original sentence is erroneous.
Reason: The sentence implies a contradiction of thoughts and therefore usage of 'and as a conjunction
is absurd here. Instead, a conjunction that implies the same context should be used.
Among the given choices, only option C replaces the given bold part most appropriately.
As far as I know them, they all are atheist yet they observe fast during the Navratre.
Reason: In the context of the sentence the phrasal verb 'take out' that implies 'to remove something
from a pocket, bag etc' seems absurd. Instead of 'take out', 'take off' which means ' to remove
something, especially a piece of clothing' should have been used.
Among the given choices, only option B replaces the given bold part most appropriately.
Whenever you enter someone else's living room, good manners suggest that you should take off your
shoes.
Option B is hence the correct answer.
Reason: As we can observe the usage of 'than' in the sentence, we can infer that the sentence is made
in comparative degree. Therefore, instead of 'quite' 'more' should be used.
There is nothing more depressing than low level of unemployment in India.
Reason: The verb 'broadcast' stays similar in its 'past' as well pas 'past participle' forms. Therefore,
usage of 'broadcasted' is erroneous here.
Among the given choices, only option D replaces the given bold part most appropriately.
All the matches of Cricket World Cup will be broadcast on Start Cricket.
Option D is hence the correct answer.
Reason: In the context of the sentence the phrasal verb 'come out' which means 'to become known' is
not appropriate. Instead of it, 'come round' which means 'to recover consciousness' should have been
used.
Ex. I'd just come round from a drunken stupor.
Among the given choices, only option A replaces the given bold part most appropriately.
After a few hours the kids who fell from the second floor of the building began to come round.
Option A is hence the correct answer.

Reason: As the principal clause is made in Past Indefinite Tense, usage of ‘is’ as be verb in the bold part
become ungrammatical.
Besides, in indirect speech a W/H word which is used to start a question becomes relative pronoun and
an interrogative sentence changes into an affirmative sentence.
Ex. I know what is your name. (Incorrect)
Ex. I know what your name is. (Correct)
He did not mention how old he was or what his gender was.
