If the sentence is free from error, click the ‘No error’ option. It is increasingly becoming (A)/ clear as the frequency of Indian and Chinese navies (B)/ brushing past each other in the Indian Ocean is set to rise. (C)/ No error (D) Correct Answer B

The error is in part B of the sentence.

The error lies due to wrong ‘conjunction’ used in this part of the sentence. ‘as’ must be replaced with ‘that’. ‘as’ is used as a conjunction ‘to state the reason for something’, whereas ‘that’ as a conjunction is used for ‘introducing a subordinate clause expressing a statement or hypothesis’.

Since in this sentence, no reason is being stated, therefore ‘as’ should not be used.  The subordinate clause is introduced, hence ‘that’ must be used.

Correct sentence- ‘It is increasingly becoming clear that the frequency of Indian and Chinese navies brushing past each other in the Indian Ocean is set to rise.’

The question given below consists of a statement, followed by three arguments I, II and III. You have to decide which of the arguments is/are ‘strong’ arguments, is/are ‘weak’ arguments and accordingly choose your answer from the alternatives given below each question. Statement: Over the past five decades, term deposits in banks have emerged as the primary instrument of financial savings for the average Indian after former premier Indira Gandhi embarked on a mission to nationalise the lenders - 14 in the first tranche - on a rainy afternoon in July 1969. Coming with an unsaid sovereign guarantee of sorts, fixed deposits (FDs) seemingly offered investors liquidity - and safety - as nationalisation sought, in part, to arrest the 40-odd bank failures a year.  Now, however, deposits must burnish their allure to retain leadership status in an increasingly crowded financial marketplace that offers choice. Why? Arguments: I. If FDs are giving 7.5% and the effective tax rate is 10%, one gets close to 5-5.2% return. Similarly, in the case of FMP, if the rate is 7.5%, effective taxation comes to 10%, one gets 6.75%. It is higher than the effective returns on bank deposits.  II. People are becoming aware of more asset classes that offer better returns, and the quest for such assets became more pronounced after interest rates fell substantially over the past four years.  III. Savers are looking at mutual funds and provident funds for the higher return.
