Answers
1. There is a tussle between the two brothers.
'Among' is used when there are more than 2 people. For two people, the correct word is ' between'.
2. Afsar will meet me tomorrow, shan't he?
Or
Afsar will meet me tomorrow, won't he?
The question tag needs to be negative since the statement itself is positive.
3. One of my brothers lives in Canada.
The sentence needs to begin with a capital letter. Also 'one of' is always used with a plural word (like brothers).
4. As there was a probability of imposing a lockdown, the people thronged the market.
The tenses need to be consistent. So, the first 'is' becomes 'was'. The second 'is' needs to be 'of'.
Answer:
Find the error
1 There is a tussle among two brothers.
- There is a tussle between two brothers.
- 'Between' is a Compound Preposition : ( by + twain).
- It indicates middle of two people and 'two' is already mentioned here,so 'between' is correct not among. 'Among' is used for many.
2 Afsar will meet me tomorrow, shall he?
- Afsar will meet me tomorrow, won't he?
- Here 'won't he?' is a tail question.
3 one of my brother lives in Canada.
- One of my brothers lives in Canada.
- Given Sentence is talking about Plural Numbers (brothers = nouns) but it has only one Singular Number (brother = noun) and 'one of my' confirms that 'brothers' is right. 'One of' talks about plural njmber
4. As there is a probability is imposing lockdown the people thronged the market.
- As there was a probability of imposing lockdown, the people thronged the market.
- First 'is' will be 'was' because second part of the sentence 'the people thronged the market' has been written in Simple Past Tense, so its first part will also be written in simple past tense.
- 'Of' is a Simple Preposition and it has replaced second is to indicate 'about' imposing lockdown.
