Answer 2

Answer:

Unseen passage

a) Error- a Correction- an

b) Error- women  Correction- woman

c) Error- an    Correction- the

   Services   Correction- Service

d) Error- which  Correction- who

e) Error- whole hearted  Correction- wholehearted

f) Error- serve  Correction- serving

Explanation:

This unseen passage contains a few grammatical errors as follows:

a) Kiran Bedi is truly a icon of heroism.- incorrect article used.

Since the beginning of the word 'icon' sounds like a vowel, it should be "an" instead of "a".

b) She was the first women to join- incorrect verb agreement.

most nouns have a singular and plural form. Words such as one, many or these can affect when used in the singular or plural form. Here She defines the single subject for which 'woman' should be used instead of 'women'.

c) an Indian Police Services. She is one of - incorrect article used.

It should be a definite article 'the' instead of 'an'.

And IPS stands for 'Indian Police Service' not Indian Police Services.

d) the most famous Police Officers which -  since it refers to all those famous police officers, 'which' should be 'who'.

e) have put in their whole hearted effort - whole hearted is misspelt. It is wholehearted.

f) in serve the society.- When a preposition is immediately followed by a verb, the verb must be in gerund form ending with -ing. So it should be 'serving' instead of 'serve'.

Hence replacing the errors with their respective corrections, the unseen passage can be written as follows-

Kiran Bedi is truly an icon of heroism. She was the first woman to join

the Indian Police Service. She is one of the most famous Police Officers who have put in their wholehearted effort in serving the society.
