Answer 1

The idiot box is increasingly pushing the bookshelf out of the homes even in regions that have a high literacy rate and a long tradition of libraries. According to the findings of a sample survey, an average Keralite now spends 90 minutes on cable television and 60 minutes on reading books.​

Explanation:

• The first error is in the use of the word 'increase'. The correct word will be 'increasingly'.
• The second error is in the use of the demonstrative pronoun. Instead of 'where', the pronoun 'that' will be used.
• The third error is in the incorrect use of the article. The indefinite article 'an' will be used.
• The fourth error is in the use of the verb 'spend'. The correct word will be 'spends'.
