Answer:
(a) At Haridwar begins the milking of the Ganges,
(b) Canals take off in different directions, leaving just a trickle.
(c) In the main stream. One canal is used to generate electricity.
(d) Another goes to irrigate thirsty flatlands of UP.
(e) The water of these canals or that running in taps is not
(f) sacred; that privilege is reserved only for the main river.
Explanation:
(a) At Haridwar begin the milking of the Ganges, here in this sentence begin is the incorrect word as the verb begin denotes starting something new.Whereas the verb 'begins' shows the beginning of the event.
(b) Canals take off in different directions, leave just a trickle, here in this sentence leave is the incorrect word as the verb is in present tense whereas the subject is in past tense.
(c) One canal is use to produce electric power, here in this sentence the incorrect word is use as it is in the present tense. Hence used is the correct word.
(d) another goes to irrigation thirsty flatlands of UP, here irrigation is the incorrect word as the other canals goes to irrigate the thirsty lands which in turn helps the irrigation of UP. Both words have different meaning.
(e) A water of these canals or that running in taps is not, here A water is incorrectly written due to the fact that water is an uncountable noun, "A" should not be used with it.
(f) sacred; those privilege is reserved only for main river, here 'those' is incorrect as we use it when referring to a plural. But here we have a singular word so we use 'that'.
