Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (A)
Statements C and E are correct.
There is no need of the word ‘to’ between ‘returned’ and ‘home’ in sentence A.
In statement B, the correct use of the phrase is ‘hands on’ and not ‘hand on’.
In statement D, there should be a hyphen or comma after the word Shaliach ( a Shaliach – a sort of recruiter to Minneapolis.).
2) Answer (E)
The usage of the word “so” is inappropriate => A is wrong
“Assuming hypothetically” is redundant => Only one of the words can be used here.=> C is wrong.
“a temporary stimulus” is the correct phrase => D is wrong.
“long term” is the correct phrase and not “longer-term” => E is wrong.
Hence, only B is correct
3) Answer (C)
In sentence A, the word “said” must be used instead of “told”. Sentence B is correct.
In sentence C, ‘handed to us’ should be replaced with ‘handed down to us’. Sentence D is correct.
In sentence E, ‘hence’ should be replaced with ‘but’ or some other conjunction that is similar in meaning to ‘but’.
So, only B and D are correct.
4) Answer (A)
Statement A is incorrect because of the wrong spelling ‘immigrant’. The correct spelling is ‘immigrant’.
Statement B is correct.
Statement C is incorrect because of the absence of commas after brother-in-law and David Stern.
Statement D is incorrect because of the absence of the article ‘a’ before ‘dry goods business’.
The error in statement E is ‘would later became’. It should be ‘would later become’.
5) Answer (D)

Statement B is wrong because of the use of the word ‘their’. It should’ve been ‘its’.
Statement C is wrong because of the presence of a comma after the word concerns. There is no need of a comma there.
Statement D is correct.
Statement E is wrong because of the wrong article before the word ‘industry’. It should’ve been ‘an industry leader’.
6) Answer (D)

Statement E should be ‘The death count has just begun’.
So, the answer is option d).
7) Answer (E)
Statements A and D have no errors. Statement B is wrong because it is in the present tense whereas the passage as a whole is in the past tense. Similarly, C is wrong because of the use of present tense in the word ‘seem’. The correct usage in this context is ‘seemed’. In statement E, the article ‘an’ should precede the word ‘effort’.
