Answer: B

Explanation:

‘More than one’ in a sentence is always followed by a singular noun and singular verb. So, replace ‘have’ with ‘has’ in the second part of the sentence.

Answer: A

Explanation:

Although some nouns like news, statistics, and politics are plural in appearance, they are singular in meaning and thus followed by a singular verb. So, in the first part of this sentence ‘were’ will be replaced by ‘was’.

Answer: C

Explanation:

If two different subjects are joined by ‘either’ or ‘neither and nor’ the verb agrees with the subject near to it. As the subject (principal), which is near the verb, is singular, the verb will be singular, so replace ‘were’ with ‘was’, e.g., was present in the function.

Answer: C

Explanation:

The word ‘cope’ generally means to deal successfully with a situation. The use of ‘up’ with ‘cope’ is superfluous. So, remove ‘up’ from the third part of this sentence, e.g., cope with the exam stress.

Answer: B

Explanation:

The words like illustrate, demonstrate or describe are immediately followed by an object. So, remove ‘about’ from the second part of the sentence, e.g., amply illustrate the loopholes in our security system.
