Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Ans.(b) Sol. (a) He did not attend the meeting, nor he informed anyone about his absence. Incorrect. Rule: After nor, subject-verb inversion is required (nor did he inform). Correct form: He did not attend the meeting, nor did he inform anyone about his absence.
(b) The new policy aims at improving efficiency across departments. Correct. Rule: aim at + gerund is correct usage.
(c) She is one of the student who always complete their homework. Incorrect. Rule: one of the students (plural noun after one of), and verb should agree with who referring to plural students → who always complete. But in the given sentence, student is singular, so wrong. Correct form: She is one of the students who always complete their homework.
(d) The company have decided to expand its operations abroad. Incorrect. Rule: Company is singular collective noun, takes singular verb (has). Correct form: The company has decided to expand its operations abroad.
(e) All are incorrect. Incorrect because option (b) is correct.
