Now, the given sentence has used the future perfect tense which is used to denote any action will be finished by a particular time in future and is not perfect for this given context. Since it is an action that is going to take place in the future, the tense will be simple future tense The correct sentence would be: The Government will soon hold the bilateral talks with Russia regarding the civil nuclear agreement.

8) Answer: c)

The sentence is not grammatically correct since it is about the event that many of the friends of the person came to see him in order to give him congratulations on his success. The given phrasal verb called to does not imply this as it implies shouting to somebody to draw the attention. Among the given options, called off implies cancelled whereas called on refers to paying a visit to somebody. Other options are out of context and that is why they cannot be considered for this. The correct sentence would be: After my success in the JEE examination, many of my relatives called on me to congratulate and also to give best wishes for future

9) Answer: c)

Certain words are always used in singular number and no plural form is there for such words. Information is an example of such word that is used only in singular number. Hence, ‘informations’ is wrong usage in the given sentence. It is also always followed by singular verb and not plural verb. The correct sentence would be: The information provided by state’s secret sources turned out to be true

10) Answer: d)

If the committee members are unanimous regarding a decision, in that case, the committee is considered as a singular collective noun and a singular verb is used in the context. On the other hand, if a committee has members differing in their views regarding something, the plural form of the verb is used in that case In the given context, the committee members are differing in their opinions and therefore plural form of verb should be used. As the tense is correct in the sentence, the correct verb would have been ‘were’. The correct sentence would have been: The committee were divided in their opinion regarding the new regulations for the Special membership scheme.
