There is no grammatical  error in the sentences .

Liquid:litre. Distance is measured by a mile and the liquid is measured the by litre. 
So the answer will be A.

The synonym of BARE is UNCOVERED.

The given paragraph is regarding the fact that in a startup setup it is not at all necessary to follow any set of norms. The main thing is that you have to show results according to your own flexible timetable and discipline. That is why it can be said that in startup companies it is not about norms but it is mainly about performance.

Now coming to the given words, we can see that attest implies ratifying something or confirming something officially whereas abate implies decease something. These two words are not correct as per the given context and can be eliminated. Reject is also not correct. There is only one word that can be used in all the three blanks and it will make the whole paragraph meaningful. The concerned word is adhere that means abide by or obey something. This is our correct pick.

This makes Option B the correct choice among the given options. 

In the given context we are talking about something that will cover against any default in the home loans in case of untimely death of the borrowers. It is going to be a cover against any kind of unforeseen circumstances during the currency of the loan. Only insurance cover will be able to cover against such issues. Therefore, the correct word would be insurance whereas the rest cannot be used since they do not imply the correct meaning of the given sentence.  

This makes Option C the correct choice among the given options.

To be above board: business agreement which is honest and not trying to deceive anyone.

Among the given option, only 'full' can precede 'of' in the sentence to make it meaningful.

The bold word "boost" means to enhance or advance. Synonyms: Raise, Magnify, Uplift Antonyms: Impede, Reduce, Decrease Thus , clearly option A impede(to hinder) expresses the opposite meaning of the given sentence.

Hence option A is correct. 

Don’t shout at anyone without rhyme or reason.

The word 'bind' means 'to tie or stick together'.
So, option 3 is the correct answer as the 'secret' ties the people together.

Kylian Mbappe, who __________ 19 became the youngest to score in the World Cup final since Pele, showed glimpses of his extraordinary potential; he now looks set __________ greater things.

The first blank is right before a number that denotes age.

The preposition ‘at’ perfectly fits the blank. The preposition ‘at’ is always used before age.

This eliminates A and B.

‘For’ aptly fills the 2nd blank.

“Set off” and “set in” does not make any sense here.

‘Set off’ means= begin a journey/ to put in action an event or a series of events

‘Set in’ means= (of something unpleasant or unwelcome) begin and seem likely to continue

Hence, option D is the correct answer.

The company hopes that its initiative will provide a major source of revenue, ________ fears over the impact of placing thousands of satellites _________ orbit.

If we read the sentence carefully, we can infer that the company is positive about its initiative though there are fears over the impact of an action. Evidently, the preposition that best suits for the blank 1 is 'despite' or 'inspite of'. This eliminates options B, C and E.

For the blank 2, the most appropriate preposition is 'in' as satellites are placed 'in' orbit. 

Option A is hence the correct answer.

B serves as the introductory statement to the passage. It gives an overall idea of how much natural sciences have been neglected in India in the last 50 years. C follows B as, in C, the neglect hinted at in B is further detailed upon. C highlights that people who have no knowledge with respect to subject of nutrition are having a good time by taking advantage of people. D would follow C as D ends with 'in such cases'. This means some cases must have been highlighted in the previous statement. Thus, in cases where people do not know much about nutrition and take advantage of the public, physicians are brought into contact with certain symptoms. Finally, A concludes the passage as it starts with 'But these maybe . . .' Here, 'these' refers to the symptoms mentioned in D and states that these symptoms very often pass unnoticed for quite a long time by those who have had no scientific training. Thus, BCDA is the correct sequence.

The word 'captious' means 'an often ill-natured inclination to stress faults and raise objections'.
So, option (d) is the correct answer.

The presence of 'not' suggests that a positive word is required. The view will not be praiseworthy or flattering. The clue can be found in the line, "...'rustic' has the civility to 'waive off' such 'reckless' opinions." This suggests the opinions are not good or flattering.

The sentence is certainly not correct in its present form and some change is required to be carried out in this statement. Therefore, option E can be ruled out from our consideration.

Here, if we see option A, with the interchanging of B-D, it will not make any sense and therefore, there is no need to check the other pair given in this option. This option can be eliminated. Coming to option B, it is not correct also. If we check C, it is correct as with this, we are getting a meaningful sentence and it may be said that this pair will be there in our correct choice. There is another option with this pair i.e. Option D. But, if we carry out the interchanging of the pair B-C, it will not make any sense. Hence, it cannot be our choice. This means only A-D should be interchanged.

The correct statement would be:

Since the liberalisation of capital flows in 1991, India has always faced a current account deficit but inflows of capital have allowed the country to have a stable balance of payments (BoP).

This makes option C the correct choice among the given options.

• Exquisite and unique together becomes redundant. The religious and the secular is parallel (both adjectives).
• In unique, U is a vowel word, but in this U sound as " yoo" or "you" which is consonant sound. So, unique is not starting with a vowel sound, using "an" ahead of it will be wrong.

“Having to” implies that one has to do something. In the given sentence, “to” is not needed. Hence, having to should be replaced by having. 

A prima facie case is the establishment of a legally required rebuttable presumption. A prima facie case is a cause of action or defense that is sufficiently established by a party's evidence to justify a verdict in his or her favor, provided such evidence is not rebutted by the other party.

The correct option is D.
A person has to contact the municipal department for getting any job done. So contacting is the most suitable word.

‘Purdah’ is the practice in certain Muslim and Hindu societies of screening women from men or strangers, especially by means of a curtain.
Thus it deprives a woman's freedom. 
Deprives means  to take something, especially something necessary or pleasant, away from someone.

► Correctly spelt: Accommodation
► Meaning: Accommodation means a room, group of rooms or building in which someone may live or stay.

 If something is on the wane, it is becoming weaker or less.

This statement is wrong: Is free now from the narrow vested interests

Correct Statement will be: Is now free from the narrow vested interests.

Bill has been absent for 3 weeks so he'll have to CATCH UP ON his work.

Answer:

Introduction:

In order to make a profit in any business, it is important to take certain actions or factors into consideration. This question asks which of the given options is desirable in order to achieve profitability.

Risk:

• Taking risks is an essential part of any business strategy.


• By taking calculated risks, businesses can seize new opportunities and potentially increase their profits.


• However, it is important to note that not all risks will lead to profit, and some may result in losses.


• Nevertheless, without taking risks, it is difficult for a business to grow and succeed.


• Therefore, risk is a desirable factor in order to make a profit in business.

Other Options:

• Advice: While seeking advice from experienced individuals or professionals can be beneficial, it is not the sole factor that guarantees profitability in business.


• Loan: While obtaining a loan can provide financial resources, it does not guarantee profitability. The success of a business depends on various factors beyond just access to capital.


• Recourse: Recourse refers to the legal right to demand payment or compensation. While it may be useful in certain situations, it is not directly tied to profitability in business.


• Perseverance: Perseverance is an important trait for entrepreneurs, but it alone does not guarantee profitability. Other factors such as market demand, competitive advantage, and financial management are also critical.

Conclusion:

Among the given options, taking risks is the most desirable factor in order to make a profit in business. While other factors such as advice, loans, recourse, and perseverance are important, they are not directly linked to profitability.

 In option A, “wrecked” is grammatically incorrect because it uses the past participle form of verb as well as does not fit the context.

In option B, week is contextually incorrect.

In option C, “exist” is exactly opposite to what is being required. RBI is a governing authority and it would try to maintain discipline rather than removing it. 

Both the words of option D suit the context as well as fulfill the grammar rules.

Hence option D is correct.

It is clear from the context of this sentence that the government has put forward in the budget a proposal that will discourage cash transactions in the high value segment. The banks will be able to penalize the customers doing so going forward. The weapon given to the banks is the implementation of TDS on high value cash transactions. Among the given words, we can use the word empowered to indicate that the banks have been enabled to impose tax on cash transactions. Other words are eliminated because they do not imply the intended meaning.

This makes Option B the correct choice among the given options.
