ANSWERS
Q1.(C) Replace 'Uphold' with 'upheld'. Has is used with the third form of the verb.

Q3.(A) Replace 'During' with 'in'. During is used to show a period of time. 'In' is used to show the parts of a day (Morning, evening).
Q4.(2) Write 'that' in place of who. Who as a relative pronoun is used to refer to persons. We are talking of a disease here so that should be used to refer to it.
Q5.(C) Replace is with are. The helping verb here is being used for allegations. So a plural verb is required here.
Q6.(B) We are referring to Centre here which is a singular noun, so a singular pronoun should be used for it.
Q7.(C) any of is used when we talk of more than two persons, either is used for two things/persons.
Q8.(B) The first Indian woman.
In the sentence we are talking about a single person so woman should be written women is the plural of woman.
Q9.(A) It is a pity for should be used here.
Q10.(B) is still poor scenario is a singular noun so a singular verb should be used with it.
For other options-
is still poorest is incorrect here as poorest is the superlative degree of the adjective poor, which is used to show the best or worst of something where as a positive degree of an adjective is used to show a fact or just a statement.
