    Solution

    Checking A-E Gross domestic product for 2020-21 shrank by 7. 3% to Rs. 135. 12 lakh crore, india’s first annual economic increment was forecast but it was not as dire as initially expected. The sentence is absurd contextually as the start of the sentence implies GDP has shrunk by 7. 3% and therefore economic increment is out of question. Instead in the place of ‘increment’ we should use ‘contraction’ to makes sense with the first part. Therefore the correct sentence would be: Gross domestic product for 2020-21 shrank by 7. 3% to Rs. 135. 12 lakh crore, india’s first annual economic contraction was forecast but it was not as dire as initially expected. Checking B-D As preparations are made for the G7 summit in the UK, top of the agenda is what to end the Covid-19 pandemic and secure the global recovery. The sentence is grammatically and contextually incorrect with incorrect use of ‘what’ to express an open question. Instead the use of ‘how’ would make the usage correct. Therefore the correct sentence would be: As preparations are made for the G7 summit in the UK, top of the agenda is how to end the Covid-19 pandemic and secure the global recovery. Checking C-F Empathise with other people’s anxiety, but don’t make it a daily habit. The sentence is both grammatically and contextually correct. Therefore the correct answer is Option B.
