    Speaker of the Lok Sabha said that unlike the House

    was in order he would not allow a discussion.
    A unlike the House was in order he will not allow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B unless the House was in order he would not allow Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    E No improvement required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here, ‘unlike’ is incorrect and should be replaced by ‘unless’. ‘Until’ is also correct, but ‘will’ is wrong, as, in reported speech, ‘would’ is correct. Speaker of the Lok Sabha said that unless the House was in order he would not allow a discussion.
