    Question

     In each of the questions, a sentence is divided into

    five parts A, B, C, D and E in which two of the parts have some grammatical or contextual errors in them. You have to identify which pair among the given alternatives represents the parts that contain those errors. If none of the parts has any error, then mark option 5, i.e., ‘No error’ as your answer. From politicians involved  (A)/  in the upcoming elections  (B)/  to the administrators,  (C)/  many have now being  (D)/  infected of the deadly virus  (E) .
    A A & D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B D & E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C C & D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D B & E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No Error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    D- As is evident from the complete sentence, we are being informed about an occurrence that has already taken place in the recent past; Thus, the verb ‘have’ will be correctly followed by ‘been’. ‘Being’ is a present participle that usually represents a present happening, thus stands incorrect. E- The verb ‘infected’ will be correctly followed by the preposition ‘with’. Correct Sentence: From politicians involved in the upcoming elections to the administrators, many have now  been  infected  with  the virus.
