    Solution

    1- ‘has been taken’ is incorrect. It should be ‘has been taking’. 3- here, ‘which’ should replace ‘who’. 4- the preposition ‘for’ should be replaced by ‘with’. The Government has been taking a number of measures to reach out to the Sikhs, a community which was perceived to be upset with the ruling government after three farm reform laws were enacted.
