    B if the Court took note of the attempts to use the incident Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C for electoral propaganda and restrained Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D political parties in the resort to needless rhetoric Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The preposition ‘in’ in D is incorrect. It should be ‘from’. ‘restrain from something’ is correct. It would be in the fitness of things if the Court took note of the attempts to use the incident for electoral propaganda and restrained political parties from the resort to needless rhetoric.
