Correct! The specific past time reference “In 2014” requires the simple past tense, not the present perfect tense. Therefore, “have demonstrated” should be replaced with “demonstrated.” Additionally, “elder” is typically used for family relationships, while “elderly” is the correct adjective for older people in general. Example: “In 2020, scientists discovered a new species.” (Not: “In 2020, scientists have discovered a new species.”) Question 19The accident was owing to heavy traffic.

Correct! While “owing to” is grammatically correct and means “because of,” “due to” is more commonly used and idiomatic in this context when directly following the verb “was.” Both can be used, but “due to” is preferred in formal usage after a linking verb. Example: “The delay was due to bad weather.” (preferred over “The delay was owing to bad weather.”) Question 20A recent report by Standard & Poor’s concluded that South Asia’s economies is the world’s most vulnerable—10 times more exposed to global-warming threats over the coming decades, the consultants estimated, than the least vulnerable countries, mostly in Europe.

✗ are the world's few insusceptible ✗ is the world's most resilient ✗ is the world's most quiet ✗ is the world's most liable
Your Selection:

Status:

Correct! The subject “South Asia’s economies” is plural, so the verb must be plural “are,” not “is.” The phrase “most vulnerable” is correct in meaning, but the given options require selecting the one with the correct verb form. “Are the world’s most accessible” is grammatically correct with the plural verb. Example: “The region’s economies are the most affected by climate change.” (Not: “The region’s economies is the most affected by climate change.”)
