SPOT THE ERROR PART- 12

Afraid generally takes the preposition 'of' and not 'from'. Hence, 'afraid of' is the most appropriate structure.

We use the article 'a' before the words starting with a Consonant(B,D,F,N,etc.) for example, a dirty shirt, a neglected department, etc. However, the article 'an' is used before words starting with a vowel (A,E,I,O,U) for example, an educated person, an imminent danger, etc. Hence, 'a young (Consonant 'y') businessman' is the most appropriate structure.

If an Interrogative sentence(in which a question is asked) is written in the Indirect form(speech), then "Wh-word(why, when, where) + Subject + Verb" is grammatically the correct structure for it. Hence, 'why his(subject) score was (verb) low' is the most appropriate structure.

The article 'the' is used to refer to specific or particular nouns & articles 'a/an' are used to modify non-specific or non-particular nouns. For example, if someone says, "Let's buy the book," it means a specific book but if someone says, "Let's buy a book," it means any book rather than a specific book. Similarly, the given sentence talks about a specific mistake. Hence, 'the only mistake' is the most appropriate structure.

Stative verbs are those verbs which express a state of condition. They do not refer to a physical action. Sense and emotions like hear, smell, see, love, hate etc are different types of stative verbs. However, these verbs can't be used in (-ing form) for example, Hear, Smell (Correct) and Hearing, Smelling (Incorrect). Hence, 'I hear a strange noise' will be the answer.

The given sentence is grammatically correct.

The phrase 'so much' is used to mention a definite unknown quantity and 'much' is used with uncountable nouns. However, when we ask about someone's earning, we usually ask how much you earn and not how 'so much' you earn. Hence, 'Do you earn much' will be the correct sentence structure.

It is a conditional sentence which has two conditions and starts with a negative sense(cannot). It says one cannot lead a healthy life, one does not quit smoking. Unless is a negative conditional conjunction which means 'If_not' and it is used to combine these two conditions. Hence, Unless will replace although.

According to the context of the sentence, the reflexive pronoun 'myself' will replace 'itself' because the subject (noun)/the narrator is a human being and for living things we use 'myself'. Hence, 'to steady myself' will be the correct sentence structure.

Jury/Team/Committee are considered as a singular subject and will take a singular verb, until they are divided in their opinion/views. For example, the Jury(Singular subject) has given its decision(United), the committee(Plural subject) are divided in their opinion(Divided). Similarly in the given question, 'the jury is(singular verb) from different parts of the country' is the most appropriate structure.
