Error Detection
Let's analyze the paragraph sentence by sentence and identify any grammatical errors. Detailed Analysis: 1. "India's evolving security challenges, both internal as well as external, necessitate a comprehensive 'National Security Strategy.'" o Error: "both internal as well as external" is redundant. The correct phrasing should be either "both internal and external" or "internal as well as external." o Correction: "India's evolving security challenges, both internal and external, necessitate a comprehensive 'National Security Strategy.'" 2. "As regional dynamics shift and new threats such as cyber warfare, terrorism, and border tensions emerge, a cohesive strategy would helps streamline the country’s defense, intelligence, and diplomatic efforts." o Error: "helps" should be "help" to correctly match the modal verb "would." Modal verbs like "would" are followed by the base form of the verb. o Correction: "a cohesive strategy would help streamline the country’s defense, intelligence, and diplomatic efforts." 3. "This framework would guide decision-making, ensuring that national interests are protected across military, economic, and technological domains." o No error in this sentence. 4. "Additionally, it would enable India to proactively address security risks, enhance preparedness, and strengthen collaborations with global allies, ultimately safeguarding its sovereignty and promoting regional stability." o No error in this sentence. Final Answer: There are two errors in the paragraph: 1. "both internal as well as external" → "both internal and external" 2. "helps" → "help" Thus, the correct answer is (b) Two errors. Grammar Explanation: • Redundancy: "both internal as well as external" is redundant because "both" and "as well as" serve similar purposes in this context. It should be simplified to "both internal and external." • Base form of verb after modal: After modal verbs like "would," the base form of the verb ("help") is used instead of "helps." 60 www.bankersadda.com | Adda247 App
