Ans-(c) Change ‘will' into ‘would' In indirect speech “will/shall' changes into “would/ should”.

Ans-(c) Change friend’s into friend. Double apostrophe is not used in a sentence.
3) (A) This is a strange world/ (B) where each one pursues their own golden bubble/ (C) and laughs at others for doing the same./ (D) No error
Ans-(b) 'Each one' is singular and hence will take singular pronoun 'his'.
4)(A) Supposing if he refuses / (B) to meet you, / (C) what will you do? / (D) No error
Ans-(a) Remove ‘if’. ‘Supposing’ and ‘if’ mean the same. Together they make the sentence superfluous.

Ans-(c) Remove 'back'. The word 'back' makes 'return' superfluous.

Ans-(d) Change ‘own’ into ‘yourself’.
10)(A) I have/ (B) no achievement/ (C) to boast./ (D) No error.
