Good Job!
Oops!
Here in the given sentence main clause is in past tense so the subordinate clause should also follow the same and should be in past tense too. So in part 3 it should be ‘worked’ and not ‘works’. So error is in part 3 of the given sentence. So option C is the correct answer.

Question 2
The flute is considered symbol (1) of Lord Krishna and this notion (2) has been supported by the stories (3) In Hindu mythology. (4) No error (5)
The sentence seems incomplete here without the use of either an article or the word ‘as’ before the word symbol. Hence, the error lies in the first part. Thus it should be 'as a symbol' in the first part.
Question 3
Japan was being considered to (1) be a pioneer in innovation (2) and technology and thus many research (3) centres are there in Japan. (4) No error (5).
The use of past continuous tense in the passive voice is wrong here, and needs to be replaced by ‘is considered to be’, which is in the simple present tense, to make the sentence demonstrate a correct meaning. Thus the error is in the first part of the sentence.
Question 4
Everyone who has submitted (1) the requisite application fee (2) are entitled to a review (3) of their credentials. (4) No error (5)
Either, neither, each, everyone, many a, must be followed by a singular verb. Thus the error is in the third part of the sentence. It should be 'is'.
Question 5
Big firms often look up smaller companies (1) as they are more agile, with less bureaucracy (2) and fewer approvals required (3) to develop innovative products. (4) No error (5)
Different prepositions in phrasal verbs create different meanings. 'Look up' means to try find information. The correct phrasal verb would be 'look at' which means to direct attention to something. Thus the correct sentence is - 'Big firms often look at smaller .... '
Question 6
Saakshar Bharat being the only programme (1) based on voluntary approach (2) with no financial incentive to the Volunteer teachers, (3) boosting voluntarism is clearly a bigger challenge. (4) No error (5)
Since only one aspect is being pointed out, it is more prudent to use the simple adjective form 'big' for the given sentence. Hence the correct sentence is - 'Saakshar Bharat being the only programme based on voluntary approach with no financial incentive to the Volunteer teachers, boosting voluntarism is clearly a big challenge.'
Question 7
In March, U.S. President Donald Trump signed a executive order, (1) ostensibly promoting U.S. energy independence (2) and economic growth, but with potential (3) collateral damage to global efforts to limit climate change. (4) No error (5)
It should be an executive in 1) and therefore, Option A is the correct answer.
Question 8
Although online ingredients enable (1) entrepreneurship in outside a traditional high-tech cluster,(2) the role of the cluster (3) may not be completely supplanted. (4) No error (5)
'Outside' has been used as a preposition in the sentence and thus there is no need for 'in' before it. Hence the correct sentence is - '...entrepreneurship outside a....'
Question 9
SimPrints won a major grant for its field trials, (1) and in 2014 we began work with (2) Johns Hopkins University’s Global mHealth Initiative and BRAC, (3) the world’s big development non governmental organization. (4) No error (5)
If BRAC was just another big development NGO, there would be no need to call it the same. Since attention has been drawn to it, it has to be one of the bigger NGOs if not the biggest. Thus the correct sentence is - '.....the world’s biggest development non governmental organization.'
Question 10
An Earth-sized ‘Tatooine’ like planet could be quite hospitable (1) if located on the right distance from its two stars, (2) according to a new study. With two suns in its sky, (3) Luke Skywalker’s home planet Tatooine in “Star Wars” looks like a parched, sandy desert world. (4) No error (5)
The error is in (2). Since we are talking about distance, on has been wrongly used instead of 'at'. It should be: if located at the right distance from..... Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
