2. (b) ‘Scarcely … when’.
3. (d) No error.
4. (a) ‘Has eaten’, the present perfect form, should be used in place of ‘ate’, which is the simple past tense of ‘eat’.
5. (c) It should be ‘research’ and not ‘researcher’ (a person).
6. (c) The last part of the sentence should read ‘and asked me what I wanted’.
7. (b) The ‘ebb’ and ‘flow’ is here referred to as one set of phenomena. So a singular verb should be used.
8. (c) ‘Contrast to’ is better usage than ‘contrast with’ here.
9. (b) When a comparison is being made, a comparative and not superlative form of the word should be used. It should be ‘older’ and not ‘oldest’.
10. (a) ‘Taking into consideration’ refers to the performance of a continuing action.
