Incorrect Answeras if it were the panacea for all ills afflicting
Correct AnswerNo correction required
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Correct Answer is (d).Corrects the error of past subjunctive mood and plural noun. The verb should be ‘were’, in the clause beginning with ‘as if/as though’ and refers to a situation contrary to fact or unreal past. ‘All’ in the sentence is used as ‘indefinite determiner’, and it is followed by a plural noun (ills).Hence, the option D is correct.
