Direction: In the following question, five statements have been given. Identify the pair of statements which are grammatically correct and also carry the same meaning.
1) Each religion follows its own calendar for deciding the day on which the festival is to be celebrated, for example, the Hindu festivals is determined by the lunar Hindu calendar.
2) Diwali, one of the much prominent Hindu festivals of India, is celebrated with a lot of pomp and show.
3) Among all the countries of the world, India is the one with a large geographical area, supporting people from all communities and religions of the world and we celebrate festivals of each religion with equal zeal and vigour, making festivals a frequent
occurrence in the Indian lives.
4) India could well be called the land of festivals and the amalgamation of different cultures, languages and religions ensures that there is a festival being celebrated in some part of India almost every week.
5) India is still a predominantly rural nation and much of its festivals are characterized by the welcoming of seasons.

Statements 3 and 4 are grammatically correct and similar in meaning. Statement 3 talks about how India’s large geographical extent houses several different religions which in turn has led to several different festivals being celebrated all over the country and acts as a shining example of unity in diversity. Statement 4 supports this same sentiment in different words.
Let’s look at the errors in the other statements: 1. ‘Festivals’ being plural should be followed by ‘are’ to maintain subject-verb agreement instead of ‘is’. 2. The determiner ‘much’ is used with singular uncountable nouns. Since ‘diwali’ is a singular countable noun, the correct determiner to be used is ‘most’. 5. As stated earlier ‘much’ is used with singular uncountable nouns. The correct determiner to be used here is ‘many’ as ‘festivals’ is a plural noun.
