Correct answer and explanation
Correct answer: 4
Explanation: Context: The sentence about the High Court contains a grammatical error. The phrase ‘who does not practise’ should be ‘who do not practise’ to agree with ‘lawyers’ (plural). So the correct answer is option C. 4 1. The Hon’ble Calcutta High Court ✅ – correct phrase. 2. will now hear a petition ✅ – correct. 3. against a rule that bars lawyers ✅ – minor correction (‘bars’, not ‘bras’). 4. who does not practise in the HC ❌ – incorrect verb; should be ‘who do not practise’. Correct Sentence/Example Sentence: The Hon’ble Calcutta High Court will now hear a petition against a rule that bars lawyers who do not practise in the HC.
