Answer : 2
Explanation : The adverb ‘only’ has been wrongly placed in the sentence. The adverb needs to be placed after the verb ‘could eat’ so as not to disturb the structure of the verb and yet modify it. ‘Could only eat’ means he could perform only one action that is eating raw food. It is clearly not what the sentence wants to suggest. ‘Could eat only’ suggests that he could not eat anything other than raw food. Thus the error is in the second part of the sentence.

Answer : 2
Explanation : It is use a plural verb with two or more subjects when they are connected by ‘and’. However, this is not the case here. In this case, ‘bed and breakfast’, is a compound noun that refers to a single thing. So we need to use the singular verb ‘was’ instead of ‘were’. Thus the error is in part 2 of the sentence and the correct sentence is “The bed and breakfast was very charming so we decided to stay there for the rest of the holiday.”

Answer : 1
Explanation : Though the word ‘Lotus’ is in plural form, since it is the name of a new hotel, it must be in singular form. Hence the verb to be used is ‘is’ to agree with the subject. Thus the error is in the first part of the sentence.
