Q21. Sheela has scored a first class (A)/ in her final exams,(B)/ isn't it?(C)/ No error (D). (find error)
correct statement: "Sheela has scored a first-class in her final exams, hasn't she?" The phrase "isn't it?" is not suitable in this context. It is commonly used to seek confirmation or agreement, but it doesn't fit well in this statement.
Q22. I saw the blind man (A)/ crossed the busy road (B)/ without any help (C)/ No error (D). (find error)
The corrected sentence is: "I saw the blind man (A)/ crossing the busy road (B)/ without any help (C)/ No error (D)." the word "crossed" is a past tense verb, which doesn't fit with the context. the verb "crossed" should be "crossing" to show that the man was in the middle of crossing the road when the speaker saw him.
Q23. I saw (A)/ a bad dream (B)/ last night (C)/ No error (D) (Find error)
"I had a bad dream last night."
Q24. Why did you (A)/ not told me (B)/ about it (C)/ No error (D) (Find error)
"Why did you not tell me about it?" "did" is used to create the past tense, main verb "tell" should be in its base form.
Q25. I know he is having (A)/ a lot of books (B)/ on how to improve English (C)/ no error (D) (Find error)
"I know he has a lot of books on how to improve English." the present simple tense "has" is more appropriate than "is having". "Is having" could imply temporary possession or current activities, whereas "has" indicates general possession.
Q26. The leader and the villagers is (A)/ having a meeting (B)/ about the various development activities (C)/ No error (D). (find error)
"The leader and the villagers are having a meeting about the various development activities." The subject of the sentence is a plural compound subject, "the leader and the villagers," so the verb "are" should also be in the plural form to match the subject.

Q29. How long (A)/ you have been (B)/ in this city. (C)/ No error (D) (find error)
"How long have you been in this city?" the auxiliary verb ("have" in this case) should come before the subject ("you") to form a question in the present perfect tense.
Q30. He is the person (A)/ we have been looking (B)/ for. (C)/ No error (D) (find error)
No error
The sentence uses a relative clause with a trailing preposition, which is acceptable in modern English. No part is grammatically wrong.
A preposition at the end of a clause is often acceptable in everyday English.
That is the book I am looking for.
