When the history of classical music is written, (A)/ Pandit Jasraj was to be remembered as the gold standard of male voices (B)/ in a generation of vocalists that included Kishori Amonkar and Girija Devi. (C)/ The last from this pantheon, he passed away at his home in New Jersey on Monday following a cardiac arrest. (D)/
CorrectExplanation:
Concept/Grammar Rules Application The statement may contain some grammatical as well as contextual error in it as the query suggests. The statement “B” seems to have an error in it.

Hence, the error lies in option 1.

- Question 6 of 30
6. Question
English LanguageRead the passage carefully and answer the questions.
The COVID-19 pandemic has made “online education” a popular buzzword. Let’s be categorical about this: Replicating a classroom through communication tools such as Microsoft Team and Zoom is not digital education by any stretch of the imagination. That alone is perhaps just 10 per cent of the ecosystem. Digital Education is a comprehensive ecosystem that not only includes innovative tools and technologies for teaching and learning but also encapsulates a number of critical areas in the context of higher education. This digital ecosystem needs a robust academic infrastructure that not only organises virtual classrooms and labs but also conducts examinations and admissions and provides analytics for students and parents. The industry linkage also has to be woven into the digital education ecosystem, including elements such as placement, internships, incubation and alumni connect.
However, what we are seeing now in the name of digital education can be summed up as ”bored students and exhausted teachers”. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced institutions of higher education to adopt an “emergency remote teaching” model, in which teachers are attempting to rapidly digitise their lecture materials and put them online while also delivering classes in a synchronous manner to students who are online. While this approach has allowed at least some engagement between faculty and students, it is far from optimal.
What is needed is a blended learning model, which incorporates a vast range of digital activities that collectively deliver effective learning. At NIIT University, a significant part of such a blended learning model has been implemented, based on extensive work done over the last 10 years, with 40 years more of research and experience from the sponsoring organisation, NIIT Limited. This model incorporates innovative pedagogies, technology-based teacher-student engagement and end-to-end processing of student administration, from admissions, education delivery and assessment and certification, to campus activities, governance and industry-linkages, placement and alumni interaction.
The comprehensive ecosystem includes multiple aspects such as an online admission-interaction process, an increasing percentage of lab work done through digital simulators, and work-from-home internships during the pandemic. The NIIT model explains that digital education and traditional education are not two watertight compartments, but a continuum in the growth of the education ecosystem. A judicious ___________ (1) of the two can benefit teachers, learners and other stakeholders in the system.
The COVID-19 situation is forcing us to find new solutions and pushing the limits of how teachers teach, how students learn and how infrastructure is used. At this time, students are bored and teachers are exhausted because we have been caught unprepared. This crisis offers an opportunity we should not miss. An opportunity to study and research the whole space of education to create new models of learning. The unprecedented situation created by COVID-19 has already accelerated movement in these directions and will certainly help students come out successful as independent, disciplined and self-driven tech-enabled learners.

Further, among the remaining parts, part “E” seems to precede “D” as part “D” seems to end the statement which talks about the bad thing that was going to happen while showing conjunction with part “E”.

(B)/ It seemed like it should have been so simple (C)/ that even a child should have been able to complete it on time, but that wasn’t the case. (D)/ The deadline had arrived and the project remained unfinished. (E)/
CorrectExplanation;
The correct answer is option 4, i.e. CBADE.
Concept/Grammar Rules Application The sentences must be realigned in a way that makes a meaningful statement as a result. Option 4, i.e. CBADE here seems to be the best sequence as it conforms to the entire theme of the passage. Taking part “C” as fixed, Part “B” seems to be succeeding this specific statement by showing conjunction. Part “C” is talking about the project seemed so simple followed by Part “B”. “Part “A” talks about even a child could do because it was so straightforward and simple but in the following sentences, we come to know that this was not the case.
So, we got a sequence i.e. CBADE and the correct formation of the statement will be, “It seemed like it should have been so simple. There was nothing inherently difficult with getting the project done. It was simple and straightforward enough that even a child should have been able to complete it on time, but that wasn’t the case. The deadline had arrived and the project remained unfinished.”
