Question :11

People express their expectations (a)/ that their leaders should not (b)/ resorting to (c)/ corrupt practices and nepotism. (d)/ No error (e)

No error.

Question :13

With a fresh coat (a)/ of paint, (b)/ the school can (c)/ look much nice. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (d)

To convey the comparative sense of 'better than it is' we need to use 'more nice' or 'much nicer' not 'much nice' or we could just simply leave out 'much'.

Question :14

The quality of construction (a)/ of our building was (b)/ highly appreciable by (c)/ most of the visitors. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (c)

The word should be 'appreciated' (v.) (praised) and not 'appreciable' (adj.) (considerable).

Question :15

I know nothing (a)/ about chess because (b)/ my games teacher also (c)/ was not knowing nothing about it. (d)/ No error (e)

Answer: (d)

'Was not knowing nothing' has a wrong tense usage and also involves two negatives. It should be 'did not know anything' (or 'knew nothing') in place of 'was not knowing nothing.'
