In my opinion, it is both option (A).Sway (as a verb) is similar to the verb 'control', or 'influence'. It is used in a sentence as such: Mcdonald is very easily swayed by other people's opinions, he's never made so much as a decision by himself in his life. Sway (as a noun) is not similar to the word deviation. Sway means to swing or oscillate, which, generally, means 'to move around a fixed point in a regular manner'. For example: The child swayed slightly on his feet as he waited for his name to be called. Deviation, on the other hand, (as a noun) means 'to stray from a recommended/accepted path'. For example: Harry's deviation from the standard methods (written in the book 'Advanced Potion-Making', by Libatius Borage) earned him many compliments from Slughorn.Thus, the answer is option (A) in my opinion.

Ans 2:

Class : Class 8
NO.......its option A

Ans 3:

Class : Class 9
I think it's option C

Ans 4:

Class : Class 8
Yes...its option c

Ans 5:

Class : Class 8
Yes...its option c

Ans 6:

Class : Class 9
Option C

Ans 7:

Class : Class 8
It’s option c mostly

Ans 8:

Class : Class 8

Ans 9:

Class : Class 8
Sway also means to control

Ans 10:

Class : Class 8
Option C also seems correct as "sway" means "control" only when it is used in the expression "held sway".

Ans 11:

Class : Class 8
Both A and C are correct.

Ans 12:

Class : Class 8
It seems to be option C

Ans 13:

Class : Class 8
In my opinion, option a may be correct in some contexts but when such an appropriate option as option c is there, it should be option c as it is more correct. Olympiad questions are confusing in such a way where they may have two or even more correct answers but in this exercise it is my opinion that in options a and c, c is more appropriate.

No error people. Just because you don't want to work everyday doesn't mean someone else can't.

Class : Class 8
Everyday must have a space between it in this usage

Everyday is grammatically correct; there's no mistake.

Ans 31:

Class : Class 9

READ THE PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.
Though the U.S. prides itself on being a leader in the world community, a recent report shows that it lags far behind other industrialised countries in meeting the needs of its youngest and most vulnerable citizens. The U.S. has a higher infant mortality-rate, a higher proportion of low birth-weight babies, a smaller proportion of babies immunised against childhood diseases and a much higher rate of adolescent pregnancies. These findings, described as a 'quiet crisis' requires immediate and far-reaching action. Research shows that a fourth of the nation's 12 million infants and toddlers live in poverty. As many as half confront risk factors that could harm their ability to develop intellectually, physically and socially. Child immunisations are too low, more children are born into poverty, more are in substandard care while their parents work and more are being raised by single parents. When taken together, these and other risk factors can lead to educational and health problems that are much harder and more costly to reverse.
The crisis begins in the womb with unplanned parenthood. Women with unplanned pregnancies are less likely to seek pre-natal care. In the U.S. 80% of teenage pregnancies and 56% of all pregnancies are unplanned. The problems continue after birth where unplanned pregnancies and unstable partnerships often go hand in hand. Since 1950, the number of single parent families has nearly tripled. More than 25 percent of all births today are to unmarried mothers. As the number of single parent families grow and more women enter the work force, infants and toddlers are increasingly in the care of people other than their parents.
Most disturbingly, recent statistics show that American parents are increasingly neglecting or abusing their children. Babies under the age of one are the fastest growing category of children entering foster care. The crisis affects children under the age of three most severely, the report says. Yet, it is this period-from infancy through pre-school years-that sets the stage for a child's future.
The 'Quiet Crisis' severely affects the children belonging to the age group ___________.

A between one and three years
B between two and three years
C below one year
D below three years


the answer wasn't given clearly in passage.

Ans 1:

Class : Class 8
I think the answer should be option D- below 3 years. To quote the passage, "The crisis affects children under the age of three most severely, the report says."

Ans 2:

Class : Class 9
The answer is below one year as it is said in the passage that “These findings described as the quiet crisis requires immediate and far reaching action. One fourth of the nation’s 12 million infants and toddlers live in poverty” As infants are below 1 year..that must be the answer

Ans 3:

Class : Class 9
I think its D

Ans 4:

Class : Class 8
I think that the answer has to be D because it is written clearly that "The crisis affects children under the age of three most severely

Ans 5:

Class : Class 8
Shouldn't the answer be 'd' as they mention it "affects the children below the age of three most severely"

Ans 6:

Class : Class 8
It doesn't make sense, as it is quoted children under 3 years are most severely affected.

Ans 7:

Class : Class 9
the answer should be D it is clearly stated in the passage

Ans 8:

Class : Class 8
In my opinion, the answer should be Option (D) instead of Option (C), as, according to the final paragraph of the passage, it is written as "The crisis affects children under the age of three years most severely, the report says.". As it is clearly, mentioned, children under the age of 'three' years suffer most severely.
