    Neither of the child seems concerned about the flight.
    Solutions
    ‘Neither’ is not used with singular entity, it is used with plural forms but in the bold part 'neither' is used with a singular noun ‘child’. So, to make this sentence correct, the noun 'child' should be replaced with 'children'. In option C and D, it can be seen but in option B the required preposition 'of' is missing. Hence, option C is the only correct answer.

    That the figures revealing the fiscal slippage have come less than two months after Moody’s upgraded India’s sovereign credit rating serves as a reminder that there is a little room to complacency.
    Solutions
    The correct usage is “little” and not “a/the little”. Little is used with uncountable nouns.
    'A little' means some. It has a positive meaning.
    'Little' means hardly any. It has a negative meaning.
    'The little' means not much but all of that much.
    'Little room to complacency' is grammatically incorrect because of the presence of infinitive 'to', it needs to be replaced with 'for' to make it grammatically correct.
    Hence, option C is the correct answer.

    There is also the issue of how the government is likely to account of a additional capital it has announced as part of the recapitalisation effort to bolster the financial health of public sector banks.
    Solutions
    As the sentence talks about an additional capital which has specifically been announced for the purpose of uplifting the financial health of public sector banks, we require a definite article 'the' instead of 'a/an'. Also, as  the subject here is 'Government' we require a singular pronoun and verb which is 'it has' and not 'it have' given in option B. Note that 'account of' is also grammatically incorrect, so we need to drop 'of' to make the sentence grammatically correct. 
    Hence, option D is the correct answer.

    You can take any step against anything that is deleterious to the environment even protest against burning crackers to show that we need to be more in unity in our environment.
    Solutions
    The words ‘in unity’ need no change and the correct preposition after it is ‘with’. We remain in unity ‘with’ someone or something which means we co-ordinate with them or remain in alignment with them. The other options are incorrect. Thus, option D is is the answer.

    Doctors were concern about the public reaction to the manipulation of something held to be fundamental to individual identity.
    Solutions
    The error is in the usage of an incorrect part of speech. We need to replace 'concern' with 'concerned' to make it grammatically correct. Note that 'concern' is a noun, while we need a main verb to convey the correct meaning of the sentence. 'Concerned' means 'worried', 'bothered'. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
