    There was (a)/ genuine uneasy in her (b)/ voice that drew his interest. (c)/ No error (d)

    The error is in third part. “uneasy” is wrong expression because it is in adjective form. Correct usage will be “uneasiness”, which is a noun qualified by genuine. Hence option B is correct.

    Being a rainy day, (a)/ we had to (b)/ abandon the match. (c)/ No error (d)

    Solutions

    The error is in first part. If we start the sentence with being, it means that we were rainy which is incorrect. The sentence indicates that the day was Rainy, and the day will be denoted by ‘It’. So ‘It being a rainy day’ will be the correct idiomatic expression. Hence option A is correct

    Just then Mowgli, who had risen (a)/ early and heard the voices of the animals, (b)/ he ran out to greet his old friends. (c)/ No error (d)

    Solutions

    Error is in third part. By writing ‘who’ in the second part it has already been made clear that the sentence talks about ‘Mowgli’. The use of ‘he’ becomes redundant or repetitive. By omitting ‘he’ the sentence becomes grammatically correct. Hence option C is correct.

    By the time they (a)/ reached the spot, the (b)/ deer vanished in the trees. (c)/ No error (d)

    Solutions

    The error is in third part. In the given sentence two events occur one after the other. ‘deer vanished’ before ‘they reached’. So, the event that was completed before the occurrence of the next event shall be expressed in past perfect tense. Therefore, the correct form of verb will be “had vanished”. Hence option C is correct.

    I can't tell him what to do even (a)/ though he is making lots of mistakes (b)/ because he is senior than me on the job (c)/ No error (d).

    Solutions

    With certain words like, be senior to, be junior to, be superior to, be inferior to, etc. is always followed by ‘to’. 

    Thus, the correct sentence would be, ‘I can't tell him what to do even though he is making lots of mistakes because he is senior to me on the job.’

    James was (1)/ taken to hospital (2)/ but died soon later. (3)/ No error (4)

    Solutions

    ‘Later’ needs to be replaced with ‘afterwards’ to make the sentence grammatically correct. This is because, ‘soon + afterwards’ is used as a combination to mean at a later or future time, whereas ‘soon later’ is an incorrect phrase. Thus, the correct sentence would be, ‘John was taken to hospital but died afterwards’.

    I have had (a)/ an enormous amount of (b)/ letters from single parents (c)/ No error (d).

    Solutions

    ‘Amount’ needs to be replaced with ‘number’ to make the sentence grammatically correct. This is because we use ‘number’ with words such as ‘large’ or ‘small’ to say approximately how many things or people there are. ‘Amount’ is used with uncountable nouns and ‘number’ is used with uncountable nouns. 
    Thus, the correct sentence would be, ‘I have had an enormous number of letters from single parents’.
