ANSWERS

1.     If’ should be replaced with ‘that’. ‘Doubt’ itself contains the meaning ‘if’. Thus, using 'doubt and if' together will create a sort of redundancy.

2.     ‘Where’ should be replaced with ‘when’. The correct conjunction pair is, ‘scarcely-when’.

3.     Nor’ should be replaced with ‘or’. The required conjunction pair is- ‘Whether-or’. Thus, the correct conjunction for the sentence is- ‘OR’

4.     ‘Therefore’ should be replaced with ‘but’. Conjunction ‘but’ is used to introduce a phrase or clause contrasting with what has already been mentioned.

5.     ‘And’ should be used in place ‘Or’. The required conjunction pair is ‘both-and’.

6.     As per the rule, ‘Unless’ imparts a negative sense and using ‘not’ should be avoided. Therefore, omit ‘do not’.

7.     OR’ should be used in place of ‘BUT’ .With ‘seldom’, the conjunction ‘or’ is preferred.     

8.     ‘But’ should be omitted. ‘although and but cannot be used in a same sentence’.    Either use ‘yet’ or simply use comma(,) and proceed the sentence.

9.     With ‘not only’ the connective pair ‘but also’ is must. Hence the correct phrase is ‘but also.

10.   With ‘lest’ auxiliary ‘should’ must be used.
