• Answer : (A)

Explanation: As per the context of the sentence, two dresses have been compared to find which one is 'better' (and not 'the best') than the other.

While comparing things the comparative degree of an adjective should be used, not the superlative as the case here 

So, the Correct Sentence will be:
Which dress is better of the two that I have shown you? 

• Answer : (C)

Explanation: The error is in the last part of the sentence where 'was' should be added before 'frightened' to denote the past tense especially after the use of the past perfect previously.

The correct sentence is  - 'It had been a delightful discovery on their wedding night that she was frightened and unsure.'

Hence, option C is correct.

• Answer : (A)

Explanation: The preposition 'on' is used to designate names of streets, avenues, etc. Thus the error is in the first part of the sentence. The correct sentence is - 'I need to get to the house on Landsdowne Road by ten o'clock.' 

• Answer : (B)

Explanation: The conjunction used in the sentence is 'but' which is incorrect. We need the conjunction 'or' which is the appropriate conjunction according to the context of the sentence.  

• Answer : (A)

Explanation: The error is in the first part of the sentence. 'Me' is an object form of the personal pronoun I' and hence instead of 'me', 'I' should be used. The correct sentence is - David and I are like brothers but from different mothers.

Note:  If you’re having trouble deciding which one to use in a particular sentence, here's a hint: Take out the other person, and it should be clearer. You are not likely to be tempted to say, “Me joined the chess club,” or “Jill took I to the shop.”
