S9. Ans. (b)
Sol. Use of “as” is not required here. We use as with a noun to refer to the role or purpose of a person or thing. But the given sentence talks only about the post and not about its role. Hence, remove ‘as’ from the sentence to make it grammatically correct.

Sol. Either remove ‘hardly’ or replace ‘can’t’ with ‘can’. The given sentence includes a double negative with the inclusion of both ‘can’t’ and ‘hardly’ which negates each other, resulting in a positive meaning. The sentence should be correctly written as:
They can’t believe that Article 370 is no longer valid in Jammu and Kashmir.
Or,
They can hardly believe that Article 370 is no longer valid in Jammu and Kashmir.
