Answers :

1) Answer: C

Here ‘continues for’ is wrongly used and the correct usage is ‘continued to’ where the sentence is in past form.

The Income Tax department allowed manual filing of certain forms after the new tax filing portal continued to face tech glitches even a week after its introduction.

Hence option C is the answer.

Hence option E is the answer.

3) Answer: B
