Solution:-

  1. (E) There is no error.
  2. (C) ‘needs’ should be replaced with ‘need’ as the Subject (Those) is plural
  3.  (A) Write ‘The recently concluded..’ instead as the Verb ‘concluded’ must be modified by an Adverb.
  4. (C) Write ‘said Mr. Pompeo…’ instead. If the Reporting Clause is used at the end comprising a Noun as a Subject, it must be inverted (Verb + Subject).
  5. (C) Replace ‘with’ with ‘of’ as the word ‘convict’ takes the preposition ‘of’.
  6. (B) Remove ‘into’ as ‘investigate’ does not take any preposition.
