Because art is so subjective, | |
no form of art | |
can be most effective | |
than the other. | |
No error |
Question 1 Explanation:

which is at once its | |
strength as well as weakness | |
depending upon how one look at it. | |
No error |
Question 2 Explanation:
depending upon how one looks at it
One (Subject) is in third Person (Singular). So, with ‘one’, we will use ‘looks’.

I am fully aware that | |
my boss is one of those | |
who is totally dedicated | |
to work and proper discipline. | |
No error |
Question 3 Explanation:
who are totally dedicated
The subject should agree with the verb. Since ‘those’ refers to multiple people, plural verb ‘are’ will be used.

The Director of our Company | |
does not believe that | |
we are working sincerely | |
and with interest for all these years. | |
No error |
Question 4 Explanation:
we have been working sincerely
For all these years denotes a period of time. So, we are working (Present Continuous) should be replaced with we have been working (Present Perfect Continuous).

You may not know it | |
but this engine is | |
claimed to have twice | |
as powerful as the previous one. | |

To have powerful doesn’t make sense. It could have been to have twice the power but since there is a comparison (as the previous one), to be twice as powerful would make sense.
