"My brother lost the case five years ago." The use of "since" is not appropriate because it is referring to a past event (losing the case) rather than a starting point for a continuing action.

"a" is the indefinite article used to introduce a singular countable noun. "five-rupee" is a compound adjective that describes the type of note. It tells us that the note has a denomination of five rupees. correct form of other two sentences are A: "Mr. Bhatt is the oldest citizen of the village." C: "I brought two dozen apples."

B) The officer made the peon to do the work again.

Q56. Sheela has scored a first class (A)/ in her final exams,(B)/ isn't it?(C)/ No error (D). (find error)
correct statement: "Sheela has scored a first-class in her final exams, hasn't she?" The phrase "isn't it?" is not suitable in this context. It is commonly used to seek confirmation or agreement, but it doesn't fit well in this statement.
Q57. I saw the blind man (A)/ crossed the busy road (B)/ without any help (C)/ No error (D). (find error)
The corrected sentence is: "I saw the blind man (A)/ crossing the busy road (B)/ without any help (C)/ No error (D)." the word "crossed" is a past tense verb, which doesn't fit with the context. the verb "crossed" should be "crossing" to show that the man was in the middle of crossing the road when the speaker saw him.
Q58. I saw (A)/ a bad dream (B)/ last night (C)/ No error (D) (Find error)
"I had a bad dream last night."
Q59. Why did you (A)/ not told me (B)/ about it (C)/ No error (D) (Find error)
"Why did you not tell me about it?" "did" is used to create the past tense, main verb "tell" should be in its base form.
Q60. I know he is having (A)/ a lot of books (B)/ on how to improve English (C)/ no error (D) (Find error)
"I know he has a lot of books on how to improve English." the present simple tense "has" is more appropriate than "is having". "Is having" could imply temporary possession or current activities, whereas "has" indicates general possession.
