Explanation: The error is in the phrase that, wins her friends because the comma after that is incorrect. The correct structure is that wins her friends. In this sentence, the pattern is it is… that… , which is used for emphasis.

(P) According to one survey (Q) only those forests which were (R) not under village management succumbed from fires recently. (S) No error
Explanation: R has an error. <br> It is Preposition related error. Hence, succumbed to fires recently is the right usage. <br> The error is in part R because the phrase succumbed from fires is grammatically wrong. The verb succumb is used with the preposition to, not from. Therefore, the correct expression is succumbed to fires. The sentence means that only those forests which were not under village management became victims of fires recently. So the mistake is a preposition error.

I know my weaknesses: just last week, Facebook memories reminded me of a pizza party I'd had two years ago and I ended up ordering a chicken dominator, with garlic breadsticks and an jalapeno cheese dip. So much for Day One of Couch to 5K training. I stayed right on that couch. So far I've unfollowed Buzzfeed Tasty, TasteMade (even their adorable Tiny Kitchen) and several people who have the enviable advantage of being able to eat as much as they want and not put on weight. By my calculations, dark chocolate is healthy, so I'm still following Earth Loaf, Pascati and Mason & Co. <br><br> When I finally found a gym I liked, with the best trainers I have had, I unabashedly shared my workouts every day. From shying away from full-length pictures, I reached a point where I could share videos of myself deadlifting and doing back squats with a barbell across my shoulders.
