Answer 1

Hint: The question demands to find the error in the sentence provide, for this we have to study all the aspects of the sentence and analyse if there are any grammatical error, punctuation errors etc.

Complete step by step answer:
a) As: ‘As’ is correct in its place and has been used in a proper form.
b) One: Instead of one, ‘you’ should be used because the narration is in form of a teacher talking to his/ her pupils, hence the teacher would be directly referring to the students and use you.
c) Dissemble: It means to hide true feeling of the person and has been used in correct form and format in the sentence.
d) His or Her: This has been used to show that there are male and female students both, hence it correct in its form.
d) No error: There is an error in the sentence, the error is option ‘b’. The use of ‘one’ is incorrect, instead we would use ‘you’. ‘You’ would be referred to male and female candidates both.
The error is option ‘b – One’

Note:
There is error in the conversation, the speaker should use ‘you’ instead of ‘one’ because he is referring to his students while teaching, and hence you has to be used.
