Explanation
The sentence with a grammatical error is:
(A) The new employee, along with the rest of the team, were responsible for the project's failure.
Explanation:

Corrected Sentence:
"The new employee, along with the rest of the team, was responsible for the project's failure."

Explanation:
Semicolon Usage: The semicolon correctly separates two closely related clauses, making the sentence easier to read and grammatically sound.
Punctuation and Grammar: The placement of commas and the semicolon ensures clarity, unlike the other options, which either lack necessary punctuation or have incorrect usage.
Logical Flow: The sentence maintains a logical progression, showing contrast and elaboration effectively.
Issues with Other Options:
(B): Incorrect use of commas makes the sentence disjointed and harder to understand.
(C): Missing punctuation (comma) after "suffered," and "say" is improperly joined.
(D): Missing semicolon before "but worse," which makes it a run-on sentence.

Explanation
Dalit literature upholds the idea that resistance cannot be achieved by words alone, so the struggle for equality is a noteworthy quest of the human spirit.
Explanation: This option is grammatically correct because:
It uses "so" to appropriately show cause and effect between the two clauses.
The phrase "noteworthy quest of the human spirit" is positive and aligns with the context of Dalit literature's focus on equality and resistance.
Minor errors like missing articles ("a" before "noteworthy") in other options make them less accurate.
