Solutions:

S1. Ans (d)
Sol. The verb “hand in” should be in the past tense “handed it in” to match the context of the sentence referring to the previous day. Also, “hand in” is a plural verb, whereas the subject, the person, is singular.

S2. Ans (c)
Sol. The sentence contains a tense error. The word ” thought ” should be changed to “think” to maintain the correct verb tense. The corrected sentence would be: “My parents don’t allow me to go out with my friends because they think that I’m not responsible enough.”

S3. Ans (b)
Sol. The verb “launch” is in the wrong form. It should be “launched” to make it agree with the past tense of the sentence.

S4. Ans (d)
Sol. The verb “have” is incorrect. It should be “has” to agree with the singular subject “a new drug.” The corrected sentence would be: “The team of scientists is conducting research on a new drug that has the potential to cure cancer.”

S5. Ans (c)
Sol. The subject-verb agreement in this sentence is incorrect. The correct verb to use is “is” instead of “are” because “the team captain” is a singular subject.
