Correct option: C — and lied about it

and lied about it According to the ‘Rule of Parallelism’, two or more verbs must be in the same form if they are connected with one another. Similarly, in the given sentence, ‘and’ connects two verbs 'accepting(Ving)’ and ‘lied’. Therefore, ‘lying(Ving)’ must be used in place of ‘lied’. Hence, ‘and lying about it’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: B — very good

very good ‘Very’ must be replaced with ‘too’ as ‘too good to be true’ is an idiom that means something is so positive or favorable. Hence, ‘too good’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: B — in

in The preposition ‘on’ must be replaced with ‘in’ as ‘In’ is used to indicate location or position within a place or area. Similarly, in the sentence, ‘Daman’ is a location and we need to use the preposition ‘in’ before it. Hence, ‘in’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: A — Rama can bowl fastly.

Rama can bowl fastly.(Incorrect) Rama can bowl fast.(Correct) ‘Fast’ is already an adverb. We can not add ‘ly’ to it.

Correct option: C — a place you recommended

a place you recommended The article ‘the’ is used to refer to specific or particular nouns & articles ‘a/an’ are used for non-specific or non-particular nouns. For example, if someone says, "Let's buy the book," it means a specific book but if someone says, "Let's buy a book," it means any book rather than a specific book. Similarly, the given sentence talks about a specific place. Hence, ‘the place you recommended’ is the most appropriate answer.
