Correct option: A — as strong possible.

as strong possible. ‘As strong possible’ will be replaced with ‘ as strong as possible’. This is because "As...as" is a comparative structure that shows similarity or equality between two elements. It is used to compare two things or actions and indicates that they are of the same degree or level. Hence, ‘as strong as possible’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: D — help me to

help me to ‘Help me to’ will be replaced with ‘help me with’ as the verb "help" is typically followed by the preposition "with" when indicating assistance or support in accomplishing a task or project. Hence, ‘Help me with’ will be the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: A — eleven to get of the last two

eleven to get of the last two ‘Get of’ will be replaced with ‘Get off’ as it means to successfully complete or achieve. It conveys the intended meaning that eleven runs were needed to successfully complete the last two deliveries. Hence, ‘Get off’ will be the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: B — glittery pen black?

glittery pen black? Adjectives should be written before the noun (pen) that is being qualified. The general order of adjectives before a noun is the following: Opinion, Size, Shape, Condition, Age, Colour,Pattern, Origin, Material and Purpose. ‘Glittery’ represents opinion and ‘black’ is the color. Hence, ‘glittery black pen’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: A — Before he could devote many more

Before he could devote many more ‘Many more’ will be replaced with ‘much more’ as much is used to describe the quantity of an uncountable noun. The word "thought" is an uncountable noun, which means it cannot be used with ‘many’. Hence, ‘before he could devote much more’ will be the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: D — customers find an best outfit.

customers find an best outfit. ‘An’ will be replaced with ‘the’ as the adjective ‘best’ is the superlative degree of ‘well’ and we generally use definite articles with superlative degrees. Hence, ‘customers find the best outfit’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: B — work he became the slyer

work he became the slyer ‘The slyer’ will be replaced with ‘the slyest’ as ‘slyer’ is a comparative form and we need a superlative form of the adjective ‘sly’ i.e. ‘slyest’ to match the later part of the sentence. Hence, ‘Work he became the slyest’ will be the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: D — Neither teachers or

Neither teachers or ‘Neither teachers or’ will be replaced with ‘neither teachers nor’ as ‘neither….nor’ is a fixed conjunction pair. Hence, ‘Neither teachers nor’ will be the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: A — George handing the

George handing the The use of verb ‘handing’ is incorrect here because we can not use V₄(ing) as the main verb without a helping verb. The adverb ‘later’ indicates something happened after some time. ‘Handing’ will be replaced with the past form ‘handed’ to make it grammatically correct. Hence, ‘George handed the’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: B — changing the balance of

changing the balance of The verb ‘changing’ is incorrect because we can not use ‘V4’(ing form) with the helping verb of present perfect tense(has/have). The third form (V3) ‘changed’ will be used in place of ‘changing’. Hence, ‘changed the balance of’ is the most appropriate answer.
