1.
‘It take’ in (a); ‘for realize’ in (b); and ‘yours own ignorance’in (c) are wrong. Hence (d) is the correct answer.

‘a acclaimed interpreter’ in (a); no ‘that’ in ‘is that rare

3.
‘exist vessels’ in (a)’ ‘net work’ in (c); and ‘vessel’ in (d)
are wrong. Hence (b) is the correct answer.
4.
‘brides’ in (a); ‘senses’ in (b); and ‘ultimate’ in (c) are
wrong. Hence (d) is the correct answer.
5.
‘burden’ without ‘a’ in (b); ‘expecting’ in (c); and ‘find out
that living’ in (d) are wrong. Hence (a) is the correct answer.
