1. Here part b) has error . ‘Rose’ is the 2nd form of ‘rise’. Here ‘raised’ should come in place of ‘rose’. Rise and Raise both refers to elevation but rise is an intransitive verb. It does not involve an Object directly whereas Raise involves object, it is a transitive verb.

2. Here again part b) is with error. “Loose” is an adjective which refers to ‘not tight’ . Here ‘loose’ should be replaced by ‘lose’ . Lose is a verb.
3. Part b) is the error part . Overflew should be replaced by overflowed. The sense of sentence is related to flow rather than fly.
4. part d) has error Both ‘Hanged’ and ‘Hung’ are correct but their usage are different. According to sentence “hanged ” suits better here.
5. part b) has error. ‘Found’ should be replaced by ‘founded’.
