    Solutions

    The given sentence is in the past tense as indicated by the previous verb forms such as "told" and "was". Therefore, ‘are trekking’ is not correct here. The auxiliary verb used should be plural as the subject is plural in nature i.e. "we". Therefore, option B is the correct choice.

    Many companies prefer that the new employees have not only a degree also two years’ work experience.

    Solutions

    Not only …But also is used together. The pairing of "not only....but also" follows the parallelism rule of English. It means if but also is used with the verb or the object then not only should also be used before the verb or the object. In this sentence, the underlined part should be replaced with what is given in option c. Hence, option c is correct.
