    Solutions

     Option B has the grammatically incorrect part. When the sentence starts with a “only + adverb of manner”, we use inversion, i.e. verb before the subject. Therefore, put “did” before the pronoun “it” to make the sentence grammatically correct.

    He climbed up a tree such as to get a good view of the procession.
    Solutions

    The given sentence is grammatically incorrect and an error lies in option B. Here, conjunction 'such as' has been used wrongly. 'Such as' means something used as an example. It should be replaced by 'so as' which indicates a purpose and here to get a good view is the only purpose to climb up a tree. Thus, 'such as' should be replaced with 'so as'.

    But you could not see the film, we will tell you something about it.
    Solutions

    The given sentence is grammatically incorrect and an error lies in option D. Here, the use of the conjunction 'but' is incorrect. 'But' introduces something in contrast or unexpected or something on the contrary. In the given sentence, "they could not see the film" is the 'reason' for telling them something. So, a conjunction with the similar meaning should be used. The most appropriate to use would be 'as' which means for the reason that or on account of. Thus, 'but' will be replaced by 'as'.

'Herd' should be replaced by the verb 'heard' i.e. past participle of verb hear which means be told or informed of.
