    Solutions

    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect. The given sentence does not need any modal, thus ‘could’ should be eliminated. Also, the tense used is simple past (did + V1 or only V2), thus ‘did’ should be used which is given in option B.

    Hence, option B is the correct answer.

    When the wind blow, the cradle will rock.

    Solutions

    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect. When two dependent actions are mentioned, the first action is mentioned in simple present tense (v1), and the second action is in simple future tense (will/ shall + v1).
    In the given sentence the second action is already in ‘simple future tense’ but the verb of the first action ‘blow’ should be replaced with ‘blows’ in order to make the sentence grammatically correct as the subject ‘the wind’ is singular.
    Hence, option C is the correct answer.

    Mike quickly brushed her past without any sort of salutation.

    Solutions

    The underlined part is grammatically incorrect. ‘Brush past’ is a widely used phrase in English which means ‘to walk quickly past someone, usually because you do not want to speak to them’. The object of the sentence is usually placed after verb. Here ‘brushed past’ indicates the verb and ‘her’ is the object. Thus, the correct sequence is ‘brushed past her’ which is mentioned in option A.

    Hence, option A is the correct answer.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
