    The error is in the second part of the statement. Replace 'sharp' with 'sharply' to make the sentence correct. In the context of the statement, we need an adverb instead of an adjective to modify the phrasal verb "cut back".

    The number of flu cases (1)/ is decreasing slow, (2)/ thanks to the (3)/ timely governmental efforts. (4)
    Solutions
    The error is in the second part of the statement. 'Decreasing' has been used as a verb in the given sentence and to modify it, we need to replace the adjective 'slow' by the adverb 'slowly'. 'Slowly' is an adverb of manner and when placed after the verb, places emphasis on the verb.
    So, the correct answer is option B.

    Liverpool opened up an eight-point lead at (1)/ the top of the Premier League with an (2)/ emphatic and huge impressive (3)/ win over defending champions. (4)
    Solutions
    The error is in the third part of the sentence.
    We need to replace 'huge' with 'hugely'. 'Impressive' is an adjective and will be modified by an adverb. 'Huge' is an adjective and need to be replaced by the adverb 'hugely' to make the sentence correct.
    So, the correct answer is option C.

     The company is negotiating (1)/ new store launches (2)/ at near (3)/ half the rent (4).
    Solutions
    Replace ‘at near’ by ‘at nearly’. As adverb the difference between nearly and near is that nearly is almost, but not quite; slightly short of while near is having a small intervening distance with regard to something.
    Since the sentence is talking about something which is almost close at half the rent, nearly is apt. Option C is the correct answer.

    The committee will discuss (1)/ the draft in detail (2)/ and will make suggestions for (3)/ proper implementing the scheme. (4)

    Solutions
    The error lies in the second part of the sentence. "Affected" is a verb here, so an adverb must modify it. Hence, "negative" should be replaced by "negatively".

    Solutions
    The use of an adjective ‘general’ is incorrect here. The context requires an adverb as it is modifying an adjective "more aware". So the correct word is ‘generally’.
