    Low wages and repeated (1)/ or prolonged unemployment frequent (2)/ interact to undermine (3)/ the capacity for self-support. (4)
    Solutions
    The word 'frequent' as given should modify 'interact' in the sentence. 'Interact' is a verb, hence the adverbial form of frequent should be used with it. Thus, frequent should be replaced with frequently.

    Solutions
    Segment 4 is incorrect as it contains an incorrect part of speech. Instead of the adjective “historic”, the correct part of the speech used to qualify the adjective “unprecedented” should be the adverb “historically”. An adverb could be used to qualify a verb, an adjective or an adverb.

    He has found out that doors have locks, and (1)/ that little sticks and bits of paper can be gotten into the (2)/ key-hole quiet easily; but he does not seem very (3)/ eager to get them out after they are in. (4)
    Solutions
    The error lies in the third part of the given sentence. We require the adverb “quite” before the adverb “easily”, since this is a case of an adverb of degree modifying another adverb. However, we have “quiet”, an adjective meaning making little or no noise instead, which is incorrect. “Quite” means completely or entirely. Thus, option C is the correct answer.
