Solutions:

S1. Ans. (b)
Sol. Instead of ‘were’, ‘was’ will be used because when two subjects are attached with ‘neither-nor’ then verb is used according to the nearest subject. Here, ‘his wife’ is in ‘third person and singular form’ hence, ‘was’ will replace ‘were’.

S2. Ans. (d)
Sol. ‘to’ will be used instead of ‘than’ because we do not use conjunction ‘than’ after superior, posterior, senior, interior, etc.

S3. Ans. (b)
Sol. Instead of ‘woman’, ‘women’ will be used because after ‘one of’, A number of, either of, neither of, we use plural noun.

S4. Ans. (c)
Sol. ‘any’ will be used instead of ‘no’ as we use ‘any’ with ‘rarely’, ‘seldom’, scarcely’, ‘hardly’ etc. and not ‘no’

S5. Ans. (e)
Sol. The sentence is grammatically and contextually correct. So there would be no change in the sentences making option (e) our viable answer.
