Solutions:

S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. Use ‘because’ in place of ‘why’. In sense of the reason ‘because’ is used. Because answers what why asks.

S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. Use ‘many’ in place of ‘much’. For countable nouns many is used while for uncountable ones, much is used.

S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. The sentence is in passive voice as he (the subject) is the receiver of action (promote). Passive voice expects verb in be+V3 form. Therefore, add ‘been’ after ‘has’.

S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. Use ‘of’ in place of ‘by’. Usually ‘shares of/in’ is used.

S5. Ans.(d)
Sol. The second part of the sentence should be in future tense: If the manufacturing sector continues to grow at the same rate for the next few months, I think it will have a high growth rate this year.
