Sol. Use ‘are’ in place of ‘is’ because here ‘staff’ has been used as a plural noun.

S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. Use ‘many’ in place of ‘much’ because ‘many’ is used for number and much is used for quantity.

S8. Ans.(c) Since the doer is at the position of the ‘Subject’, the verb should be in the active voice (….you should select).

S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. Replace ‘nobody’ with ‘none’, because nobody cannot be used when it is followed by …of + Noun/Pronoun.
