Should we found no way to get the wheels back in motion, we’d eventually face total societal collapse.
CorrectWith the future conditional tense ‘should’, the first form of the verb ‘find’ must be used here. A is incorrect as it uses the past perfect tense, while the rest of the sentence uses future conditional. ‘Shall’ turns the statement structure to that of a question, which would alter the meaning of the sentence. C is the right answer.

8. Question
Please don’t try to put off until tomorrow as you have enough time today to complete it.
CorrectA verb is required here to replace the given phrase in the sentence. ‘Suspension’, which means the action of suspending someone or something or the condition of being suspended, is a noun and will be eliminated. ‘Advance’ meaning to move forwards in a purposeful way, will actually provide a contrary meaning to the sentence, thereby getting eliminated. ‘Delayed’ – to make (someone or something) late or slow, is the past participle form of the base form of delay; hence, will be eliminated as well. ‘Comment’ will not make any sense in the given context. ‘Postpone’ – to cause or arrange for (something) to take place at a time later than that first scheduled, will be the prefect word to replace the given phrase in the sentence, making option A the correct answer.

9. Question
He didn’t drink enough water, so he passed out at the end of the race.
CorrectWe need the past participle of the base form of the verb here, which will eliminate ‘collapse’ – suddenly fall down or give way, it being a verb. ‘Revered’ – feel deep respect or admiration for (something), will not find any relevance in the given context, and could be eliminated. ‘Accused’ – a person or group of people who are charged with or on trial for a crime, will never take the preposition ‘at’ after it; hence, can be eliminated. ‘Blacked’ on a standalone basis will refer to make (something) black, especially with polish, but to be correct here will need to be paired with ‘out’. Blacked-out thus formed, will give the exact meaning as that of collapse. The correct answer will be ‘fainted’ which also has the same meaning as that of collapse. Option C will be the correct answer.

10. Question
Besides coming across people who have not much in material terms, but are very happy because they enjoy a rich spiritual inner life.
CorrectBeginning with a participle clause as in A and C, would require us to name the subject, i.e. who came across people, which is not mentioned in the sentence. ‘Besides’ is used to state a dissimilar, additional fact, which is not done in the sentence. D begins with ‘when’, which would require two dependent clauses to be stated, which is not the case. Only B fits in the sentence grammatically and contextually.
