• A. A & B
• B. B & C
• C. C & D
• D. D & E
• E. A & E

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Identify grammatical errors in the sentences.
- Sentence A: ”I shall be there at about 9: 00 a.m.” is incorrect due to the incorrect spacing after the colon. The correct form is ”I shall be there at about 9:00 a.m.” - Sentence B: ”Keep off of the grass” is incorrect. The phrase ”off of” is redundant. The correct form is ”Keep off the grass.” - Sentence C: This sentence is correct as it correctly compares the speed of two cars. - Sentence D: This sentence is correct; ”angry at” is an acceptable phrase in informal usage. - Sentence E: This sentence is correct as it is a proper comparative construction.
Step 2: Evaluate the combinations.
- Option 1 (A & B): Both sentences A and B are incorrect.
- Option 2 (B & C): Sentence C is correct. 
- Option 3 (C & D): Sentence D is correct. 
- Option 4 (D & E): Both D and E are correct. 
- Option 5 (A & E): Sentence E is correct.
