• C. 4,5,6
• D. 2,3,4
• E. 1,2,3

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

• Sentence 1: "Have you any clothes to dispose of?" → Correct. The correct phrase is dispose of not just dispose. 

• Sentence 2: "I saw a pleasant dream last night." → Incorrect. In English, the usual collocation is had a dream, not saw a dream. 

• Sentence 3: "I have done it many a times safely." → Incorrect. The correct form is many a time (singular), not "many a times". 

• Sentence 4: "Students struggle to cope up with academic pressure." → Incorrect. The correct phrase is cope with, not "cope up with". 

• Sentence 5: "You need not give negative feedback to your employees." → Correct. Need not + verb is grammatically correct usage. 

• Sentence 6: "My friend is good at playing football." → Correct. After "good at", the verb takes the -ing form. 

Hence, the grammatically correct sentences are: 1, 5, 6.
