The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
• 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.

हैदराबाद की जलवायु बहुत अच्छी है। न यहाँ अधिक गर्मी पड़ती है और न ही अधिक जाड़ा। यहाँ वर्षा खूब होती है लेकिन सड़कों पर कीचड़ नहीं दिखाई देता। पठारी इलाका होने की वजह से यहाँ पानी बह जाता है और कहीं सड़कों पर इकट्ठा नहीं होता। अब तो जनसंख्या बढ़ जाने से कुछ अधिक गर्मी पड़ने लगी है। बसन्त के आने पर प्रकृति की शोभा यहाँ बढ़ जाती है। रास्तों पर वृक्षों की ठंडी छाया रहती है। वाटिकाओं से फूलों की सुगन्ध आती रहती है। दूर-दूर तक हरियाली दिखाई पड़ती है। देखकर मन आनन्दित होता है।
