Answers:

  1. Explanation: (a)
    Use “travels‘ as the noun, “News‘ is singular.
  2. Explanation: (b)
    Replace “will‘ by “would‘ as the first clause is in the past tense.
  3. Explanation: (b)
    Use “a‘ before “lot of‘.
  4. Explanation: (c)
    Replace “has‘ by “had‘ because the first clause is in the “past indefinite
    tense. In such a case an event that took place earlier than that must be in the
    past perfect tense.
  5. Explanation: (c)
    Remove the words “not to ignore and use “nor‘.
  6. Explanation: (b)
    Use “the‘ before “most‘. When the preposition “of‘ is used after a superlative
    degree adjective like most, best, greatest, the article “the‘ is used before
    it.
  7. Explanation: (c)
    Replace “luggages‘ by “items of luggage‘.
  8. Explanation: (b)
    Use “was‘ after “he‘. The clause would be “he was not only competent‘.
  9. Explanation: (a)
    Remove “will‘. In the conditional sentences, where both the acts are to take
    place in future the clause with “if‘ is in present indefinite tense.
  10. Explanation: (c)
    Remove “more‘. “More‘ is not used with an adjective in its comparative degree.
  11. Explanation: (c)
    Remove “he can‘. It is superfluous.
  12. Explanation: (b)
    Replace “come‘ by “comes‘ because the subject “opportunity‘ is singular in
    number.
