Answers:
- Explanation: (a)

Replace “will‘ by “would‘ as the first clause is in the past tense. - Explanation: (b)
Use “a‘ before “lot of‘. - 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. - Explanation: (c)
Remove the words “not to ignore and use “nor‘. - 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. - Explanation: (c)
Replace “luggages‘ by “items of luggage‘. - Explanation: (b)
Use “was‘ after “he‘. The clause would be “he was not only competent‘. - 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. - Explanation: (c)
Remove “more‘. “More‘ is not used with an adjective in its comparative degree. - Explanation: (c)
Remove “he can‘. It is superfluous. - Explanation: (b)
