Meera Rana answered
Most English idioms obey tense agreement, and “take (great) pains” is one of them. The expression most often is used with ‘great’ in it. Moreover, the ‘take’ will have to change for the tense of the sentence. Hence, the sentence should be:
His boss admires him a lot as he 'took' great pain over his work.

When something belongs to us, we feel jealousy but when something does not belong to us, we feel envy.
So here jealousy will be used.

The correct sentence is "Sheep are economically useful" (A) as the word "sheep" is the correct plural form of the noun.

Explanation:

- The word "sheep" is a collective noun, which means it refers to a group of animals rather than a single animal.
- The singular form of the noun is "sheep" and the plural form is also "sheep". Therefore, the sentence should read "Sheep are economically useful" instead of "Sheeps are economically useful".
- The rest of the sentence is grammatically correct. Sheep are indeed reared in the hills for their economic value, such as for their wool, meat, and milk.
- The option (D) "no error" is incorrect as there is an error in the sentence.

In summary, the correct answer is (A) "Sheep are economically useful".
