Explanation:
The correct answer is option D, "No improvement."
- "Between themselves" is a correct phrase that means that two or more people are dividing something among themselves.
- "Amongst themselves" is also a correct phrase, but it is less commonly used than "between themselves." It is more common in British English than American English.
- "With themselves" is not correct in this context because it suggests that the thieves are sharing the loot with themselves, which is redundant.
- Therefore, there is no need to change the original sentence, and option D is the correct answer.
In conclusion, the sentence "The two thieves distributed the loot between themselves" is grammatically correct, and there is no need to make any changes.

Pragya nambiar answered |
Explanation:
The given sentence is in the imperative form, which is used to give commands or advice. In this case, it is giving advice or caution to someone about the possibility of being cheated. The correct sentence should convey this caution effectively.
Analysis of options:
a) that you will not be cheated
This option changes the verb "are" to "will be," which changes the meaning of the sentence. It suggests that the cheating will happen in the future, rather than cautioning against it in the present. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
b) you will not be cheated
This option removes the word "that" from the sentence, which changes the structure and meaning. The word "that" is necessary to introduce the subordinate clause and convey the caution effectively. Therefore, this option is incorrect.
c) that you are not cheated
This option maintains the structure and meaning of the original sentence. It effectively conveys the caution to the person, ensuring they are aware of the possibility of being cheated in the present. Therefore, this option is correct.
d) No improvement
This option suggests that the original sentence is already correct and does not require any changes. However, as explained above, option c) provides the correct structure and meaning, making it a better choice than the original sentence. Therefore, this option is incorrect.

Explanation:
The given sentence is in the form of the comparative degree. We need to make a correction to make it a superlative degree.
The correct answer is option 'B' - he is better suited.
Let's understand the options one by one:
Option 'A' - he is suited best - This option is incorrect as it is in the wrong word order. In English, the adverb of manner (best) usually comes after the verb or verb phrase.
Option 'B' - he is better suited - This option is correct as it changes the sentence to the superlative degree. It means that he is more suited than the other candidate.
Option 'C' - he is best suited - This option is also correct as it changes the sentence to the superlative degree. However, option 'B' is preferred as it is more grammatically correct.
Option 'D' - No improvement - This option is incorrect as the sentence needs to be corrected.
Thus, option 'B' - he is better suited is the correct answer.

Explanation:
The given sentence is in the present tense, indicating that the action is happening currently. Therefore, the correct tense to be used in this sentence is the simple present tense.
The correct answer is option C, "changed," which is in the simple present tense.
The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:
A) "Must change" is in the present tense, but it implies a strong obligation or necessity, which is not conveyed by the original sentence.
B) "Had changed" is in the past tense, which is not appropriate for a sentence referring to a current situation.
D) "No improvement" is not a viable option in this context as it does not provide an alternative correction.
Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
In summary, the sentence should be written as "It is high time she changed her job."

Explanation:
The given sentence is in present tense and the main verb is 'dares'. The verb 'dare' is an irregular verb, which means it does not follow the regular conjugation pattern. Its past tense and past participle forms are 'dared'. Hence, the correct form of the verb 'dare' should be used based on the subject-verb agreement.
Option A: 'he dares to speak' - This is the correct form of the verb 'dare' in present tense for third-person singular subject (he/she/it). It agrees with the subject 'he' and the infinitive 'to speak' is used after the verb 'dares'. This option is grammatically correct and makes sense in the given context.
Option B: 'he dare to speak' - This form of the verb 'dare' is incorrect in present tense for third-person singular subject. It does not agree with the subject 'he'. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option C: 'he dare speak' - This form of the verb 'dare' is also incorrect in present tense for third-person singular subject. It does not agree with the subject 'he' and the infinitive 'to' is missing before the verb 'speak'. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Option D: 'No improvement' - This option suggests that the given sentence is already correct and does not require any improvement. However, this is not true as the subject-verb agreement is not correct in the original sentence. Hence, this option is incorrect.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
The given sentence is in present tense and the main verb is 'dares'. The verb 'dare' is an irregular verb, which means it does not follow the regular conjugation pattern.

The correct answer is option 'C' - "hell bent upon getting". Let's understand why this is the correct answer by analyzing the different options.

c) Hell Bent upon Getting: This option is grammatically correct and contextually appropriate. "Hell bent upon" is an idiomatic phrase that means being determined or resolute in achieving something. It accurately conveys the workers' strong determination to receive what is rightfully theirs.
d) No Improvement: This option suggests that there is no need to make any changes to the original sentence. However, the original sentence can be improved by using the more suitable phrase "hell bent upon getting."
Therefore, option 'C' is the correct answer as it provides the most appropriate phrase to convey the workers' determination to receive what is due to them. The phrase "hell bent upon" conveys a strong sense of resolve and determination, emphasizing the workers' unwavering commitment to obtaining what rightfully belongs to them.
In conclusion, the correct answer is option 'C' - "hell bent upon getting." This option accurately conveys the workers' determination to receive what is due to them, making it the most suitable choice in this context.

Explanation:
Descent:
- The correct word in this sentence is "descent," which means the act of moving downward or lowering from a higher to a lower position.
- It is the most suitable word to describe the action of coming down from the mountain peak.
Other Options:
- Decline: While "decline" can also mean a downward movement, it is usually used in the context of a decrease in quality, quantity, or value, rather than a physical movement.
- Decrease: "Decrease" is a verb that means to make or become smaller or fewer. It does not convey the same action as coming down from a mountain peak.
- The original word "decent" is incorrect in this context as it does not fit the sentence's meaning.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A - descent.
