Correct sentence: The Indian cricket team is efficient and hard-working.

The idiom 'fight tooth and nail' means 'to engage in vigorous combat or make a strenuous effort, using all one's resources'.

Refer to: ... some sharp variations ...

Refer to: 
… “Most of these are “leave without pay” and offered to employees having a strong performance track record. …
This confirms that the statement I is false.
Refer to:

Refer to: ‘Nor did it press hard for “mutual recognition”, in which the EU would accept Britain’s rules as a basis for future trading as long as they did not diverge too much. The City is likely instead to be left with “equivalence”, a piecemeal status that the EU sometimes grants to third countries.’

All statements are incorrect as per the passage.

Refer to: ‘.Though Brexit’s final form is unclear, only the softest of departures would keep Britain in the single market. And nothing short of that would safeguard “passporting” rights for City firms. These allow financial firms in any EU country to sell in any other and matter hugely in banking and asset management.’

As per the underlined statements above, only option A makes sense and conveys the right reason for the importance of the Single market.

Simple present tense 

• We use the simple present tense when an action is happening right now, or when it happens regularly

• The instructions given below should be followed while changing a simple past sentence to a passive voice.
  • Find the subject and object of the sentence and exchange their places; make changes in their cases as well if subject and object are pronouns.
  • Use the preposition 'by' before the agent.
  • Use an appropriate helping verb(is) according to the tense of the active form. (Simple present- is/are/am +v3)
  • Always use the third form of the main verb(sold) in passive form.
  • At last line up the remaining part.
    

So, the final sentence is - Stationery is not sold at this shop.

The plural verb 'are' does not agree with its singular subject 'rose'; therefore 'are' will be replaced with 'is'.

Correct sentence: Rose, like other flowers that have medicinal qualities, is also useful for making perfumes.
