Answer: (b)

Answer: (d)

Answer: (a)

Certain words take reflexive pronouns with them. For example, address, enjoy, resign etc. Reflexive pronouns (pronoun + self/selves) must be used with above mentioned words. The reflexive pronoun for ‘new comers’ is ‘themselves’.

Therefore ‘themselves’ must be used after ‘enjoyed’. Hence go with option (a).

Answer: (b)

The use of ‘returned’ in the given sentence shows that the sentence is in past tense.

Therefore, in order to make the sentence coherent other parts also must be written in past tense, Hence ‘has’ and ‘gather’ should be replaced with ‘had’ and ‘gathered’.

We find that only option (a) has both the words correctly written. Hence (a) is the correct answer.

Answer: (d)

If we possess something, we say that 'we have something'. In the same way, if we lack something, we say that 'we do not have something/anything' On the basis of above facts, our choice lies with (d).

Now, let us consider other options also. Option (a) does not have ‘do’, hence, it cannot be our choice. The arrangement of words is haphazard in option (b). Here in place of ‘not having’, ‘having not’ is given.

Therefore, this option cannot be the correct answer. Option (c) has two negative phrases ‘does not have’ and ‘do not have’. This option is totally absurd. Hence rule it out. Now, we are left with option (d). This option is absolutely correct.
