Question :7

After a few minutes, the unconscious boxer began to come out.

'Come round' means to 'recover consciousness' or 'come by a circuitous path'. 'Come out' is to 'emerge'; 'come up' means to 'present itself'; 'come on' is to 'advance'.

Question :8

I suggest that he study medicine.

Answer: (d)

As per the rules of grammar 'suggest that' + 'subject' ('he' here) should be accompanied by a bare infinitive (of the verb). However, should + verb (present tense) can also be used, as in I suggest that he should study medicine, He suggests that she should go to school, He suggests that she attend school.
