Question :16

Because his work as a painter requires that he use products containing strong chemicals, he has developed skin allergy.

Answer: (e)

No correction required.

Question :17

What is needed now is not mere declarations or promises, but actions—actions to fulfil the promises already made.

Answer: (e)

No correction required.

Question :18

Despite considerable achievements in other areas, humans still cannot control weather and probably never be able to do so.

Answer: (b)

There are two clauses joined by 'and': (i) human beings still cannot control weather; (ii) (Human beings) probably (will) never be able to do so. As the verb 'cannot control' cannot be common to both clauses, a suitable verb has to be inserted—that is 'will'.

Question :19

Because it was a stormy night, he dare not to go out in the dark.

Answer: (c)

The sentence is in the past tense; so 'dared not go' would be the correct answer. 'Dare not' or 'dared not' is not followed by 'to'.

Question :20

We are happy to note that emission controls was created to reduce air pollution.

Answer: (c)

Plural verb is required.
