Answer: (c)

The error is in the third part of the sentence. 
The word 'bangs' mean sudden loud noises or a hairstyle where the fringe of hair cut straight across the forehead.
To make this sentence contextually correct, the word 'bangs' must be replaced with the word 'banks', meaning 'land alongside or sloping down to a river or lake'.
Hence, the correct answer is C.

Answer: (c)

The error is in the third part of the sentence.
The word streak means: move fast at a certain direction, or, to leave a line or mark over a surface with something.
To make the sentence contextually correct, it must be replaced with the word strike, which means: something which occurs suddenly and result in harmful or damaging effects.
So the correct answer is C.

Answer: (c)

The mistake is in the third part of the sentence. 

The error is in the word 'rathar'. The correct spelling for the word 'rather' is 'rather'. 

So the correct answer is C.

Answer: (b)

The word 'greet' means: give a polite word of recognition or something used as a sign of welcome when meeting someone, such as 'welcome'

The word 'happy' means: a feeling or showing pleasure or contentment, or satisfied with the quality of something
The word 'fierce' means: a display of ferocious aggressiveness
The word 'charm' means: the quality of fascinating others, or delighting others
The word 'typical' means: having the distinctive qualities of a particular type, symbolic of something.

Given the context here, the word 'happy' fits perfectly as it is a perfect adjective which describes the lion's state with five dogs. 
The word charm will not be the correct choice because the sentence is in the past tense and hence, 'charmed' would have been the correct answer and not 'charm'.
So the correct answer is B.

Answer: (d)

The word resting means: ceasing work or movement in order to relax, sleep, or recover strength

The word 'stretching' means: be made or be capable of being made longer or wider without tearing or breaking.
The word 'extract' means: remove or take out, generally with the use of effort or force.
The word 'collecting' means: gather something or accumulate over a period of time
The word nursing means:

the profession or practices of providing care for the sick and infirm.

Given the context here, the word which perfectly fits the blank is 'collecting' as the bees accumulated honey to fill their combs.

So, the correct answer is D.

Answer: (b)

The word 'cover' means: put something on top of or in front of (something) in order to protect or conceal it
The word 'dropped' means :mention in passing, in order to impress or make a mark
The word 'wanted' means: had a desire to possess or do something; wished for
The word 'possibly' means: perhaps, sometimes to indicate doubt or hesitance
The word 'overlooked' means: fail to notice

In this case, the word 'dropped' makes sense contextually as the woman in question makes a passing remark that she wants to come to the party.

Hence, the correct answer is B.
