c) Only I and III are correct
d) Both I and II are correct
e) No correction required
1) Answer (D)

An island is surrounded by sea from all sides. Hence, both ‘beyond’ and ‘beside’do not make any sense for the given blank. Thus, only ‘in’ is correct. Hence, option II is the correct answer.

c) Only I and III are correct
d) Both I and II are correct
e) No correction required
4) Answer (B)
Solution:
I conveys the meaning that the civilization was destroyed by some person. This is wrong because civilization cannot be destroyed by some person. III also conveys a similar meaning and hence it is wrong. II is correct. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

8) Answer (C)
Solution:

The given sentence is incorrect as it should be ‘a variety of strategies’ instead of ‘varieties of strategies’. I is not correct as ‘a’ is not needed before ‘multiple’. II is correct. III is also wrong since it should be ‘strategies’ instead of ‘strategy’. Thus, option B is the correct answer.

a) Only I is correct
b) Only III is correct
c) Only I and III are correct
d) All three are correct
e) No correction required

‘Despite of’ is incorrect usage. It should either be ‘Despite’ or ‘In spite of’. Hence, I is correct usage for the given sentence.
