The idiom "burning the midnight oil" means working late into the night, usually on a task that requires focus or effort. This idiom originates from the old practice of using oil lamps to work after dark.

"Neither" is singular, so the verb in part (b) should be “is” instead of “are.”

The sentence is in the present perfect tense. Therefore, in part (d), "is implemented" should be replaced with "be implemented" to maintain proper subjunctive usage.

'Sociable' is a synonym of 'Gregarious'. Similarly, 'Reserved' is a synonym of 'Taciturn'.

'Stingy' is an antonym of 'Generous'. Similarly, 'Humble' is an antonym of 'Arrogant'.

Option A is the correct answer. The subject of the sentence, "rules," is plural. Therefore, the verb must agree with it in number. The plural verb "have" is required instead of the singular "has."

"Many positive changes" is correct because "changes" is countable, and "many" is used with countable nouns.

Corrected Sentence: The new rules implemented by the company have brought many positive changes to the workplace.

Option D is the correct answer.

The word "till" is incorrect in this context because it means "up to" a point in time but is not used to indicate a deadline or point of completion. The correct word would be "by" when referring to a specific deadline.

Option B is the correct answer.The verb "emphasized" does not require a preposition like "on" after it when directly followed by the object of emphasis. The phrase should be "emphasized the importance of punctuality", which is grammatically correct and concise.

Option A: "Emphasized" does not pair with "about." This construction is incorrect in standard English.

Option C: The preposition "at" is inappropriate in this context and does not fit grammatically.

Option D: The preposition "for" is not used with "emphasized" in this way. It would distort the meaning.

Option A is the correct answer. The phrase "did not knew" is incorrect because the auxiliary verb "did" already carries the past tense, so the main verb "knew" must be in its base form "know".

Option B: Incorrect because "did not" requires the base form "know," and adding "about" unnecessarily changes the meaning.
Option C: "Does" (present tense) cannot pair with "knew" (past tense). It should be "does not know."
Option D: "knows" (present tense) cannot follow "did not," which requires the base form "know."

Option C is the correct answer.

The phrase "such as" is the appropriate choice here because it is used to provide specific examples, which aligns with the context of the sentence. The inclusion of "the" before "lack of infrastructure" adds precision, referring to a specific issue, and "an" before "inadequate workforce" is correct as it modifies the singular noun "workforce."

Option A lacks the definite article "the" before "lack of infrastructure," making the phrase less precise.

Option B uses "like," which is less formal and not suitable for listing specific examples, and "or" changes the intended meaning.

Option D similarly uses "like," which is informal, and the structure "or inadequate workforce" is awkward and lacks parallelism.
