Correct sentence: Modern cinematography techniques are far superior to those employed in the past.

Answer is option C.

There is an error in option C, and the error is use of preposition. In the given context, 'of' should be used instead of 'with'.

Answer is option C.

The sentence talks about some band. Thus, the correct word that will fill the blank is "they're".

Answer is option B.

The language of the sentence suggests that the people had very less time and thus were not able to get any lasting impressions of the places they visited.

Thus, among the options, "brief" and "fleeting" are the most appropriate choices for the blanks.

Option B cannot be the answer since it is similar in meaning to "perseverance"

Option C is rejected because the sentence structure requires a word more serious in nature.

Option D is rejected because it is negative in tone and thus, does not suit the sentence.

Hence, the answer is option A as "perseverance and patience" are complementary to each other and support the sentence.

The sentence talks about "dilution" and "sabotage" in the land reforms, which indicates a negative tone.

Thus, among the options, "collusion" is the most suitable word for the answer.

Hence, the answer is option A.

The correct sentence should be:

"Neither the Bank manager nor the other staff members were able to calm the distressed client."

Therefore, the correct option is was able.
