Answers :
1) Answer: A

3) Answer: A
“neither —nor” is used in pair thus or should be replaced with “nor”.
4) Answer: C
amusing is a positive degree adjective. To make it comparative “more” should be used before it. thus, “amusing” should be changed to “more amusing”.
5) Answer: B
“has jogged” should be changed to “jogs” which shows the general habit. Perfect tense should not be used as perfect tense is used when we have to show the completion of the activity, and here no completion need to be shown. a general habit is discussed here.

adjacent takes “to” with it.
7) Answer: C
