Sol. ‘Depend’ is always followed by

S8. Ans.(b)

tense takes preposition ‘for’ or ‘Since’ in case of the period of time. E.g. I
have worked with this company for the last ten years. She has been ill since
Monday.

S9. Ans.(c)

Sol. Use ‘unable’ in place of ‘disabled’.

car accident. And ‘unable’ (adj.) means ‘not able to do something.’ E.g., The
train was unable to move.

order of two past events. The past perfect shows the earlier action and the
past simple shows the later action

here an infinitive is required. [(To
+V1) is used for Purpose implying future time.] i.e. I need a lot of money

Sol. Use ‘sent’ in place of ‘send’. [S+ Had/Has/ Have +V3] e.g. She has sent me a letter.
