1: (D)
Explanation: the sentence is incomplete as ‘will do’ does not have an object. It should therefore be followed by ‘so’. (A) is not correct as ‘government’ is repeated. ‘Policy’ is undefined in (B) and (C).(E) has wrong tense.
2: (A)
Explanation: we let go ‘of’ something, but we turn ‘off’ the lights. The proposals in (B) and (D) might go beyond the scope of the sentence.(E) is a wrong option as well.
3: (C)
Explanation: the correct idiomatic usage to refer to a proliferation of something is ‘have mushroomed’. ‘Blooming’ and ‘blossoming’ are not words that we use to indicate that a lot of schools have come up over night. ‘Mushrooming’ is most apt, literally and figuratively in this regard. ‘All over’ is a more generic term than ‘in every corner’; the latter term is more specific.
