To answer these questions, we need to understand the meanings of the options and determine which one is the most suitable within the context of the sentences.
1. In some countries, environmental organizations have been _____ to inform people and gain their support.
The phrase "to inform people and gain their support" suggests that the environmental organizations are being created or established for this purpose. The correct answer is therefore (e) set up.
2. All questions must be answered ____and you must sign at the bottom where indicated.
The sentence calls for an adverb that describes how the questions should be answered. The adverb "truthfully" is the appropriate choice here, so the correct answer is (d) truthfully.
Regarding the task to identify and correct errors:
1. If boss comes from Moscow, everybody will get their share.
The mistake in this sentence is the use of "their" instead of "his or her" after "everybody." To make the sentence grammatically correct, it should be "everybody will get his or her share."
2. Tom has never spent his holiday on the beach because he doesn't know to swim.
The error in this sentence is the use of "doesn't know to swim." The correct phrase should be "doesn't know how to swim."
So the corrected sentences are:
1. If the boss comes from Moscow, everybody will get his or her share.
2. Tom has never spent his holiday on the beach because he doesn't know how to swim.
