‘Subject + Present Perfect/Present Perfect Continuous Tense’ +……’for + period of time’. And considering the given options, option C is an apt choice.
Q5. The parents should not (discriminate from) the girl child.
discriminate between
discriminate against
discriminate at

The correct preposition to use with ‘discriminate’ is ‘against’. To discriminate against a group of people or in favor of a group of people means to unfairly treat them worse or better than other groups.
Q6. Bad habits must be (nipped at the bud).
nipped off the bud
nipped in the bud
nipped on the bud

‘Nip in the bud’ is an idiomatic expression which means halt something at an early stage or thoroughly check something. Hence option B is correct.
Q7. Do take an umbrella with you (lest you do not get well).
lest you might not get well
lest you should not get well
lest you should get well
No Improvement
Solution:
Lest takes ‘should’ with it but used in an affirmative sentence as it itself contains negative sense and hence is not followed by negative words. Hence option C improves the sentence.
Q8. We have received many (anomalous) letters about this issue.
analogous
synonymous
anonymous
No Improvement
Solution:
Anonymous: not identified by name; of unknown name. Hence option C justifies the sentence.
Q9. He told (to us everything he knew.)
us everything he knew
us everything he is knowing
us everything he was knowing
No Improvement
Solution:
A basic grammar rule requires not to follow ‘to’ after using told as it already implies ‘said to’. Rest Hence option A is the correct choice.
