C. find a home back here, like a daughter in law who if make to suffer at her

Replace make with made, because made to suffer means subjected to suffering while make to suffer is a grammatically incorrect phrase, and as the sentence is talking about a hypothetical situation which has taken place as suggested by if, thus a past form of make will be used, making option c) correct.

Show Correct Answers

D. of the benefits in lack of the identification card.

Replace in with for, because one gets the benefit for a situation (in this case a situation where the person does not have an identification card i.e. Aadhar Card). Whereas lack in the identification card means an error in the identification card, and this changes the meaning of the sentence.
