    I always heard marriage could break out a good friendship.

    Solutions

    Break out means something begins suddenly and break in/into means force entry to a building and both of them do not fit in the context of the sentence. The sentence talks about the ending of a relation and for this the verb "break up" is used. Only option D has the correct form of verb, hence, it is the correct answer.

    The officer rebuked the peon and I for neglecting the duty.

    Solutions

    The bold part contains an error that it uses the pronoun 'I' incorrectly. The bold part is the object of the verb 'rebuked' so an objective case 'me' should be used instead of 'I'. Only option C does it, hence, it is the correct choice.

    Neither of the child seems concerned about the flight.

    Solutions

    ‘Neither’ is not used with singular entity, it is used with plural forms but in the bold part 'neither' is used with a singular noun ‘child’. So, to make this sentence correct, the noun 'child' should be replaced with 'children'. In option C and D, it can be seen but in option B the required preposition 'of' is missing. Hence, option C is the only correct answer.

    It looks as though any attempt to persuade children of the authority of a particular moral code would be tantamount to indoctrination.

    Solutions

    The verb has been incorrectly used here. “Will” and “would” are verbs, and each can be used in various ways. They can be used as modal auxiliary verb in various tenses. “Would” is a past form of "will". Would describes something that was in the future at the time of the original action, but is no longer in the future now, which is not the case in the given sentence. The above sentence is in the present tense and requires “will” to tell what can be expected in the future. Hence, D is correct.

    If she were to be late again, she will have to have a conference with the manager.

    Solutions

    This is a type of conditional statement. In such sentences, the tense in the 'if' clause is the past perfect, and the tense in the main clause is the perfect conditional or the perfect continuous conditional. The second ‘have’ is not an auxiliary pronoun but the main verb. Thus, the correct statement should be, '....she would have to'.
    Hence, the correct answer is option B.

    Solutions

    Invasion means an unwelcome intrusion into another's domain, so the preposition 'into' is incorrect and must be replaced by 'of'. In such a context, 'invasion' is always followed by of.
    Hence, option A is the correct answer.
