Solution:- won't she

In a sentence with a question tag, if the sentence is positive, the tag is usually negative, and vice versa.

here the sentence is positive, 'will send' so we use a form of "be" or other auxiliary verb or modal is used in the tag. Here it becomes, 'won't she'.

Use pronouns for people, not proper names, in question tags. Here, for Raisha, we use 'she'.

Solution:- The correct form of comparative degree of quick is quicker and not more quickly. Hence, instead of using 'more quickly' we use 'quicker' to make the sentence grammatically correct.

Solution:- Puja had hoped to paint the room yesterday

The tense that we have used here is 'past perfect tense'. let's first understand the structure of past perfect tense:

Subject + had + V3 + Object. So here the use of 'have painted' is incorrect since it takes the present perfect form again. We cannot use two perfect tenses in the same clause of the same sentence. So we eliminate 'have' and use the simple form of 'paint' to identify the object.

Hence it becomes: Puja had hoped to paint the room.

Solution:- to take interest in his school. The isn't required

Here, interest is an abstract noun and according to the rules of articles, any abstract noun does not take any article before it. So the use of definite article 'the; before interest is incorrect.

Answer - a graduate seeing things as they are

While the structure of the sentence follows a simple present tense form, the verb used here should be an infinitive verb 'to' instead of a gerund 'ing'. so we use 'to see' instead of 'seeing'.

Solution:- with a little dedication is the correct form of speech.

The simple difference between the terms 'little' and 'a little' is that the former has a negative tone to it, and the latter has a positive meaning. When 'little' is used, it means hardly any or minute amount. But if one uses ‘a little’ in a sentence, it means some or a small quantity.

Here it means that with some hardwork and dedication, so some identified amount of dedication is meant here.

Solution:- who help themselves is the correct form of speech.

Since the subject here is 'those' which means multiple number of people, hence plural. so we use a plural verb to denote the same subject. So we use 'help.'
