The correct answer is Option (2) → A, D, E only

• A. The roof collapsed that very moment.

  • Incorrect: The phrase "that very moment" is awkwardly placed. A better construction might be: The roof collapsed at that very moment.

• B. This is more than flesh and blood can endure.

  • Correct: This is a standard idiomatic expression and is grammatically correct.

• C. He puts on an air of dignity.

  • Correct: This is grammatically correct and conveys a clear meaning.

• D. The tailor's bill has hurried up to a large amount.

  • Incorrect: The phrase "hurried up" doesn't fit the context of a bill increasing. A better phrase would be "increased to a large amount" or "mounted to a large amount."

• E. They were very grateful to him for kindness.

  • Incorrect: The sentence is missing an article before "kindness." The correct version would be: They were very grateful to him for his kindness.
