Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → B and C only
A. The driver jumped of the car. — Incorrect.
- Movement away from a vehicle needs "out of" (or "off" for a bus or bike).
- Correct form: The driver jumped out of the car.
B. Mumbai is famous for its textiles. — Correct.
- The adjective "famous" is followed by "for".
C. There is no cure for the common cold. — Correct.
- The noun "cure" takes "for" before the illness.
D. Suresh went there by my bike. — Incorrect.
- "By" is used with a means of transport without a determiner (by bike, by bus).
- With "my", the preposition is "on".
- Correct form: Suresh went there on my bike.
E. Camels are adapted to life on desert. — Incorrect.
- One lives in a desert, and the noun needs an article.
- Correct form: Camels are adapted to life in the desert.
