    B 2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    E All are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    2- here, ‘they are’ is incorrect. From the viewpoint, ‘it is important’ is correct. 4- ‘cheaper’ is incorrect here. The first adjective is in the positive degree. So, ‘cheap’ is correct. No need to use comparative degree. 5- we are talking about a city. So, ‘they’ should be replaced with ‘it’ ad ‘keep’ with ‘keeps’. From the viewpoint of enlarging a city’s effective labour market and economic output, it is therefore very important to keep the commute time short and commuting cost cheap within a city as it keeps growing in population.
