    A AD and BE Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B BF and CE Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C AE, BD and CF Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D AF and CE Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E CD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A: here, an adjective is appropriate, so that it modifies the noun ‘shelter’. But, the adjective ‘committed’ is not appropriate here and ‘properly’ is an adverb, which does not fit here. B: here, a verb is appropriate. Since ‘would’ is used, the base form of the verb is correct. So, there are no appropriate words for B. C: here ‘committed’ is a perfect fit. So, option 5 is correct here.
