    C Both A-B & C-D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D C - D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No correction required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Parts A & B fit well in their respective places introducing us to the main subject of the sentence that the government is trying to accomplish some pending tasks, since the lockdown. Part D ends in an abrupt manner which makes the sentence grammatically incorrect and therefore it needs to be exchanged with part C which makes it grammatically and contextually correct, as it makes clear as to ‘what’ exactly the government has designed, i.e. the ‘packages’. Since the lockdown was imposed in the last week of March, the government has also got cracking on pending reforms in factor markets such as labour and has designed packages to encourage manufacturing competitiveness .
