    B Only II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only I & III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Only I & II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Both boldened phrases have errors. In the first boldened phrase, the verb 'accompanied' is followed by the preposition 'on', which is incorrect. Usually while talking about a location, the verb 'accompany' is followed by the preposition 'to'. In the second boldened phrase, the pronoun used is plural so the following noun should be also plural (lives). Hence, (b) is the correct answer.
