    A wings in the hospital has remained Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B wings under the hospital have remained Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C wings over the hospital have remained to be Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D wings of the hospital have remained Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No improvement required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    'The phrase wings in the hospital' is not incorrect, but 'wings of the hospital' is the more natural and grammatically correct phrasing when referring to parts of the hospital. Additionally, 'have been remained' is incorrect; the correct construction is 'have remained'. Have remained is the appropriate form for the present perfect tense, indicating the state of the wings (dilapidated) has persisted. Correct sentence: "Despite a patient flow of over 5,000 a day, several wings of the hospital have remained in a dilapidated state."
