    Solution

    Sentence B- The phrase 'at Thursday' is incorrect. The correct preposition should be 'on Thursday', indicating a specific day of the week. Sentence E-According to rules, ‘to be’ is followed by the past participle form of the verbs and other adjectives, so, ‘new evidence to be presented’ is correct. The correct sentence is-"The top Senate Democrat, Chuck Schumer, made a fresh appeal on Thursday for Republican senators to join with Democrats in voting to allow witnesses and new evidence to be presented in the trial."
