    C A Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All are Correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Part A - adverb form of slow (slowly) should be used. Part B - 'has been' is used to indicate something that started in the past and continues in the present, which does not fit into the context here; 'it is possible' would be correct fit. Part C - 'will be those' should be used as the sentence refers to the future. Part D - past participle of hold (held) should be used as the sentence is in past tense. Hence all parts are incorrect grammatically; option e is the correct choice.
