    B Only I & II Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Only I & III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only II & III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Rest (noun):  the remaining part of something/ an instance or period of resting. Statements II and III use the word correctly in the above senses. II implies that the remainder of something had content dispute. III says that the airport has a place to have some rest for the southbound traffic. Statement I does not use the word correctly and it must be replaced with ‘trace’. I says that rainfall is varied widely; from just a very small quantity in some places to an inch or more in some places. Trace (noun):  a very small quantity, especially one too small to be accurately measured. Hence, the correct answer is option D.
