Answer: Option A
:
A
Option: (A)
A.Don't presume that every pilgrim will return safe and sound from the Kumbh fair since there's many a slip betwixt the cup and the lip.
Statement is correct : Correct idiomatic usage "There's many a slip betwixt the cup and the lip"
B. The gifts of the father and the son were similar.
Statement is wrong.
When we use coordinating conjunctions, we need to coordinate the same things. Here the aim is to coordinate the gifts of father and son. But the statement coordinates father and son. The correct statement is "The gifts of the father and those of the son were similar"
C. If I were he, I should not go.
Statement is correct. When you are comparing subjects use the subjective form.
D. Finally the championship game ended with the result 5-2 to Germany.
