Sol.1.(a) We can't use ‘in case’ with ‘that’. Hence, ‘we had to
decline several orders because the production’ will be answer..
Sol.2.(c) Although is wrong conjunction according to the
context of the sentence. Hence, ‘as’ will be answer. because ‘as’
is used to show the reason.
Sol.3.(c)
‘Because’ means ‘for the reason that’. However, the
phrase ‘in order that’ will be replaced by ‘because’ to make the
sentence grammatically correct. Hence, ‘because’ will be
answer..
Sol.4.(b) The given sentence is in past simple tense so it will
have a verb in its past form(disrupted) and not in the present
continuous form(disrupting). Hence, ‘communications
disrupted’ will be answer.
Sol.5.(a)The given sentence is in past simple tense so it will
have a verb in its past simple form(knocked) and not in the
present continuous form(knocking). Hence, ‘knocked down’

given’ will be answer

weeks, 3 days, etc. In the given question, the period of time is 7
