1) d
We have to join two sentences from the two columns in a way that they form a meaningful and grammatically correct sentence.The sentence A of the column 1 talks about reforms, here one may be confused between statement D and E as both seem to be completing the sentence A but when we take a look at sentence C, we realize that it will go well only with sentence E. 
So pairing will be  A-D,  B-F, C-E


2) d

We have to join two sentences from the two columns in a way that they form a meaningful and grammatically correct sentence.The sentence A of the column 1 talks about public sector enterprise. Sentence F seem to be completing the sentence A. Sentence B talks about a king, so sentence D which talks about giving gifts completes sentence B. Hence, pairing will be A-F,  B-D, C-E


3) No correction is required
RULE  - The order of adjective qualifying a noun is as follow
Quantity - Opinion - Size - Shape - Age - Color - Nationality - Material - Noun

4) B

8) A
Replace 'many a Japanese cities' with 'many Japanese cities'. 
In "Many a +noun " structure, noun is in singular form.Moreover the sentence does not demand "Many a +noun " structure.

Use 'while racing for the bus' otherwise the sentence would mean that Sonali's  bag not Sonali was racing for the bus. (which is funny ) 

RULE   - DANGLING PARTICIPLE
A participle is a verb-adjective.It should be related to a proper subject of reference. If the subject is lacking or if a wrong subject is used, the  sentence will not make any sense.
