Answer:
The appropriate choices are- i) a) brings, ii) b) give them back iii) b) few and iv) b) should, can
Explanation:
i) In the first sentence, "He who brings the solution...", the verb "bring" must be used in its plural form since the subject "he" is singular according to the rules of subject-verb agreement.
ii) In the second sentence "I...... have to give them back to...", the keys are referred to as "them" since they are plural.
iii) In the third sentence, the word few should be used in "There were few people...". This is because "few" means not many whereas "a few" means some. Thus contextually, "few" is the correct option.
iv) In the last sentence, "A knowledge of what should be....the doctor arrives can always be....", the words, "should" and "can" must be used respectively.
