Answer 2

The correct answers are- b) oneself, c) who, d) yours, e) damages, f) concerned with

Explanation:

• In the first sentence oneself has been used. Oneself is a reflexive pronoun that denotes oneself or one person without referring to the gender. Here since the sentence begins with one, hence oneself is the correct option.
• In the second sentence, who is the right answer as human beings have been referred here, and who implies animate objects.
• In the third sentence, yours is the correct answer as you has already been specified in the sentence, and yours implies a sense of possession.
• In the fourth sentence, damages is the right option as injuries occur only to living beings and damages take place for non-living beings. Also a group of houses has been mentioned implying a plurality.
• In the final sentence, concerned with is correct, as the main subject is doing something for the object and is itself taking part in the action. Hence concerned with is used as it serves as an idiomatic phrase meaning to do something.
