Answer 2

Answer:

Mr. Srinivasan is likely to become Chairman of the Group after the retirement of his father.    

Due to your error, the expected consignment has been delayed by a week.

On account of the increase in sales, the software firm has achieved an eight percent rise in net profit.

Explanation:

The word ‘likely’ used in the first sentence means something that might happen, while ‘after’ means something that can happen at another period of time.  

‘Due’ means because of, while ‘expected’ means anticipated

'Increase' means an expansion in the amount of something, while a movement towards upward is ‘rise’.
