ANSWER

In part [a], the use of the preposition 'in' is incorrect as the subject 'I' is going to pick the motorbike and not riding it. So, 'to' would be the correct replacement of 'in'.

In part [b], the use of the pronoun 'he' is incorrect  as the sentence is in first person 'I' and not third person 'he'. Also, the passage has only a single character and that is 'I'. So, "I" should be the correct replacement of 'he'.

In part [c], the use of 'about' is incorrect. "About" should be replaced with 'for' as we 'search for something' and not 'search about something'.

In part [d], 'and' is incorrect. The correct replacement for 'and' would be 'but'. The use of 'but' helps explain the situation more clearly that even though a bank employee helped search for the key; the key was still not found.
