Answer 2

The sentences have been rectified and corrected as follows:

1. We lifted her off the bed

2. and as is custom,

3. laid her on the ground

4. and covered her with a red shroud.

• In the first sentence, it refers to displacing a person from the bed and so 'off' is the appropriate preposition as 'off' refers to a movement away from a place.

• In the second sentence, the noun form 'custom' is to be used as it refers to a ritual, or tradition.

• In the third sentence and fourth sentences, the past form(simple past) of the words lay ( laid) and cover( covered) is to be used as it talks of an incident of the past.
