    C B & C Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D C & E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    B – ‘four days from now’ is the correct usage. The idea is, after four days, the satellite will be placed. So using ‘till’ is wrong. C – Use of ‘their’ is wrong. We are talking about only one satellite. So ‘its’ should be used in the place of ‘their’. The correct statement would be The satellite is functioning very well and in another four days from now, it will be placed into its specified slot in the Geo-Synchronous Orbit after a series of manoeuvres.
