    A 1 and 4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 2 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2 and 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 2 and 3 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 3 and 5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Sentences (2), (3) and (5) impart the same meaning here. However, (3) is incorrect because “Thailand and Nigeria recognise” is the right version and not “recognizes”. Also, “advantage” is incorrectly used as a verb here. (1) deviates from the meaning of (2),(3) and (5) is as it talks about exploring the idea of recognition as a sport, while (4) deviates from the meaning of (2),(3) and (5) is as it says that recognition of Scrabble as a game itself is a problem (it is the consequences of recognizing Scrabble as a game which are creating problems)
