    B Only III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Both II & III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Only I Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No correction required Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    As the sentence is mentioned in past tense, thus second form of verb (v2) ‘arrived’ should be used. Also, the idea here is to mention that in the ‘summit’, the Russian President had an individual presence, thus ‘in-person’ is the best phrase to be used here. These correct combinations are mentioned only in I while II and II are incorrect. Hence, option D is the correct answer.
