    A CD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B AD Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C BC Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D AB Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E No error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The errors are in (B) & (C). In part (B), the use of verb 'troubled' is incorrect; the adjective 'real' indicates that a noun should be used instead. In part (C), the use of 'which' is incorrect; 'which' is used in case of non-essential clauses. The clause after 'which' is an essential clause, thus, 'that' should be used here instead. Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
