1. D
The underlined part that needs correction is: "is going up" should be "has been going up" or "has risen" (but the main correction would be "is" -> "has" in "the exploitation...is" which changes the sentence structure, however based on the options the sentence could be correct and so the verb "is going up" would be correct). More accurate: the underlined part that needs correction is: "is" -> "has" in "the exploitation... is".
2. A
The underlined part that needs correction is: "have been not" should be "have not been".
3. B
The underlined part that needs correction is: "on the world" should be "around the world".
4. C
The underlined part that needs correction is: "a number of" should be "a number of" for uncountable nouns. However, there is indeed an error - "a number of issues" sounds unnatural, however "There are a number of issues" does. So a better answer would be that "there is" should be "there are".
5. B
The underlined part that needs correction is: "majorly" should be "mainly".
1. The correct answer is C. respiratory.
2. The correct answer is D. activities.
