1. Please talk to the concerned c
3. He was not only a thief, but also a murderer. ( These are called coordinating conjunctions and they require parallelism after them. )
4. They thought that the plan would succeed. (Please see sentence structure with succeed, which is a verb)
5. It is unlikely of him to win the race. (Please see A Practical English Grammar by Thomson & Martinet)
7. They prevented the driver from stopping. ( Prevent is used as a verb and it requires usage of Gerund after it and not infinitive. In order to correct oneself, no candidate is allowed to change the verb and sentence structure.)
