The wrong answer is A. It should be “occurred”

Why it should use “occurred”? Because this sentence is past tense, therefore it should use verb 2 not verb 1. Besides, the sentence above is also an IF CONDITIONAL sentence type 2, which the pattern should be IF + SIMPLE PAST followed by  PRESENT CONDITIONAL. Thus, the sentence should be If a crisis occurred, those unfamiliar with the procedures wouldn't know how to handle the situation.

The wrong answer is D. It should be “woman”

Why it should use “woman”? Because this sentence only talks about one person, so it should use singular noun “woman” instead of plural noun “women”. Woman is a singular term used to describe one lady, however women is a plural term used to describe many lady. Thus, the sentence should be When she retired in 1989, tennis champion Christine Evert was the most famous woman athlete in the United Stated.

The wrong answer is C. It should be “sold”

Why it should use “sold”? Because the sentence above tells about past event which is indicates by “had bought”, therefore it should use verb past. Then, the sentence should be After she had bought herself a new automobile, she sold her bicycle.
