1. b. figures
(Points are basically facts. Words could be wrong or meaningless. Fallacies cannot strengthen your arguments)

2. c. interrupted
("The game 'was'", means it is a past tense. interrupting would make it present continuous. interrupts is present. interrupt is a verb, not an adjective)

3. c. started
(As same as #2)

4. d. having a nervous break-down
(She can't be a role model because results aren't declared and she's sick. Not option B because this doesn't make sense as she's just donig revision which is sufficient information. Not C either as she's 'preparing' for exam, how'd she wait for results if the exam wasn't conducted. D follows the paragraph meaningfully)

5. b. is different from conventional treatment method
(It was developed in 18th century, it didn't get popular. We can't tell whether it is accepted internationally or not. Homoeopathy is a treatment, not a disease. Option B follows. Read the second line for hep "In its view, which differs from the conventional medicine point of view")

1-b, 2-c, 3-c, 4-d, 5-b (i think)
But this is somewhat cheating. Asking for help on a particular problem is one thing and getting your homework solved is another.

1) b. Figures (bonus for alliteration)
2) c. Interrupted

You should do your own homework though, how do expect to learn if you don't?
