The phrase "swims like a fish" is a common English simile used to describe someone who is a very good swimmer. The other options do not make sense in this context.

The phrase 'sifting through' means to carefully examine or sort through something, which fits the context of going through accumulated junk. 'Sulking' means to be silently upset, and 'screening' means to show or examine, but neither fits as well as 'sifting' here. 'None of these' is incorrect because 'sifting' is the appropriate choice.

The correct preposition to use with 'deals' when referring to trading or handling a commodity like sugar is 'in'. Hence, 'He deals in sugar' is correct.

The correct verb form is 'are' because 'children' is plural, and when using 'neither...nor' with a plural noun, the verb agrees with the noun closest to it, which is 'children'. Therefore, 'children are coming' is correct.

The sentence 'Someone has lit the fire.' is in the present perfect tense. The correct passive voice form is 'The fire has been lit by someone,' which matches option B. Other options are either incorrect tense or meaning.

The correct spelling of the word is 'Arrogant'. 'Arrogantt' is a misspelling, so option B is correct.

The original sentence "The tiger caught a fox" is in the simple past tense active voice. The correct passive voice transformation for a simple past tense sentence is formed by using "was" or "were" plus the past participle of the verb. Therefore, the correct passive voice form is "A fox was caught by the tiger." Option B correctly reflects this. Option A uses past perfect passive "had been caught," which is not the direct transformation of the simple past active sentence. Options C and D use present tense forms, which are incorrect for this transformation.

Both 'Careless' and 'Negligent' are antonyms of 'Careful' as they imply a lack of attention or caution. Therefore, option D, which includes both B and C, is the correct answer.

A common noun is a general name for a person, place, or thing. In the sentence "The bakers bake bread," both "bakers" and "bread" are common nouns because they refer to general people and a general thing, respectively. "The" is an article, not a noun. Since the question asks which word is a common noun and "Bakers" is a plural common noun referring to people, it is the best answer among the options provided.

The sentence 'The sun rises in the east' is a universal truth. In reported speech, universal truths remain in the present tense. Therefore, the correct reported speech form is 'The driver said that the sun rises in the east.' Option C correctly reflects this. Options A and B incorrectly change the tense, and option A also contains a typo ('rorse' instead of 'rose').
