principals - glaring mistake in option C
far a promising role - missing article in B
so option 1.
personal identity is singular so arises - error in A
set 31
take 3
I feel there is misplaced modifier in option B.

The phrase, personal identity is singular (in sentence A) and should take a singular verb arises and not arise.
In sentence B, there is a talk of only one role. Thus, it should be a promising role.
Sentence C has incorrect usage of word, principals. It should be principles to mean main beliefs, values, ideology, doctrine or ethics.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

1>
In A, womens' is incorrect - women's is the correct form. Women's rights is plural - the verb should be are.
Part B is perhaps debatable. However, it is incorrect and ridiculous. Yet they earn less than men do (or earn) makes sense. But, 'yet they earn less than men' may mean they don't earn men but (they earn) something less than men. (Compare earn less than a thousand rupees, or earn more than a vacation).
C has the subject verb problem- women's (apostrophe is missing) rights and is. Also, the word 'only' is misplaced. 'Only an issue' or 'only in countries'?
D has the incorrect double comparative in more worse.
Hence, the correct answer is option 3.
2>
In B, until they have had their fill of life- is the correct sentence, as it should be in the future perfect tense.
The other sentences are correct as given.
Hence, the correct answer is option 5.
fill of life - what does this mean?
3> Both the statements were picked from a national daily. I have two statements to show that railways is singular.

The railways has also decided to counter nefarious designs of the banned extremists active in a few states, including Bihar and Jharkhand.
