5- (Answer given is C) - It can only be C, if you remove 'for' from the end or D if you add that to connect the restrictive clause.
Yes! I deleted "for"

33- (Answer given is A) - although none of the choices seem right, don't you think the answer should be ... "would work on it this weekend instead of... "
I agree that that would be the best wording. I think here we tried to make it harder though by making the best choice not necessarily be the best sounding. It is easy to pick out an error and say - "it should be fixed this way" but it is harder to answer a question that does not have the answer you think it should. Does this make sense?

39 - (answer given is B) - Is this really a logical conclusion since we used 'must', sound more like an obligation and hence 'should', should have been used.. don't you agree ?
Must is the correct usage here. Should implies that they are recommended to use great care but it is not required. Must has several meanings and in this case, does mean Must take great care so that they don't destroy them. I feel I am failing to explain this, so consider these examples:

42 - (answer given is D) - It can't be D since the pronoun at the start of D 'his' has no subject/Noun (misplaced modifier).. Don't you think the answer should be 'A', the subject is being introduced and is a complete sentence with proper pronoun linkage.
I don't have an answer for this one. Let me play with it and I will get back with you.
