Answer 1

Each choice has one or more errors. I'm helping my 9th grade niece and am not pleased with the quality of material she's dealing with in virtual school.

Answer 2

A is incorrect because "She was wearing a suit, dress impeccably for her job interview." "dress impeccably" uses an adverb (impeccably) with a noun (dress). Had the sentence read "She was wearing a suit, dress impeccable for her job interview," that would be correct. Had it read "She was wearing a suit, dressed impeccably for...," it would have been correct.

C is incorrect because the first and second parts of the sentence are contradictory and because none of the stated meanings of 'impeccable" is appropriate as a follow to the first clause.
"You're late again today; you are impeccable about promptness."
D is incorrect because of similar reasons to C. The clause "it doesn't taste good" is contradictory to "it's prepared impeccably" given the stated definitions of the term: Flawless; unblemished, spotless, immaculate, pristine, perfect.
I cannot eat this soup; it doesn't taste good and it's prepared impeccably.
