IMO A is correct

(Inspired by Thomas Paine in The Rights of Man).

For the first question, i had narrowed down to

B. (fails) and E ( has failed)

i think that "two new businesses" is a collective noun

(C) which makes distilling alcohol from cereal grain an attractive substitute

(E) making alcohol distilled from cereal grain an attractive substitute
First answer is B.

"One of every two..." is singular. Hence you need "fails."

Second one is E.

Kick out A, B, and C because "which" wrongly modifies rises.

E is the better choice as the combination is a "substitute" for gas.
