60. Ans: BExplanation: "Time and tide wait for no man" (Proverb, 'wait' plural). Note: Modern usage sometimes allows singular 'waits', but exams often prefer plural. Wait, source Q60 says Ans B & C? "The horse and carriage is..."

61. Ans: DExplanation: "Called me a coward".

62. Ans: CExplanation: "Time and tide waits" - Here source selects C. This contradicts Q60 logic (where 'wait' was B). In Bangladesh exams, "Time and tide wait" (Plural) is traditional, but some sources accept "waits". Let's check source code. Source 1492 says Ans B,C for 60? No. Source 1492 for Q62 says Ans C, D. Wait, C "Time and tide waits for none". D "Has he got the information?". Both could be correct. But usually 'waits' is contentious. 'Information' is correct. I'll stick to source.

80. Ans: DExplanation: "Neither... was".

81. Ans: CExplanation: "Made a fun of"? No. "Made fun of". Option C has "a fun". Incorrect. Option D "A little number" (Incorrect, 'small number'). A "Credit... against". Correct. Source says C? "We made a fun of it". This is usually "We made fun of it". Maybe source considers A incorrect (to his account?). Let's re-evaluate. "Credit to his account" / "against his name". A seems okay. C seems wrong ("a fun"). Source says C. I will list C but flag it.

99. Ans: AExplanation: "Both... and" (Redundant?). No, "Nazrul is both a poet and a singer" is correct usage. Why redundant? "Both... as well as" is redundant. Option D uses "both... as well as". A is correct. The question asks for "redundant" or "correct"? "Which one of the following sentences is redundant?" D has "both... as well as", which is redundant. A is correct. Source says A. Maybe question asked for "Correct" sentence? "Nazrul is both a poet and a singer" is correct. D is redundant. If question is "Redundant", Answer is D. If question is "Correct", Answer is A. Based on typical BCS patterns, they ask for correct sentences. I'll assume A is correct sentence.
