• 'strict' is an adjective that means following rules or beliefs exactly.

So the correct sentence is- The strictest lockdown declared last year caused untold misery to the livelihoods of a large number of workers, particularly in unorganized sectors.

The correct answer is 'turn down'.

Key Points

• Replace 'turn down the promotion' with 'turn over the promotion'.
• 'Turn over' means 'to start or continue to run properly.'
• 'Turn down' means 'to dismiss, reject, spurn, or refuse someone or something'. With reference to the context of the given sentence, the usage of 'applied again several years later', implies that the promotion was initially not accepted. Thus, 'turn down' is the most appropriate phrase.
• The correct sentence would be 'He was able to turn down the promotion without prejudice and applied again several years later'.

• Do a brown study: There is a use of phrase, 'a brown study' which means, 'a mood of deep absorption or thoughtfulness*'.* The use of this phrase is incorrect as per the context of the sentence as the person has not mentioned anything about his thoughts or mood.
• Make a close shave: There is a use of phrase, 'a close shave' which means, 'a narrow escape from or avoidance of a situation, often an unfavorable or dangerous one*'.* There is no mention about any escape or any dangerous situation, that's why, the phrase is incorrect with the context.

Paragraph after rearranging the sentences: Real success happens when we focus on one thing at a time. When I was preparing for my final exams, I decided to study only one subject at a time. And I only moved on to the next when I fully grasped the material. I noticed that I could learn something way faster if I immersed myself in it for a few days. Most of my peers studied multiple subjects a day.
