“Mayor from Mexican descent” is wrong. It should be “Mayor OF Mexican descent.”
If you read the whole sentence, you’ll realize it is not a complete sentence, but rather a fragment. “flying low” should be changed to “is flying low” for the sentence to make sense.
Should be “since they have taken me” or something similar to that.
The sentence starts off in the future tense. “met” is past tense. Therefore, we must change it to “will meet” for it to be in the suitable tense.
Well why did you choose A? If we keep the sentence as-is, it is not actually a sentence. Rather, there are two sentences separated by the first comma. That is why D is the correct answer. “Never having seen” keeps the correct tense and corrects the sentence.


Hope that helped. But to be honest, these were pretty easy. You should try to read over the sentences by yourself and try to figure out if they sound “right” in your head. This strategy usually helps a lot!
