Solution

Statement (i): Even though both 'happen' and 'occur' refer to events that are either planned or not planned or expected. However, in the given context, occurred is more apt.

Statement (ii): Electrical is more apt because electrical collocates with equipment. Hence alternative B is more appropriate.

Statement (iii): Trade is more appropriate because it refers to a job especially one that involves working with your hands and that requires special training and skills.

Statement (iv): Only lighting suits the given context.

Statement (v): 'Feint' refers to a movement that is intended to make your opponent think you are going to do one thing when you are really going to do something else. This very well fits into the given context and hence is the appropriate alternative.
