Solution

In statement A, the use of the term "more harder” is wrong, as the comparative word is 'harder', or 'more hard'.
In statement E, since the statement reads- The real and present difficulty, hence the verb that follows should be in the present tense 'is to reach' and not "will be to reach” as that is in the future tense.
Hence, the correct answer is option AE.
