II- which hit a five-year low on July 20th, reflects
III- which hit a five-year low on July 20th, reflected
IV- that hit a five-year low on July 20th, reflects
V- that hit a five-year low on July 20th, has reflected
Solution:II To give an additional information about something that is not restrictive, a word “which” is used instead of that, so option I IV V are eliminated.

II- who had fought to modernise the Bundeswehr
III- that has fought to modernise the Bundeswehr
IV- that had fought to modernise the Bundeswehr

The rare academic who could speak fluently to bureaucrats and normal people, “Charles Kindleberger has designed the Marshall Plan” and wrote vast economic histories worthy of Tolstoy.I- Charles Kindleberger has designed the Marshall Plan
II- Charles Kindleberger had designed the Marshall Plan
III- Charles Kindleberger designing the Marshall Plan
IV- Charles Kindleberger designed the Marshall Plan
V- The Marshall Plan was designed by Charles Kindleberger
Solution: IV The use of passive voice is irrelevant that eliminates option V. As the Marshall Plan was designed and wrote at some time in the past that means the task is done in the particular moment in the past so we use simple past (i.e. second form of verb). So when some situation started and ended in particular time period in the past, simple past or past indefinite is used i.e. designed which makes only option IV correct.

III- consolidating to begins its next huge rally to the sky
IV- consolidate to begin its next huge rally upon the sky
V- consolidating to begin its next huge rally to the sky
Solution: V with may first form of the verb is used so be is used already so to now continue a sentence +ing for of verb will be used which eliminates option I and IV. Upon the sky is incorrect because it won’t rally upon the sky which means above the sky so to the sky will be correct. Furthermore begins cannot be used with to which makes only option V a correct choice.

IV- Because there is one flaw endemic to any CBDC: the contradiction between
V- Yet there is one flaw endemic to any CBDC: the contradiction among
Solution: III in the sentence no reason is provided which makes as and because incorrect and the use of among is grammatically wrong as there is contradiction between the two centralising tendency of a CBDC and decentralising technology which makes option III a correct choice.
