Answer
C
Explanation
Sentence 1: By itself, "I have a good knowledge of the German language" is appropriate. Sentence 3: "Whole Delhi" should be "The whole of Delhi". Sentence 5: "He knows to swim" should be "He knows how to swim". Thus sentences 1, 3, and 5 contain errors, making C the correct choice.
