I think its "so thoroughly'. Why to use SO before thoroughly. When thoroughly itself stresses the sentence.

As per rules, you can write "we have a discussion about the matter", but you cannot write "we discussed about the matter". Simply write we "discuss the matter".

'so' & 'thoroughly' can't go side by side.

Can any one tell me why the answer is A, but we must use 'was' as the sentence 'c' is in the past form?

Please let me know the correct sentence of "Every group of birds that fly to the breeding ground will have an equal number of males and females. ".

If you guys notice the options carefully you can see that the first three options constitutes one complete sentence. So the correct sentence would be "We discussed the problem so thoroughly on the eve of the examination that I found it very easy to work it out.".
Therefore "about" is totally not required whereas "so" is required which makes the first option incorrect.
Therefore "about" is totally not required whereas "so" is required which makes the first option incorrect.
