Explanation

The phrase 'cast a pall of gloom over' is a standard English idiom meaning to cause sadness or depression. However, the preposition 'with' in part (d) is incorrect - the correct idiom is 'in contact with' or simply 'contact with'. The phrase should be 'who came in contact with her' not 'who came into contact with'.
