d. monitoring telescreens

Explanation:

For question 5: In 1984, Winston's job involves altering records, and he learns the Party dictates what the public accepts as truth; options A, B, and C are incorrect because some private memories/partial records persist, and the past is not fully erased or without any evidence.
For question 1: Winston's core job at the Ministry of Truth is systematically changing all past records (newspapers, documents, etc.) to align with the Party's current statements; erasing people is a subset of this broader task, while the other options do not describe his main role.

Answer:

1. D. The Party controls what is accepted as truth
2. C. Altering past records to match Party claims
