Use my/myself correctly: use "myself" only for emphasis; otherwise use a possessive like "my" before a noun.
I beg to forward my application as a candidate for this post.

Q60. We have to (A)/ just to put our signature on the form (B)/ and submit it (C)/ No error(D) (Find error)
just to put our signature on the form
After "have to," we use the base form of the verb, not "to" + verb. So it should be "have to put" instead of "have to just to put."
Use "have to" + base verb (put, do, write), not "have to to ...".
