Explanation:

Correct answer is (e). Here, the Supreme Court was hearing an application and this application was seeking the Supreme Court's assent to uproot around 450 trees for a railway track. Clearly, neither of the words 'expressed' and 'approved' fits the first blank contextually.
‘Asked’ is also wrong as means either to ask a question or to say something. If the verb had been 'asked for' the choice would have been correct.
Though ‘demanded’ would suit the first blank, ’necessary’ railway track doesn’t make sense.
Clearly, option E is the perfect match and thereby the correct answer. ‘Sought’ is the past participle form of ‘seek’ and it means to look for something. Plus, the second word 'additional' also fits the blank appropriately.
Option E is hence the correct answer.
