Megha,

 

As I (mis)understand it, you wish to hide parts (whether strokes or fills) that have the colour CMYK 0/0/100/0 (also works for any othe specific (yellow) colour).

 

In such cases you can, for (multiple) instances of solid colours in fills and strokes:

 

1) Use the DirectSelection Tool and hold Alt or Option and click one of the elements with the yellow fill,

2) Select>Same>Fill Color (in the Select dropdown) to have them all selected, then switch from Color to None in the Toolbox;

 

3) Repeat 1) and 2), only for stroke/Stroke Color.

 

You can select gradients individually and switch from Color to None in the Toolbox.

 

 

Edit: Sorry, just spotted and saw the screenshots, then amended for a crude gradient solution..
