Question 6
1 / -0

Fill in the blank with a suitable preposition:
The giant panda was lucky to return home from a violent storm __________ getting hurt.

A
Outside

B
Without

C

D
Beyond

Solution

The giant panda was lucky, because he did not get hurt by the storm.
To fill in the blank, we need a preposition that puts through the above message.
Option B: 'Without' means 'an action that did not happen'. It relates here, as it refers to the action of 'not getting hurt'. Hence option B is correct.
Option A: 'Outside' means 'situated beyond a limit or boundary', like the walls of a house.
The meaning does not relate here.
Option C: 'About' indicates 'movement within a particular area'.
Option D: 'Beyond' means 'outside the physical range of'.
These words do not form a complete meaning, they do not focus on why he was lucky, because he did not get hurt (without getting hurt).
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.

Solution

The correct answer is Option A.
ON is used when something is on top of something.
He lives 'on top of' the island.
IN is used when we refer to places.
WEST OF SCOTLAND is a place.
Hence ON/IN is the correct answer.

Here, 'for' is correct because it here implies in place of. I mistook Sita 'in place of' Gita.
'To' is incorrect because it implies in the direction of something; towards something.
'With' is incorrect because it implies in the company or presence of somebody/something.
'From' is incorrect because it is used to show where somebody/something starts.

Fill in the blanks with the most appropriate words.

A
at / over

B
with / at

C
with / about

D
on / about

Solution

The given sentence indicates not in agreement with someone. It also talks about a matter.

With is used to indicate means, possession, contents, relationship, for and against. So, the first blank must be filled up with 'with'.
We can thus eliminate options A and D as incorrect answers.
The second blank must be filled up with 'about' as about is used to show 'on the subject of'.
At is used to indicate a point of time or place, state, direction. age or occupation, degree.
Thus option C is the correct answer and option B is incorrect.
Question 10

C

Solution

A preposition is a word which comes before a noun or a pronoun and establishes a relationship between the elements of a clause or words.
The correct answer is option B) on as 'wait on' tells that the services provided in the restaurant are very well.
'For', 'at' and 'in' can not be used here as 'for' is used to indicate a purpose,'at' to refer to a location and 'in' to refer to a movement from something.
'They on you very well in this restaurant.'
