1 / -0

Choose the correct option to fill the blank:
Make hay _____ the sun shines.

A
though

B
while

C
after

D
before

Solution

Option B is the correct answer because “while” means at the same time; meanwhile, which is correct because "make hay while the sun shines" is an idiom which means to take advantage of a favourable situation.
Option A is incorrect because “though” means although or even though but the sentence means take the opportunity while you have it, hence it is incorrect.
Option C is incorrect because “after” changes the meaning of the whole sentence and doenst hint on opportunity anymore.
Option D is incorrect for the same reasons as option C.

Option A: 'For good' is an idiomatic expression that means 'permanently'.
It forms a complete and meaningful sentence here: He has decided to permanently leave India. Hence option A is correct.
Option B: 'For bad' is not an idiomatic expression. It has a literal meaning, and does not form a sentence complete in meaning.
Option C: 'For better' is not a complete idiomatic expression.
'For the better' is an idiomatic expression and in terms of change, it means 'to improve'.
Option D: Similarly, 'for worse', or 'for the worse', means 'to become more unpleasant or difficult'.
These options do not form a complete meaningful sentence.
Hence options B, C and D are incorrect.

Option A is incorrect because a “traveller” is one who visits various places for exploring and travelling to places, hence it is not the same as living permanently in a country.
Option B is incorrect because an “explorer” is someone who goes to new places to explore, which is not the same as permanently living in a country, hence it is incorrect.

We should live ____________ nature.

'In' indicates 'inclusions within space or limits'.
'With' means 'accompanies by'.
'For' means 'with the object or purpose of'.
'At' indicates 'a point or place occupied in space'.

Keeping the meanings of these words in mind, 'in' and 'with are most appropriate. One lives 'in harmony with nature': one lives happily accompanied by nature.
Hence option C is correct.

Option B is incorrect because 'nature' is not a place 'at nature'.
Option D is also incorrect because 'harmony' is not a place or point in space 'at harmony'.

Option B: 'Run down' is an idiomatic expression that means 'to reduce someone by criticizing them strongly'.
It forms a complete and meaningful sentence here. Hence option B is correct.

Option A: 'Talk down' is an incomplete phrase. 'Talk down to somebody' means 'to talk to someone as if they are less intelligent than you'.
If the phrase is incomplete, it won't form a complete sentence here.

Option C: 'Walk out' means 'to leave an event or a place because you are angry or disapprove of something'. The phrase should be followed by 'on', 'walk out on'. Without 'on' it sounds incomplete.

Option D: 'Stand out' means 'to be easily noticeable'. It would be followed by 'in': 'to stand out in a crowd'.

These expressions do not provide the appropriate, complete meaning to the given sentence.
Hence options A, C and D are incorrect.
