Preposition
 The ship is bound____ United States.

A. Onto

B. At

C. For

D. None of these

the word 'bound' can take the preposition 'to' as well, but there's a slight difference in context. 'Bound to' is often
used when talking about obligations or inevitable events.

For example: "He is bound to fulfill his duties." or "We are bound to collide at this speed."
 Most of people agree with me.

A. Most people agree with me.

B. Most of people agree to me.
C. Most people agree to me.
D. None of these.
"most of the people" would be correct, but it's used to refer to a specific group of people that has been previously mentioned
or is obvious from context. For example, "Most of the people at the meeting agreed with me.“

"most of people" is incorrect because 'most' does not need the preposition 'of' when used with plural countable nouns (like
people) or uncountable nouns. We simply say "most people," "most dogs," or "most water," not "most of people/dogs/water."
 He writes____ ink.

A. In
B. Through
C. To
D. None of these
"He writes in pencil.“

"He writes on paper“

"She writes with a flourish".

 She is afraid____spiders.

A. From
B. In
C. of
D. None of these
Afraid for: This preposition is used when someone is fearful or anxious about someone else's safety or well-
being. Example: "I am afraid for my children's future in this uncertain world."

Afraid to: This preposition is used when someone is fearful or anxious about doing something. Example: "He
is afraid to speak in public."
 I hate to walking in the sun.

A. I hate walking in the sun.

B. I hate having walk in the sun.
C. I hate walking under the sun.
D. None of these
The verb "having" should be followed by a gerund (walking), so the correct form would be "I hate having to walk in the sun." This
sentence implies a sense of obligation or necessity to walk in the sun, which the speaker dislikes.
 We often walk across the fields.
A. We often walk round the fields.
B. We often walk above the fields.
C. We often walk over the fields.
D. None of these
1. "We often walk round the fields." This implies you are walking in a circular path around the periphery of the fields.
2. "We often walk above the fields." This could be interpreted literally (for example, if you're walking on a hill or raised path overlooking the fields) or metaphorically (if you're speaking from a
perspective of superiority or detachment).

3. "We often walk over the fields." This suggests you are walking directly on the fields themselves, moving from one side to the other.
4. "We often walk across the fields." This is similar to "over," implying you are walking from one side of the fields to the other, but perhaps with a bit less emphasis on the fields being directly
beneath you.

"The drone flew over the city.“

"He threw the ball over the roof.“
In both cases, "over" denotes movement from one side to another, but also implies that the subject was
above the object during the course of the movement.
Over: As mentioned previously, "over" generally indicates that something is directly above something else but not
touching it, and often implies movement. E.g., "The airplane flew over the city."

Above: "Above" also implies that something is higher than something else, but it is more static than "over" and
doesn't usually imply movement. E.g., "The picture is hanging above the fireplace."

Across: "Across" means from one side to the other side of something, often indicating movement along a surface.
E.g., "She walked across the bridge."

Below: "Below" means at a lower level or layer than something. E.g., "The fish swam below the surface of the
water."

Under: "Under" also means at a lower level or layer than something, often suggesting something is covered or
obscured by what's above it. E.g., "The cat is hiding under the bed."

Beneath: "Beneath" is quite similar to "under," but is often used in a more formal or literary context. It means in or
to a lower position than something, or directly under something. E.g., "The submarine sank beneath the waves."
All along the centuries, there have been wars.
A. All across the centuries, there have been wars.
B. All through the centuries, there have been wars.
C. All over the centuries, there have been wars.
D. None of these
All through the centuries: This suggests that throughout every century, without exception, there have been wars. "Through" here implies
continuity and is commonly used to describe the duration of time.

All along the centuries: "All along" typically implies a spatial dimension, like a path or a line, more than a temporal one. However, in some
contexts, it can be used metaphorically for time, but it's less standard than "through."

Example (spatial): "There are lampposts all along the street."

Example (temporal, but less standard): "All along the years, they remained friends.“

• "across" can sound like it's skipping over some centuries. Example (spatial): "She traveled all across Europe."

• Example (temporal): "Across different eras, this tradition has been observed."

• "Over" would be more apt for shorter, defined periods.

• Example: "Over the past few decades, technology has advanced rapidly."
Somebody burnt the trash here. It can’t be Sheena because she cares _____the environment
pretty much.
A. Of
B. In
C. About
D. None of these

1. about: This is used when someone has an interest or concern in something.

▪ Example: She cares about her grades.

2. for: This can mean taking care of someone or something, or having affection for them.
▪ Example: He cares for his elderly mother.
▪ Example: I know she still cares for him.

3. to: Used in the context where "cares to" means "chooses or wishes to".
▪ Example: Would anyone care to comment?
 Most people care ___ other people’s opinion.

A. About
B. For
C. To
D. None of these
"care" can indeed take other prepositions, but each preposition changes the meaning slightly.

Care for: This is typically used when referring to taking care of someone or something, particularly in the sense of looking after someone's wellbeing. For example, "She cares for her elderly mother."

Care about: This is used when expressing concern or interest in something. For example, "He cares about the environment."

Care to: This phrase is often used as a polite way of asking if someone wants to do something. For example, "Would you care to join us for dinner?"

Care of (c/o): This is used when sending mail to another person who lives at the address where the recipient is staying. For example, "Send the package to John Doe, care of Jane Doe."
 Kind of Sentences (Construction Wise)

impossible or very unlikely.

4.Third Conditional (Unreal Past)

1. Structure: If + Past Perfect, would have + past participle
2. Example: If I had known about the party, I would have come earlier. This refers to an imaginary situation in the past and

last year, is still in good condition.
5.That:
1. Can refer to people or things in restrictive (or defining) relative clauses.
2. "That" is more versatile but can often be replaced by "who" or "which" in many contexts. However, there are some instances, especially after superlatives and with
certain expressions (the only, the first, etc.), where "that" is preferred.
3. Example (for people): She's the one that I told you about.

Can you give me an information?
A. Can you give me few information?
B. Can you give me some information?
C. Can you give me any information?
D. None of these

The term "information" is an uncountable noun in English. This means that it doesn't typically take a plural form (like "informations") and is paired with certain
quantifiers or determiners that work with uncountable nouns.

Given your examples:

1.Some information (Correct)
•Part of speech: Quantifier
2.Any information (Correct)
•Usage: I have some information about the event.
•Part of speech: Quantifier
•Usage: Do you have any information on the topic?
3.Few information (Incorrect)
•"Few" is used with countable nouns, so it doesn't work with "information."
•Correct alternative: A little information
•Usage: I only have a little information on that subject.

Remember that the choice of quantifier or determiner (like "some", "any", or "a little") depends on whether the noun is countable or uncountable. Since
"information" is uncountable, it's important to use the appropriate quantifiers that correspond with uncountable nouns.
 ___ you apologize, or I will never speak to you again.
A. Either
B. Neither
C. Lest
D. None of these
1. Either... or...
1. Used to indicate a choice between two alternatives.
2. Example: You can have either chocolate or vanilla.
3. In this example, "either... or..." offers two choices: chocolate and vanilla.
2. Neither... nor...
1. Used to indicate that neither of the alternatives is true or applicable.
2. Example: He neither drinks nor smokes.
3. In this example, "neither... nor..." indicates that both statements about the subject (he doesn't drink and he doesn't smoke) are true.
3. Lest
1. Used to indicate that something should be done to prevent a possible undesirable outcome. It's a somewhat formal or old-fashioned word,
not as commonly used in everyday spoken English nowadays.
2. Example: She tiptoed, lest she wake the baby.
3. In this example, "lest" introduces the undesirable outcome (waking the baby) that the action (tiptoeing) is trying to prevent.
Either of the plans are workable.
A. Either of the plans is workable.
B. Either plains are workable.
C. Either of the two plains are workable.
D. None of these

▪ "Either" as a pronoun means "one or the other of two."

▪ Examples:
1. I have two apples. You can eat either.
▪ This means you can eat one of the two apples.
2. I don't like either movie.
▪ This means I don't like the first movie and I don't like the second movie.
▪ So, when used as a pronoun, "either" refers to one of two things mentioned earlier.
▪ So, "either" is highlighting that you have two good options to pick from.
 I looked at me in the mirror.
A. I looked me in the mirror.
B. I am looked at by me in the mirror.
C. I looked at myself in the mirror.
D. None of these

▪ Rule: When the subject and the object of the verb are the same, we use reflexive pronouns (myself, yourself, himself, herself, itself,
ourselves, yourselves, themselves).

▪ In your sentence, the person who is doing the looking (subject: I) is the same as the person being looked at (object), so the reflexive
pronoun "myself" should be used.
I gave him as much as he could eat it.
A. I gave him as much as he could eat.
B. I give him as much as he could have eat it.
C. I give him as much as he can eat it.
D. None of these

▪ Rule: The "as... as" structure is used in English to make comparisons. It can be used to compare the degree of adjectives,
adverbs, and quantities.

▪ In your sentence, "as much as" is used to compare the quantity or amount of something given to the amount that someone
could eat. The statement emphasizes that the amount given is equivalent to the maximum amount he could consume.
I am___sure of it as you are.
A. Quit
B. As
C. Very
D. None of these

Rule: The "as... as" structure is used to indicate that two things being compared are equal in some way, whether it be in quantity, quality,
degree, or manner.

Examples

The cake is as delicious as the pie.

A third of the prisoners is from Spain.
A. A third of the prisoner is from Spain.
B. Third of the prisoners are from Spain.
C. A third of the prisoners are from Spain.
D. None of these

▪ Rule: When you are talking about a fraction or percentage of a plural noun, the verb agrees with the noun that follows the fraction or percentage. If the noun
after the fraction or percentage is plural, you use a plural verb. If it's singular, you use a singular verb.

Examples:

▪ Half of the pie is missing.

▪ Two-thirds of the apples are rotten.
 He bought a three ___ suit.
A. Hundred - dollars
B. Hundred - dollar
C. Hundreds - dollar

A. Although I explained but he was not ready to accept.
B. Although I explained, he was not ready to accept.
C. Though I explained, he was not ready to accept.
D. None of these.

▪ Rule: The conjunction "although" (or its synonym "though") is used to introduce a subordinate clause in which there is a contrast or
contradiction to the idea presented in the main clause. The main point of using "although" is to highlight unexpected or contrasting results.

▪ Examples:
❖ Although it was raining, we decided to go for a walk.
❖ Although she studied hard, she didn't pass the exam.
 choose the correct sentence
A. This is one of the most difficultly question that is ever asked.
B. This is one of the most difficult questions that have ever been asked.
C. This is one of the most difficultly questions that has ever been asked.
D. None of these

Rule: When using the structure "one of the + plural noun + relative pronoun," the verb inside the relative clause should be plural because it
refers back to the plural noun, not the singular "one.“

Examples:

1. She is one of the writers who have influenced modern literature.

2. That's one of the movies that make me cry every time.
 Have you ever ___ to America.
A. Visited
B. Been
C. landed
D. None of these
 It’s as every to do is right as ____ it wrong
A. To do
B. Doing
C. do
D. None of these

Rule: The structure "as... as" is used for comparisons of equality. When comparing infinitive actions (using "to" + base verb, like "to do"), you often need to
include the infinitive again in the second part of the comparison for clarity.

▪ Examples:
1. It's as hard to find a needle in a haystack as to find water in a desert.
2. It's as important to understand the process as to get the correct result.
Saad often _____ late at night.

 We all look forward to see you.
A. We all are looking forward to see you.
B. We all look forward to seeing you.
C. We all look forward seeing you.
D. None of these

Rule: When using the phrasal verb "look forward to," it is always followed by a noun or a gerund (the '-ing' form of a verb).

▪ Examples:
1. I look forward to meeting her tomorrow.
2. They look forward to the vacation next month.
 The coffee is too much cold.
A. The coffee is too cold.
B. The coffee is very cold.
C. The coffee is too cold to drink.
D. None of these

Rule: Use "too" before an adjective (or an adverb) when something is at a higher degree than is desired or necessary. "Very" is simply an
intensifier and doesn't indicate excessiveness.
We must have to teach values at all levels.
A. We must teach values at all levels.
B. we must to teach values at all levels.
C. we must be teaching values at all levels.
D. None of these

Rule: Avoid using two modal verbs of obligation together in the same clause. Both "must" and "have to" can be used to indicate a
strong obligation or necessity, but they should not be used together in the same context to mean the same thing.

▪ Examples:
1. I must complete this project by tomorrow. (Correct)
I must have to complete this project by tomorrow. (Incorrect)

2. She has to attend the meeting. (Correct)

 She took the company_____ better job

A. In order of
B. In order to getting
C. In order to get

Rule: The phrase "in order to" is used to express purpose or intention. After "in order to," we use the base form of the verb (infinitive without "to").

▪ Examples:
1. I am saving money in order to buy a new car.
▪ Here, the purpose of saving money is to buy a new car.
2. They woke up early in order to catch the first train.
▪ The intention of waking up early is to catch the first train.
 My new friend isn’t ___ finished
A. All together
B. All by together
C. altogether
D. None of these

Rule: "Altogether" is an adverb that means "completely," "wholly," or "entirely." It's different from the phrase "all together," which means
"everyone or everything together.“

▪ Examples:
1. The results were altogether surprising.
▪ Here, "altogether" emphasizes the degree of surprise.
2. We sang the song all together.
▪ In this context, "all together" means everyone sang the song at the same time.

A. You had better do this work today.
B. You have better do this work today.

2. She had better finish her assignment before the deadline.
▪ "Finish" is the base form of the verb.

A. We were used to play music at weekends of last summer.

B. We used to play music on weekends last summer.

D. None of these.

➢ The sentence "We were use to play music at weekends of last summer." is incorrect.
➢ The correct version is: "We used to play music on weekends during last summer."
▪ Rule: The construction "used to" is utilized to describe past habits or actions that are no longer continuing in the present. After "used to," we use the
base form of the verb.

▪ Examples:
1. I used to swim every day when I lived near the beach.
Here, "swim" is in its base form.

2. They used to travel a lot before they had kids.

"Travel" is the base form of the verb.

A. Smoke
