Fill in any ten of the blanks given below with appropriate words or prepositions:

Updated: 3 years ago
উত্তরঃ to

The correct preposition to fill the blank is "to". The verb "listen" is an intransitive verb, and when it is followed by an object (the person or thing being listened to), it almost always requires the preposition "to".

Here's why:

        
  • "Listen to" a direct object: When you are paying attention to sounds or information, you "listen to" something or someone. For example, "I listen to music," "She listens to her parents," "We listened to the news."
  •     
  • Common usage: "Listen" without "to" is typically used when the act of hearing is general, or as an imperative without an object (e.g., "Just listen!"). However, when specifying what is being listened to, "to" is essential.

In the given sentence, "my story" is the object of the listening, hence "listen to my story" is the grammatically correct construction.

উত্তরঃ in

The correct preposition to fill the blank is "in". When used with "obvious" in the context of "presence," "in" indicates that someone or something is clearly noticeable or conspicuous within a particular situation or environment.

        
  • Obvious in: This phrase means that someone or something is easily seen, understood, or noticed within a specific setting or circumstance. For example, "Her discomfort was obvious in the presence of her former colleague." In the given sentence, "She was obvious in the presence of her friend," implies she was conspicuous or easily noticed while her friend was there.
  •     
  • Obvious to: This phrase means that something is clear or apparent to a particular person or group. For example, "The solution was obvious to everyone in the room."
  •     
  • It's important not to confuse "obvious in" or "obvious to" with "oblivious to," which means unaware of something (e.g., "He was oblivious to the danger"). While "oblivious to" is a common idiom, the original question uses "obvious," necessitating a different prepositional fit.

উত্তরঃ off

The correct preposition to complete the phrase is "off," forming the phrasal verb "write off."

"Write off" means to cancel a debt, to acknowledge that a debt will not be paid, or to treat something as a total loss or failure. In the context of financial obligations, it signifies the removal of a debt from the accounts, often because it is deemed uncollectible.

For example:

        
  • "The bank decided to write off a significant portion of the student loans."
  •     
  • "After the fire, the old building was written off as a total loss."

In the given sentence, "Better write his debt off," it implies a suggestion to cancel or disregard the debt owed by the person, perhaps due to difficulty in recovery or for other strategic reasons.

উত্তরঃ wait

The phrase "Time and tide wait for none" is a well-known English idiom that emphasizes the relentless and unstoppable progression of time and events. It means that time passes continuously and opportunities do not linger, so one must act promptly and not procrastinate.

Grammatically, "Time and tide" functions as a compound subject that is traditionally treated as singular when referring to a single concept (the continuous flow of time and its associated changes). Therefore, it takes the singular verb "wait" in the simple present tense. This idiom serves as a reminder of the importance of punctuality, seizing opportunities, and making the most of every moment, as circumstances will not adjust for anyone's delays.

উত্তরঃ into

The correct preposition to fill the blank is "into". The phrase "get into trouble" is an idiomatic expression that means to become involved in a difficult or dangerous situation, or to face punishment or problems. Here, "into" indicates a movement or transition towards a particular state or condition, which in this case is "trouble".

Examples of similar usage include:

        
  • He got into debt after losing his job.
  •     
  • Don't get into an argument with him.
  •     
  • She accidentally got into the wrong car.

The sentence implies that if one does not "mend oneself" (improve one's behavior or character), they will transition into a state of difficulty or punishment.

উত্তরঃ by

The correct preposition to fill in the blank is "by". The phrase "by the time" is commonly used with the future perfect tense to indicate that an action will be completed at or before a specific point in the future.

        
  • Future Perfect Tense: The sentence "I'll have finished" uses the future perfect tense (will + have + past participle), which describes an action that will be completed before a certain time in the future.
  •     
  • "By the time": This phrase introduces a time clause that specifies the deadline or the point in the future when the main action (finishing) will be completed. It means "not later than" or "when that particular point in time arrives."
  •     
  • Example: "I will have finished my report by the time my boss arrives." Here, "by the time my boss arrives" sets the deadline for completing the report.

In the context of the sentence, "I'll see to it that you get home all right," the speaker is assuring the listener that they will take responsibility for ensuring their safe journey home.

Examples of "see to it":

        
  • "Please see to it that all the doors are locked before you leave." (Make sure all doors are locked)
  •     
  • "Don't worry about the payments; I'll see to it." (I'll handle the payments)

উত্তরঃ at

The correct preposition to fill the blank is "at". The phrasal verb "aim at" is commonly used to express an objective or target, especially when followed by a gerund (the -ing form of a verb acting as a noun) or a noun. In this sentence, "having" is a gerund, indicating the goal.

        
  • Aim at + Gerund/Noun: Used to state a specific goal or target.
    Example: The marketing team aims at increasing sales by 20%. (Gerund)
    Example: He aims at success. (Noun)
  •     
  • Aim to + Infinitive: Also used to express a goal, but followed by the base form of a verb.
    Example: Our journal aims to have at least ten thousand readers next year. (Infinitive)

Both "aims at having" and "aims to have" are grammatically correct ways to express the objective, but given the structure with "having" directly following the blank, "at" is the appropriate preposition to complete the idiom.

A rolling stone no moss

Hard work is the key to success in anyone’s life. We cannot gain success by just doing a task; we have to put our 100% in any task so that we gain a great place in life.If we are unstable and lose our heart easily we cannot reach the place we desire in life. No matter how bad the obstacles are, we should not give up. Staying unmoved despite of so many problems will give a great courage to us. We should be well planned and organized in performing our tasks and we should not be deviated from our aim.We would have heard the great proverb:“A rolling stone gathers no moss”. A stone that keeps moving doesn’t gather any moss. At the same time, one that stays in a fixed place will gather green moss. This also means that we should be focused and stable about what we have to achieve in our life. Patience and perseverance matters a lot. It is good to be patient though failures hit continuously.When we see failure in life, we should not be demotivated. We should always remember “Failures are the stepping stones to success.” So, before getting into any task we should analyze the positives and negatives; later, we should not hesitate to proceed further. Being stable and determined is very important in life. If we keep moving from one place to another, we would be “Jack of All Trades; but master of none!”

উত্তরঃ

A Stitch in Time Saves Nine

The literal meaning of this saying is that a timely stitch to a rent in our garment will mend it quickly and easily. But if we delay   mending it, the rent will be bigger and then to mend it with a stitch will take much more time. Procrastination in dealing with that rent, or an attitude of dealing with that tomorrow, will worsen it, will make it bigger and bigger every day, and it will take much more time and effort than was necessary if we took it up immediately. Metaphorically, it means that if any problem in our life starts off, we should try to address the problem immediately. But if we put off or procrastinate, the problem will grow bigger and more and more complex. A timely attempt to solve the problem in the very beginning might have taken a very small amount of time and effort; the problem might have been solved easily. But if we put it off for tomorrow, the tomorrow might never come, and many days would pass. The nature of things, especially of bad things, is to grow worse and worse every day. Even if we put off dealing with a problem, the problem would not remain static; it would grow bigger and bigger, and more and more complex. And solving it, when it has already grown unwieldy in size and complexity, would require much more time, energy, and effort than would have been necessary, had we taken it up in the very beginning. Or, even it is possible that the   problem cannot be solved at all; it will then engulf our life, and we may be ruined'.  As the proverb is true of the individual, it is also true of a nation. If any evil thing creeps into it, it should be removed immediately. If we fail to do that, it will develop into a festering sore and eat into the vitals of our people. The proverb is a call to immediate action in case of any problem.  It is a call for the individual as well as for the nation.

উত্তরঃ We spent the evening as in the old days.

In formal English, the conjunction "as" is used to introduce a clause or a phrase that indicates a comparison or the manner in which something is done. In this sentence, "as in the old days" describes how the evening was spent, implying "in the way it was done in the old days."

Conversely, "like" is primarily used as a preposition to mean "similar to" or "in the manner of," and is typically followed by a noun, pronoun, or noun phrase. While "like" is often used informally in place of "as" or "as if," it is generally considered incorrect in standard written English when introducing a clause or an adverbial phrase of comparison.

For example:

        
  • Incorrect: She sings like she is a professional.
  •     
  • Correct: She sings as if she is a professional.
  •     
  • Correct: She sings like a professional. (Here, 'like' is a preposition followed by a noun phrase 'a professional'.)

Therefore, "as in the old days" is the grammatically correct and more formal choice for this context.
