Correct option: C — A; the

A; the ‘Top’ mentioned in the given sentence is specific and we generally use the definite article ‘the’ before a specific noun. The two girls are not specified in the sentence, therefore article ‘the’ cannot be used before the noun ‘team’. ‘Team’ starts with a consonant sound, therefore article ‘a’ will be used. Hence, ‘A; the’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: A — should have

should have ‘Should’ is used to express a prediction or an expectation. In the given sentence, ‘should’ has been used to express an expectation that we should have heavy snowfall in the region if the weather forecast proves accurate. Hence, ‘should have’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: A — her; she

her, she We use an objective case(me, us, you, him, her, them) as the object and subjective case (I, we, you, he, she, they) as the subject of a sentence. The first blank requires an object and the second blank requires a subject. Hence, ‘her, she’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: C — had subsided

had subsided If two actions took place in the past then the 1st action must be in the Past perfect tense(Had + V3) and the 2nd action must be in the Simple Past tense(V2). However, the V3 form of ‘subside’ is ‘subsided’. Hence, ‘had subsided(V3)’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: D — bear

bear ‘Bear’ means to tolerate pain, hardship, etc. The given sentence states that Rashid was not able to bear the pain after the accident. Hence, ‘bear’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: A — much

much ‘As + positive degree + as’ is the correct grammatical structure. ‘Much’ is a positive degree adverb while ‘many’ is a positive degree adjective. In the given sentence, we need an adverb to modify the verb ‘captivated’. Hence, ‘much’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: D — upon

upon The verb ‘depend’ always takes the preposition ‘on/upon’. Hence, ‘upon’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: D — sweetest

sweetest We generally use the definite article ‘the’ with the superlative degree adjective. ‘Sweetest’ is the superlative degree of ‘sweet’. Hence, ‘sweetest’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: C — his

his ‘His’ is used for a singular male subject. Similarly, in the given sentence, ‘Mr. Amit Kumar’ is a singular male subject. Hence, ‘his’ is the most appropriate answer.

Correct option: A — finest

finest We generally use the definite article ‘the’ before a superlative degree. ‘Finest’ is the superlative degree of ‘fine’. Hence, ‘finest’ is the most appropriate answer.
