 | Nishtha Iyer answered |
Part of Speech:
The underlined word "After" in the sentence "After the storm comes the calm" is a preposition.
Explanation:
- A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. It indicates location, direction, time, manner, or condition.
- In the given sentence, "After" is used to indicate the time when the calm comes. It shows the relationship between the noun "storm" and the noun phrase "the calm."
- Prepositions are typically followed by a noun or pronoun, creating a prepositional phrase. In this case, "After the storm" is the prepositional phrase, with "the storm" being the object of the preposition.
- Prepositions can also be used to indicate location, such as "in," "on," or "under," or they can show other relationships, such as "with," "by," or "for."
- It is important to note that prepositions can sometimes function as adverbs, depending on how they are used in a sentence. In this case, "After" is functioning as a preposition, not an adverb.
- Adverbs, on the other hand, modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They provide information about how, when, where, or to what extent an action is performed.
- In the given sentence, "After" is not modifying a verb, adjective, or adverb. Instead, it is showing the relationship between the noun "storm" and the noun phrase "the calm."
- Therefore, the correct answer is option C) Preposition.

 | Priyanka Kapoor answered |
Option A - 'Of' explains the purpose and the given sentence doesn't explain the purpose. 'In' explains 'inside the floor' which is incorrect. Thus option A is incorrect.
Option B - 'Off' means to get down from the chair. 'At' means location, here, the cat lands on the floor and the sentence doesn't explain the location. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option D - 'By' explains besides the chair, whereas, the cat jumped off the chair. 'At' means location, here, the cat lands on the floor and the sentence doesn't explain the location. Thus option D is incorrect.
Option C - 'Off' means to get down from the chair. 'On' means over something. Hence, we can use 'off' and 'on' here. Thus option C is the correct answer.
'The cat jumped off the chair and landed on the floor.'
Option B - 'Off' means to get down from the chair. 'At' means location, here, the cat lands on the floor and the sentence doesn't explain the location. Thus option B is incorrect.
Option D - 'By' explains besides the chair, whereas, the cat jumped off the chair. 'At' means location, here, the cat lands on the floor and the sentence doesn't explain the location. Thus option D is incorrect.

 | Anjali Mukherjee answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer is option 'b' - "In."
In this sentence, the word "deals" indicates that the shopkeeper is involved in the trade or business of cosmetics. The preposition "in" is used to show involvement or participation in a particular activity or business.
Example:
The shopkeeper deals in cosmetics.
Here, "in" shows that the shopkeeper is engaged in the business of selling cosmetics. It indicates that the shopkeeper specializes in or is involved in the trade of cosmetics.
Other options:
- Option 'a': "With" is not the most appropriate option in this context. The preposition "with" is used to indicate possession or association, but it does not convey the meaning of being involved in a particular business or trade.
Example:
The shopkeeper deals with various products.
Here, "with" is used to show that the shopkeeper is involved in dealing with or handling various products, but it does not specify the specific nature of the products.
- Option 'c': "At" is not the most appropriate option in this context. The preposition "at" is used to indicate location or position, but it does not convey the meaning of being involved in a particular business or trade.
Example:
The shopkeeper deals at the local market.
Here, "at" is used to show the location or position where the shopkeeper conducts their business, but it does not specify the specific nature of the business.
- Option 'd': "For" is not the most appropriate option in this context. The preposition "for" is used to indicate purpose or recipient, but it does not convey the meaning of being involved in a particular business or trade.
Example:
The shopkeeper deals in cosmetics for beauty enthusiasts.
Here, "for" is used to show the purpose or the target audience for whom the shopkeeper sells cosmetics, but it does not specify the involvement in the business itself.

To summarize, the correct preposition to use in this sentence is "off" because it accurately conveys the action of falling from the bicycle.

| | Mansi Dey answered |
Explanation:
The correct answer to fill in the blank is option 'C' - "With".
Explanation:
In this sentence, the phrase "let us begin" indicates that the speaker is about to start doing something. The word that follows should indicate what they are going to begin with.
The preposition "with" is used to indicate the starting point or the initial step in a process or action. In this case, the speaker wants to start with the first item. Therefore, the most appropriate answer is "with".
Example:
- This is the first item; let us begin with it.
- This is the first chapter; let us begin with it.
- This is the first step; let us begin with it.
These examples show how the word "with" is used to indicate the starting point or the initial step in various contexts.
Alternative options:
- Option 'A' - "At": The preposition "at" is not appropriate in this context as it does not indicate the starting point or the initial step.
- Option 'B' - "By": The preposition "by" is used to indicate the method or means of doing something, not the starting point.
- Option 'D' - "Of": The preposition "of" is used to show possession or belonging, not the starting point.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' - "With".
The correct answer to fill in the blank is option 'C' - "With".

Answer:
Explanation:
To fill in the blank, we need to select the most appropriate word that makes sense in the given context. Let's analyze the options:
a) After: This word is used to indicate a subsequent action. In this context, it does not fit well as we are not looking for interests after something else.
b) Of: This word is used to indicate possession or belonging. It does not make sense to look "of" your interests.
c) Under: This word is used to indicate being below or beneath something. Looking "under" your interests does not convey the intended meaning.
d) Out: This word is used to indicate being outside or not in a particular place. Looking "out" your interests does not make sense.
Hence, the correct answer is option 'A' - After.

| | Priyanka Kapoor answered |
The sentence talks about the likelihood of Soomro becoming the head of his department. 'About to become' indicates that it has already been decided that he should become the head of department. So, it is a probable answer. 'Off to become' also indicates that he is set to become the head of department. Hence, option C is another possible answer. The phrases 'for to become' and 'in to become' are grammatically incorrect in the context of the sentence.
