To complete the sentences correctly:

• In the first sentence, the correct word is write, as Jim is preparing to take his examination.
• In the second sentence, the appropriate word is right, indicating the direction to turn.

Thus, the correct set of options is write, right.

To fill in the blanks correctly, we need to understand the meanings of the words:

• He decided to buy the fruits from the vendor.
• He sat by the riverside for an hour in peace.

The first blank needs a verb that means to obtain something, which is buy. The second blank requires a preposition indicating location, which is by.

Thus, the correct set of words to fill in the blanks is buy and by.

The correct words to complete the sentences are as follows:

• In the first sentence, "The coffee is too hot to drink," the word too means excessively hot.
• In the second sentence, "They brought two chocolates for the baby," the word two indicates the quantity of chocolates.

Therefore, the answer is option A: too, two.

In a hospital, smoking is not allowed. This means that people cannot smoke inside the hospital or in its area. Here are some important points to remember:

So, the correct word to fill in the blank is "allowed." This shows that smoking is not permitted in the hospital.

The correct words to fill in the blanks are:

• In the first blank, the word should be sell, as it fits the context of the boy using balloons.

The correct words to fill in the blanks are as follows:

• The hair in the horse’s mane was soft.

The correct word to fill in the blank is see. This is because:

• The sentence indicates a regular action, occurring every day.
• Other options do not fit grammatically in this context:
  • Sea refers to a large body of saltwater.
  • Seen is the past participle form, not suitable here.
  • Seas is the plural of sea, which also does not fit.

Therefore, the best choice is see.

• Blew refers to the act of blowing.
• Brew means to make a drink, usually tea or coffee.
• Bruise denotes an injury caused by impact.

Thus, the correct choice is blue.

To complete the sentence correctly, we need to identify the right verb form for the action of using a bicycle.

• Rode is the past tense of ride and is the correct choice here.
• Road refers to a pathway for vehicles and does not fit the context.

• Round is an adjective or noun, not a verb that fits this sentence.

Thus, the appropriate word to fill in the blank is rode.
