Community Answer
Dont walk ---- the street! Walk here ---- the sidewalk.a)on/ onb)on / ...
Explanation:

The correct answer is option 'A': on / on.

Prepositions:
- "On" is used to indicate the position or location of something when it is attached to, touching, or supported by a surface.
- "At" is used to indicate a specific location or point in space.
- "In" is used to indicate being inside or within an area or object.
- "To" is used to indicate movement or direction towards a specific place.

Usage in the Sentence:
In the given sentence, we are talking about walking on the street and the sidewalk. Let's analyze each option:

a) on / on
This option is correct because we walk on the street and on the sidewalk. The preposition "on" is used to indicate that we are physically walking on these surfaces.

b) on / at
This option is incorrect because "at" is not suitable for indicating the position of a surface. It is used for indicating a specific location or point in space.

c) at / on
This option is incorrect for the same reason as option 'b'. "At" is not appropriate for indicating a surface.

d) in / to
This option is incorrect because "in" implies being inside or within an area or object, which is not suitable for describing walking on a street or sidewalk. Additionally, "to" indicates movement or direction towards a specific place, but it doesn't correctly convey the idea of walking on a surface.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A': on / on, as it accurately describes walking on both the street and the sidewalk.

The morning of May 25, 1979, was hectic at the New York City home of Stanley and Julie Patz. They lived in a converted loft in Manhattans Soho district, pioneers in a section of the city that would later become the place-to-be for New York trendsetters. Soho had been Manhattans manufacturing zone, characterized by block after block of 19th century, iron-fronted factories standing shoulder to shoulder. On overcast days it was easy to imagine the gloomy sweatshop conditions of old New York, but in the 1970s, a fair number of these buildings were dark and empty, and the streets were desolate and forbidding at night. Still, people were making their homes in the neighborhood, breathing new life into it. Artists were first drawn to the area, attracted to the large, open spaces and cheap rents. Stanley Patz, a photographer, and his wife Julie lived in a loft on Prince Street with their three children: Shira, then age 8; Etan, 6; and Ari, 2.Julie ran a day-care center out of her home. On the morning of May 25, as was her routine, Julie got her own children ready for the day as she prepared for the 14 preschoolers she cared for. As Julie dished out breakfast for her family, little Etan started agitating to walk himself to the bus stop again. Hed been asking if he could for some time now. A six-week school bus strike had just ended; the buses were scheduled to resume service that day. During the strike, the Patzes had hired a woman to walk Etan to school, but now that the buses were back, Etan pleaded with his parents to let him walkthe two blocks to the bus stop by himself. Etan was a good boy, and it was a close-knit neighborhood where the residents watched out for the children, so the Patzes gave in and told him he could walk to the bus stop like a big boy. Etan was elated. He was dressed all in blue that dayblue pants, blue corduroy jacket, and blue sneakers with distinctive fluorescent stripes along the sides. He carried a blue cloth bag with an elephant pattern on the fabric. And as usual he was wearing his black Future Flight Captain pilots cap, which covered his straight, light-brown hair. He pulled it down low over his brow, shading his blue eyes. He wore his prized cap all the time, even to bed. Hed bought it at an outdoor flea market for 10 cents. Julie took Etan downstairs to the street and gave him a dollar for a soft drink at the local bodega. It was a misty morning, and the pavement was wet. Julie watched Etan as he started his big journey, two short blocks to the corner of Prince and West Broadway where the bus would pick him up. She kept her eye on him as he proceeded to the first corner at Wooster Street. After he crossed, Julie went back upstairs, confident that Etan could make it the rest of the way by himself. It was just 150 feet to the bus stop.A woman who lived nearby saw Etan as he stood on the corner of Wooster and Prince, a relatively quiet intersection, as he waited to cross. A mailman also saw him at that intersection. They were the last people known to see Etan Patz. The school bus arrived at the West Broadway stop at 8:10 a.m. A group of children got on, but Etan Patz wasnt with them. Later that morning at the Independence Plaza School on Greenwich Street, Etans first-grade teacher noticed his absence but failed to report it to the principals office. Julie Patz was unaware that her son was missing until that afternoon. The bus returned to the West Broadway stop at 3:15 p.m. The neighbor who always picked up Etan along with his own daughter was puzzled when Etan didnt get off the bus. His daughter informed him that Etan hadnt been in school that day. The man wondered why Julie or Stanley hadnt called to let him know that Etan was staying home that day.At the Patzes loft, Julie was beginning to worry. Etan should have been home by now. She called the neighbor who usually escorted Etan and learned for the first time that Etan hadnt been in school that day. Julie immediately called the police, then called her husband who raced home.NYPD Detective William Butler got the call from his dispatcher at 5:15 p.m., and he and his partner drove directly to the Patzes loft. As soon as Detective Butler spoke to Etans parents, he knew instinctively that this was not a typical lost-child situation. In most cases its just a case of crossed signals, kids thinking they have their parents permission to go to a friends house when they really dont. Other kids just wander off and play hooky. But Butler felt this case was different.The search for Etan Patz began that evening. Nearly 100 officers combed the area, knocking on doors, searching rooftops and basements. The Patzes apartment was used as a temporary command post because Etan knew his phone number. Julie and Stanley hovered by the phone, praying for him to call. The police stood by in case a kidnapper called in with a ransom demand. The night wore on. Just before midnight it started to rain. Julie fretted because Etan had left that morning with only a light jacket. Detective Butler quietly worried that the rain would wash away Etans scent. Bloodhounds were being brought in from upstate, but they werent scheduled to arrive until 8 a.m. He hoped thered be something left for the hounds to smell. The next morning when the bloodhounds finally arrived, they were given a pair of Etans pajamas to identify their subject, then they were sent out into the streets with their handlers. In the meantime the search area was expanded to encompass the entire lower end of Manhattan from 14th Street to Battery Park. Police helicopters hovered over the search zone, scanning rooftops. Police boats scoured the waterways.The police appealed to the public for any tip that could lead to the boys whereabouts. Toll-free telephone numbers were set up, and calls started pouring in, some from as far away as California. Neighborhood residents helped in the search, papering the city with color posters of Etans face. The media jumped on the story and propagated several erroneous leads regarding Etan Patz sightings in Boston and other places. For days it seemed that Etans smiling face was everywhereon lamp poles, in store windows, in the newspapers, on television. The police continued the search, giving it everything they had. But on June 6, 13 days after he disappeared, the emergency response wasterminated. Etan Patzs disappearance remained an open case, but most of the officers who had taken part in the search were eventually reassigned to other cases.Q. Based on the passage, which of the following qualifies as a case of what Detective Butler calls crossed signals?

Which of the following is true according to the passage?

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the questions.It is a sin to write this. It is a sin to think words no others think and to put them down upon a paper no others are to see. It is base and evil. It is as if we were speaking alone to no ears but our own. And we know well that there is no transgression blacker than to do or think alone. We have broken the laws. The laws say that men may not write unless the Council of Vocations bid them so. May we be forgiven!But this is not the only sin upon us. We have committed a greater crime, and for this crime there is no name. What punishment awaits us if it be discovered we know not, for no such crime has come in the memory of men and there are no laws to provide for it.It is dark here. The flame of the candle stands still in the air. Nothing moves in this tunnel save our hand on the paper. We are alone here under the earth. It is a fearful word, alone. The laws say that none among men may be alone, ever and at any time, for this is the great transgression and the root of all evil. But we have broken many laws. And now there is nothing here save our one body, and it is strange to see only two legs stretched on the ground, and on the wall before us the shadow of our one head. The walls are cracked and water runs upon them in thin threads without sound, black and glistening as blood. We stole the candle from the larder of the Home of the Street Sweepers. We shall be sentenced to ten years in the Palace of Corrective Detention if it be discovered. But this matters not. It matters only that the light is precious and we should not waste it to write when we need it for that work which is our crime. Nothing matters save the work, our secret, our evil, our precious work. Still, we must also write, for - may the Council have mercy upon us! - we wish to speak for once to no ears but our own. Our name is Equality 7-2521, as it is written on the iron bracelet which all men wear on their left wrists with their names upon it. We are twenty-one years old. We are six feet tall, and this is a burden, for there are not many men who are six feet tall. Ever have the Teachers and the Leaders pointed to us and frowned and said: "There is evil in your bones, Equality 7-2521, for your body has grown beyond the bodies of your brothers." But we cannot change our bones nor our body. We were born with a curse. It has always driven us to thoughts which are forbidden. It has always given us wishes which men may not wish. We know that we are evil, but there is no will in us and no power to resist it. This is our wonder and our secret fear, that we know and do not resist.The world described in the passage is a world which is
