Explanation:
To find the appropriate word for blank (ii), we need to consider the context of the sentence. The sentence mentions that "The children play" followed by the blank. So, we need to determine where the children play in relation to the trees.
The correct word for blank (ii) is "under" because when children play under the trees, it implies that they are playing in the shade or shelter provided by the trees.
Reasoning:
- The word "over" does not fit in this context because it implies that the children are playing above the trees, which is not mentioned in the sentence.
- The word "above" does not fit in this context because it implies that the children are playing at a higher level than the trees, which is not mentioned in the sentence.
- The word "in" does not fit in this context because it does not convey the specific location of the children in relation to the trees.
- The word "under" fits in this context because it implies that the children are playing beneath the trees, taking advantage of the shade or shelter provided by the trees.
Therefore, the appropriate word for blank (ii) is "under" (option A).
