• D. jwellery
• A. I was knowing
• B. I had known
• C. I know
• D. I would have known

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Identify the sentence → “The young man said that he had no _____ riches.” The blank must be filled with the correct phrase to make the sentence grammatically and contextually complete.
Step 2: Analyze the context → The sentence implies that the young man is expressing a lack of craving, interest, or longing toward wealth.
Step 3: Recall standard collocations → In English, the natural collocation is “desire for” when referring to wanting something. For example: “She has a desire for knowledge,” “He has no desire for fame.”
Step 4: Apply it to the sentence → Filling the blank: “The young man said that he had no desire for riches.” This is both grammatically correct and contextually meaningful.
Step 5: Validate → Other prepositions like “desire of” or “desire to” do not fit properly in this sentence. The only correct phrase is “desire for.”
Step 6: Apply formatting rule → Present the final answer inside the div without unnecessary spaces.
FinalAnswer:desirefor

Answer 2

Since "no" must be followed by a noun, we can first rule out any option that is not a noun phrase, then check which preposition fits the noun "desire" correctly.

1. desire of: "Desire" is a noun here, but "of" is the wrong preposition to pair with it when talking about wanting something.
2. desire for: "Desire" is a noun, and "for" is the preposition that correctly pairs with it, as in "a desire for success".
3. desirous of: "Desirous" is an adjective, not a noun, so it cannot directly follow "no" the way a noun does. This breaks the sentence structure.
4. desire on: "On" is not a preposition that pairs with "desire" in standard English.

Ruling out the adjective form and the wrong prepositions leaves "desire for" as the only phrase that fits both the grammar and the meaning of the sentence.

Let's summarize:

• The blank needs a noun after "no", ruling out the adjective "desirous of".
• Among the noun options, "for" is the preposition that correctly follows "desire".

Therefore, the correct answer is desire for.

Answer 3

Step 1: Identify the sentence → “She kept all her _____ in the bank locker.” The blank requires a suitable noun that people typically keep safe in a bank locker.
Step 2: Analyze the context → Bank lockers are used to store valuable items such as gold, diamonds, ornaments, and other precious belongings. The most common and natural fit is “jewellery.”
Step 3: Apply grammar and usage → “Jewellery” is an uncountable noun in English (in British usage) and is correctly used in this context to refer collectively to ornaments. Example: “She wore beautiful jewellery.”
Step 4: Insert into the sentence → The corrected sentence is: “She kept all her jewellery in the bank locker.”
Step 5: Validate → Other possible words would not be as precise, because money is kept in accounts, while jewellery is exactly what is stored in lockers for safety. Hence, the correct answer is “jewellery.”
FinalAnswer:jewellery

Answer 4

This question is really about spotting the correctly spelt word, so we can check each option purely as a spelling problem.

1. jewelery: This is missing the double "l" that the standard British spelling needs.
2. jewelries: "Jewellery" is an uncountable noun in standard usage, so it does not take an "-ies" plural form like this.
3. jewellery: This has both the double "l" and the correct letter order, matching the standard British spelling.
4. jwellery: This is missing the "e" after the "j" and is simply a misspelling.

Checking the letters one by one, only "jewellery" has the correct double "l" and full spelling, so it is the one that fits.

Let's summarize:

• The word needs a double "l" and no plural "-ies" ending.
• Only one option keeps both of these right.

Therefore, the correct answer is jewellery.

Answer 5

Step 1: Identify the given sentence → “I wish that Harish was ill, I would have gone to see him.”
Step 2: Understand the intended meaning → The phrase “I wish” in this context is incorrectly used. The speaker is not expressing a wish that Harish were ill, but rather stating knowledge or awareness of Harish’s illness as the reason for visiting.
Step 3: Correct logical expression → The correct way to introduce this sentence is with “I know that Harish was ill …” because the speaker is presenting a fact, not a wish. “Wish” expresses desire or regret, which changes the sense entirely.
Step 4: Construct the corrected sentence → “I know that Harish was ill, I would have gone to see him.” This aligns with the intended meaning in the passage.
Step 5: Apply the correct option → The answer is option (C): “I know.”
Step 6: Apply the formatting rule → The final answer must be presented clearly in one string inside the div.

Answer 6

The main clause "I would have gone to see him" is the result half of a third conditional, the kind used for an unreal past situation. That means the other half of the sentence needs the matching past perfect form, not a simple present or a repeated "would have".

1. I was knowing: "Know" is a state verb and does not take the continuous form "was knowing" in standard English, so this is grammatically wrong on its own.
2. I had known: The past perfect "had known" is exactly the form a third conditional needs before a result like "would have gone", giving "I had known that Harish was ill, I would have gone to see him".
3. I know: The present tense cannot pair with "would have gone", which talks about something that did not happen in the past. The tenses do not match.
4. I would have known: Using "would have" again here doubles up the hypothetical mood in what should be the condition part of the sentence, which is not how a third conditional is built.

Only the past perfect "had known" correctly matches the past hypothetical result "would have gone to see him".

Let's summarize:

• "Would have gone" signals a third conditional, an unreal past situation.
• Third conditionals need a past perfect clause, which only "I had known" provides.

Therefore, the correct answer is I had known.
