English Grammar: Sentence Completion

It refers to one particular urge of a particular person. So article 'the' will be used.

The correct preposition after accused is of - accused of something. This is a fixed idiomatic expression in English grammar. Accused on, accused to, and accused with are not correct English expressions.

The phrase is pay my respects - meaning to show deference or honor to someone. Respects is always plural in this idiom. Respect (singular) and respected (adjective) dont fit the fixed expression.

When a subject is connected to another noun phrase with with, the verb agrees with the main subject. The main subject is mother (singular), so was is correct. Were would be used if both subjects were connected by and.

The little with the definite article refers to the specific, entire quantity of water mentioned. A little refers to some unspecified amount. Little alone suggests almost no water, which contradicts that water evaporated.

The idiom 'catch at a straw' (or 'catch at straws') means to desperately try any possible option when in a difficult situation. This comes from the metaphorical idea of a drowning person grabbing at anything to save themselves. The other prepositions do not form the correct idiom.

The word 'preferable' is already in the comparative form, so we don't add 'more' or 'most' before it. The correct construction is 'preferable to' when comparing two things. 'Most preferable' is incorrect because it redundantly adds 'most' to a word that is already comparative.

The phrase 'dates from' means 'originates from' or 'has existed since'. When talking about the historical origin of something, we use 'dates from' to indicate the starting point in time. The other prepositions (of, for, on) do not form the correct idiom in this context.

The simple past tense 'started' is correct because this describes a completed action in the past. 'Has started' (present perfect) would connect it to the present, which is not appropriate here. 'Had started' (past perfect) would require another past event to relate to, and 'has been starting' is not grammatically correct.

The idiom 'carried away by' means to become overly excited or emotional about something, to the point of losing control or rationality. Hrithik Roshan became so overwhelmed by his quick success that he lost his composure. The other prepositions (on, about, ahead) do not form the correct idiom.

The phrase 'lost to' means 'no longer having' or 'deprived of'. When someone has 'lost all sense of shame', they are no longer capable of feeling shame. The other prepositions (on, onto, of) do not form the correct idiom in this context.

The phrase 'show partiality to' means to favor or give preferential treatment to someone. When you show partiality, you favor one person or group over others. The other prepositions (off, of, on) do not form the correct idiom with 'partiality'.

The phrase 'adhere to' means to stick to, follow, or abide by something. When someone decides to adhere to duplicate ornaments, they are choosing to follow or stick with those ornaments. The other prepositions (off, on, in) do not form the correct idiom with 'adhere'.

The present continuous tense 'is wearing' is correct here because it describes something happening at the present moment. The speaker is observing what the person is currently wearing. 'Wear' is present simple but not appropriate for this context, 'would wear' is conditional, and 'was wear' is grammatically incorrect.

The correct phrase is 'replace X with Y' - you put something new in place of something old. While 'replace by' is sometimes used, 'replace with' is the more standard and clear construction when indicating substitution. The preposition 'by' is less common and 'at'/'of' are incorrect in this context.

The phrase 'originated from' means 'came from' or 'had its origin in'. When an idea originated from someone, it means that person was the source or creator of the idea. The other prepositions (of, with, on) do not form the correct idiom in this context.

The sentence describes a recurring event (every year), so we use the present tense passive voice. 'Is held' is correct because the fair happens annually - it receives the action rather than performing it. 'Holded' is not a valid English word form.

Both clauses describe past events. 'Came' is past tense, so we use past tense 'needed' to show when the help was required. This maintains tense consistency in the sentence.

The phrase 'give up' means to stop or quit doing something. The mother is advising her daughter to stop bad habits. 'Give in' means to surrender, 'give out' means to distribute or stop working, 'give away' means to donate or reveal.

The adjective 'unreasonable' is followed by the preposition 'of' when describing someone's character or behavior. This is a standard pattern: unreasonable of someone, unreasonable for something. 'It was unreasonable of you' is the correct usage.

The statement expresses a general truth or habit, so we use the simple present tense. 'Girls generally don't like' is correct because we use auxiliary 'do/does' for negation in present tense. The other options use wrong tenses or lack the auxiliary.

The time marker 'last night' indicates a completed past action, so we need simple past tense. 'Died' is correct. 'Has died' is present perfect for recent past with present relevance, 'have died' has wrong subject-verb agreement, 'is dying' means happening now.
