With days and nights when treated as a unit, we use "on." "On Friday night," "on Saturday morning." This treats the day+time as a specific point. We don't use "at" for days, and "in" would be for longer periods like months or seasons.

The preposition 'between' requires object pronouns. After a preposition, we use the objective case, so 'him' is correct. 'Me' would also be grammatically objective but doesn't fit the context of sitting between 'you' and another person.

This is a mixed conditional: a past condition ('hadn't eaten' - past perfect) with a present result. The correct structure is 'If + past perfect, ... would + base verb for present result.' Option D correctly uses 'would not be' to show the present consequence of the past action.

'After' indicates the fire stopped burning sometime past nine o'clock. 'For' would suggest duration (how long it burned), while 'Since' would imply it has been dead out starting from nine o'clock until now - neither fits the context of when an action completed.

To solve this question, the user needs to understand prepositions and their usage. Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence.

Each of the options can be used as a preposition, but the correct answer in this sentence is the option that best describes the location of the keys.

A. "At" is a preposition that indicates a specific location, but it is not the best option in this sentence. It would be more appropriate to use "at" if the sentence was "I left the keys at the office."

B. "In" is a preposition that usually describes the location of an object inside something else. For example, "The keys are in the drawer." However, it is not the best option in this sentence because the keys are not inside anything.

C. "On" is a preposition that describes a location on a surface. This option is the best choice because the keys are most likely resting on the surface of the kitchen counter.

D. "None of these" is not the correct answer as option C, "on," is the most appropriate preposition in this sentence.

The Answer is: C

To solve this question, the user needs to understand how to use prepositions of time.

The correct preposition to use when referring to a specific time of the day is "at". Therefore, the correct answer is:

The Answer is: A) at

Option B) "in" is incorrect because it is used to refer to a period of time, such as "in the morning" or "in the afternoon".

Option C) "on" is incorrect because it is used to refer to days or dates, such as "on Monday" or "on June 1st".

Option D) "none of these" is incorrect because option A is the correct answer.

'In' is the correct preposition for ingredients contained within or mixed into a dish. We say 'in the salad,' 'in the soup,' or 'in the cake' because the ingredients are inside the food. 'At' would suggest location rather than inclusion.

'Our' is a possessive adjective that modifies the noun 'school.' Possessive adjectives (my, your, his, her, its, our, their) come before nouns. 'Ours' is a possessive pronoun that stands alone, 'us' is an object pronoun, and 'mine' is first-person singular.

To solve this question, the user needs to understand the grammar rules for subject-verb agreement and pronoun usage. In this sentence, "uncle" is the subject, and the question is asking for the appropriate pronoun to refer to him.

The correct answer is:

B. he

Explanation:
In the sentence, "uncle" is a singular third-person masculine noun, and the pronoun that refers to him must also be singular and masculine. "He" is the appropriate pronoun to use in this case. Option A ("it") is incorrect because "it" is used to refer to inanimate objects or animals, not people. Option C ("you") and option D ("me") are also incorrect because they are not appropriate pronouns to refer to the uncle.

This is a second conditional (present unreal). The structure is 'If + past subjunctive (were for all subjects), ... would + base verb.' 'If Jane were here' sets up the hypothetical present situation, and 'she would know what to do' expresses the hypothetical result.

This is a third conditional (past unreal). The structure is 'If + past perfect, ... would + have + past participle.' 'Had studied' describes the unfulfilled past condition, and 'would have passed' describes the hypothetical past result. Option B is the only grammatically correct choice.

Years are preceded by the preposition 'in.' Just as we say 'in 1990,' 'in January,' or 'in the 21st century,' we ask 'in what year.' 'At' is used for precise times (at 5 PM), and 'on' for days (on Monday).

'In' is correct because we swim inside a contained body of water. 'At the pool' would mean you're at the pool facility (perhaps sitting on a chair), but not necessarily swimming in the water itself. 'On' is used for surfaces.

'Ours' is a possessive pronoun used after 'of' to indicate possession without repeating the noun. 'Friends of ours' means 'our friends.' 'Our' is a possessive adjective that must come before a noun, 'us' is an object pronoun, and 'their' is third-person plural.

'Their' is the possessive adjective for the third-person plural subject 'Ram and Arun.' It shows joint possession of the dog. 'His' is singular masculine, 'there' is an adverb indicating location, and 'them' is an object pronoun.

'Its' is the neuter possessive pronoun for animals and things. 'It's' is a contraction of 'it is,' which doesn't make sense here. 'His' and 'her' are gendered pronouns typically used for people, not animals unless the gender is specified.

Squat as an adjective means short and thick in shape, like a squat building or jar. Option A (concordat) is an agreement between church and state, unrelated. Option B (helpful) is a different word entirely. Option C describes a facial expression, not physical dimensions.

Spry describes someone (usually an older person) who remains vigorously active and energetic for their age. Option A means to give consent, unrelated. Option B describes violent pulling. Option D means conciliatory or willing to compromise.

Liquidate means to settle accounts or wind up a business by converting assets to cash. Option A would mean the opposite cause. Option C describes an active elderly person (spry). Option D means old-fashioned or outdated.

Spurn means to reject with disdain or contempt. Option B is a meeting room, unrelated. Option C means showing superior courtesy, not rejection. Option D means to twist or squeeze, unrelated to rejection.
