Option (2) is correct because an imperative sentence has no subject. It has a predicate only and begins with an action verb. It is used for requests and orders.

Option (1) is the correct answer because ‘earth’ is the name of a planet.

Door is a non-living object. We use ‘it’ for non-living things. Hence, option (2) is correct.

Option (4) is correct because ‘people’ is a plural noun. We use ‘they’ for plural nouns.

Option (3) is correct because we need an adverb here and adverb ‘carefully’ modifies the verb ‘handled’.

Option (4) is correct because the adjective �enough� is used before a noun and �food� is a noun. More cannot be used as no comparison has been made here.

Option (3) is correct because preposition �on� is used with days and dates.

Option (2) is correct because �off� is used when things/persons are separated from the other.

Option (1) is correct answer because ‘or’ is used to present two alternative options for a situation.

Option (2) is correct because we use ‘but’ to present a problem or an opposite statement.

Option (1) is the correct answer. Conjunction ‘and’ is used to join two sentences/clauses/words of similar kind.

We use is/am/are + v1 + ing in present continuous tense.

Option (3) is correct because we need an adverb ‘slowly’ and not an adjective or a noun.

Option (2) is correct because we use V³ with the helping verb has/have/had.

Option (2) is correct because 'now' is used in present continuous tense and we use is/am/are +V¹ + ing in the present continuous tense. So, it should be 'is reading' in place of 'is read'.

“He wears” suggests Q. "He gets up very early" suggests R. "He puts them (letters and parcels)" suggests S. "Some get bad news" suggests that others get 'good news'.

The reply of the blind man was that the lamp was not for him. It suggests the idea of people ‘’who are careless.” The reply of the blind man made the two men feel sorry and this suggests “for their foolishness”.
