Fill in the Blanks

The phrase 'smile on someone' means to show favor, luck, or goodwill towards them. 'Smile at' describes the physical direction of a smile, 'smile over' is not idiomatic, and 'smile to' is incorrect. The sentence refers to fate showing favor, requiring the idiomatic 'on'.

This imperative sentence uses 'or' as a conjunction meaning 'otherwise' to connect a command with its negative consequence. 'Make haste or else' is a standard English construction. 'Else' is redundant here, 'either' requires a preceding choice, and 'upon' doesn't fit the logical structure.

'Smile at' is the correct phrasal verb when someone is reacting to something with a smile - the object of the smile is what prompted it. 'Smile on' means to show favor, 'smile over' isn't idiomatic, and 'smile upon' is incorrect. The sentence describes someone smiling in reaction to words.

'Run over' is the specific phrasal verb meaning to hit something with a vehicle. 'Run out' means to exhaust a supply, 'run into' means to collide with or encounter, and 'run for' means to compete for office or run towards something. The passive voice 'has been run over' correctly describes the dog being hit.

'Genuine' means authentic, real, or sincere - directly contrasting with 'attractive' (which may be superficial). 'Valuable' is about worth, 'rare' about scarcity, and 'bonafide' (a legal term meaning 'made in good faith') doesn't fit the casual context. The sentence contrasts surface appeal with authenticity.

The phrase 'great pleasure' is a standard English expression used to convey strong positive feelings about presenting something. 'High pleasure' and 'deep pleasure' are not idiomatic, while 'much pleasure' is less commonly used in this context.

The preposition 'for' is used to indicate purpose or intention. 'I left home for a walk' means I left home with the purpose of taking a walk, which is the correct usage.

'Seek approval' is a standard phrase meaning to request or try to obtain someone's approval or permission. 'Order' and 'restore' don't fit the context, while 'collect' suggests gathering something rather than requesting approval.

When comparing two people or things, we use the comparative form 'better.' The superlative 'best' is used when comparing three or more items. 'Top' and 'fine' don't complete the grammatical comparison correctly.

 Fulfill is correct because the sentence is implying that duties must be carried out and that the book in question will help in this. Fulfill is synonymous to "carry out" and hence, is the correct answer.

'Attend to' is a formal phrase meaning to care for or look after someone, especially in medical or professional contexts. Physicians 'attend to' patients as part of their professional duty. While 'tend' is similar, it would need to be 'tend to' to be grammatical here.

The verb 'become' has a secondary meaning 'to suit or look attractive on.' 'Modesty becomes a woman' means that modesty is an attractive or appropriate quality for a woman. This is a formal/literary usage.

Present continuous tense ('are having') is used for fixed future arrangements, especially when a specific time is mentioned. 'Will have' suggests a prediction or spontaneous decision, while 'have' is for general truths or habits, not planned events.

'Look down upon' is a phrasal verb meaning to view someone as inferior or treat them with contempt. While 'look down on' is also common, 'look down upon' is the complete phrasal verb here. 'Look up' means the opposite (to respect someone).

The subjunctive mood is used after 'as if' for hypothetical or contrary-to-fact situations. In the subjunctive, 'were' is used for all subjects (I, you, he, she, it, we, they) instead of 'was.' This indicates an imaginary situation.
