Fill in the Blanks

The word "Since" indicates an action or state that began in the past and continues to or has relevance in the present. Present Perfect tense (has won) is used with "since" to show the starting point of a continuing situation. "Win" is present tense, "had won" is past perfect, and "have won" doesn't agree with the singular subject "he".

The answer is "was taken". No other choice would work. Option 3 could work, but there would be a need for the word "been" included in the sentence; however, this form is not needed for the sentence.

The sentence describes an action completed before another past event or time reference. Past Perfect tense (had given) is used when one past action happened before another past action. "Have given" is present perfect, "gave" is simple past, "was giving" is past continuous, and "were giving" doesn't agree with singular "government".

The sentence describes moving together with someone. "Came along" is a phrasal verb meaning to accompany someone. "Came upon" means to discover by chance, "came before" means preceding, and "came ahead" is not a standard phrasal verb in this context.

The sentence describes a completed action in the past with a specific time marker (last year). Simple Past tense (left) is used for completed actions with definite past time. Present Perfect (has/have left) cannot be used with specific past time markers like "last year". "Leave" is present tense, and "had left" would require another past event for context.

The sentence uses "before" with a clause referring to the future from the perspective of the main clause. Simple Present tense (come) is used in time clauses (introduced by before, after, when, etc.) to refer to future time. "Came" is past tense, "comes" is third person singular, and "am coming" is present continuous.

The sentence describes seeing someone in the past. Simple Past tense (saw) is used for completed actions. "Seen" is a past participle and needs an auxiliary verb. "Was seen" is passive, "do saw" is grammatically incorrect, and "have seen" is present perfect.

The first blank requires a singular verb to agree with "postman" (singular). The second blank requires a plural verb to agree with "friends" (plural). "Was" agrees with postman, "were" agrees with friends. The other options either mix up the numbers or use incorrect tenses.

The sentence describes a passive action where respect is given to Suruchi. The present tense "is respected" is correct for a current state. The singular subject "she" requires singular verb forms. "Was/were respected" are past tense and don't agree in number, "has respected" is active voice.

The sentence describes a house being completed in the past. Passive voice with past tense (was completed) is required. "Is completed" would mean it's happening now, "had completed" is wrong as houses cannot complete themselves, and "will completed" is grammatically incorrect.

The sentence describes a future arrangement ('This will be') in addition to a promised amount. 'Will be' is the correct future tense form to indicate what is additionally expected. 'Would be' would require a conditional context, which isn't present here.

The sentence discusses the purpose of education. 'Should' expresses moral obligation or purpose, indicating what education ought to do. 'Will/shall' indicate simple future, 'would' is conditional, and 'can' indicates ability rather than purpose.
