Fill in the Blanks

'Verbosely' is the most suitable adverb used here.

'Smart' and 'quiet' are adjectives; 'quitely' is an incorrect word in the context. It is not the same thing as 'quietly'.

Case of prepositional usage. Verb 'preside' is followed preposition 'over'. It means 'to be in control of the order and procedures of a meeting or ceremony'.

Case of prepositional usage. We often find inssane people lying 'on' or 'along' the road. So, preposition 'on' is the right choice here.

Case of subject identification and verb relation. Words like 'along with', 'together with', 'with', etc relates to the first subject. As the first subject here (i.e. the chief minister) is singular noun, so the auxilary needs to be singular. Thus, option 3.

To fill the blank, we need a verb rather than the verb of being. 'Escaped' is not the right option because it means to avoid an illness, accident, pain, etc. Saved means to protect or to defend, and it rightly explains the intention of the sentence.

In such case, we use the same auxilary but the opposite connotation. So, 'do' is required here, which needs to be followed by 'not'.

This is a case of past indefinite tense. 'Said' (past of say) needs to be followed by a past auxilary. So, 'was' is the best option.

Case of auxilary usage. News is a singular noun and is to be followed by a singular auxilary. 'Does' is the right choice here. 'Has' is not the right option as we know that 'has/have' are followed by third form of the verb, which is not used here.

Case of present perfect continuous tense. Here, a duration or period of time is mentioned for the time that has begun in the past and is still in action. In such cases, preposition 'for' is used. 'Since' is used in case of 'point of time'.

Only 'their' fits best here.

Options (1), (2) and (3) are used with singular subjects. As the quantity of the books is indefinite, so the determiner 'any' will be used. 

'Even though' means similar to though.

Absolutely is correct. It means totally or completely.

This is the most suitable option.
