Fill in the Blanks

'Latter' refers to the second of two things mentioned, while 'later' refers to time.

'Shall' is traditionally used with 'I' or 'we' in questions to make an offer or suggestion.

Musical instruments require the definite article 'the' when referring to the act of playing them. 'A' or 'an' would imply playing one of many violins, which is not the standard idiomatic usage.

The phrase 'no end to' is a common idiomatic expression meaning something is continuous or persistent. 'Of', 'in', and 'off' do not form a standard collocation with 'no end' in this context.

The verb 'excuse' requires an object pronoun when someone is being asked for forgiveness. 'Me' is the correct objective case pronoun, whereas 'my' is a possessive adjective.

The verb 'call' in the sense of labeling someone does not require a preposition like 'as' or 'like' when followed by the noun. The sentence 'She called me a dullard' is grammatically complete.

The idiom 'it is no good' is followed by the gerund form of the verb. Therefore, 'crying' is the correct choice.

The verb 'avoid' is followed by a gerund rather than an infinitive. 'Going' is the correct form to complete the sentence.

America was 'discovered' by explorers, which is the standard historical term. 'Invented' is incorrect because America is a continent, not a machine or process.

The phrase 'no harm in' is followed by a gerund to describe the action. 'In doing' is the correct prepositional phrase.

We use preposition 'to' in comparative sentences where words like preferable, prior, superior, inferior etc. are used.

Marconi created the wireless, so the correct verb is 'invented'. 'Discovered' is used for things that already existed but were unknown.

The subject is 'One', which is singular. Therefore, the singular verb 'is' must be used, regardless of the plural 'friends' in the prepositional phrase.

Farther means at a greater distance. Further more means in addition. Most means majority of. Further means moreover. So, further completes the sentence meaningfully.

The sentence uses the imperative mood or a simple present structure for a command or instruction. 'Come' is the correct base form for this imperative construction.
