  1. to and fro

  2. far and wide

  3. now and then

  4. over and over

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The two adverbs joined by a conjunction such as 'over and over' are used when something is done frequently and repeatedly. In the given sentence, he wanted his performance to be perfect on the evening of the show. Thus, to indicate how much he practised to achieve perfection, 'over and over' is used.

In order to have a perfect performance he practised the symphony but did not move backwards and forwards or up and down. Nor, did he move over a large area. Hence, the adverb phrases, to and fro and far and wide i.e. options A and B are incorrect.
Option C will also be incorrect as now and then is used when something is done occasionally which is not the case here.
Therefore, the answer is option D.

Correct Option: B
Explanation:

We are to choose the adverb which describes the location of the country.
Option B and D -'Below' and 'Beneath' mean underneath something. The country cannot be under the mountains. Hence both the options are incorrect.
'Anew' means 'afresh and start from beginning'. Therefore Option C is the incorrect option.
Option B- 'Beyond' means 'farther away or at a distance'. This word aptly describes the location of the country. The country is at a distance or farther away from the mountains.
Hence Option B is the correct option.

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The correct answer is Option A.

We are to identify the adverb of place - the place where 'she is lying'.
Option B- 'Ahead' means 'further in space' i.e. in the lead of someone else. However in the sentence 'she' is alone - there is no one else. So ahead is not the suitable adverb.
Option C- 'Aboard' means on or into the ship. Here 'she; is lying- Hence even this option is ruled out.
Option D- 'Away' means a different position, but in the given sentence 'she' is at the same place.
Option A-'Abed' means in bed. This perfectly describes the place where the action of lying takes place.
Hence option A is the correct answer.
