1.Option 1 is correct. To break down means to fail to function or to lose control of one’s emotions. The other options do not match the meaning of the idiom.
2.Option 1 is correct.it’s important to remember that “everyone,” “everything,” “everybody,” and “everywhere” refer to a single group. The contents of the group are an unspecified number of people, things, or places, but the group is singular, so we always follow these pronouns with a singular verb.
All indefinite pronouns that end in -one will take a singular verb. These include “everyone,” “someone,” “anyone,” and “no one.”
Everyone are happy about their news. (Incorrect)
Everyone is happy about their news. (Correct)
3.Option 2 is correct. The preposition through is used to indicate movement from one side of something to the other. The other options do not make sense in the context of the sentence.
4.Option 2 is incorrect. The error is in the preposition from. The correct preposition to use with enquire is of, not from. The other parts are correct.
5.Option 3 is correct. The logical order of the parts is C, B, D, A, which makes the sentence: In the early dawn, I saw a young shepherd herding the cattle to the nearby jungle. The other options do not form a coherent sentence.
6.Option 4 is correct. Intercede means to act or intervene on behalf of someone in a dispute or difficulty. Intervene has a similar meaning. The other options are not synonyms of intercede.
7.Option 2 is correct. To change a sentence from active voice to passive voice, the object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentence, and the subject of the active sentence becomes the agent of the passive sentence. The verb also changes to the passive form, which is be + past participle. The other options are either in the wrong tense or have the wrong word order.
8.Option 2 is correct. Frail means weak or delicate. Stalwart means strong or loyal. The other options are not antonyms of frail.
9.Option 4 is correct. The sentence is in the simple past tense, which is used to express an action that happened at a specific time in the past. The other options are different tenses that do not match the sentence.
10.Option 4 is correct. The article an is used before a word that begins with a vowel sound. The word honest begins with a silent h, so it has a vowel sound. The other options are either incorrect or unnecessary.
