Prepositions

In English, the word "home" when used with verbs of movement like "come" or "go" does not require a preposition. The correct phrase is "He always comes home late." Using "to" before "home" is incorrect in this context. The preposition "at" is used to indicate location (e.g., "He is at home"), but not with "comes" in this sentence. Therefore, none of the given options A (to), B (at), or C (Both A & B) are correct. The correct answer is D (None of above).

The correct preposition to use with 'ashamed' when referring to the cause is 'of'. Therefore, 'He is now ashamed of his conduct.' is correct.

The correct preposition to indicate the general time period of night is 'at'. The idiomatic expression is 'at night' (without 'the'). 'On the night' is used when referring to a specific night or event (e.g., 'on the night of the concert'), and 'in the night' refers to something happening during the night. The phrase 'at the night' is not idiomatic. Therefore, the best choice among the options for the sentence '_____ the night mysterious creatures prowl.' is 'at', making the sentence 'At night mysterious creatures prowl.'

The correct preposition to complete the phrase 'Sana is not known _____ me' is 'to'. The phrase 'known to someone' is the standard English expression indicating familiarity or recognition by that person.

The correct preposition to use with 'interested' when referring to activities is 'in'. Therefore, 'She is interested in drawing and painting.' is correct.

The idiomatic expression is "jest at" or more commonly "in jest." The phrase "in jest" means something said humorously or without serious intent. The preposition "with" is not typically used with "jest" in this context. Therefore, the correct preposition to complete the sentence "You should not jest _____ his poverty" is "at," meaning you should not make fun of his poverty.

The correct preposition to use when indicating an exchange of one thing for another is 'for'. Hence, 'exchanged that lovely car for this' is correct.

The standard and idiomatic preposition to use with 'anxious' when expressing worry or concern about someone's health is 'about'. For example, 'They are anxious about his health' means they are worried about his health. While 'anxious for' can sometimes be used to express eagerness or anticipation, it is less common and not the typical choice for expressing concern or worry. Therefore, the correct answer is 'C' (about).

The correct preposition to use with 'worried' when referring to concerns about something is 'about'. Therefore, 'He is worried about his future.' is correct.

The correct preposition to use with 'translate' when indicating the target language is 'into'. Therefore, 'Translate this passage into English.' is correct.

The correct preposition to use with 'buttons' and 'dress' is 'on' because buttons are attached to the surface of the dress. 'In', 'at', and 'over' do not correctly describe this placement.

The correct preposition to use with 'covered' in this context is 'with', as in 'Head is covered with hair.' This is the standard and grammatically correct phrase.

The correct preposition to use with 'succeeded' when indicating the achievement of an action is 'in'. The phrase 'succeeded in killing the tiger' is the proper and idiomatic expression. The options 'by', 'with', and 'on' are not used with 'succeeded' in this context. Therefore, the correct answer is 'D' (in).

The correct preposition to use with 'congratulate' when referring to an achievement is 'on'. Hence, 'We congratulate you on your achievement.' is correct.

The correct preposition to complete the phrase is 'over,' as in 'He got over his illness,' which means he recovered from it. The other options do not fit idiomatically in this context.

The correct preposition to use with 'shy' when referring to a person is 'of'. Therefore, 'I am shy of my teacher' is the correct phrase.

The correct preposition to use with 'trembling' in this context is 'with' to indicate the cause of trembling, so 'trembling with cold' is correct.

The correct preposition to use with 'proud' in this context is 'of'. The phrase 'proud of my brother' is the standard and grammatically correct expression.

The correct preposition to express the purpose or reason for building memorials is 'to'. 'Memorials to his greatness' means the memorials are dedicated in honor of his greatness.

The correct preposition to use in this context is 'over,' as the phrase 'go over the plan' means to review or examine it carefully. The other options do not fit idiomatically in this sentence.

The correct preposition to use with 'angry' when referring to a person is 'with'. Therefore, 'Please do not get angry with me.' is correct.

The correct preposition to use with 'argue' in this context is 'with,' making 'argue with you' the correct phrase. The other options do not fit grammatically or idiomatically.

The correct preposition to indicate a time range is 'from', as in 'from eight to seven'. The phrase 'between' is used with 'and' (e.g., 'between eight and seven'), not with 'to'. Therefore, the correct sentence is 'The departmental store is open from eight to seven.'

The correct preposition to complete the phrase is 'to', as in 'applicable to accident claims'. This is the standard collocation in English.

The correct word to fill in the blank is 'either' because the sentence presents a choice between two options connected by 'or'. The phrase should be 'He is looking for accommodation either in a flat or a shared house.' The word 'both' is used when referring to two things together with 'and', but here the conjunction 'or' indicates a choice, so 'either' is the appropriate word. The other options 'until' and 'neither' do not fit the context.
