English

The word "chicanery" means the use of trickery or deception to achieve a purpose. Therefore, "trickery" is the correct synonym among the options provided.

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

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 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 word 'propensity' means a natural tendency or inclination toward something, making 'inclination' the correct synonym. The other options do not share this meaning.

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 phrase is 'The rains have set in,' which means the rains have started and are continuing. 'Set in' is a common phrasal verb used in this context.

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 word 'countenance' primarily means 'facial expression,' making option D the correct synonym. The other options do not accurately reflect the meaning of 'countenance.'
