EnglishFIA

They agreed that the election ------------- be held at an early date.

A
Should
B
Would
C
Shall
D
Could
Explanation and memory cue

The modal verb 'would' is appropriate here because it expresses a future action that was agreed upon by the parties. In the sentence 'They agreed that the election ------------- be held at an early date,' 'would' conveys the idea of a future event decided in the past. While 'should' can sometimes be used to express expectation or obligation, it is less suitable for indicating a future event agreed upon. 'Shall' is more formal and less common in this context, and 'could' implies possibility rather than certainty. Therefore, 'would' fits best to express the agreed future event.

The courageous man never disappears from success.

A
about
B
of
C
over
D
from
Explanation and memory cue

The verb 'disappear' is commonly followed by the preposition 'from' to indicate the place or state from which something ceases to be visible or present. In the phrase 'The courageous man never disappears from success,' the preposition 'from' correctly conveys that the man does not vanish or fade away due to success. Other prepositions like 'about,' 'of,' or 'over' do not fit idiomatically in this context.
