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 phrase 'cock and bull story' refers to an unbelievable or implausible story, often fabricated or exaggerated, making option D the correct choice.

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 sentence uses 'Look!' to indicate something happening right now, so the present continuous tense 'is leaving' is correct. 'Leaves' is simple present and less appropriate here, while 'leaving' alone is not a verb form, and 'does leave' is emphatic and uncommon in this context.

The word 'Assailant' means a person who attacks someone physically or verbally. 'Assaulter' is a synonym as it also refers to someone who attacks. The other options do not have similar meanings.

Option C, "smarter than those," is the correct comparative form when comparing students in our school to students in other schools. It correctly uses "smarter" with "than" and specifies "those" to refer to the students in other schools, making the sentence complete and grammatically correct.

The correct phrase is 'took lessons to learn how to swim' because 'to learn' is the infinitive form used to express purpose. The other options are grammatically incorrect in this context.

The sentence requires the subject pronoun 'they' for the first blank because it is the subject of the clause 'couldn't find anything.' The second blank also requires the subject pronoun 'they' because it is the subject of the relative clause 'they liked.' The pronoun 'they' correctly refers back to 'Anna and Tania' in both cases. Therefore, 'they, they' is the correct choice.

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.

The correct preposition to use in the phrase 'expect more ______ their children' is 'of.' This is a common English collocation where 'expect more of someone' means to have higher expectations from them.

The correct form after 'didn't' is the base form of the verb, which is 'watch'. Therefore, 'I didn't watch TV last night' is grammatically correct.

The subject 'Tania, accompanied by her brother,' is singular because the phrase 'accompanied by her brother' is a parenthetical expression and does not change the singular subject 'Tania.' Therefore, the singular past tense verb 'was' is correct.

The antonym of 'dismantle' (which means to take apart or break down) is 'build' (which means to put together or construct). Among the given options, 'Build' is the correct antonym. The other options (Vie, Raze, Outclass) do not mean the opposite of dismantle. 'Raze' actually means to completely destroy or demolish, which is similar to dismantle, not its opposite.

The word "car" is a common noun because it names a general object and is not capitalized or specific. It is not a proper noun, compound noun, or verbal noun, and while it is a concrete noun, the best classification here is common noun as it refers to a general item.

The word 'taciturn' means reserved or uncommunicative in speech, so its antonym is 'loquacious', which means very talkative. The other options (reticent, introverted, meek) are similar in meaning to taciturn, not opposite.

The sentence is a first conditional structure expressing a real possibility in the future. 'If I have money, I will purchase it tomorrow' correctly uses the present simple in the 'if' clause and 'will' + base verb in the main clause to indicate future action.

The correct phrase is 'it still lags' because 'lags' is the correct third-person singular form of the verb 'lag' to agree with the subject 'it'. The adverb 'still' correctly precedes the verb to indicate continuation.

The phrase 'It is no use' is correctly followed by the gerund form of the verb, which is 'trying' in this case. Therefore, option C is the correct choice.

The correct preposition to describe a horse jumping a fence is 'over,' as it indicates movement across and above the fence. The other options do not correctly convey this meaning.

The correct preposition to use with 'aware' in this context is 'of'. The phrase 'aware of the problems' is standard English usage, indicating knowledge or consciousness about something.

The correct preposition to use with 'robbed' in this context is 'of', so 'robbed of her purse' is grammatically correct. 'By her' or 'by hers' would incorrectly suggest she did the robbing, and 'of hers' is not idiomatic here.

The correct preposition to use with 'pocket' is 'in' because keys are located inside the pocket, not on, at, or from it.

The phrase requires a definite article 'the' because it refers to a specific person, the daughter of former information minister Nisar Memon. Therefore, 'the daughter' is correct rather than 'a daughter' or 'daughter' without an article.

The word 'Sagacious' means having or showing keen mental discernment and good judgment; wise. Therefore, the synonym 'Wise' is the correct answer.
