Question

She is a close friend of ____________.

• A. my
• B. I
• C. me
• D. mine
• A. when
• B. before
• C. after
• D. till

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The sentence provided is: "She is a close friend of ____________." To fill in the blank with the correct grammatical option, we need to understand the roles of the options provided:

• my: It is a possessive adjective used before a noun, e.g., "my friend".
• I: It is the subject pronoun, used as the subject of a verb.
• me: It is the object pronoun, commonly used as the object of a verb or preposition.
• mine: It is a possessive pronoun, used to show ownership and usually stands alone.

In the sentence, the object of the preposition "of" requires a possessive pronoun to complete the phrase. The correct grammatical choice is:

mine

Therefore, the complete sentence is:

She is a close friend of mine.

Answer 2

To select the correct word to fill in the blank, we need to analyze the context of the sentence. The sentence "He took care of her _____________ she was restored to health." requires a word indicating the duration of an action. The correct answer is "till" because it shows continuous action until another action is complete. Below is the structured solution:

Option	Explanation
when	Indicates a specific point in time, but here we need a word expressing duration.
before	Suggests an action occurring prior to another, which doesn't fit the context of ongoing care.
after	Implies subsequent action, not fitting the sentence that needs a concurrent timeframe.
till	Correct choice, indicating continuous care up to the point of her health restoration.

Thus, the completed sentence is: "He took care of her till she was restored to health."
