 Choose the correct part of words to fill in the blanks
The instructor asked the students to work ......... the given sum in the note book and hand it.......to him forcorrection.

• A. out,over
• B. out,away
• C. on,over
• D. away,in

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The given sentence is: "The instructor asked the students to work ......... the given sum in the notebook and hand it....... to him for correction."

Let's analyze the correct parts of words required to fill in the blanks:

1. For the first blank, the expression "work out" is commonly used in English to mean solving or finding the answer to a problem. In this context, "work out the given sum" suggests that the students should solve the arithmetic or mathematical problem.
2. For the second blank, the expression "hand over" means to give something to someone else. This fits perfectly in the sentence as it conveys the idea of giving the solved problems to the instructor for correction.

Now, let's evaluate the provided options:

• out,over: This is the correct choice as explained. "Work out" means to solve, and "hand over" means to give something to someone.
• out,away: Incorrect because "hand away" is not a standard phrase used for giving something to someone.
• on,over: Incorrect as "work on" implies engaging with some work but does not necessarily mean solving it. Additionally, "work on the given sum" is not typically used specifically for solving a problem.
• away,in: Incorrect because "hand in" would mean submitting the work, which is somewhat close, but "work away" does not fit the context of solving a sum.

Therefore, the correct choice is out,over.
